DANGERS OF MATCH MAKING.
Further Reports on the Use of the Indispen-
sable Yellow ulphur.

Phosphorus friction matches have been made
for eixty-siN years and no satisfactory substi-
tute for the yellow m product which is
the igniting agency has been discovered.
Some Governments discourage their manu-
facture on account OF tho danger to which the
Persons making them are exposed Of contract
ing necrosis. or modification OF the lower Jaw.
In Russia the tax on the manufacture Of vel
low phosphorus matches is so high that they
are being displaced by safety matches. Hol-
land and Belgium limit the use OF the chemi-
cal. Most consumers. however. want a match
that may be ignited anywhere. and yellow
phosphorus is the best means OF producing
this result yet known. 1t was hoped when
red phosphorus was first produced in lS4J
that his innuNious substance would take the
place OF the poisonous clement. but it does not
fill the bill. though used with satisfactory, re-
suits in the making OF safety matches.
The evils resulting from the use of yellow
phosphorus in match factories have been rar-
iicularly prevalent in Great Britain. where the

THE DREYPUS TRIAL
The Case Which Is Now the Topic
Of Greatest Interest in

DECLARES HIS INNOCENCE
The Judge Who Examined the Prisoner
Seemed to Be Severe and to Be Prose-
cutor-Part Of the Hearing Be-
hind Closed Doors.

Rennes, August 7.-Proceedings in the
court martial before which Captain

ing. The crowd, which numbered few
hundred, was kept back by gendarmes

Blanche the white LADY,, who never alb
sented herself from any previous pro-
ceedings connected with the Dreyfus af-
fair. All actors in the drama are known
to her. She is pronounced Dreyfusard,
and very rich.
Colonel Jouaust began the examina-
tion of Dreyfus by saying: ut results
from documents just read that you are
accused of having brought about ma
chinations or held relations with a for
eign power, or it's agents, in order to
ments to be used in hostlities or in war
against France. | notify you that you
will be allowed to state during the
course of these proceedings anything
that appears to you to be useful for
your defense"
Dreyfus replied, II am Innocent" in
voice which quivered with emotion.
The agonized manner in which he re-
peated protestations of innocence must
have evoked sympathy even from his
most inveterate enemies. Colonel Jou-
aust submitted Dreyfus to rigorous
examination, more in the style of a
prosecuting court than judge.
The court adjourned, after deciding
to sit behind closed doors tomorrow,
and as many following days as neces-
sary for an examination of the secret
doSsier.
The official list of the members of the
court-martial is as follows: President,

eer corps; Lieutenant Colonel Brongni.

Only two passengers escaped unharmed.
After the car fell, a heavy motor
crashed into it. Most of those killed
had their skulls crushed. The road was
opened for traffic last Thursday.
The cause of the accident is the topic
of conversation to-day. Engineer W.
w. Starr, who superintended the build
ing of the bridge, to-day said the bridge
was perfectly safe in every respect, in
his opinion, after thorough examina-
ton. The motorman became bewildered
as the car commenced to travel fast
down the incline, and finding himself in
a dangerous situation, lost his head and
turned the current on instead of re-
ducing it.
