DREYFUS FAMILY SUICIDES,
Members of French Aristocracy and Quite
 Well to Do

Paris, Nov, S--A man named Drey- fus, a cousin of Captain Dreyfus, the deported artillery officer imprisoned CT an island off the coast of French Gui- ana; his wife, formerly the Countess Checuerty, and their three daughters respectively thirteen, eleven and seven years of age, committed suicide this morning or last night at their residence on the Avenue Marceau. Dreyfus left a letter for the commissary of police of that district, enclosing 400 francs with which to defray the expenses of the funeral of the family.
 Dreyfus left Q long letter to the Temps and others to his financial part ner, M. Dikof, and to his mother-in-law In the letter addressed to the Temps he argues that suicide is justifiable, urges that those dissatisfied with life would do we'll to follow his example, and says: Tt is better for the children to die with their parents, as their moth CT has also elected to commit suicide' He refers, without mentioning any names, to a ''man responsible for my ruin," but all the letters treat the req sons for the suicide evasively. M. Dikof asserts that the deceased man was in comfortable circumstances and had property, with an annual income of about $25O0. Dikof's theory is that the tragedy resulted from excess of melancholy or madness.
 The apartments occupied by the de- ceased family are richly furnished. In the dining room the police found the remnants of an ample repast. It is thought that the two elder children went to school daily. Last Saturday the girls bade the superioress of the school goodbye saying they were go- ing to London with their parents. The method of suicide of the Dreyfus fam fly was by asphyxiation by charcoal fumes. It is believed that the suicides were committed because of recent loss es by Dreyfus on the bourse

MRS. 1NGELL'S SUIT.
Counsel Asks That Complaint Against
 Goulds be Dismissed.

New York, Nov. S.-W. E. Ward, counsel for Mrs. Angel, appeared be- fore Justice Beach in the supreme court this afternoon and asked the judge to make an order dismissing the complaint and giving him leave to dis continue the action. He said that he was thoroughly convinced that there was no foundation for the action.
 Elihu Root, who represented the Gould heirs, warmly commended MT. Wards action. He thought, however, that the complaint should not be dis missed without such a record being made as to exclusively and forever bar the plaintiff from reasserting her claim. They intended, he said to take action against the authors of the con- spiracy to blacken the reputation and blackmail the heirs of the late MT. Gould.
 Lawyer Ward agreed with MT. Root. The justice directed an order to be en- tered denying the motion and followed that by another order providing that the action should be preferred on the circuit calendar for the first Monday in December and that personal service of this order be made upon the plaintiff in the action.

UARV.4RD,S SUDDEN CHANGE.

YaIe's Brace Causes Cessation of Easy
 Confident Talk.
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. S.-The re- port of the tremendous brace taken by the Yale team last week culminating in the game Saturday with Chicago, to- gether with meagre scraps of informa- tion that has been let out concerning the progress of the Harvard eleven have combined to bring about sud- den and entire change in the college at mosphere and all the easy confident talk has ceased.
 It would be wrong perhaps to say that there has arisen pervading fear that Yale will come up on Saturday with her old time strength and repeat the old time result; but the thought of that possibility has come over the col lege isl the last two days with telling force. If there has been leak in the Harvard hopes it is accountable to the ignorance in which the student body Is kept of the condition of the team and the subsequent premium which has been given to discouraging prediction. It is impossible to deny that if nothing prevents Harvard from placing her regular lineup in the field on Satur- day, the Yale players at their best will face a defence which will dispute every inch of the gridiron.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING, Likely There wilAb Very Little Change
 in Teams,

Philadelphia, Nov. 8.-The National league meeting, which had it's prelim- mary or curtain raiser in a session of the arbitration board tonight, has drawn quite a representative gathering to Philadelphia. The league proper will begin it's session tomorrow. The mag mates all had representatives present except Washington and St. Louis. The board of arbitration remained in ses- sion until midnight. In the dispute over the services of Second Baseman Eagan the board decided that the play CT rightfully belonged to Pittsburg and awarded him to that club.
 The gossiping of the loungers in the Hobbies regarding deals snd rumors of all sorts and the playing over again in the minds of the little knots was con- tinued without cessation. There did not, however seem to be any basis for any of the proposed deals and the opin- ion was general that the teams would all line up in the spring about as they finished this fall.

S.-Gossip was fur nished fruitful topic to-day with the denouement of a brief wedding romance which was rudely shattered by the ap- pearance of wife No. 2-though in real ity she was the first wife-and two chill dren. The victim of misplaced confi- dence is Frances Wilkinson, aged twen- ty-two, a very attractive young lady, who had been employed as a waitress in Mrs. Popinos boarding house on Elm street, and the twice married man is Joseph Aver, aged about forty years, an expert natter. About six months ago he went to Mrs. Popino's to board and at once became attentive to Miss Wilkinson, and she reciprocating, they were quietly married in New York a lit tie more than month ago.
 The fact of the marriage was, how ever, kept a secret until Aver was talk en seriously i'll in Bethel and the young lady then insisted on her privilege as his wife to nurse him. He was about fully recovered, and as the fact of the marriage was known they decided to
 
 her husband in Bethel This visit was the occasion of @ rude awakening, how ever, for as she entered her husband S apartments she met there a strange woman with two children, aged about nine years and twelve years, respec- lively, and the younger one was on Ay- CTS knee and calling him papa" When the newly made bride learned that the strange woman was Ayers wife, whom he married in England and had desert ed when he came to this country, she at once collapsed. and it was necessary to call in medical assistance to resus- citate her.
 The sequel occurred this afternoon when Miss Wilkinson, feeling her posi- ton keenly, left this city for New York for the purpose of finding home for herself somewhere where she will not be known and where it will be impos- sible to locate her should an effort be made to prosecute Aver. Before going she showed her marriage certificate to some friends, but refused to dIvulge where the ceremony was performed.

KELLEY IS ON TRIAL
Jury Chosen to Try Him for Murder Of
 Cashier Stickney.


 Court House, Dover, N. H., Nov B. Joseph E. Kelley, the self-contessed murderer of Cashier Joseph A. Stick ney at Somersworth on April 16 last, was placed on trial in the supreme court for Stafford county here to-day and much more was accomplished duf- ing the first days deliberation than had been anticipated by any one connected With the proceedings. Kelley has de- clared on several occasions that he had no fear of the day when he would be called to answer to the charge of mur- dering Cashier Stickney and the coming of the day has apparently failed to change his position. His relatives and friends declared that he never looked better in his life and he presented a picture of youth and health. During his confinement in the county jail he has gained eighteen pounds and now balances the scales at 136.
 The day was mostly taken up in em- panelling the jury, the twelfth man be- ing accepted shortly after o'clock af- ter @ large number had been challenged by the defence and the prosecution. The remainder of the afternoon was taken up in the opening of the case for the state by County Solicitor Mason, who informed the jury that the state expects to prove the truth of the allegation set forth in the indictment that Joseph F. Kelley killed Joseph F. Stickney with a blackjack and razor and that it was a deliberate and premeditated murder Court closed late in the afternoon.

RESPONSIULE FOR FIRE LOSS.
Worlds Columbian Exhibition Must Pay
 French Eepublic.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Judge Grosscup of the federal bench to-day handed down an opinion holding the Worlds Colum- bian exhibition responsible to the French republic and the French exhib- itors by reason of the fire on the night of January 8, 1894. The loss to the French republic consisted of five Beau vais and Gobelin tapestries and two magnificent Sevres vases made for or naments at the entrance to the cham Der of deputies.
 The French republic claimed $50,000 on it's direct loss and $10,000 more by reason of delay and extra expenses at tending the fire. Half dozen eXhibi- tors from France had a combined loss of $15,G00. The court did not fix the amount of damages to be paid by req son of the fact that it appeared that some of the private exhibitors had coli lected insurance and the court desires that it appear that the suit is brought in the interest of insurance companies and to be limited to the amount ac- cepted in insurance.

QUESTIONS OF IMPORTANCE
BEARING OF SIR WILFRED LAU- RIER'S YLSIT TO BENNINGTON.

Sealing Problem Will bc Discussed and
 Canadian Premier Will Urge Strongly
 the Settlement of Border Immigration
 Matter-Wil Ask Co-operatiOnsin Open-
 ing Short Route to Klondike.
 Washington, Nov. S.-The authorities here have been advised that the arri- premier of Canada Sir Louis Davies, minister of marine in the Laurier cabi- important bearing not only on the Beh- ring Sea settlement, but on all the sources of international complications between the United States and Canada, namely, the passage of alien laborers to and from Canada, the North Atlan- tic fisheries question, the presence Of many Americans in the Klondike ter ritory belonging to Canada and in the mining regions of British Columbia, the fisheries trouble along the great lakes, the bonding privileges granted Canadi- an railroads, the controversy over rights in the Frazer river, British Co., lumbia and in the Puget sound, and also the question of a reciprocity ar rangement between the United States and Canada.
 While the Behring Sea settlement oc- casioned the visit of the Canadian pre- mier, the Canadian authorities attach much less importance to it than they do to the other questions mentioned They say that the Canadian sealing in terests are confined almost entirely tc the far western territory, where the sealers fit out, and that even there con. siderable percentage of the so-CalleC Canadian sealers hail from Seattle, Sar Francisco and other American ports who fit out in Canadian ports under the British flag. What basis of settle ment is not disclosed, but little doubt it is said, is felt by the Canadians that an amicable adjustment will be made Sir Wilfred and his associates will
 urge strongly that the border immi- grafton question be settled and on this point will confer with the president In this connection also the co-opera- | ton of the United States is desired in | plans of the Canadian authorities tc | make an easy route to the Klondike | The need of this short route under the patronage of the dominion is felt by the i Canadian premier to be imperative in view of information reaching them | that 15,OOO Australians will come to the
 Klondike in the spring. A total of 50,-
 900 colonists are expected to head that | way.

 Thorn, for the murder of one William
 Guldensuppe, a bath rubber, was en-
 tirely taken up in securing jury and
 much to the surprise of all those in
 terested, the efforts of the lawyers for
 the prosecution and defence will long be
 remembered, as twelve good men and

 Last nights fire was in Welch hall, on the campus. About il o'clock as Campus Policemen Donnelly and Wiser were making their rounds they noticed smoke issuing from the entry nearest Osborn hall. They rushed down the steps into the basemen and found a brisk fire eating it's way along the students rooming on the first floor were soon on the scene and with their assist ance the policemen succeeded in par tially quenching the flames.
 By this time ar alarm was sounded from the campus fire box, PA, and the fire department quickly responded They made short work of the flames but not before about $100 damage had been done to the building A portion of the stairway will have to be rebuilt
 J. Mott Brown '99 left his bicycle un- der the stairs and it was completely ruined. The trunks of the students oc- cupying the rooms in the entry were stored in an adjoining room, but were only slightly damaged by water.
 The door leading into the bathrooms on the opposite side of the hallway was badly charred. The origin of the fire is mystery, but it in all proba- bility started from a cigarette stump thrown into the ash can, which was fill ed with paper and sweepings and stood directly under the stairway.

DURRANT MUST HANG.
United States Supreme Court Decides Not
 to Interfere.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The fact that the United States supreme court has decided not to interfere with the exe- cution of Durrant spread quickly over the city to-day. The decision of the supreme court was not unexpected here and apparently only Durrant and his attorneys seemed to have any hope that the murderer would be saved from the gallows. At il o'clock Durrant had not been notified that his fate had been decided.
 District Attorney Barnes, who con- ducted the sensational trial, says that Durrant will not have to be resentenc- ed. He said that all that was neces- sary would be for the district attorney, when he received official notice for the defendant to go into court and ask for an order to proceed with the execution and that day be fixed for it. Dur rants parents were notified of the courts decision and were deeply affect ed. Mrs. Durrant wept but said her son was innocent and that she did not give up hope that he would be vindi- cated and his innocence proven.

Will Not Protest.

Washington, Nov. S.-The state de- partment officials say there will be no protest lodged against the proceedings in the case of the Competitor prison CTS at Havana at this time. Whether or not it will be necessary to act later will be determined by the outcome of the court-martial Our government has not assented to the claim by Spain to the right to try the men in this manner, but of course in the event of an acquit- tai of the prisoners, which is not re- garded as improbable, there will be no occasion for remonstrance
