CAPTAIN ALBERT DREYFUs.

rested charged with having betrayed
important secrets Of the ministry of war
tC a foreign government. The actual
charges were shrouded in secrecy, but
French newspapers declared that Drey
fus had betrayed or sold important mil
itary information to the German en-
bassy in Paris. This allegation connect
ing the German government officially
with such a reasonable and dishonest
transaction rekindled the fame of hatred
that smolders in French hearts and
created great excitement in Germany.
Fuel was added to the blaze by the
statement that the principal evidence
against Dreyfus was letter in his
handwriting stolen from the German
embassy.
The Berlin press Indignantly denied
that the German embassy was implicat-
ed IN any such dishonorable transaction,
and Count Won Muenster, the German
ambassador to France. lodged diplomat
ic protest with the French government.
The French minister of war guardedly
disparaged the idea that the German
embassy was involved officially in the
affair, but the press of Paris continued
to reiterate the charge.
Meanwhile Captain Dreyfus was kept
a close prisoner, and his friends were
prevented from communicating with
him. The minister of war ordered a
court martial to try Dreyfus, and when
it met its sessions were conducted with
closed doors. The alleged Dreyfus letter
found" at the German embassy was
unsigned, but the court martial decided
that it was in Dreyfus' handwriting.
After trial Of two days he was con-
victed, and the council of revision con-
frmed his sentence, which is the severest
penalty applicable in time of peace.
Dreyfus' appeal for new trial was re-
/ fused, and dishonor and life imprison-
ment now stare him in the face. The
incident but emphasizes the popular be-
! lief that France and German are two
armed camps awaiting the signal that
any day may plunge the two nations in
another Franco Prussian war

NEARLY RUINED BY FIRE.

The I. j. KeIIam Homestead Now Occu-
pied by r. j. Parker.
The 7. j. Kellam homestead at GIG
Madison street, was almost destroyed by
a fire which started at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The house was sold by Mr.. Kellam
two years ago to the Santa Fe
been used for residence by the ply
stefan in charge of the hospital. It Was
occupied by the family of R J.
Parker, roadmaster of the Santa Fe
When the ire started there was no one
at home but the servant girl. About 10
o'clock she had occasion to GO in the front
part of the house and found the rooms
filled with smoke She found the upper
rooms were on fire. She gave the alarm
and the neighbors at once 1ocked in and
began carrying out the furniture. Nearly
everything on the lower hOor was taken
out before the fire put stop to the work
There was some delay in turning in
the alarm. and when the fremen arrived
the entire building was in flames. The
fire was confined almost wholly to
the upper story of the build
ing. The intense cold weather in
terfered, to some extent, with
the work of the fire department for the
water froZe almost as soon as it struck
the building. The ladders were covered
with ice and the coats of the f1remen
were coated with an icy mail which i'm
peded their movements The ice hung
from their whiskers and hair in long
icicles and they looked picturesque, al
though they felt very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Parker was at the depot to bid
her husband good by when the fire
started and when she arrived in view of
her home the flames were shooting from
a dozen places in the roof. The furni-
ture in the upper rooms was nearly all
destroyed and the roof was burned of.
The building was insured and
Mr. Parker had oh his furniture $1,000,
so that neither iIr. Parker nor the hos
pital association will lose much. The
damage to the building cannot be accu-
rately estimated.

the fremen at station No 2, fell from a
ladder and disIocated his right arm at

BIG WHEAT PURCHASE
Caused by a Heavy Reduction in Sea
board Rates.

Caused by a Heavy Reduction in Sea-
board Rates.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-During the past
week the purchase of over 100000
bushels of wheat here for export has
caused considerable wonderment.
It has now become an open secret that
the great incentive for these purchasers
has been to obtain a decidedly low
freight rate TO the Atlantic seaboard.
The belief is that all the grain will be
shipped to the seaboard granaries to
await future market turns. L. is stated
that the shippers have been given as low
rate as 10 cents.
The regular rate from ST Louis to the
Atlantic seq aboard is % cents. & water
shipment it is said has been made at IS
cents. and the cut of the all rail route it
is said. is made on plea of meeting this
rate.
1t is the biggest shipment of wheat
out of St Louis for years, but it is
claimed by the roads which did not get
the haul that this is no reason for a IL
cent per hundred cut.
The matter will undoubtedly come up
in the snaps IF charges against the road
getting the business at the next meeting
of the Central Traffic association if not
sooner.
