DASHED INTO THE RIVER.

The two little children of Mine. Isadora Duncan, the famous cla<ssicul dancer, perished with their nurse, a young Scotchwoman, in a terribly dramatic motor-car accident at Paris. Tho- infants were only four and six years of ago respectively. Tho nurse, whoso name was Annie Sims, was taking tho little ones for a drive to Versailles. The car had just ..left Mmo. Duncan's house in the Hue de Chauveau at Neuilly, when, at the corner of tho Quai Bourdon, a taxi-cab barred tho chauffeur's way. The chauffeur, a man named Movo.rand, jambed on his brakes end stopped suddenly. This caused the engine to stop. Morverand got down to start it again.' As soon us he turned tho starting handle the car bounded forward towards tho river. Morverand lost hifj head, and the hesitation of a second was sufficient for the tragedy. Tho car da-shod down the river bank and plunged into tho Seine, which is 30ft deep at this spot. Tho bodies wore recovered.
