OVER A BABE.

There was a lively time in Bellaire
about Z o'clock last evening and for a
While the citizens who witnessed the
crowd and confusion about the city
building were puzzled to know whether
the town was on fire or circus had
just arrived. An investigation devel-
oped kidnapping affair in which Chdl.
Wright, well-known Martins Ferry
character, and the child were star per
formers.
1t appears since the death of Wright's
wife the babe has been kept by the
grandparents, john Baxter and wife an
aged couple who reside in Second ward,
Bellaire. Wright had been trying for
some time to get possession of the child
and last evening visited the Baxter
home on pretense of paying friendly
visit. AT q moment when the old folks
were out he grabbed the child UP and
started toward the street ear tracks.
The old people were frantic when they
discovered their loss and started in
pursuit. They overlook Wright near
the city building, but the officers upon
investigation concluded they had no
authority TO adiudicate the issue and
let Wright go. The fellow still carry

the aged Bakers followed him. The
quarrel was continued in a somewhat
subdued manner all the way up TO
Bridgeport, where it was again renew

YESTERDAYS SESSION.

RENNES, August 19.-The stage
was occupied to-day successfully by
three enemies OF Dreyfus, Major Cuig-
net, Gen. De Boisdeffre and Gen.
Gonse, who, from $50 until II a. m. +,
mainly devoted themselves to reiter-
ating what they had previously said
in evidence against the prisoner, who
followed them with characteristic COM
posture; but when the moment came for
him to reply the prisoner delivered one
of those brief utterances of indignation
which have had such powerful effect
upon his hearers.

CONFLICTING OPINIONS.

RENNES, August 19.-Opinions differ
as to what the Judgment of the Drey-
fus tribunal will be. Townspeople who
l-aow well Gen. German and Gen.
Lucas, of this army corps, think the
doaision will be against the accused.
On the other hand at the Hotel Modere,
which is the great conversational news
centre, the idea prevails of reluctant
Judgment in his favor The tribunal
ceT 1ainly shares the feelings of the mil
itary witnesses, but there are signs of
coming around. l noticed member of
the courtmartial watching Dreyfus to-
day with an expression Of compassion
ate interest. Then again Col Jouaust,
the president did not rebuke him for
apostrophizing Captain Cuignet, who
led the procession of military witnesses
to-day, nor order him as he was wont
to do, not to speak until he was ad-
dressed. Maitre Demange is more
hopeful, although acknowledging the
preverse use the Natfonalists make of
the Schneider and Penizzardi kilograms
to infame patriotic sentiment. That
party now demands the full publica
ton of the secret dossier so as to heap
disgrace on the military attaches and
the illustrious German prince involved,
a prince who lived long in Paris.
| should not be surprised at tie.
This would enable the prisoner to leave
the court free man, but would show
that half the judges believed him
guilty. The Schneider letter or tele
gram is resented by all but the Drey
fusites as an attempt to cast odium on
the French army. 1t ought to benefit
the prisoner but does not. Military
men say it would set the face of the
courtmartial harder against him.
The majority seem to adopt Captain
Cuignets opinion. 1t is thought,
though not expressed, thus: That the
military attaches have behaved abom-
inably in the Dreyfus affair; that the
French government is in possession Of
numerous specimens of Schneider's
handwriting; that the document on
which Gen. MERCER relied will bear
every test and that it has been accepted
by every minister of war since 1894
and been compared with letters writ
ten to six of them by Col. Schneider.
Captain Cuignet is a fair, sandy
haired man, with big red moustache
and a resonant metallic voice, good for
command. To-day his task was to de-
stroy the effect of the questions Of
Maitre Demange and to set up again the
demolished theory of Gen. MERCER.
Cuignet was in the fourth bureau OF
the general staff when Dreyfus was
in another bureau there, but not under
his orders They were both engaged in
calculating what work invasion would
throw on the railways, but were en-
gagged on different lines.
Dreyfus, he said, constantly came to
him for information, which he had no
cause to do. Cuignet kept refusing. I'M

Methods Of Collecting Taxes Instituted
 by an Official of San Francisco.
 They are going to collect the tax, tae whole tax, and nothing less than the tax out in California. It seems that there have resided in the city of ups and downs many of tat ubiquitous class of citizens who believe it cheaper to lie than to pay taxes. Salaries, 1t is rumored, were falling behind; his honor needed euspidors in his office. The methods adopted by the new as- sessof, elected on reform platform of his own making, whose name, cur iously enough, is Dodge, savers pung- ently of the ancient inquisition. The way the thing has been done in most cities is for the deputy collector to call and leave a blank This re- ceiYing no attention beyond few minor items, such as "steinway piano, twenty-five dolls" household goods, furniture, chattels, etc, one hundred dolls3 the deputy humbly pockets what he knows to be lie and goes his way; the result being that the very signer of such a libel is obliged for another year to stumble over the pave ments he has since childhood decried, and stand up for more months in the street cars, whose overloaded condi- ton he has in print so violently exc crated. These unmethods are de- elared by Dodge archaic. The new way is to force ones way into a house and estimate the value of the goods from the standpoint of an outsider. The procedure is naturally meeting with much opposition even by those who voted for reform and Mr. Dodge. The latter gentleman, however, is seemingly careless of a reelection and pursues the even tenor of his way all undisturbed The eonstitutionality of the case is being contested in the San Francisco courts.

 Dublin Saturday Herald: A detect i've on duty at the Louvre had his at tention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of sev- en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- creted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- dlately marched off to the police com missary. That functionary found to his amazement that the troup con- sisted of grandmother, three of her daughters and three granddaughters in comfortable circumstances. me old lady's husband and the husbands of her three daughters were immediately sent for (the youngest ladies of this interesting family are still unmarried) and declared themselves totally ignor- ant of the acts of their wives. who they said made frequent trips to Paris from their home in the suburbs. and often brought home many pretty things; but they assured the commits sary that they (the husbands) had no notion that these had been come by otherwise than by the usual method of purchase.

Inspired by the First Sight Of a
 Bicycle.
 A Baptist missionary once sent home an account of a prayer offered by Wang Cheng Sui on the occasion Of the visit of two Americans who were on tour around the world on bfey- cles. After the bicyclists had ridden to the mission station Wang prayed: We thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa- ther, that our eyes have this day seen the real pattern of the 'self-going cart of the ancients. What mysterious wis dom is Thine! How willing Thou art to impart knowledge to men! But our sins hinder. Thy reyelationsl How stupid have we become through sery- Ing Satan so longi Many years have we lived, and yet today for the first time we have seen this marvel of Thy skill, which has enabled Thy servants in the West to understand. Forgive our sins. Restore us to Thy favor. Communicate to us, also Thy mys- teries, and let us share in the wonder ful inventions by which Thou dost make Thy name glorious amongst those who serve Thee. Let us be in. trusted with Thy secrets, and possess the power of the ancients; so with all our countrymen come to know that we have found the right path. and are servants of the true God" The mis- sionary thinks is very likely that such prayer will provoke a smile, but he bids us believe that Wang was in red hot earnest, and that he simply felt that he had witnessed a miracle anu was giving God the glory.
