modification OF the motion of VI. Casten demand

OF the reports that Dreyfus had been the victim
OF a plot and expressing confidence that the Gov
ernment would endeavor to punish the guilty per-
sons.
The opinion in the lobby after the debate was
that the Government would he obliged to order new
prosecutions in connection with the case Of Drey-

A Gallant Rescue.
Tom Garter, Colored, Saves Little
White Girl lJromG RunaWdy Team.

A colored Columbian distinguished
himself yesterday by a life saving feat
which, while it did not involve his
personal peril, was yet of a character
emitting him to high praise.
Mr. John w Hendrix of Lexington
county had come to the city to make
some purchases, driving his wife and
two little chiIdron il a wagon drawn
by that lusus naturae, frisky mule.
He stopped his team at Plain street,
the side entrance Of Mimnaugh's new
store under the Grand Central hotel
and leaving his family in the wagon,
went in to buy some goods. The mule
was facing eastward; something started
it and 1t swung round abruptly toward
the west, upsetting Mrs Hendrix and
the little boy QUE of the wagon, and,
turning into Main street, dashed at
full speed down that thoroughfare.
The little girl, Lila. lass of six or
seven years, had been thrown into the
bottom of the wagon.and could hardly
be seen 10y the pc op!e on the sidewalks;
but Tom Carter, stout young co 'ored
man employed at StrickTand's stables,
had glimpse OF her as the wagon
dashed by him and instantly set out In
pursuit.
1t was hard race, though short.
Opposite The State office Carter, who
ran like deer, reached the wagon =,
jumped up on 1t, snatched the little
girl from her perilous position, jumped
out, and seating her on his shoulder,
returned in triumph to Mimnaugh's 3
store where he delivered her to her
parents. AS he passed through the
crowd brought out to the sidewalk by
the exciting incident, he received a
shower Of coin testimonials to his
gallantry.
Strangely enough, the mule slacken-
ed its speed IA soon as the child had
been taken from the wagon, and,
while turning McKay's corner and
heading In the direction Of Lexington
was selzed and stopped.
Had the rescue not been 50 quickly
made the little girl would almost Ger,
tainly have been thrown out of the
wagon and seriously injured, il not
kitled.-The State, 18th inst.
