 General Mercier denied Major Freystae- ters declaration in reference to the Panfz- zardi document being contained in the dos- sier. "It Is a He!' he said. Tremendous sensation)
 Major Freystaeter was undaunted, and replied firmly, looking Colonel Jouaust straight in the face:
 "I swear that what have said Is true; and," Freystaeter added, 'I not only re- member the dispatch, but have a vivid recollection of the fact that the first words were; Dreyfus Is arrested. Emissary This emphatic declaration increased the sensation.
 Then 1t was that M Labori saw his open ing force upon Colonel Jouaust the neces- sty of bringing Du Paty de Clam into court, as in the face of contradictory dec iarations of General Mercier and Captain Freystaeter the evidence of Paty de Clam would alone decide the matter, especially in view of the fact that General Mercier had said in his deposition that Du Paty de Clam compiled the dossier, including the explanations sent with the documents.
 Mercier Shifted Ground
 When M. Labori tackled him, however, Mercier saw the trap and immediately shifted his ground, declaring that he had made mistake in saying that Du Paty de Clam compiled the dossier. since he had been informed by General Deboisdeffre that the late Colonel Sandherr compiled it.
 M. Labori was hotly indignant at Gen. eral Mercier's equivocation, and asked Col onel Jouaust again and again to have spe- cial doctors make an official examination of Colonel Du Paty de Clam to see if he was really incapable of giving evidence. But the president of the court refused, wfereupon M, Laori cried: Colonel Sand herr is dead; Colonel Henry is dead and Colonel Du Paty de Clam won't come here.

Use for Old watches.

New York Tribune; Almost every
household has q few old gold and sill
yer watches tucked away in obscure
bureau drawers. The works are us-
ually worthless, and the size OF the
old-fashloned tlmepleces make them
undesirable, even II they could be put
In order. Here Is a suggestion for
utilizing the cases, which are often
quaint and beautiful: Take out tho
works, have a jeweler cut off the
thumbplece and fill in the hole. Then
make a round velvet or satin plncush-
ion to match the colors OF the bed
room, and fit 1t carefully into the met
al case. A fat Dutch watch engraved
with windmllls, transformed into a
blue silk cushion, makes most ef-
fective addition to a delft boudoir.

There have been various stories
written about the stealing Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martlnsburg, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living In Ohio. Recently, an Of
ticial Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries OF old em-
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men Of Genl Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and ohios equipment at
Martinsburg, They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by tho fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived In Martlnsburg on August 1S,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged In removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win
chester or Strasburg, land there are
some historians who disagree on this
point 90 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used In the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg Is extremely hilly and the
work of getting the engines over tho
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. It has been cur
rently reported In late years that one
Of the locomotives was tho Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that tlmo
was numbered n, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class OF engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
glnes, There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No 81.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation.
