AT The NORTH END.

An individual whose nerve and other
disagreeable qualities were strangely
at variance with the qualities of North
Enders or those who visit this section

hands Of the police last night and few
arrests have ever been more pleasing
to observers than this one was. Peter
Mackin, a very popular young man,
was standing on the sidewalk in front
OF Reilly's barber shop on Charles
street when a stranger came up TO him
and in an insolent tone demanded a
nickel The demand was refused and
the stranger. with much insolence, re-
newed his demand for the money, say
ing he wanted NJ to buy n drink. Mr.
Mackin did not see why he should
comply with the demands of the would
be hold up, so he made second re-
fusal. when the fellow began punching
Mr.. Mackin. The blows did not have
much effect, save on MIR. Mackin's hat
Mr.. Mackin was perfectly able to take
care OF the fellow, but officer Mccarthy
and another policeman came along and
locked the stranger up for the night.
The police Of the Second station made
two arrests yesterday. In one case
drunkenness was the charge and the
other fellow was locked up on tho
charge Of being a suspicious character.

MKAY APPEARED TO Be TRANSFIxED.

New York, Aug. 31.-Abraham Sa-
piro had a thrilling experience yester-
day afternoon in big MASKING tub at
KATE Bros brewery In Paterson, N. j.
In the centre Of each tub there is a
steel shaft from which run two s<eel
tongues equipped with great claws or
knives that revol,e' in opposite direc-
tions and at the same time circle the
tub when the machinery is in opera
ton. These claws cut into and mix up
the malt. The tubs are lined on the
sides and bottom with copper and are
about twelve feet deep. The machinery
Is operated by levers In an adjoining
room.
Sapiro was at the bottom of the tub
cleaning the machinery when he direct
ed his assistant. Thomas Mckay, TO
turn the lever by which the malt is
heaped into the tub.
Mckay turned the lever that operates
the machinery. Instantly the big shaft
I'm the centre began TO revolve. and the
tongues and claws that extend to the
circumference began to whirl.
stop her! I'll be killed." shouted Sa-
piro. as he started on a run between
the whirling steel mixers.
Mckay lost his head when he saw
Sapiro's predicament and could DO
Meanwhile Sapiro was yelling with
all the power at his command The
speed OF the machinery increased each
second and as Sapiro sprinted he yelled
He knew that he must keep up with the
revolving tongues. If he failed he would
be torn to shreds by the sharp steel
blades that loomed up before and be-
hind him like the claws OF wild beast.
There was the danger also of slipping
on the copper floor. A slip or a fall
meant death.
Workmen I'm other parts of the build
ing finally heard Sapiro's shouts. John
Talk hurried to the mashtub room and
at a glance realized Sapiro's awful per-
II. Mckay stood near the tub appar-
emily transfixed.
Talk rushed TO the engine room and
turned off all the power I'm the nick OF
time. Sapiro was assisted out of the
vat. and then he collapsed.
He escaped injury. but he says he viii
never forget his terrible experience
Although he was less than five minutes
in the jaws of death II seemed to him
like an age. He was unable to tell how
often he made the circuit of the vat,
but his aching limbs convince him that
he made many laps In fast time.

Col. Jouaust told Dreyfus that he had
not explained why he mentioned the
term Of three years. TO which Dreyfus
replied:
II did not give three years as the
term. 1 only said / hoped that in the
course OF two or three years my inno-
cence would be recognized. And l wish
to state, my colonel. that as my letters
ITO Gen. Gonse show, my words did not
have the sense evil minds have sought
TO give them"
NJ. Labori then had Gen. Gonse called
TO the bar and asked him IL he had not
used the alleged confession OF Dreyfus
in opposing Col. Picquart's arguments
In favor of a revision. Gen. Gonse re-
piled that he had not.
Maj Forsinetti. who was governor OF
the Cherche Midi prison during the
time Dreyfus wss imprisoned there and
who testified in behalf of Dreyfus, de-
claring he had never heard OF the con-
fession Dreyfus rs said to have made,

peated his testimony before the Court
OF Cessation. adding that he frequently
met Capt. Lebrun- Renault and Capt.
Dattel and that neither of them ever

M. Loubet seems to be kind of in
genue among rulers-with all the sweet
simplicity and none of the arts. He Wis

last week and all the place was en- fete.
His old peasant mother, trembling with
emotion, waited on balcony specially ar
ranged for her, where. when the process
sion was over, her son was to join her.
But the president as he was driving by
saw the Old wrinkled face looking down
at him, and in spite of the procession.
which was in danger of being spoiled and
in spite of all the pomp and ceremony
he was expected to observe, stopped the
carriage, jumped out and running up the
balcony, caught the trembling little old
lady in his arms, hugging and kissing her
before all the world with boyish glee
Somehow the story seems better than any
fairy tale and the new president twice

mother who refuses to leave the old farm
and to discard her faithful peasant dress

/ Race Track Destroyed.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Deer Lodge, May 11.-zade Goddard, /,
who came in to-day from his home On
Modesty creek, between Race Track
and Lost creeks, brought she news Of
a disastrous contia grafton which oc-
Cured on Modesty Wednesday after
noon, by which the home Of Mr.. ard
Mrs. John N. Welton was completely
destroyed with all its contents. Mr..
Welton and his wife We're in Anaconda
at the time of the disaster and did not
know of it until advised by telegraph
from here to-day.
1t is not positively known how the
fire originated, but from the account
given by Carl, the youngest son of Mr..
Welton, 1t is supposed he may have ac-
cidentally set fire to the building. He
says there We're two gold rings laying
on dresser in one of the rooms which
he in some manner knocked off on the
floor. one of them rolling under the bed.
1t being too dark to see 1t, he struck
match and soon after finding the ring
he left the house. He does not know,
but thinks it may be possible that in
searching for the ring he may have set
fire to counterpane or some other
portion of the bedding which, not motto
ing, he went out and left burning, thus
starting the fire which DESTROYED the
house and everything in it, The house
was a log structure but of substantial
build and the furniture was mostly
new, which, together with new car
pets, an organ and new library which
Mrs. Welton had recently purchased,
makes the loss foot up to within the
neighborhood of $1,000, upon which
there was no insurance. Mr.. and Mrs.
Welton are well and favora bly, known
in Deer Lodge and their sad misfortune
Will be deeply regretted by their many
friends here.
