VALLEY VIEW. KY, Nov. 24.-Dora Clay, the
child wife of the s7-year-old Abolitionist. Gen.
Cassius NJ. Clay, attended William Bryant, the
would-be suicide. in her brothers cottage here
to-day. It was the night before last that Bryant
took poison. A doctor pumped it from his
stomach and he is growing better. He refuses
to tell why he sought death. Dora was much
worried over his attempt on his life and yester-
day abe was suffering from extreme nervousness.
Bryant Is 20 years old and rather good look
ing. Dora's brother, Clell Richardson, married
Bryant's sister. Bryant often visited his sister
while she was at Whitehall. Gen. Clay, sus.
pecting that he had designs on Dora, ran him off
the place, threatening to shoot him. He has
been at Clell's ever since Dora ran away from
whitehall. two weeks ago. and went to her
brothers..
Dore's pastor. the Rev. w. @. Young, who
says Gen. Clay wants him to persuade Dora to
return, has not been seen at Clell's house. Dora
says that no matter how many preachers como
to see her she will not go back until she gets her
visit out.

then cried. "If you don't leave me alone I'll use
q knife" at the same time drawing the
weapon from his pocket. Herr Lemisoh,
fearing the consequences. snatched the knife
and threw itinto . distant corner over the heads
OF the excited Deputies. 1t slightly wounded
Deputy oessmann. and was aftorward found on
the Moor with q blade open. Pfersche declares
that he did not open It.
This Incident had the effect Of euraglng the
Czechs and Poles stil moro. and they diligently
returned to their task OF drubbinR Wolf and
Pfersche, those nearest to them getti. g In q
kick from time TO time. The men and women In
the galleries had in the meantime taken to
screaming "They'ro are numbering him, He
cannot como out alive" and "For Gods sake,
help him."
In addition TO tho great central attraction
there were side shows in tho way Of smaller
knots Of Deputies beating and kicking each
other. Herr Ghom, an athletic German, re-
ceiving q blow from o Pole, seized his assailant
by tho collar and thrashed him to his hearts
content.
The scene lasted for q half hour. during which
a close-packed mass of Deputies surged up and
down the aisles Of the Chamber fighting and
shouting. 1t was only when they were all tired
out that they let go Of each other. Subse-
quently. tho Public Prosecutor examined q
number OF the Deputies who had witnessed the
riot. but who took no part In 1t.
Tho city was greatly excited by the proceed
ings OF the legislators. Special editions OF the
papers describing the fight were eagerly bought
and road, and the occurrence was about the
only topic in the cafes.

PARIS, Nov. 2&.-The forcible entrance Of tho
house Of Col. Picquard, formerly Of the War
Department, and the seizure Of papers found
there Is tho latest incident Of the Dreyfus affair.
The circumstance are Almost as mysterious as
those attending the arrest Of Dreyfus three
years ago.
Early this morning o carriage drew up at the
door Of n snug tenement in tho west end Of
the city and an officer wearing the rosette of
the Legion Of Honor alighted. He was &C.
oompanied by three subordinates. The officer
demanded OF the doorkeeper the names of
the persons residing in the house, and
then aroused all of them and searched their
rooms. He burst into Col. Picquard's rooms.
which were locked and unoccupled. Every
thing in the place was overturned and a guam.
uty of papers was seized.
On tho arrival Of the landlords agent, whom
the concierge had summoned, the officer showed
an anonymous letter addressed to the Minister
Of War, directing q search Of Col. ~Picquard's
rooms, and saying: You will learn a lot there
about the Dreyfus case"
The police at the Prefecture declare that they
were ignorant OF tho search and that the War
Office is entirely responsible for 1t.
In the same house resides, or lately resided. .
lady, who from all accounts appears to be
Count Esterhazy's yelled champion. Her name
is Madame de Beaumont. 1t is said that
she was deeply enamored of Col. Picquard and
wrote him reams Of typewritten love letters ap-
pointing weird places for interviews. Col. Pic
guard did not return her affection, and it 10
said that when she learned this she sent infor-
nation against him to tho War ONCE.
1t il curious that the War Office should have
taken such immediate drastic action on tho
strength of such information. The mystery is
far from becoming clearer; on the contrary It is
daily becoming more tangled.
Count Esterhszy. who has himself been ao-
cused Of being guilty Of tho crime for which
Dreyfus is now undergoing life imprisonment,
said some days ago that he had received q
letter from q yelled lady which showed tho
guilt Of Dreyfus. He further said that II
the contents of that letter were divulRed
q diplomatic storm would DO raised. and he ac-
cused Col. Picquard. who was then in Tunis. of
promoting a conspiracy against him. Col. Pic
guard was at once summoned from Tunis and
he will probably arrive here tomorrow.
1t 10 announced that Matthew Dreyfus, o
brother of the ex.Captain; Count Esterhazy. and
Col. Picquard will be confronted as soon as the
latter arrives in Paris.
