Seaboard Will Enter Washington by
Same Route Next Winter.
Baltimore special to Washington Post)
1t was learned today that through
trains of the Seaboard Air Line will
reach Washington from the South next
winter over the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. as they have in the past
The route, of course, will be from Flor
ida via Columbia, Cheraw, Ridgely, and
Richmond. The road to be used north
of Washington under this arrangement
will probably be the Pennsylvania, al
though an arrangement might be made
to run the trains at that point over to
the Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad men,
however, are inclined to the opinion that
the "Pennsy" will take the travel north
from Washington. The road is on good
terms with the Seaboard. The belief is
expressed that the arrangement with the
Pennsylvania is not permanent. 1t is
thought that the Seaboard will build a
separate line from Quantico to a point
on the Potomac River above Georgetown,
and there connect with the Baltimore
and Ohio.

Franklinton, n. c., August 7.--(Spe-

master on the s. a. l.. II. X. reported to
the chief Of police, Mr.. G. w. Conway.
that young colored boy was found dead
near the railroad bridge over Tar river.

liams asked Mr.. Morris TO appoint a

w. Conway was duly appointed, and
summoned the following jurors to go
out where the remains were found:
w. II. Harris. w. A. Fuller, w. FL.
Hester, G. l.. Whitfield and j. s. Robe
son.
The boys name was ascertained to
be Charles Aston; his parents live near
Kittrell. The verdics of the coroner's
jury was that he came to his death
by falling or jumping off the train. He
had on his person letter from Jerry
Aston, written on paper with the let
ter head of the Atlantic Hotel, Norfolk,
Va, addressed to Mrs. =. J. Aston, his
mother. He was identified by some one
presents. The coroner sent a messer-
ger for his people, who lived about two
miles from the scene. Eis father came
over, claimed the body, and carried it
to his residences. The boy evidently
was on his way home from Norfolk The
general opinion is, that after passing
KittreIl he tried to take advantage of
the heavy grade when the train was at
it's slowest, but was mistaken in the
speed of the train, or he may have
been asleep on the step and fell off. In
any event no blame could be attached
to the railroad.

the Rue Montmartre, where newsboys

While the papers today scarcely had
time to comment on the court-martial,
they all endeayored to draw conclusions
from the different descriptions of the per
sonal appearance of the prisoner at the
trial. The Nationalist papers declared
"Dreyfus appeared embarrassed" while
the Journal des Debates said:
Neither his face nor his words evoke
sympathy. His voice sounds false and
his protestations OF innocence are not
convincing"
The Temps. on the ,other hand, said:
