In Alton township the race of the
early settlers has passed away with
here and there an exception. Their
descendants, sons and daughters are
owners of large tracts of the lands Of
their town. The eastman brothers
John H. Thos. J. Jerry, William and
Mike own each from three hundred
to nearly six hundred acres, all with
good farm buildings and the lands in
a good state of cultivation, and high
ly productive. The boys are alright
and so are their farms.
Another of the big land owners is
VIM Mari, one of the successful men
OF the town. His sons Peter, Frank
and John P. are among the boys who
like their father, know that labor, in
dustry and economy faithfully APP
piled to the large estate, they occupy
and own will bring competence and
Independence. John P. Mari is a
graduate of Prof. breckenridge
school, good scholar and bust ness
man and at some future day will
make a model supervisor for his dis
trict.

Strife in the Cabinet.

sAAo
That relations in the cabinet have
been strained to the breaking point is
shown by the resignation of M. Cavaig-
nae, who headed one branch of the min
isterial council. This division has held
that there Is no ground for reopening
the Dreyfus trial. Upon what founda-
tion this belief rests it is hard to say.
M. Brisson, president of the council,
heads the other division. He is strong
ly In favor of the case being retired
from beginning to end. In this opinion
he is backed up by the majority of his
colleagues In the ministry. The two
parties became so irreconcilable that
before M. Cavaignac resigned it was
currently reported that he and M. Bris-
son would not have any relations with
each other except through an inter
mediary. This middleman was M.
Sarrien, minister of justice.
In the meantime the government
seems to have let slip through It's fin
gers a grand opportunity for showing
its love for justice. 1t is quite certain,
In the present state of public feeling,
that If the government were to order
that the Dreyfus trial be revised the de-
clsion would be received with general
satisfaction, not only among the civ
Hans but in the ranks of the army,
which, no matter what people may say,
remains entirely untouched as body
by the scandals laid bare in connection
with the Dreyfus agitation.
President Fauve Returns.
Owing to the resignation of NJ. God.
efroy Cavaignac, of the ministry OF
war, President Faure returned to
Paris Sunday morning and conferred
with M. Del Case, minister for foreign
affairs; M. Bourgeois, minister of pub
lie education, and Gen. Zurlinden. The
cabinet will meet to-day expressly tc
deal with a request from Nine. Drey
fus for revision of the proceedings
of the court-martial that condemned
her husband.
As the cabinet is now practically
unanimously in favor of revision
partly because the ministers are awar,
that there is no other method of salts
flying public feeling-the outcome O:
the meeting is almost foregone con
clusion. It is not thought that NJ
Cavaignac's retirement will involve
the resignation of other ministers
The fact that Gen. Zurlinden has beer
In conference with NJ. Faure is take1
to mean that he will succeed M. Cav
aignac at the war office.
According to LIE soir, NJ. Faure, who
received M. Cavaignac Sunday, strong
~ urged him to withdraw his resigna
ton. The paper also asserts that a

endeavor to prevent decision in favo,
of revision.

lister of justice, Nine. Dreyfus says sh,

Collided and Telescoped.

A local train from Providence, r. L.,
on the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad at Sharon, Mass, while
standing at the depot was telescoped by
an express train from New Bedford. Be-
tween thirty and forty people were
killed, besides large mum ber in jured.
The two trains which were in collision
were usually combined into one long
train, but at the time of the accident it
was divided. the first section running as
a local accommodation, while the second,
which started from Mans field fifteen MN
utes later than the first, ran as an eX-
press. The local train was due at Sharon
at 1902, but was thirteen minutes late. No
warning was given by the conductor of
the Mansfield local TO show the approach
ing train that the track was not clear
within 400 feet of the station, and the en-

The estimating of the number Of Ameri-
