WRECKED OFF OUR COAST.

Norfolk, Va, August 16.-Local
Weather Observer Gray received a dis

stating that the three-masted schooner

Der laden. from Savannah TO Philadel-

on the North Carolina coast today. The
schooner had been in distress nearly all
day, and went to pieces toward night.
A life-saving crew from the Gull Shoals
life-saving station was sent out to res
cue the schooner's crew, but of the
eight men only three were saved. 1t
is not known whether or not Captain
VESSEL is among he Eve lost.

NEGROES COMMITTED ALL
HIGHLY RESPECTED WHITE
WOMEN THE VICTIMS.
TdREE SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
If Either is Identified as the Right Man Lynch
ing May Follow. One Negr1 is
su pected of All the
Crimes.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 16.- Five bru-
tai assaults by negro man on white
women have occurred in Little Rock in
the past twenty-four hours. 1t is gener-
ally believed that all the crimes were
committed by the same negro, but three
suspects have been arrested and if the
right man can be positively identified he
may receive summary punishment The
victims Of the assaults are all highly
respected white women of this city.
Their names are:
Mrs. Belle Aiken, 2114 Chester street
Mrs. Milton Young, 2401 State street.
Mrs. Kennedy, Jones and 18th street.
Miss Emma Longcoy, 1920 Booker
street. and a young woman at Cross and
Goth streets.
All the assaults occurred in the sub
urbs. The first was that of Mrs Aiken,
which occurred yesterday after
noon. As Mrs. Aiken was
passing by Dist and High streets
the negro seized her and dragged her to
the woods. She resisted and cried for
help. A passerby frightened the negro
away after he had severely beaten his
victim. Officers at once began search
for the assailant but failed to find him.
At nine O'Clock this morning. a few
blocks from the scene of the first crime,
Mrs. Young was assaulted in almost the
same manner. The negro knocked her
down with such force that rib was
broken, causing interml injuries of Il
serious nature. He choked and beat her
about the head and on the side, inhicting
very serious injuries. The negro finally
seized her purse and disappeared in the
woods. Mrs. Young, who is a frail wo-
man. is in a precarious condition from
her wounds and the shock. Her clothing
was torn almost entirely off in the strug-
gle.
An hour later Mrs. Kennedy was at
tackled at her home near West End
Park. She was knocked down, Inaten
and choked Her child ran for assist
ance and the negro fled. Mrs. Kenne-
dy's injuries are very painful.
About II o'clock Emma Iongcoy, the
1S-ycar-old daughter of grocer was at
tackled and beaten by negro half a
dozen blocks from West End Park. She
escaped from her assailant. City and
county officers, together with a large
number of citizens were by this time
securing the vicinity for the negro. The
greatest excitement prevails and the
anger of the citizens in the neighborhood
was thoroughly aroused.
The fifth assault occurred early this
morning ON Il well known young woman
at Twentieth and Gross streets. She
was likewise knocked down and badly
beaten. Her face was swollen and dis
col0red from the effect of the blows
These outrages were brought to the
attention of Governor Jones who at once
offered a reward of $100 each for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty part
les. Judging from the temper of public
sentiment, the officers will find it diff
cult to protect their prisoner should the
right man be captured.

describing the dread the prisoner ex-
pressed to the doctors when he feared ne
was losing his reason caused an immense
impression Tears were even seen to
glisten in the eyes of General Billot, the
former Minister of War.
At the conclusion of the report Nj. Le-
bon asked leave to explain. He said:
Il do not dispute the accuracy of the
report, but it is partial. Reference has
been most carefully made to the precari-
Gus health of the prisoner. But the doc
tor never made communication to me
on the subject. do not hesitate to say
that if he had done so, / would have
given orders to have the prisoner treated
as invalids should be treated. 1t is with
deliberate intent that | have been treat
cd as an executioner."
Colonel Jouaust, turning to Dreyfus,
then remarked:
'Have you anything to say in regard
to this deposition?
Then the prisoner said:
mo, my Colonel, am here to defend
my honor. do not wish to speak here
of the atrocious suffering. physical and
moral, which for FIVE years, /, a French
MAN and innocent man, was subjected
to ON the Isle du Diable"
The remarks of Dreyfus caused intense
excitement in court.
The prisoner uttered the words i'm n
loud voice and with tremendous energy,
which created profound sensation.
lhe audience had not recovered from
the emotion caused by this scene when
Madame Henry, in deep mourning, APP
peared i'll court and entered the witness
box amid profound silence.
Her testimony related to the visits Of
EsterhaZy to her husband and Colonel
Henry's warnings to her to say nothing
of certain hazardous work on which he
was engaged, the nature of which she
was ignorant.
Referring to the Henry forgery,
Madame Henry said:
You know his sentiments, gentlemen.
He committed forgery on account of Colo
mel Picquart's proceedings and it was
in order to save the army, compromised
by the dishonesty of its enemies PRO
found sensation.l
General Roget followed with a long
and tiresome argument against the posi-
bility of Esterhazy's having had any con-
nection with the bordereall.
General Roget, while testifying, CON
stantly turned towards the prisoner TO
see the impression made by his deposition
which was, virtually, a speech for the
prosecution.
The General dealt on the seizure of pa
pers at the home of Madame Pays on
which NJ. Bertulus largely founded his
conviction of the glrilt Of Henry, owing to
the mention in them of the name of a
spy. Richard at Cuers and Basle.

For some days workmen have been
building new draw to the county
bridge that spans Tar river here. They
tested the draw this morning, running
forward and backward, then closed it
across the arch, when they discovered
that the swinging end hung few inches
too low to rest on the opposite abut-
ment.
Capt. j. T. Smith, who had charge of
the work, took four colored hands with
him and went on the swinging part of
the draw to tighten the iron suspension
rods in order to raise the end to a suffi-
cient height. While tightening these
rods they parted leaving a great strain
on the timbers which broke the draw in
two. A large section of the draw crash
ed into the river, twenty-five feet below,
taking five men with it.
The men were thrown into water ff-
teen feet deep, and two say they struck
bottom.
-Four of them were rescued and found
to be uninjured. One colored workman,
John Worsley, whose home was Rocky
Mount. was drowned The body was
secured two hours after the accident,
it having drifted a hundred yards below
the bridge. The accident caused great
excitement. hundreds of people hurrying
to the scene.
