The Increased Value of Land

coatrol of the growth Of crop to the
farmer. bus adds. greatly to the value
Of the farm. In Europe large sums
are expended for irrigation. as much
rs 800 per acre being applied for SUP
plying water. but such land at on-e
hecomes high priced. Near Valencia
land sells At from 500 to 500 per acre.
and ct distance brings 800 per acre.
while l&nd not irrigated is worth
about $50. In the valley Of the Tague
irrigated land Yields ten times as
much as that unirrigate1. In this
c3untry irrigating ditches in the west
bring water from the mountains. but
it is worthy Of consideration to bring
forth some method for use in The cast.

Seventeen Killed and Seventy Three
Wounded at Juvisy.
PARIS, August 1.-THE official in
yestigation into the collision last even
ing at Juvisy, suburb of Paris, on the
southern side, between the Orleans
lines Paris and Nantes train and the
Paris and Lyons Mediterranean train,
show that seventeen persons were
killed and seventy-three injured.
The collision occurred during ter
rife thunder storm, and it is supposed
that the electric current may have been
responsible for the defective signalling.
The first train was a standstlll and
the second came down upon it at the
rate of fifty miles an hour The loco
motive of the latter crashed through
the brake van of the former and teles-
COPIED three passenger carriages. Tee
moving train was not injured.
Heartrending screams and cries for
assistance filled the air, but the pass
engers were so massed in by debris
that they were extricated only after the
greatest difficulty. All three carriages
were crowded with excursionists.

THE DREYFUS TRIAL
Will Commence at Rennes This Morn
ing--.The City Full of Dignitaries
But No Disorder Occurred.

RENNES, August 6.-The town is
extremely animated to-day, but every
where perfect tranquility prevails.
Public interest is concentrated upon
the arrival from Paris of various per-
sonages likely to figure in the trial of
Captain Dreyfus. Among those are
Generals De Boisdeffre, Cons and
Roget, all in multi; NJ. Godefrey Ca
vaignac, former Minister of War, ana
NJ. Casimir-Perier, former President of
France. A large crowd which had
gathered around the railway station,
greeted the generals on alighting from
the train with cries Of "Vive L Armee. -
The revisionist spectators responded
with "NiYe la Republique," but there
was no disturbance. NJ. Casimir- Per-
Ter, who was much fatigued by the long
railroad journey decided to walk to
tbs hotel. hoping that he would not be
recognized, but his identity soon be-
came known and large crowd follow
ed him, as, attired in light summer
suit, he walked slowly along, chatting
with the project of police and the chief
Of the secret police, NJ Viguier, who
met him at the railroad station and
accompanied him to the hotel.
The crowd made no demonstration.
The authorities, however, deemed it
wise to maintain the most stringent
precautions for the safety of the form
er President, and six gendarmes now
patrol the front of the hotel where he
has apartments, while number of de-
tectives watch the entrance hall close
ly and scan all arrivals.
1t is now fixed that the trial shall
commence tomorrow morning. After
the indictment has been read, it is
thought probable that the president Of
the court-martial. Col Jouaust, viii
order the doors closed for the consid-
Grafton of the secret dossier. which
will be presented by Gen. Chamein.
The consideration of the dossier, 1t is
expected, will occupy two days. SO
that the next public session viii prob
ably be on Thursday. although perhaps
not until Friday. The general impress
sion is that the whole proceedings will
occupy al least three weeks.

water, but for only a minute. as then
the cooler heads in the crowd. more
especially among the officers and crew
Of the steamer, asserted themselves and
the work of rescue began.
Eye-witnesses differ in their esti-
mates of the number of people VINO
were carried down when the plank
broke, but it was the vanguard OF the
crowd which was rushing from the train
to the steamer. Those who fell into
the water last were mostly pulled out
by main force, but not few were got
ten out by boats which were lmmedl-
ate4y manned. There was wild excite
ment on the land, for each excurslonlst
was rushing in and among his or her
neighbors in quest of relatives and
friends. In the hurry and hustle OF
alighting from the train, husbands and
wives, parents and children had become
separated and separated at that moment
meant
RT-BREAKING SUSPENSE.
Mrs. Estey, one of the victims. was
one of those who, while only apart
from her husband few feet. lost her
life, while Mr.. Estey was saved. al
though thrown into the water.
In the course of the next half hour
several bodies were recovered from the
water and these were taken to nearby
freight house and laid out awaiting
Identification. 1t was gruesome sight
and pitiful one as identifications were
made.
The steamer Cymbria came from Bar
Harbor with four physicians and spe-
cial train was hurried from Bangor
with physicians and nurses. President
Wilson, of the Maine Central Railroad,
was near at hand when the disaster oc-
Cured and he gave orders to spare no
exertion in relieving the distress. Many
persons have been injured in the strug-
gle on the edge of the wharf and in
the water, and such of these as
NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
were taken to the high bluffs near the
station and waited upon by the physl-
clans.
The sufferers from injuries will not
be as numerous as those who suffered
from shock and exposure due to the i'm
mersion in the water. Of these several
were reported tonight to be in a cri-
teal state.
Miss Sweeney, or Bangor, was taken
to Hotel Bluffs, suffering from pneu-
monia; George Spaulding, of Orono, is
also at the Bluffs and may not re-
cover; Mrs. George Brooks, of ELS
worth, will recover, although her case
was once pronounced hopeless. After
the bodies in the freight house had
been identified the coroner gave permits
sion TO have them removed and rela-
tives and friends soon after took each
in charge and returned to their respec-
tive homes.
