Threw Stone Through Car window

A dastardly deed was psrpetrated on
Saturday evening as the Wilmington and
Chester trolley car leaving Wilmington
at 145 o'clock, was passing Claymont
Hall, resulting In one of the lady passon-
GERS having her face badly cut with frag-
ments of flying glass. The car was
much crowded and as it neared Claymont
Hall good sized crowd Of white mon
hailed It, and attempted to climb aboard.
Quito numberof them succeeded, but
several were left behud. One of these
evidently chagrined at being loft, hurled
stone with all his might through the
rear window of tho car, smashing the
glass into fragments. The missile passed
close to the head Of baby, which was on
Its mothers knee while the flying glas,
struck the woman:about the face and hoad
inflicting painful wounds.
Conductor McClain, who was on tho for
ward part ofthe car, heard the crash, but
thought 1t had been caused by somebody
Jabbing their elbow through the window,
and the car sped on. The passengers who
witnessed tho act were much angered as
was also Conductor McClaln when he
learned the facts.
An effort will he made to discover the
touSh's identity, and if found he will BIO
severely dealt with.

To Build a Third Vessel,

1t was rumored about the works OF the
Harlan g. Hollngsworth Company this
morning, that the company has secured a
contract to build third vessel for tho
New York and Porto Rico steamship com.
pany. When asked in reference to tie
matter the officials refused to state If there
was any truth In the report. 1t is we'll
known fact that the New York Company
has been in he market for another vessel
to be built on the same lines as the Ponce,
and Us the local firm have all the patterns
OF tho vessel they could build 1t great
deal cheaper than any other company.
The report will probably DO verified in u
few dAys.

PARDON FOR
DREYFUSS.
French Government Today
i Announced That He
Would Be Released.

Paris. Sept. Io.-.Drey-
fus has been pardonei!
The Government of
France today placed itsself
officially upon record by
! announcing that 1t had
agreed to pardon the UNI
fortunate prisoner of
DEVILS Island who was
80 shamefuiIy recondemed
BY the recent courtmartlal
at Rennes. The pardon
has been agreed upon in
principle, and Dreyfus is
now as good as free.
Actual freedom will not
come for several days.
however. and this is by
reason of the fact that a
certain amount of officia-
ism, must ensue before
the pardon can be actu-
tually signedby the Presi-
dent, n. Loubet.
Until this is done, OF
course Dreyfus must re-
main a prisoner at Reanes
The pardon Of Dreyfus is not,
in the ordinary sense Of the term,
regular. The unusual course is a
part of the general policy of am
nesty adopted by the present Gov
eminent and is the logical outcome
Of the incongruous verdict.
By formal condemnation, the
military chiefs ale satisfied, AMI the
pressing reason for their prosecu-
ton is avoided Much of the force
is knocked out of the Dreyius
campaign, and incidentally out OF
foreign criticism A campaign Ter
the rc-trial of man enjoying full
liberty can never evoke much sym
pathy, and the fact Of the mans
second condemnation by the court
martial must to large extent, ex-
culpate MERCER, Gonse, Roget and
the other generals. Thus the lat,
ter will not be prosecuted and all
contemplated proceedings against
them will be abandoned,
The pardon as near as possible
satisfying the great bulk Of moder-
ate opinion in France, only one eX-
tremists on both sides desire to
keep up the fight. Public opinion
seems to have anticipated this re-
suit from the tone OF the verdict,
as excitement in the Dreyfus affair
has Gained down in most re
markablc fashion i'll the last two
wee ks.
1t is freely insinuated also that
extenuating circumStances,o rdInar-
lily an impossible feature in con
demnation for treason, were sug-
gested to the president of the court
martial as making the present re-
suit desirable and so bring the
agitation to close.
The only chance of the agita-
ton being revived is by Clemen-
ceau Yola and their friends. The
Government will try to avoid
second trial of lola.
The health Of Dreyfus is as pre-
carious as ever. He can live only
a very few years. His future resi-
dence is undecided. Opinion seems
to favor the South of France, as a
residence abroad would be inter-
preted as flight, and would give
rise TO manifestation from foreign
ers in his favor which the family
wish to avoid,
