TO COMMENCE
 A NEW TRIAL Court Martial Will Begin Fresh Proceedings
 Against Zola.
French Army Officers Refuse to Be Bluffed by the Novelist
 and Friends.
The Government Will Not Allow a Renewal Of the Scandalous Scenes
 of tho First Trial.
Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett

PARIS, April s.-The court-martial which met in consequence of the judg- ment of the high court of appeal to consider whether 1t would in its own name institute fresh proceedings against M Zola has decided in the af- firmative, and has also passed reso- lution asking that an application be made to the grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor to have the na- of Zola struck off the list of officers in the Legion.
 This decision was only taken after a long consultation with closed doors and after a warm debate. l under stand from a reliable source that the argument which prevailed among the officers of the court-martial was the maladroit and impudent attitude of Zola and his friends when the decision of the court of appeals was made known. They asserted that the court did not dare to reopen cause or so scandalous a nature to fresh trial. wherein no one would be spared. The court-martial would not appear to shrink before such menaces or tc dis avow even in appearance the actlon or General Elliot, Minister for War, who instituted the proceedings on his own initiative.
 ZoIa's freinds and Zola himself, in an interview yesterday, expressed satis- faction at the prospect of new trial. but I have good reason for believing they are mistaken as to the prospect of fresh scandals. The Government has fully decided not to allow the scan dalous scenes and disturbances that accompanied the first trial to be re- newed I give you the opinion of a member of tbe Government who said to me: "The Zola trial is chose jugee. Remember, in France the same things are not done twice."

Thrilling Climax in the Crusade of John
 KenZil.
Seizes a Crucifix in St. Cuth- bert's Church as a Protest
 Against "Pcpery."
During tho Most Painful Scene That Followed the Reforner" Was
 Roughly Handled.

LONDON, April 9.-The anti-Ritual- ist crusade of John Kenzil, the lay man who on January 15, 1897, caused a sensation by reading a protest against the election of pr. Mengel Creighton as Bishop of London in succession to the Most Rev. Frederick Temple, now Archbishop of Canterbury, on the ground of pr. Creightons alleged de- sire to "undo the work of the Reforrna- ton by introducing the trinkets of Rome, etc.," has been especially vigor- ous during Holy Week, eliminating in extraordinary scenes in St. Cuthbert's s Church yesterday Good Friday) where, as customary during the past years, the conduct of the service con sisted in chanting St. Johns story of the Passion on the same lines as the Oberammergau play, the officiating clergy taking the roles of Christ, Pilate and Caiaphas.
 as the "Veneration of the Cross" and the crucifix was being removed from the altar to the steps when the clergy, acolytes and congregation advance in pairs, prostrate themselves and kiss the figure of Christ"
 At the tail of the procession was MT. Kenzil, surrounded by a body of friends. They advanced to the altar steps; but, instead of kneeling, Ken gil mortified the congregation by sud- denly seizing the crucifix, raising it aloft and frantically rushing toward the door, shouting: Tn the name of God I denounce this idolatry and Popery in the Church of England. May God help me-
 A most painful scene ensued A crowd of people surrounded MT. Ken gil and struck him and whirled with him, one man going so far as to thrust a handkerchief into MT. Kenzil's mouth in order to gag him. Finally the con- gregation rescued the crucifix and the police entered the church and arrested MT. KenZil.

uncertain clements No track, no course, no rudder no certainty that any breeze may not bring destruction.
 So with the sick man. His disordered constitution renders every natural operation uncertain. No organ can be depended on to do its n maj work. The stomach will not digest food the liver will not filter bill ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys and skin will not excrete the waste. No regular rourishing or purifying process is going on. There is no certainty except the certainty of suffering.
 In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con- ditions, what is needed is to change the ab- normal, cratic operations of the system into natural, regular, straightforward pro- gress in the right direction Nothing in the world will do this so rapidly and certainly as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 It directly regulates the vitalizing func- tions It sets the stomach and liver into natural, healthy operation and givec the lood-making glands power to manufac, ure an abundance of pure, rich blood
 It creates appetite; builds up muscular strength, and banishes nervousness and neuralgia. As it can be assimilated by the weakest stomach. its nourishing properties are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil In severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
 The druggist who recommends something else as just as good " is thinking more of his extra profit on the "just as good !" kind than of your welfare.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 SONORA, April 9.-Thomas W Wells, County Treasurer and manager of the Sonora agency of the Bank of Commerce, Is short Sl9,000 in his accounts as treas urer. He has secured the bank, turning over all of his private property and se- curties. There was a run on the Bank of Commerce this morning, but depositors soon quieted down when it became known there was plenty of money on hand to cash every check presented Many who at the start clamored wildly for their deposits this afternoon redeposited their funds.
 Many business men and local capital ists came to the relief of the bank Con- fidence is now fully restored
 Treasurer Wells has borne an enviable reputation for honesty. He was temper ate, and never gambled or dssipated in any manner. It is confidently expected the securities will cover the deficiency when realized upon.
 Henry F. Emeric, who, until two months ago, was president of the Bank of Com. merce, said last night:
 This is great surprise to me- for none of Wells friends here has received any intimation that he was in trouble. l cannot imagine how he could get away with that amount of money, for he is a. man of exemplary habits and a shrewd business man.
 He has property in Sonora and else where that is worth I should says $50 900 or OOOO, and I am sure he will make good any shortage there may be.
 'As for the bank, it will not be affect ed in the least. w. c. Murdoch, the cash fer, is now in Sonora and will protect it's interests. l have known Wells for a long time and regarded him as one of the most trustworthy men I know. We are interested in the Bell mine in Tuolunne County. but he has not sunk any money in that"

II-FEAR.-AN ALLEGoRY.
I The author here refers to his Jaiher.

I-FEAR.-AN ALLEGORY.
Fear stiles Truth, and, hand in hand with
Doubt,
Locks hell within while Heaven knocks with
out;
1t is q cancer in the human mind
Which rots the soul and leaves the mortal
blind.
But all fear Death. No cresset lights illume
The dark arcana OF the silent tomb;
We yearn to gaze into that Great Afar,
But find 1t marked by no assuring star.
When once ship by Deaths dark gale is blown
Into the vortex of the wild Unknown
It's crew is lost. We find its shattered hull
And leave it sadly to an endless lull;
But wnere the men that moved upon its deck?-
That furled its sails ere it became wreck
Where is the spirit of that lifeless ship?
There is NO answer which the human lip
Can frame with certainty. The sweet belief
That they are anchored ON some golden reef
May fill our hearts; but since we cannot know,
Is it not natural that we fear to go
Upon that Sca-that black mysterious Sea
Where yawns the maelstrom of Eternity?
We hope. we trust, that Charon's bark did save
Those struggling sailors from their vessels
grave;
We hope-ah, yes,-that they have anchored
There
Where, to eternal Peace, they may repair,
But, 'twixt this shore and That, no cable lies
And no glad message greets our fearful eyes

Pursuant to call county con-
vention of the Independent Par
ty of Custer county met in con-
vention at Clayton on Tuesday,
Oct. 11th.
The day was stormy, but this
did not interfer with the attend
ance. Out of "a delegates ap-
portioned % votes were cast in
the convention-only two pre-
cincts-Sunol and Stanley-not
represented.
Clayton was in gala day at
tire in honor of her large dele
CATION of guests. The Challis
people were more numerous than
any other outside town-some
% being present. The Challis
Cornet Band also accompanied
our delegation. They went up
in the band wagon, and treated
Clayton people and their guests
with many choice selections
which was highly appreciated.
The convention was called to
order at 2:30 o'clock p. m. by
M. M. Sweet, who was after
ward made temporary and per-
manent chairman, and w. D.
Pierce was elected also tempor-
ary aud permanent secretary.
We have not the space to give
the proceedings of the conVen-
ton in detail (although we have
them), but will give it from gen.
eral observation. The ticket as
nominated and the platform ad-
opted will be found on the 4th
page of this issue, in the 4th col
umn owned by the Independent
Party of Custer county.-ED. M.
AS we haye said before, the
convention was a large gather
ing of delegates from the differ
ent portions of the county who
had assembled for only one OBJ
ject, and that was to place before
the voters of Custer county a
ticket that all could support, re-
gardless of political faith; a
ticket that represented the en-
tire county and not any one GER
tain precinct. 1t was not a cor
vention of Office seekers, but a
convention that represented the
people, and the only desire of
the delegates were to have a
good county government, and
we feel satisfied that this result
will be accomplished by the cleo
ton of this ticket. True, we en-
dorsed some on the fusion ticket,
but those endorsed were salts
factory to the convention, and
to the people. One plank of our
platform says as much 1--WE
believe the best men and women
should be elected to fill county
offices regardless of politics"
Some of the most bitter fus-
ionists who can find nothing else
against the Independent ticket.
are crying "Populist move" etc.
But facts do not prove this. 1t is
false. Look at the ticket and
see if tits so. We feel proud OF
our work at Clayton; we believe
that the majority our people en-
dorse our platform and the per-
sons nominated.
This was very harmonious
convention. Note how dreadful
ly silent the fusionists are on
county affairs. They must ap-
prove of the way they have been
conducted.

tee is as follows

l-STRAY LINES.

l-STRAY LINES.
The crescent moon is sinking in the West,
The stars are cleaning IN the vaults above,
The mists are dancing on the rivers breast,
The wavelets lisp wordless song of love.
The hour is late, and sad and lone sit,
Lost In the Distance OF unbroken Thought;
The stream glides by as If seem to it
A thing repugnant since with sorrow fraught
My mind has crept, o'er many black names,
To childhoods' hour, and now, in pensive
mood,
view the ghosts each cofined year contains,
And mock their movements in my solitude.
They jeer at me- but return the jeer,
And they are wondering why viii not weep
Their laughs have echoed in my throbbing ear
Till they are heard like senseless sounds in
sleep.
But there will come time
When I, like thee, shall fold my weary
hands
And lay my being in that clasp sublime,
Uncurbed by fetters and uncramped by bands.
Night for canopy-Chaos, my bed;
Oblivion for pillow--Death, my sheet;
How grand twill be to lay my aching head
Upon that cot !-how grand indeed !! How
sweet
What is this Death 2 A wall without door
Or has it doors that open into light
Art thou-O, Death Ia sea without a shoref ?
Or hast thou shores beyond the scope of
sight
1t matters not to me. A dreamless sleep
Is what crave. But God knows best my
needs,
And shall toll, though, toiling. I must weep.
And hope and pray, although my bosom
bleeds.

IA Jrdgmeat from an uneonlpieted posm.l
II is in Fame our after-life is found;
The soul of man lives only in the sound
OF an illustrious name. From A, B, G,
He climbs aloft-he solves life's mystery,
And wins line, or-maybe more-a page,
In history; he "fiaunts upon the stage"
Perhaps day-the curtain drops and then
He is forgotten by his fellow men.
The clap of hands. the faint applause he won
May echo for while, when all is done;
But soon tits o'er-eclat is like that flower
Which takes an age to bud, then blooms-an
hour
They tell how high hfe's ladder he did climb,
And scribe his name upon the sands of Time,
But from Oblivion's sea there comes wave.
Which sweeps the glory from his fading grave
