APPEALS TO THE GOVERNOR
NEW BRITAIN MIN WHOSE LIFE Is
TITREATENED.
Desires Protection-Recenti AN At
tempt Was Made to Assassinate Him
by Means of an Internal Machine
Threatening Letters Sent Him by an
Unknown Person.

New Britain. July 9.-John A. Rich,
whose life was attempted several days
ago by an Internal machine that was
placed on his doorstep, has appealed to
the governor for protection, and an in
spector is to be sent from Washington
to endeaVor to nd out who is mailing
the threatening letters to Mr.. Rich.
They are mailed in this city. Mr.. Rich
had received several threatening letters
before the attempt upon his life by the
Internal machine, and as the latter fall
ed to do the intended work the letters
have been resumed. One received Sat
urday is the most scurrilously abusive
and threatening of any yet sent. The
writer says that death by hanging
would be much more preferable than
the way in which Rich will meet his
end, and the lives of the wife and
daughter are also threatened. Mr.. Rich
has become so greatly alarmed that he
has sent his wife and daughter out of
town and he himself in in a condition
bordering on nervous prostration from
dread at the threats of his unknown
foe. Mr.. Rich is a mechanic and has
always been considered eminently re-
spectacle, and why he should be thus
prosecuted is mystery.

with stones and bricks demolished the
windows of every car that passed them.
The police were powerless to quell the
mob and the patrol wagon was received
with a volley of stones The mayor
read the riot act, but without effect, and
then the regular regiments from Stanley
barracks were ordered out. Four COM
panies of infantry and one of cavalry
are now on the way from nearby towns
to reinforce the regulars. When they
arrive the city will be thoroughly under
military control. Everything is quiet
to-day, as the street cars do not run on
Sunday, but the trouble is expected to-
morrow.

THE DREYFUS AFFAIR.
Another French Official Dismtssed-He @
TOrtured Dreyfus.

Paris, July 9.-M Deniel. governor of
the lies du Salut and administrator of
the penal settlement on the lie du Dia-
BILE, where Captain Dreyfus was impris-
oned, has been removed and will be sue
ceeded by M. La Soucan.
M. Deniel was responsible for much of
the punishment meted out to the pris-
oner in the hope of compelling him to
declare himself guilty.
Scandalous reports are in circulation
in connection with the death here yes
terday Of Signor c. Ressman, formerly
Italian ambassador to France. 1t is al
legged that while he was lying at the
point of death, three persons, including
an official of the italian embassy rifed
his rooms and took away a quantity of
papers. The anti-Semite journals con-
meet the story with the Dreyfus affair.
1t appears that about fortnight ago
Signor Ressman had an immense guam
tity of documents destroyed, declaring
that if they were left they might 'harm
various people, 1t is also suggested
that the search may have been instigat-
ed by Signor Crispi, the former Italian
prime minister, who practically dismiss
bassy in Paris in 1895 because the diplo-
mat had failed to make the French press
favorable to the Crlspi government.
