Out of Danger.

Rennes, August 15.-The con-
dition of Labori is so improved
that his doctors consider him out
of danger. He lies upon his back
unable to move, but life is res
turning to his leg which was be-
lieved paralyzed. He has no
foyer, and continues to discuss
the trial. Confederation of the
statement that his pockets were
rifed was obtained to-day. An
attempt was also made to steal
his notes made upon the cross
examination of Mercier. When
he had fallen, Labor saw one of
two men run to his side. One
said, Ills coat must come off;
he'll be too hot The speaker
then took eff his coat. The other
man siezed his wallek which
Labori refused to allow taken
from his hands, putting it under
his head. No effort was made to
take his watch or money, which
is regarded as clear evidence
that the attack was a deliberate
lplot in which several are impli.

LAST OF THE SEASON.

The old adage "nothing sue

more forcibly exemplified as in
the career OF the Messrs. Hatch
Brothers, the well-known excur-
sion managers. These popular
and hustling young men have es-
tabtished a reputation as excur-
sion managers that has never
been eclipsed, and they eminent
ly deserve the success they have
attained. They will run their
last excursion of the season from

Counsel Labori Assassinated He
Still Lives, but His Condi-
tiOn is Precarious Pic
quart is Marked for
Assassination


Rennes, August 14.-Assassins
attacked Labor, the advocate
counsel of Dreyfus, from ambush
on the side of the road at Rich
mont bridge over the canal to the
right of the hall of the court mar
tial. Labor was only = few hun
Edred yards from his home on his
way to the court martial. He was
ssot from behind by one of two
men armed with revolgers. The
bullet passed through his back
and lodged in the tissue of the back
lungs. Nine. Labor, a beautiful
young woman, was soon told the
news, and came to her husbands
side before he was moved from
the spot where he fell. She sat
in the dusty road and held his
head in her lap, kissing him re-
peatedly. His legs are paralyzed.
The city is in a turmoil, and the
session of the court is adjourned.
Later-La5ori is pronounced
out of danger. The surgeons have
probed the wound and found the
ball imbedded IN the tissue of the
back lungs, which was not pene-
trated, nor was any important ar
terry or vein cut. The patients
breathing is normal and there is
no internal bleeding. The good
news was received with cheers by
a great crowd which filled the
Place Laennec in from. of Labori's
house.
Rennes, August IA bulletin
posted by Labori's physicians
says that a clot prevents the ex-
traction of the ball. It is yet too
early to say the patient is out OF
danger.
It is also stated that Picquart
has been marked for assassina-
ton, More soldiers are stationed
at the Lyce this morning. and
extra precautions to prevent
disorder are being taken through
out the city.
Labori in falling retained pre-
sence of mind enough to arrange
the wallet containing his papers
under his head as a pillow until
his wife arrived, when he half
raised himself and dropped his
head in her lap.
Some laborors saw the assas-
sins. One of the former placed
himself in the path and tried to
stop the murderers. One of the
latter levelled his revolver and
shouted: s'Lat me lass, I've shot
Dreyfus!" The laborer was sc
taken back that he drew aside
and allowed the murderer to pass
who escaped to the woods. Pic
quart and his brother, who acs
eempanied Labori, joined in the
pursuit, but were obliged to give
it up. Some peasants heard the
murderer say: "If I can't gel
away I'll go for them"
It is reported that Labori said,
81 must die, but Dreyfus is
saved"

Dewey,s Chief Dread.

The chief dread of Admiral
Dewey in connection with his
home coming is that he will be
asked to make speeches, a thing
which be says he can't do. The
fear tha5 he will be expected to
respond TO toasts has set upol
him like a nightmare. Thus far
he has only once had to dodge a
woman with a desire to kiss him.
She was elderly and the best she
could get was a kiss of his hand.
AfterWard, when chaffed about
it, the admiral admitted that il
she had been younger ana hands
semer he might have been less
