Prisoners Conduct Impresses Various
Observers in Different Manners.


Rennes, Aug. Am evening news
paper here today caused a sensation
by including among the supplementary
witnesses whom Col. Jouaust an
nounced he intends personally to sum
mon, the name of De Muller, officially
described as a merchant of Lille, but
whom the paper characterizes as a
witness from Potsdam, asserting that
he will testify concerning an incident
which occurred in Emperor William S
cabinet. 1t is also said there is to be
a witness named Wilton, merchant,
who, according to the same paper, was
the witness to whom Col. Jouaust re-
ferred as having seen Dreyfus convers-
ing with German officers during his
stay in Alsace, Everything was quiet
throughout Tours this evening.
While the papers today scarcely had
Eime to comment on the Dreyfus court
martial they all endeavored to draw
conclusions from the description of the
personal appearance of the prisoner
at the trial. The nationalist papers de-
clared Dreyfus appeared embarrassed
while the Journal des Debats said:
Neither his face nor his voice evoked
sympathy. His voice sounds false and
his protestations of innocence are not
convincing"
lie Temps, on the other hand, says:
He replied in a virile tone of assur-
ance, with a clearness and conscious
ness which carried conviction"
LIE Figaro correspondent at Rennes
SAID: 'Dreyfus leaves nothing re-
manning Of the accusations His whole
attitude proclaimed his innocence"

head. Beside her on the floor lay a
bloody hatchet. The fiat was in perfect
order, and Mrs. Kronman's jewelry
valued at several thousand dollars, had
not been disturbed. There was no evil
dence of a struggle. The woman had
evidently been struck down while pass
ing through the private hallway. Mrs
kronman was removed to Roosevelt
hospital, and up to a late hour had
not regained consciousness. Mr.. Kron-
man was formally placed under arrest
late tonight. He is charged with hav-
ing murderously assaulted his wife.
The police say they have learned that
a woman had been much In Kronmanks
company of late, and that she called
frequently at his place of business.
Kronman and the woman, the police
say, would spend several hours in each
others company on such occasions.
Kronman was seen to leave his place
OF business tonight, accompanied by
the woman, and he admits that he did
not reach home until O'Clock. His
coat sleeves and cuffs were found to
be stained with blood but he explained
that he received the stains while lift
ing his wife out of the hall, where he
had found her unconscious.

who may have to answer to a charge
of murder. The arrests were made on
the strength OF the report of Coroner
Hamilton Williams, who conducted the
post mortem and reached the conclu-
sion that Mcclure met death by vio-
lence.
Scarcely a spot on the dead mans
body was free from bruises which APP
parently were the result of pressure
from the knees of the attendants. Deep
blue dents were discernible on the flesh.
Six of the ribs on the right side were
broken. Intestines had broken through
the abdominal membrane, which had
been torn almost to ribbons. The kid
neys and liver had been badly bruised
and there was large abrasion at the
back of the head.

The accused is unfortunate in not be-
ing able, apart from his sufferings, as
told by others, to command sympathy
His countenance only expressed wish
to hide his feelings. 1t is a reticent
face, but not bad face. One would
like it to be more frank. The voice is
not pleasing and the diction is less SO.
Dreyfus seems without dramatic feel
ing and lacks ease in all things How
ever, he passed today through cruel
ordeal. It was trying, after the expert
ence of the last five years, to find HIM
self in the full blaze of publicity and
stared at and scrut.nized by seven hun

BUYING FOR 1900.
No Check in the Great Demand for
Iron.

Cincinnati. O., Aug. THE intense
heat has not checked the buying move
ment for pig iron, and there has been
large Inquiries and numerous sales, say
Rogers, Brown & Co. in their weekly
market review. The point has been
reached where most consumers seem
to believe they are safe in purchasing
at present prices for delivery during
the first half of 1900, and some furnaces
are willing to sell for such deliveries.
Others, however, will only accept COM
tracts for the limited amount they have
unsold for the remainder of this year
1t is still impossible to keep up with
deliveries required on existing con-
tracts. The week closed with a Strong
market, and all conditions are bright
both for the maker and consumer of
iron.

The new woman idea is getting old.
Some women are tickled to death to
have something to worry and be un-
happy about.
A man marries a woman to have her
share his troubles and he always gets
his share after that.
1t doesn't pay to f1atter a woman too
much; she will soon get a notion that
she is too good for you.
There's one thing about a woman you
can always be sure of, and that is, you
