PARIS July 13 -TNew York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. After a week
of more than tropical heat the wind has
veered 10 the northwest and rendered breath
ing more possible than for days. Paris is
assuming its usual aspect for the fete of July
IA. Somewhat more anxiety is shown this
year. In the popuious quarters every house
is decorated with bunting. The government
portion of the fete will be more elaborate
than during the past years. but in the way
of novelty nothing has been attempted.
From tho hour of dinner this evening the
streets have been crowded, with worlmen and
families, who evidently made up their minds
to enjoy themselves until tomorrow, or
perhaps Monday evening. The quares and
open spaces were occupied by amusements
usual at fairs, while night was rendered
hideous by the discordant braying of brass
bands playing for the entertainment Of the
interchangeable worshlppers of Terpsichore,
whose ardor was not dampened by the fact
that they had to dance on rough cobbIes.
Tho commission of the high court Of
justice, acting as grand jury, delivered on
Friday the final decision which sends Bou-
langer, Rocheforte and Dillon before the
high court Of justice for trial on the charge
of high treason. The facts alleged
against Boulanger anA,-Eirst, crime against
the state; second, the crime of conspiracy;
third, the crime Of the embezziement of public
|. moneys to the amount of $4,000 francs.
Dillon and Rochefort were indicted before
the high court as accomplices.
The conspiracy decree rendered includes
the charge of the embezzement of 252, 900
francs, for the reason that the commission
considered the fact connected with those
jurisdiction. Other acts of embezzlement or
peculation were brought to light in evidence
| before the commission, but lack of connection
between them and conspiracy caused the
commission TO leave them out of the indict-
ment. Tho commission, in 80 doing
left the procureur general liberty
to make these acts the subject
for a separate prosecution in the ordinary
courts.
The bill of indictment, which is to be pre-.
pared by the procureur general must be
served at the residence in France of each of
the accused persons This service will be
made in a few days, and then the public will
doubtless learn in detail the facts on which
the charges made against Bouanger are
based.
Mr.. Schaus writes
To the Editor of the Herald: A copy of
your paper of July l has just come into
my possession The sad story related
of DIR. Charles F., Stillman and
my daughter Mabel contains some errors
which ask the privilege of correcting l
never knew, either from Stillman or my
daughter, that the former was married
man until after the engagement had taken
place. AS soon / learned upon good
authority that Stillman could not get a
divorce the engagement was broken off by
me as a matter of course. l am aware how
deeply he had wronged my poor child.
What could be expected of a man base
enough to publish his own viliainy and the
shame and disgrace Of the girl he pretended
to love to the sorrow of respectable families
The course have taken in this sad affair
| needs no defense on my part. All that a
kind, indulgent father and loving, gentle
| and devoted sister could do to bring the
child back to the right path was unavailing
against the wiles of that selfish creature l
leave many things unsaid out of self-respect,
| a silence which my friends will approve.
Published in your journal there is another
atrocious accusation against noble and trus
| daughter, my daughter, which can not be
| passed over without notice by her father 1
| deny most emphatcally that she ever came
| between Mabel and myself. When ordered
| Mabel from home on account Of her re-
peatcd cruel deceptions her sister took her
| to her heart and home, acting the part of the
good Samaritan. / cannot help feeling out
ragged over her appalling slander of her good
sister. Mabel must have been mad or wicked
beyond description in making such unheard-
of charges against her sister-one
| VINO lived" q good life, who in
illness, and health would be ministering
| angel. From all tho family and sisters at
home Mabel met with nothing but kindness.
Minnie was jealous Of Mabel, but only for
| the sake of her reputation and good name.
| Mabel went of her own free will to Cincin-
| natl for the purpose of cultyating her voice.
| made her ample provision and hoped that,
| once away from the evil influence of Still
| man, she would reflect upon the past and re-
| pent. Not so, for no had the erring girl
| tracked by detectives. When / heard of
| her still being pursued by this villain re-
| quested Mabel TO choose between him and
| her father. Under his influence she left me-
| or course cut off her allowance, as could
| not condone her conduct with such man.
| He brought her back to New York, so as to
| have his victim nearer to him, under false
| assurance that he would marry her. Poor,
| deluded grill Will she realize her true po-
| sitioni Stiliman is still member of the
| Union League Lotus and other CLUBS. am
| told that 1t is said that beautiful
| girl, gifted and loved, should forsake family
| and friends and destroy brilliant future.
| And for whomi l trust that every paper
which has given publicity to this unhappy
drama will really publish my reply.
PARls, July ls. WILLIAM ScuAUs.
