A HANDCUFF ADVENTURE.
The Awkward Predicament of n

little fun at the Birmingham post
office led to n remarkable sequel, says
the South Wales News. Among the pos

Here q key was found, but as the officer
was turning it il broke off in the cuff.
Ihc situation, at first ccInical had row

would have to be drilled out or the hand
cuff filed through before the clerk could
be released from his unpleasant incum-
brance. But it was Sunday and no
place of business was open. The clerk
therefore returnedito the post office and
explained his plight to his superin-

PARIS QUIET AT PRESENT
Fears of Serious disturbances of Early
D~ate-Public Sentiment Changed by
Condemnation from Abroad and Fear
of Boycott of the Exposition

Paris, September 11.-Except for
slight street disturbances tonight Paris
has remained Unexpectedly quiet, but
this condition Of affairs is not likely to
continue. The long, heavy rain yester-
day. combined with the fact that the
leaders of the opposing parties were
all at Rennes, prevented any organized
demonstration. Then, too, the general
public were delighted with the verdict
as confirming the chose jugee.
Now, however, they are beginning
to see the want of logic in conceding
"~eXtenuating circumstances" to a con
victed traitor, a concession which eX-
cites doubt as to the strength of the
case against Dreyfus.
/, Moreover, public opinion is being So
bered by reading the comments of the
world at large and by the prospect,
however remote, that the exhibition
will be boycotted, which would mean a
loss of millions to the country.
There is little doubt that the trial OF
the Derouledists next Monday, al
which, it is asserted sensational evil
dence will be developed, and the re-
opening of the chamber of deputies
will be signals for French ouble Al
present both parties are taking breath
but the latent animosities are undimin.

THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE
An Explanation of its Relations witt
the LO,'isviIIe and Nash Vile com

An Explanation of its Relations with
the LO,isvfIIe and Nashville com
pany -
New York, September 1.-THE fol-
lowing explanation was made tonight
by authority Of August Belmont & Co..
of the actual terms of agreement be-
tween the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Louisville and Nashville.
1T is true that the Louisville and
Nashville has disposed of a half inter
est in the lease of the Georgia railroad
to the Atlantic Coast Line. The papers
have no been delivered yet, but the ne
gOtiations have been completed. By
the terms of this transaction, the At
lantic Coast Lime becomes a co-lessee
of the property On go. il terms with
the Louisville and Nashville, which has
for the past year been sole lessee.
Originally the Central of Georgia was
q co-lessee with the Louisville and
Nashville, but forfeited it's interest by
failing to pay it's part of the expense
incurred, the courts declaring that the
Louisville and Nashville then became
sole lessee. We then had a right to
dispose of this half i .jerest in the
Georgia railroad lease, and we have
done so to- the Atlantic Coast Line.
ct is not true that the Coast Line
was acting for the Southern railway in
this transaction. The Atlantic Coast
Line is an independent railway system,
of which Harry Walters is president
The Southern does not own a dollar Of
it's stock, so far as is known.
"The Southern railway is an indie
pendent railroad system of which
Samuel Spencer, of this city, is p esi-
dent. The Louisville and Nashville is
another Independent company, which WI
! are managing for THE holders of it's Sc
crutities. These three independent cor.
porations are in no way drawn togethel
by the terms of the lease of the Georgis
railroad. All reports to the effect tina
these railroads have in any way ac
| quired control, one of the other, or hav'
| pooled traffic interests are without tn.
| slightest foundarion-merest nonsense

Mercy, Thus Avoiding a second
Degradation
Rennes, September IA state OF
calm prevails here. All the troops and
gendarmes CHARTERED in the town and
its environs have left and the journal
lists and others interested in the trial
hav departed since Saturday. The
cafes, which for the last few weeks
have been thronged with excited crowds
are deserted. This afternoon I solitary
gendarme paced up and down before
the military prison, and there was net
a policeman or a soldier near the
Lycee, which, last week, roSersbled a
barracks. Workmen were busi!y dis
mantling the court room and packing
the chairs, tables and benches or troll
ley cars outside.
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
IL prison this afternoon, but not the
slightest interest was shown in their
meeting by the populate n She found
hin. as calm as yesterday. The prisoner
smaked a pipe today, for the first time
in many days, which indicted that he
was in better spirits than could be ex-
pected.
The court-martial signed a formal
recommendation for mercy his after
noon. Its object IS to eliminate the
degradation feature Of he punishment.
The recommendation will be handed to
