BRlANDYWTNE AGAIN IN COLL
SION.
About 4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon
the steamer Brandywine ran into a
barge belonging TO Hughes Brothers &
Sanra, which is at the wharf Of the
jackson and Sharp Company.
AS the Brandywine rounded the
curve, near the ehipyard. it was dis
covered that sloop was in front Of
her she was swung around to the right,
in order to avoid the sloop when she
crashed into the barge. The sloop es-
capped being hit, but it was nearly
upset in the effort to get out OF the
way. No damage was done to the
barge, and only the guard rail OF the
steamer was slightly damaged. This
is the third collision the steamer
Brandywine has been into during the
past three months, but, fortunately, she
has not been damaged enough either
time to place the passengers in an!
risk. The Brandywine proceeded on he
way to Philadelphia.

THE DREYFUS CASE.
A Revision Of the Trial OF
1894 Now Expected.
TO Be A SPECIAL COMMISSION
The Government Mt Last Takes Ac-
tion--A Change In the Tone of the
Press-Cireumstanc which Led
10 tho Change of Attitude.

PARIS, Sept. 19.--Le Soir says that
General Chanoine. the newly appointed
war minister. told friends that he re-
garded himself as a sentinel relieving
another charged with watching over
the army's rights and intimated that
as he was appointed after the first cab
met council OF Saturday he was not
responsible for the decisions reached at
the council. He declared that should
he see any attempt under pretext OF a
revision OF the Dreyfus proceedings 20
engage In maneuvers against the army
he would Immediately resign.
A majority OF Paris papers approve
OF the cabinets decision, which Is look
ed upon as the first definite step taken
toward revision.
At last the government has taken ite
courage In both hands and decided TO
move In the Dreyfus matter. After q
seemingly endless course OF delibera-
ton, hesitation and vacillation, II has
decided that there may be grounds for
O revision OF the trial Of 1894
At the ministerial council Saturday
morning the keeper OF the seals. NJ
Sarrin, was authorized TO convoke a
special commission charged by law To
investigate the demands for revision
now before the court OF appeals No
\body doubts what their opinion viii be
h Is felt that the case has re-entered
no path OF legality and justice.
Colonel Henrys confession. then his
suicide; the resignation OF General dc
Boisdenre, the cashiering OF Cornt'
Wnlsin Esterhazy, followed by the en-.
forced retirement OF the commandant
Du Patty de Clam. have separated and
unitedly Slapped the belief in the legal
ity OF the Dreyfus trial. And, although
there is still a preponderating belief II
his guilt, there Is also a general feeling
that his trial was Irregular and tina
only a perfectly irreproachable. fresl
trial can now satisfactorily confirm o.
invalidate the verdict OF 1894.
This explained why the decision o
Saturdays council meeting appears
likely TO be received more favorabl,
than would have been the case tire
weeks ago.
The ministers met at the Elysee un
der the presidency OF NJ. Felix Faure
The thoroughness with which the Drey

ings may be judged from the fact tina
the meeting only broke up at Is minute
after u O'Clock and that only the ques
ton OF revision was discussed.

STARVING L0FTIN OUT.

The Colored Postmaster at Hogansville
Ga. Is Making But 1 Cents Day
Hogansville, Ga, February Isaiah
H. Loftin, the colored postmaster at
this place, is earning an average OF II
cents a day, while his predecessor, I'M
der the Cleveland administration, never
failed to make $50 a month, and fire.
quently more.
Several months ago Loftin took
charge of the office, and soon after
ward he said he was shot While on
his rear porch, as the result Of an eff
fort to bulldoze him into resigning.
Since that time his salary has steadily
decreased.
! When Loftin complained the United
States officials sent inspectors and de-
tectives here to ferret out his alleged
assailants and devise some method by
which the people could be forced to
patronize the postofice. Loftin re-
ported that letters were mailed on the
trains instead of .assing through the
office, and as the postmasters at sta
lions of this class are paid according
to the amount of stamps they cancel,
the slump in his salary can be under
stood
An order was issued from the depart
ment to lock the boxes of the mail cars
on their passage through Hogansvllle, ana
for a day or two the authorities thought
they had solved the problem of COMPEL
ing the people to use the postoffice. But
the business men had the mail of the
town collected in one place and then in
trusted it either to drummers or to friends
who were going to some other station on
the read. Once out of the limits of Ho-
Evansville these persons would mail the
! letters on the cars, where the stamps
would be cancelled and Loftin wouldbe
left to depend for subsistence on the lit
tie business which originated with the To-
cal population of his race.
So systematic is this arrangement that
practically no business from any of the
white people passes through the office,
ard Loftin it is understood, has applied
for another government position. Among
the people here it is considered only a
question of a few days before he will re-
sign and a white Republican will supplant
him.

A BIG ATLANTIC CITY FIRE.
Flames Started in the Academy Of
Muslc, on the Beach Front.

Section Of the Boardwalk De-
stroyed-A Change in the Direc-
ton of the Wind Saved a BLOCK

So, 900.
$4,000.

Atlantic City, N. j., February T.
A fire which originated in the Acad-
envy of Music this morning destroyed
a half block of building. entailing a
loss Of about $4,000.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
officer Robinson discovered smoke
issuing from under the board walk
in front of the Academy OF Music. A
general alarm was sent in, but before
the engines arrived the Academy OF
Music was enveloped in flames. The
fire spread to Lapre's confectionery
store and there communicated to the
rear Of the Bryn Mawr Hotel.
The flames quickly spread to Bach
arach's furnishing goods store, Hut
ter's School of Phrenology, Myers
photograph gallery, the Gold Mine bath
houses, Smiths rolling chair establish
ment and a portion of the vitascope
parlors, on the board walk.
For a time it looked as though the
Berkeley Hotel, the largest hosiery
on Kentucky avenue, would surrey be
destroyed The rear of the hotel ad-
Joined the burned buildings and the
stiff westerly winds famed the flames
toward the big house Several lines OF
hose were run out of the hotel win
dows and the side of the building and
surrounding property was thoroughly
drenched.
The guests in the Berkeley Hotel
hurriedly packed their clothing and
prepared for hasty exit, but the wind
shifted at this time, and this alone
saved the hotel.
The floor of the big boardwalk for
a distance Of half a square was SO
badly damaged by the flames that 1t
will have to be rebuilt.
The heaviest losers are: Academy
of Music, $4,000; insurance small,
owned by Joseph Fralinger. Lapre's
confectionery store, $4,000. Gold Mine
baths. $4,000, owned by S. s. Mervine.
Stewart McShea's household goods, ST.
0O0 Bryn Mawr Hotel $4,000.
Bacharach's furnishing store, $1,000.
Owing to the fact that the property
destroyed was all beach front build
ings there is very little insurance, the
insurance companies refusing to take
risks aycant at very high rates
The Academy of Music was destroyed
by fire in 1888
The entire block bounded by New
York and Kentucky avenues on the
east and west, and the beach on the
north and south, containing dozens of
big hotels and dwellings, was in dan
ger before the change Of direction OF
the wind.
