AN OPERATORS MISTAKE.
Comes Nearly Causing a Disastrous
Railway Accident.

SUISUN, Aug 16-What might have
proved a disastrous train wreck was
fortunately averted early this morning
at Army Point, short distance north
of Benicia. A special freight train
bound west and timed to arrive at Sui
sun at 2 O'Clock a. m, had orders at
Elmira to meet the eastern bound
freight at Benicia. This order was af-
terward changed, and Charles Nose,
the night operator at Suisun, received
orders for the eastern bound freight
train to meet the other train at the
Goodyears Station instead of at Beni-
cia.
Goodyears is located half way be-
tween Suisun and Benicia- Vose failed
to give the order on the arrival of the
train at Suisun, and the conductor
pulled out, thinking the place of meet
ing was Benicia. On reaching Army
Point the engineers of the respective
trains observed each others lights and
instantly realized the danger The en-
eines were reversed, air brakes were
applied, and the engineers and firemen
jumped. The trains came within close
proximity without a collision.
The avoidance of a disastrous COLI
sion is regarded as nothing short of a
miracle.
Vose states that he forgot to deliver
the order. and realizing his grave mis-
take at once telegraphed his resigna-
ton to the company.

CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS.
The Demonstration on Their Re-
turn to be a Grand Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-Every
day new features are added to the
plans for the reception of the California
volunteers, and there is no doubt that
the demonstration viii exceed in many
respects anything of the kind ever un-
dertaken west of the Rockies.
1t is calculated that not less than
$4,000 will be expended for the pyro-
technic effects alone. This includes the
electrical illumination for the line of
march, the play of searchlights, the
burning of tons of colored fire, private
illuminations and displays of fireworks,
besides a gorgeous display on the bay.
The association of relatives and par
ents of the First California Regiment
have decided to give the boys some
thing to eat on the night of their ar
rival There will be 900 lunches, each
put up separately in bags. The latter
have been donated. These will be sent
down the bay on a tug and delivered
Immediately on board the Sherman.

rive from the interior tomorrow, COM

The Man Who Shot The Leading
Counsel for Dreyfus
Is Sill at Large, Though the Whole COun-
try Has Been Secured for Him.
Belief That the Search of the Po-
lice Will Prove Fruit1ess, as
the Country Folk Refuse to Give
Amy Information Regarding the
Whereabouts of the Shooter.

copyrighted, 1899, by Associated Press.)
RENNES, Aug. 16.-Vain have been
the attempts of the police to seize the
man who shot NJ. Labori in the back.
The whole country has been secured
for him, but as all the country folk
refuse to give information or only
speak to mislead, the police will prob
ably go on searching fruitlessly.
The Catholic feeling of the whole
district has been aroused against Drey-
fus, and runs higher than ever since
the Archbishop issued a pastoral an
nouncing that no openair procession
in honor of the Virgin must take place
at the Festival of the Assumption. lie
has ordered the clergy, in the interest
of peace, TO confine the procession to
the Cathedral and other churches. The
general conclusion deduced from the
Episcopal pastoral has been that the
Dreyfusards, who are either Jews,
free thinkers or blasphemers, intend to
insult religion and breed disturbances.
The actual seriousness of NJ. Labori's
state was hidden in the hope that
the trial might be adjourned pending
his recovery. 1t was rather an un-
reasonable expectation, however desir-
able, from the view point of the de-
fense Nj. Demange's application for
an adjournment was roughly dis
missed Nine. Labori, to show that
her husband was recovering rapidly,
attended the session. She was severe
1y disappointed at the news she had
to convey, and she said he would be
even more so. To-days witnesses were
Senator Guerin, who was Colonial Min
lister at the time Dreyfus was sent to
Cayenne; Nine. Henry widow of the
suicide and M. lie Bon, who was Co
lonial Minister for more than two years
and who ordered the palisade of high
fence to be placed around the hut on
the Isle of the Devil.
Guerin is a provincial attorney in
Carpentras, where they know nothing
of the Dreyfus case, except what they
have learned from the papers. | hap
pen to know that he was acquainted
with the prisoners father, who was nat
uralized a Frenchman in 1873 at Car
pentraS, where two of his three daugh-
tiers have since married. This, possi-
bly,, accounts for the tone of kind feel
ing in NJ. Guerin's deposition.
Nine. Henry, dressed in deep mourn
ing, came from the convent where she
is staying She says her age is 26. She
is commonplace, and shows in her
figure and complexion that she shared
the good cheer of which the late Lieu
tenant Colonel Henry was so fond.
There was very little in her evidence.

it had been thought inadvisable to in
form the patient to-day of the refusal
of the President of the court to adjourn
the session in view of the counsel's con-
dition.
The decision of Colonel Jouaust not
to adjourn the court has created a very
bad impression in Dreyfusard circles,
and pessimistic predictions are being
made as to the outcome of the trial 1t
is pointed out that the decision of the
members of the court not to adjourn,
being unanimous. shows that not one
of the Judges is well disposed toward
