ARE JUST STARTING.
Esterhazy Says the Fireworks Have
Just Been Touched OFF.

London, March 1O-The Daily News pub
fishes an interview with Count Ferdinand
Esterhazy, who is reported as having said:
1.-THE fireworks of the Dreyfus affair are
only just commencing. One thing is GER
tain. 1t is all up with General Boisdeffre.
He and General Roget are responsible for
Colonel Henry's forgery and DEATH All
the excitement, however, will end in smoke
and the pardon of Dreyfus."
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News who secured the interview says:
There is a curious connection between
this statement by Esterhazy and a state
ment by M. Drumond in the anti-Semite
Lfbre Parole. He also throws General
Boisdeffre Off and says he will be expelled
from the army"

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Fifty People Had Close Call to Death
at Chicago.

Chicago, March 9.-Fffty people narrowly
escaped death tonight In an accident to a
Halstead street electric car at North Hal
stead street bridge. Approaching the
bridge at a rapid rate of speed, the motor
man of the car failed to notice that the
bridge was open. When within few feet
of the river he suddenly discovered the
danger and put on the brakes, at the same
time endeavoring to reverse the electric
current In spite of his efforts the front
part of the car ran down upon the abut-
ments of the bridge and hung there. One
foot further and it would have plunged into
the river below and as it was damned with
passengers the loss of life must have been
frightful. The motorman, thinking the car
was doomed, warned the passengers and
then jumped into the river. The tipping of
the car on the abutment, accompanied by
the motorman's warning, caused panic
among the passengers and they made a
wild stampede for the doors. During the
rush for safety four of the passengers
were slightly injured
The motorman, after jumping into the
river. managed to clutch to some piles and
keep his head above water until he was
dragged out.

BOOT AND SHOE TRUST.
Proposition to Combine the Leather In
dustries of the Country.

New York, March "a special from
Boston to the Commercial Advertiser
says:
THE shoe and leather men of this city
and the shoe trade of the state are greatly
interested in proposition that has been
made to form a national boot and shoe
trust. 1t appears that the matter was
preached to manufacturers by Smith &
Ryan, of Chicago. A small meeting was
held but no action was taken. The meet
ing adjourned with the idea that the trade
should be canvassed and the result be re-
ported at a later meeting. There seems to
be a decided difference of opinion. The
largest manufacturers generally throw cold
water on what they call feeble attempts to
form combination. The project for an
upper leather trust is being actively
pushed. The movement is already consid-
cred a success although the promoters have
not gone quite far enough to make an an
nouncement of details.

NO OFFICIAL REPORT
Has Been Made on the Rioting of the
Tenth Immunes.

Washington, March 9-Regarding the
representations from Atlanta of rioting by
the Tenth immune colored regiment after
its muster-out at Macon, it was said at
the war department today that no official
report had been received, and as the troops
in question had been mustered out of the
service they would have to be dealt with
by the local authorities for any breach OF
law they might have committed. The fact
is, however, that the repeated occurrences
of this sort becoming a sore question
with the department, and it is highly prob
able that hereafter troops to be mustered
out will be sent to their own state and
given their discharges there.

said that the stage driver had brought

Friday night at about u o'clock. Early
in the evening a crowd of men got out
and were drinking and shooting up the
town generally, and in one instance
shot all the lights of a saloon out. A
quarrel resulted between Jack Holly
wood, a saloonkeeper, and Charles
Sells, foreman for the Paddock Cattle
company, and Hollywood struck Sells
several times on the head with a six

ing and cutting his head in a horrible
manner. Sells was picked up and TAX

loon and placed on a bed.
Several more rounds of whisky We're
taken, and at , o'clock, when the pro-
prietor of the saloon prepared to close
up his place, he stepped into the room
to see how Sells was, and found him
dead
