HIS ESCAPE MIRACULOUS.
The Side Of Missouri Pacific Cab Torn
to Pieces by a Broken Connecting
Rod-Engineer Uniniured.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 5.-The con-
Meeting rod between the drive-wheels
on the right side of a Missouri Pacific
locomotive broke while the train was
running about % miles an hour, but
the engineer was not killed. The acct
dent occurred just before the train
which left Kansas City for the north
had reached Conner, t5 miles
north of town. The train was
slowing for the station when the con-
Meeting rod on the right side of the en-
CINE snapped at the forward wheel.
The heavy bar of steel went down,
striking between ties and throwing up
mass of earth, and then tore on
through the side of the cab where the
engineer was sitting, cutting every
thing away before it as it swung
through the cab and down again.
Usually, in an accident of this sort the
man ut the side of the cab is killed.
The whirling rod threw box and engi-
neer back into the tender and Speck
escaped without scratch. If the
broken rod had struck tie the engine
would have been lifted from the track

'DREYF()S IS \ FREEMAS)N
For That Reason, It Is Said, His
Chances of Acquittal by Catholic.
Judges Are Very Slight.
COUNSEL LAB0Ri IS ON THE wARPATH.
He Says He VIII Make Application Through
Foreign Channels to Ascertain If the
Documents Mentioned In the Bordereau
Were Delivered to a Foreign Power,
and If So, by Whom.

Rennes, Sept. 5.-The anti-Dreyfus
press of Paris seem to think they struck
a vital blow with the defense when
they printed proofs that Dreyfus is a
freemason. This charge has frequent
! ~ been made by the Catholic press,
which is equally bitter against Drey-
fus and the masons; but up to now
proof has been lacking. Yesterday,
however, some one furnished La Patrie
with a copy of the official report of the
Supreme Masonic Council of France for
1898, wherein Dreyfus appears as hav-
ing taken the thirty-second degree.
The idea is that this will influence the
Catholic judges, two at least of whom
are very active partisans of their faith.
There is no doubt that this is more or
less true.
The fifth week of the Dreyfus trial
began to-day with the largest attend
ance yet seen in the Lycee. The in
terest in the trial grows as the denoue-
ment approaches. Six to ten days is
given as the outside limit for the
further duration of the trial. The ses-
sion opened very Interestingly with the
appearance of the witness, NJ. Ger
nuschi. His letter to Col. Jouaust of
fering his testimony stated that, hav-
ing been mixed up in political troubles
in Austria-Hungary, he has been
obliged to seek refuge in France, where
he had friend who was a high official
of the foreign office of a central Euro
pean power. This friend, the witness
said, told him that certain foreign
agents in Franco denounce him, the
first name mentioned being that of
Dreyfus. Another foreign officer, u
foreign general of staff. similarly
warned him. One day, the witness
said, when he was visiting the latter
he saw him take from his pocket u
vo1uminous packet containing military
documents. The officer said that in
France one could buy anything, adding:
''What is the good Of Jews if you don't
use them?''
Being questioned if he had asked the
name of the traitor in this case, NJ.
Cernuschi replied: mo; because the
officer had already said Dreyfus was
his informant
NJ. Labor then arose and announced
that since the prosecution had sum-
moned the aid of foreigners, he in
tended to make formal application
to have complete steps taken through
foreign channels to ascertain wheth-
er the documents mentioned in the
bordereau were delivered to a foreign
power, and if SO, by whom. This an
nouncement, which, if Col. Jouaust
consents to the application, will have
most important consequences. The
! words of M. Labori created a deep inn
preston, as they made it evident that
counsel for the defense was on the
| warpath to-day.

London, Sept. 5.-The johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail, who
paints a gloomy and pitiable picture of
the condition of things there, says: 1t
is almost case of absolute exodus and
panic Business is paralyzed, the prices
of food stuffs are rapidly rising. half
the houses are empty and the others
are tenanted by people who do not pay
rent, the landlords being glad enough
to have them as occupants in order to
insure some sort of protection to the
property. The tension has reached
the swapping point Bankruptcy and
starvation are staring people in the
face. Another fortnight of suspense
will result in a complete commercial
collapse. The banks are thronged
with people anxious to withdraw their
gold and the railways are besieged by
those who wish to get away.
