COMPARATIVELY little notice has been
taken of the death Of Senator Albert
Grevy, a brother of the former presi-
dent Of the Grench republic. He is
chiefly remembered as having been
governor general of Algeri;s alta period
of great ferment in the African colony.
He was appointed to the post in 1879,
and had to repress the rising5of the
Kabyles. Soon afterward his admin
istration was holly attacked byseveral

resigned under Scompulsion. He has

Kisses FOR MERCER.
Audience Expresses It's Disapprovnl
Of His Evidence.

Fl Is . g
Rennes, Aug. 14.-The red and white
facade of the Lycee was bathed in sun
shine at $40 O'clock Saturday morning
when Capt. ssDreyfus crossed the Avenue
de la Care and entered the building for
the second public session Of his trial by
court-martial. The same stringent pos
lice precautions were taken, but bare
ly 20 persons had gathered to witness
his crossing. .f #
Once the most interesting features
of the session was the testimony of
former President Casimir-Pe re-
garding the. diplomatic correspond nce
in which Emperor William required Of
the French government that the Ger.
man embassy in Paris be acquitted of
having sustained relations with Drey-
4fus. 81 Sl s5 81
Gen. MERCER was on the stand for
four hours. His evidence was a repeti-3
ton Of the old charges and accusa-5
tons against 5Dreyfus. He repeated
again his War-scare story to the effect
that the Dreyfus affair had brought
Germany and France to the brink of
conflict s5 rs
~ Kisses for MERCER. ss
At the end of his evidence Gen. FER
cier said he believed that the only mo-
tive of Dreyfus' treason was that Drey-5
fus had no feeling of patriotism. This
cruel utterances brought forth Kisses
from the audience, hose blood had
been sent up to fever heat by the wit
ness savage attacks on Drey fus.
Gen. MERCER, not needing the Kisses,
terminated with remarking: s.If the
least doubt crossed my mind, gentle
men, Iwould be the first to declare it to-
you, and say before you, to Capt. Drey-
fus, ! am mistaken, but in good faith
Then Dreyfus electrified his hearers
he jumped to his feet, as though the
words had galvanized him into new life,
and shouted with a voice which rang
throughout the hall like a trumpet
note: That is wlla It you ough It to say.
The audience burst int q a wild cheer
whereupon the ushers called for silence.

Coroner Roberts and County Detec-

terday making Investigations in the
case of John Kenney otherwise known
as Hennessey, who shot and killed his
wife Tuesday evening at Simpson. The
prisoner is still retained in the police
station in that city and will be given
hearing this morning.
DIR, Roberts made post-mortem ex-
animation and found that the first shot
fired from Kerney's revolver took ef-
feet close to the left ear, lodging in
the middle ear, producing a slight frac-
ture of the skull at the base of the
brain, but would not have caused
DEATH
The second shot entered the woman's
body between the seventh and eighth
ribs and penetrated the lung, severing
the large blood vessel and lodged in the
breast bone. This shot was sufficient
TO produce death instantly. The third
shot fired missed it's mark.
The coroner will hold an inquest in
Alderman Jones office this evening,
when the testimony of witnesses will

MRS. G0RLICK DROWNED.
Upsetting of Boat in the Susque-

the Cause -- Escape of Mrs.
Cush and Babe.

\ small boat containing two women
and three children capsized i'm the Sus-
quchanna near Plymouth yesterday af-
ternoon, drowning one of the women,
Mrs. Victoria GOrlick.
Mrs. Gorlick. with her two boys and
Mrs. John Cush. with her infant daugh-
ter rowed across the river to pick coal
from a dump.
on the return journey the extra
weight of the coal made it impossible
for them to manage the boat in the
strong current at mid-stream and down
it sank, leaving the occupants strug-
Cling in the water.
Relieved of the weight Of the OCcu-
pants the boat reappeared and the
two Gorlick boys succeeded in reaching
it. Mrs Cush clung to the infant and
fought desperately To keep above
water. Mrs. Gorlick kept rising and
sinking at regular intervals until she
was finally exhausted and sank to rise
no more.
While this terrible scene was being
enacted two men in a row boat were
pulling from the shore with all their
might towards the struggling women
and children. They reached Mrs. Cush
before she sank a third time and drag
ged into the boat with her baby, to
which she clung with such a firm
grip that black and blue marks We're
left on its little arms
The boat was then hastily rOwed to
the spot where Mrs. GOrlick was seen
to disappear but they could get no
sight of her. The boys We're taken
aboard and the boat rOwed some dis
tanCe down stream in the hope that
the body might be caught mp with but
no trace of it could be found and the
rescued quartette We're taken ashore
and given proper attention. They We're
last night reported to be all recovered

| perienCe.
Help was summoned and a careful
| patrol of that stretch Of the river main
tanned all afternoon and late into the
night but the body could not be re-
| covered.

Western Requisitions for the Alleged
Bunco Man.

Harrisburg, July 5.-James r. Green,
who is wanted in a half-dozen west
ern states for 0uncoing farmers, will
probably serve a term in prison in
Pennsylvania before he is extradited.
Green was arrested here ten days ago
and has since been in Jail awaiting the
arrival of detectives from the west.
The sheriff and deputy sheriff OF Walla
Walla are here with a requisition for
the prisoner for fleeing fasmer out of
$4,000 in that city. a Chicago deteC-
tive is also here with a requsition for
the prisoner. who is alleged to have
buncoed farmers i'm Illinois. and Off

with acquisitions. Today Detective
Shreffler, of Westmorcland county,
reached Harrisburg with a warrant for
Green. who is wanted at Greensburg
for fleeing a farmer out of 81 900 in
1887.
All of the parties were represented
by counsel at a hearing before Cover
nor Stone this afternoon on the requisi-
tions. The governor turned Green over
To the Westmoreland county author
tiles to allow the requiston of the
Washington authorities, so that the
prisoner may he taken to Walla Walla
after the WestmOreland people are
through with him.
The governors action remandng
Green to the Westmoreland county au-
thOritieS was checked by the issuing
of a warrant this afternoon from the
executive department to Sheriff Sellers
onthe requistion papers sent here from
the state of Washington. Judge Weiss
said the only thing he could do under
these conditions is to hand the prisoner
over to the Washington authorities,
providing the accused's identity is es-
tablished by the officials.
After an hours consultation between
the judge and attorneys, Green was
sent back to Jail until further orders
are received from Governor Stone. The
governor left this afternoon for Wash
ingtOn and will not return before Fri
