PRISON OF A TRAITOR.

Is Confined.

lie du Diab1e, Where Captain Dreyfus
Is Confined.
Information has reached Paris with re-
gard to the arrival of Dreyfus, the ex-cap-
tain of the French army, who was con-
victed of treason, at the He du Diable, off
French Guiana, says the New York Herald.
There was considerable difficulty in land
ing the prisoner, owing to the reefs which
surround the island to distance of some
200 yards from the shore. The boat by
which Dreyfus ana the Governor of the
penitentiary landed was nearly capsized
by wave about twenty yards from the
beach. On being handed over to the Gov
ernor of the penitentiary by the captain OF
the ship, the Vide de st. Nazaire, Dreyfus
again protested his innocence.
Il will submit" he said, "to all the ext
gencies of discipline, and you will have nc
prisoner more submissive than 1. / will
await with patience till the affair has been
cleared up and my innocence recognized"
Dreyfus receives from the authorities a
soldiers rations without wine. He can GO
out from in the morning till in the
evening within a space of $50 meters, the
limits of which are marked by posts. II
he goes outside these limits the guardians
have orders to use their guns. The sur.
roundings of the cabin occupied by Drey-
fus for radius of 800 meters have been
cleared of brushwood, so as to render i'm.
possible any attempt at escape or rescue
There is, besides, on the beach perpetual
surf, which renders all approach to the
island extremely difficult.

CARPENTERS MAss-MEETING.
New Members Needed to Save the
Union Boat.


The third of series of meetings
of union carpenters was called to order in
the Turk-street Temple by Pacific Coast
Organizer E. /. Malsbury last evening.
The first speaker, H. Myers, gave ''fact
and figure" review of the benefits to be de-
rived from afiliation with the Brotherhood
of Carpenters. w. II. Hutchinson followed
with the statement that the union boat
needed outside assistance or it would
surely go over the falls.
g. NJ. Fulton thought that unless extra
exertion was put forth. carpenters would
be getting 81 so day within year.
Union No. p Giee Club sang union rally
song. The chairman said that if the ear
penters would come into the brotherhood
the Builders Exchange would carry out its
promise to force the payment of the
Chicago rate, 40 cents an hour. P. II. Nc
earthly was of the opinion that the men
who deserted the unions after the eight
hour rule was forced upon employers on
May !, 1890, were towards and knew it,
| and that most of them would Jump at Sc a
week now.

received numerous letters from all parts of the
coast similar to your own. I always answer

and in this way the ranks of the beasts are
thinned out until from a possible thirty or
forty but seven or eight remain. These
are preserved for the horsemen on the ice,
who are generally the best marksmen IN
the party.
The frightened beasts are given an OPP
portunity to escape. The circle is broken
with the opening so calculated that the
wolves will fee to the ice. They lmme-
diateIy dash through, and the horsemen
remain inactive until they have passed be-
yond their circle; then they give chase.
The wolf with his sharp claws, is a swift
runner, even on smooth ice, and when the
ice is covered with slight coating of snow
he is capable OF making wonderfully quick
time. But as fast as be is the little mus
tangs are able to keep close to his heels in
straightaway race, but the wolf has the
advantage of being able to make quick
turns, and that is what he does.
Every wof-hunter mounted on horse
is proud OF his craftsmanship and it is the
aim of each to shoot an animal in the
head, which, from horseback, is no easy
matter To shoot one through the body,
these men claim, requires no skill, and so
1t often happens that several hours are
consumed in the wild chase of the wolves
before the remnant is destroyed and it is
not infrequently the case that one man
succeeds in killing the greater number.
When the last wolf escapes or has been
killed the party returns to the town with
their trophies and the affair winds up with
a banquet and ball, which is looked upon
as the event of the season. The man who
has proved himself the most expert marks
man is designated as the leader of the
hunting party for next season.

delivered speech touching on the subjects

roads and free schools, denounced the last
legislature for failing to extend Judge Vim

and increased the district representation
at county conventions from five to nine

tute the Montgomery representation of
that body. Immediately following the con-
Vention the county committee met and
elected Tom c. Moves chairman

SoVernorship question was clearly shown
by two test votes. The committee on NOM
nations submitted a report providing for
a Lowndes delegation but this report was
turned down by the convention, and SUBJ
stltute LOT of Observation-Disclosures who are

So many of the delegates as may be pres
ent at the Cambridge convention were di-
rected to cast the four votes of Montgom-
cry, which will preclude the use of proxies

More Light Requested ConcernIng
the Lighting Schedule.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The City Lights.
Gas lights all lighted by 7:24 pm; ex-
tinguishing begun at 3:4S am
The lighting is begun one hour before the
time named.
Can it be that the Washington Gas Light
Company furnishes one schedule for light
ing the city lamps for the public eye, and
another schedule for the public purse?
In The Star of yesterday it was stated,
presumably from official sources, that the
lamps would be lighted at T:24 pm, and
extinguished at 3:4S am. Writing for my
own neighborhood. 1 wish to say that the
lamps were not lighted until $40 pm. and
extinguished at 9:45 pm. In conversation
with one of the lamp lighters he informed
me that his schedule read from 6:45 Pm.
t" $40 pm; that is, the first lamp was to
be lighted at 6:45 pm. and the first ex-
tirgushed at 9:2O pm. AS a matter of
fact, neither schedule was followed. for, ]
am informed, but one hour is allowed to
each territory for completing the task.
Cannot The Star throw more light upon
this dark subject? Are the taxpayers to be
credited with having the benefit of eight
hours of light with less than two hours
service? E. l. BOORAEM.

THE SALE RESTRAINED.
Judge Lynch Interferes With the Dis
pOsal of the Glen Echo RailrOnd.

The Glen Echo railroad was to have been
sold under foreclosure of deed of trust, at
it's junction with the Tenleytown road, yes
terday at Q o'clock, but an injunction OBJ
tanned from Judge Lynch at Frederick, Nd
by the attorney of E. and E. Baltzley, Mr.
John Rdout. was served on the trustees
and the sale was, therefore, not made
Messrs. E. and E. Baltzley, who are most
largely interested in the railroad say thai
the present deed of trust is for balance
due, principally to the Westinghouse COM
pany, amounting in the neighborhood of
$1,000 and interest, the original amount
having been reduced from $4,000, and while
that company wanted a settlement, it has
only been recently that extreme measures
have been threatened, through the nf1u-
ence 1t is believed. of parties who wanted
to acquire the railroad. The Messrs. Baltz-
ley and others having put large sum of
money in this road, amounting to over
$20O.0oO say they will not permit it to be
sold for such a paltry sum.
