Ancient Chains.

In an interesting article ON the sub
lect of chains an English writer points
TO the fact that notwithstanding the
frequent mention of chain in the Bible
the article is comparatively new The
same author says
Some authorities give the Britons
credit for originating the cable chain
because Julius Caesar is recorded as
having been unable to cut the cables of
the Gaul's vessels as they were made
of iron This may have been u chain in
the present acceptation of the term.
but il is doubtful because the first pat
ent for chainmaking was obtained in
England in 63i by blacksmith named
Philip White The patent was for IA
yenrs and in consideration of it White
had to pay e3 in lawful money yearly

Early French rhent.r~.

The French theatsr owes its origin to
the religious exhibitions given by the
pilgrims ON their return from Palestine
AT these exhibitions the pilgrims gave

SITUATION REGARDED AS GRAVE.

TROOPS TO AID THE SHERIFF-DIs-
TURBANCEs ARE IN THE BLACK BELT"
Atlanta, Aug 26.-One of the first messages
received by Governor Gambler to-day regard
ing the uprising of negroes in Mcintosh County
from Captain ]. II. Devoe, Of Savannah,
commanding the colored militia. who offered his
company to the Governor to assist In quelling
the rioting in Daren. The 1st Regiment, how
ever, had been called out and the negro com
pany was not needed. Colonel Lawton reported
by wire to the Governor that 1t would be I'M
possible to restore peace and order unless the
Delegals were arrested. The Governor answered
that Colonel Lawton was In command, ana
should act as wisdom and discretion suggested.
Messages from Darien, Brunswick Savannah
and many other places came rapidly into the
Executive office, and some of them brought
alarming reports
THE situation in Mcintosh County is ex-
tremey critical and grave" said the Governor
"The entire 1st Regiment, composed OF seven
companies. is on the scene. and have ordered
Companies and Of the 18th Regiment TO re-
port TO their armories and hold themselves III
readiness for call from Colonel Lawton.
THE law does not provide that militia can
make arrests" continued the Governor, but the
troops will back up the Sheriff. who is sur
rounded by large posse and will see that ne
has all the assistance needed"
The Governor received message from Colohel
Lawton asking that tents be shipped to the sol
diers who are now in the western part or NC
Intosh County. The tents will be sent from Ha-
Vana, and the soldiers Will be made as comfort
able possible.
One report was received in the course of the
day that not less than one thousand negroes
were under arms in the swamps, and that they
were In a position to sustain themselves for
some time. Another message said that several
hundred citizens, acting upon their own respon-
sibility left Brunswick this morning and were
on the way to the scene of the crime.
The section of Georgia comprising Mcintosh
and Liberty counties. where the outbreak has
occurred is the BLACK Be,t' of the State. The
negroes there number five to every white inhabi-
tant It is recognized as one OF the most thickly
inhabited negro sections in the South and there
are many towns and villages in which no white
families live.
The land, which Is owned largely by white
people is tenanted by negroes. Some OF the best
farms are owned by the negroes themselves.
1t is known among them that should a prolonged
difficulty with the whites occur the blacks would
have sufficient food TO sustain them supplied
from the farms either by the owners or tenants
The Okeefenokee swamp in portion of which
the negroes hid. is probably the largest in the
United States being In many parts absolutely
impenetrable and unexplored. IT Is low marsny
land fed by the sea water and covered with a
heavy growth of vines, tough grasses and other
semi-tropical plants.

Rennes Aug 28-Amd the tedious demon

alton of Captain Freystaetter with General
Mercier and Colonel Maurel, although 1t did not
last ten minutes. burst like bolt from the
blue. shedding food OF light on the whole trial
It was altogether the most dramatic situation
which has yet occurred here.
Freystaetter is a tall. soldierly man. with an
honest penetrating glance and clear sonorous
voice. He stood on the witness stand side by
side with Maurel, who was visibly embar-
rassed by his presence, and who said hesitat-
ingly:
1T is true that only read one document Of
the secret dossier brought by Du Patty de Clam
to the court martial judges In 1894. But
felt fatigued passed them to other members
of the court
And l." interrupted Freystaetter. "affirm that
Colonel Maurel not only read all the secret
documents, but also commented on them to
members Of the court"
This caused stupefaction in the auditorium
which was heightened by Maurers suddenly
turning pale and mutterng unintelligible words
Mercier spraHg to his assistance, saying:
Il heard Captain Freystaetter alude to the
Robin projectile as having been the subject Of

A THUNDERBOLT AT RENNES.
MERCLER AND MAUREL COMPOUNDED BY CAPTAIN FREY
STAETTER.

rpY CABLE TO TIE rRIf uNE.l !

The memorandum concerning the Robin pro-
jectile was not drawn up until 1897 or 1898. con-
sequently Captain Freystaetter is detected In.
iagrante delictu OF lying"
Freystaetter, without losing temper, retorted
that It was a projecte. not the Robin projec-
tile. that Maurel commented upon at the 1894
court martial.
Mercier's bold diversion thus f-iled. and II was
pitiable to see his confusion and collapse when
In absolute contradiction 10 his famous testi-
mony Of August ~ Freystaetter declared with
every evidence OF truth and without Maurel
daring to ganssy him. that the false translation
Of Panizzardfs dispatch was actually communi-
Gated TO the judges OF the 1894 court martial.
This is astounding for it is established
that Mercier not only caused this false Panz-
zardi dispatch to be secretly communicated to
the 1894 court martial but It is the same falsi-
fed dispatch criyninally retained by Du Patty de
Clam that Mercer on August 3. 1899. caused to
be placed by General Chanoine. delegate OF
General De Gallifet, the Minister of War. in the
secret dossier and surreptitiousy communicated
TO the Rennes court martial.
This seems to be the end OF Mercier. who can
never reinstate himself In the eyes Of an army
which likes neither forgeries nor lies.
