RENNES DREYFUS DAY.

weIghty Evidence For Dreyfus.
Rennes, Sept yesterday was
very satisfactory day for Dreyfus. Tho
Bereaupaire witness, Germain, who
was to prove that Dreyfus attended the
Alsatian maneuvers, found his state
ments denied by reputable witness,
while German himself, 1t was proved,
underwent two convictions for swind-
ling. This was the only testimony
against Dreyfus, the remainder Of the
dispositions being in his favor, several
Of them being very weighty, as in the
case Of Captain Carvalho, General Sc
bert and Major Hartmann, their EVIL
dence going to show that particulars
of the firing manual of the "12o gun"
and hydo-pneumatic brake were almost
matters Of common knowledge among
the officers, and that the contention
that Dreyfus, from his special position
on the staff and peculiar movements,
could be acquainted with them has no
solid basis. This was the sum of yes
terday's proceedings, which were not
marked by any unusual incident, the
Roget-Brayere episode, in which Cen
eral Roget clearly gave himself away,
being the only matter which attracted
special attention.
M. Bertillon was severely snubbed
by the presiding officer when he wished
to reply to General Sebert, who had
condemned his system as fantastic.
AS soon as General Sebert had fin
ished his testimony M. Bertillon beunc-
ed up and asked to be allowed to speak,
but Colonel Jouaust quickly turned to
the usher and said: Bring in the next
witness" M. Bertillon, extremely an
noyed, returned to his seat.
M. Godfrey Cavaignac, former min
lister of war. returned to Rennes last
evening. There is much speculation
respecting the motive for his reap
pearance here. The general conjecture
is that it implies fresh shutting Of
the cards of the prosecution. Symp-
toms of dependency have manifested
themselves in Dreyfusard circles dur
ing the last few DAYS

/ In Two Terrible Accidents. ~
TWELVE VICTIMS IN p1TTsBuRe.

Fire Added to the Horror Of the Scene
at the Republic Iron works-In .
{ Michigan Fatality One OF the VIC
Tins wss Decapitated.
Pittsburg, Sept. "A boiler explo-
sion at the Republic iron works. on
South Twenty -fourth street. shortly
before daylight yesterday, killed five
men and seriously injured seven 9TH
ers. A fire which broke out following
the explosion added to the horror. The
mill was partly wrecked and the entire
plant was compelled to close down.
The killed and injured are: David
Matthews, married; Thomas Beavens,
married; William Thomas. married;
John Warminski and an unknown
man, who was crushed almost beyond
recognition.
The explosion occurred Just as one
force was leaving and another coming
on duty, SO that there were only few
men in the mill at the time. II 1t had
happened half hour later the list of
dead and injured would have been
appalling. 1t occurred in the 14-incn
department, and the conclusion was
terrific. Buildings were shaken mile
away, and dust filled the air for two
or three blocks. 1t entered open win
dows and nearly suffocated persons
who were aroused by the roar and the
shock.
Immediately following the explosion
the wreckage took fire, and this added
to the difficulties encountered in res
cuing the burned and mutilated vic
Tins. A fire alarm was quickly sound
ed, and in short time the flames
were under control, after which the
firemen were employed in searching
the ruins for the dead and injured.
The first two bodies taken out were
identified as those of Beavens and Mat
thews. TIE bodies were lying against
their wrecked furnace. The men had
been knocked down by the flying
bricks, and were roasted to death by
the heat of their own furnace. The
others were found soon after and sent
to the morgue The injured were re-
moved to the South Side hospital,
where they received prompt attention.

his companions now besieged in the

while expressing his sense of the value

stylish landau they had concealed legs
of mutton land other edibles beneath
flowers, and they pretended to be
dying with curiosity to see the Grand
Occident, the name by which the build
ing is known. The police, however,
were suspicious, especially with ref
erence to garland two yards long,
which proved to hide loaf of bread.
The dodge failed.
The police discovered and stopped

through which food supplies had been
conveyed to the beleaguered anti

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Astounding Feature Is the Mag
nitude of the Demand.

nitnde of the Demand.
New York, Sept. 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The astounding feature is the magni-
tude of demand, notwithstandingprice
which would ordinarily check it. In
products directly consumed by indi-
viduals the larger employment and
better wages of the working force give
explanation. Efforts to meet the de-
mand call for more stores, manufac-
turing works and machinery and ia
cilities for transportation, as If every
mans wages were in part diverted to
build up the nations machinery of
manufacturing and distribution. The
occasion promises quick profits, the
building is largely for the future, and
it goes on in spite of unusual prices.
Bradstreet's review says: With an
exceptionally heavy business already
booked for the latter portion of the
year, the mercantile community faces
the trade situation with confidence,
testified to by the very generally firm
prices and with quotations in number
of lines showing further marked adj
vanCes. The most conspicuous eXcep-
ton to this Is found in cereals, which
are weak and declining. Lower prices
for wheat, corn and oats pointed to
speculative liquidation of tired holders.
who. with confidence in the future Of
prices, have weakened under unsatis-
factory foreign demand, larger receipts
and the near approach of expected
heavier crop movement.

M A. G. Dun & Co. says of trade:
4 August failures were smaller in
number than for any other month
id six years, excepting May and
July of this year. 1thappened that
those months were exceptionally
free from the large failures that
come with little dependence on the
existing state of business. Inmanu-
features, August failures were the
smallest in any month excepting
May Of this year and neither in that
branch nor in trading was there
sign Of any weakness. In all i'm
portant branches of both, clothing
stores possibly excepted, the alb
sence Of large failures was partic-
ularly significant. But if failures
are few, the volume of solvent busl-
ness is heavy with August clear
ings, "a per cent. larger than last
year and 55.4 per cent larger than
in 1892.
The astonishing feature is the
magnitude Of demand, notwithstand-
ing prices which would ordinarily
check it. The occasion promises
quick profits; the building up is
largely for the future and 1t goes
on in spite Of unusual prices.
Demand exceeds the supply for
