Dreyfus's Lawyer Believes the Case is
Rapidly Nearing an End.

Rapidly Nearing an End.
Speeidl Gable Despatch to The Sun.
RENNEs. Aug. 2S.-Maitre DemanRe and
OF hers conn ected with the Dreyfus case believe
that the trial will now proceed speedily toward
its finish. They say they are confident that
the testimony will be completed this week.
and that a verdict will be rendered about
Thursday. NJ. Dc Freycnet. an OK Minister OF
War. and Con. Roget will be confronted to-
morrow. and further sensational evidence is
expected.
Dreyfus seems to gain physically as his cause
prospers. Before the court to-day. for instance.
instead Of resting both feet Imply on the floor.
he for tho first time crossed his legs. He had
been literally too weak to make this simple
change OF position before. He discussed Sat-
urday's conformation of Capt. Freystaetter and
Col. Maurs with privileged visitor. and ex-
pressed his satisfaction in the strengthening OF
his defence by Capt. Froystaetter's revelations.
He is. however, overshadowed by sorrow that a
French officer could be guilty OF such dishon-
orable conduct as was acknowledged by Col.
Maurel.
Those who first believed that the Cabinet
prompted Major Cnrri|re's application for the
appointment Of a magistrate to take Du Patty
de CLAIMS testimony were probably mistaken.
The initiative probably lies with Gen. Roget
and his associates.

Thrilling Race for Life.

A Pennsylvania Railroad passenger
train had thrilling race with four
loaded runaway coal cars noar New
Boston on Tuesday. A work train
which had taken siding at New Boston
to allow tho passenger a clear track,
backed out as the rear coach disappeared
around bend in the road. A freight
train came laundering along at the heels
OF the passenger, and crashed into the
work train, wrecking five cars, and start
ing four loaded gondolas down the grade
on the passenger trains trail
The runaways gained rapidly, and for
several miles the trains raced, the passen-
ger straining to escape with its precious
burden OF human freight. As they
whirled by Moore station the operator,
alive to the situation, wired the next
station to sidetrack the runaways. The
passenger had barely left Morris juno
tion as the four cars were switched into
a side track, going to pieces against
several heavy timberladen cars. Traffic
was delayed six hours.

Reduction of Capital Stock.

The directors of the Nescopec Coal
Company have recommended another re-
duction of the capital stock OF that cor
poration, and the stockholders will vote
upon the proposition at the annual
meeting OF the company In Philadelphia
on January 81. This corporation has
reduced its capital stock at each annual
nesting for the past few years. There
are 10000 shares issued, and on January
20, 1895, tho par value of each was re-
duced from $50 to SEQ; on January 80,
1897, from $50 to 80, and on January %.
1898, from SO to 81. The directors now
recommend that further reduction Of
So per share be agreed to, which would
give the company capitalization Of
800, 900, or So q share. This will likely
be done when the meeting is held.
The company's coal lands are located
at Upper Lohigh and are rapidly
decreasing in value, as the greater
part Of the original supply has been
mined. A large saving in state taxes
will be made by the reduction of the
capital stock.

Two Mon Holding Ono Office.

When the nsNly-elected officials of
Schuylkill county were being sworn In
on Monday at Pottsvillc, B. w. Cum
ming, OF Pottsville, who was elected
district attorney by an overwhelming
Democratic majority at the recent fall
election, failed to appear to take the
the oath OF Office. Owing to i'll health,
he decided, he says, not to assume the
office.
The court, therefore, decided after
consultation to appointGuy E. Farquhsr,
OF Pottsville, to the place to serve until
the next general election. Mr.. Far
quhar accepted without ceremony and
the oath OF office was at once admins
tered to him by Judge Pershing. The
oath of Office was then administered to
W. P. Mclaughlin and James J. Moran.
of Pottsville, as deputies. They with NJ.
j. Fleming, OF fremont, the third deputy
named by Mr.. Cumming. were continued
by Mr.. Farqnhar, and will probably
serve during his term.
Threats were made for the past few
weeks that II Mr.. Cumming took the
oath OF office quo warranto proceedings
against him would be started for alleged
ante-election promises and corruption.
A sequel to this sensation was q notice
served on court the noxt day by Edgar
w. Bechtel, whose three-year term as
district attorney has just expired, that
the appointment of Mr.. Farquhar is ir-
regular, and that he is still the district
attorney, and prepared and ready to
perform his duties as such officer. Mr..
Bechtsl's protest was presented in open
court, before Judge MARI
The new form the district attorney
ship has developed is tho topic OF much
discussion among lawyers and politicians
generally. and they agree with Mr..
Bechtel's contention that Mr.. Cum mining,
not having qualified, had nothing to
resign, and that under the law Mr..
Bechtel is district attorney until his sue
cessor is elected and duly qualified.
II this contention is sustained by the
court Mr.. Bechtel will serve for the
ensuing three years. In this instance
the complications growing out OF Mr..
Farqnhar's appointments would be quite
serious. All tho indictments signed by
him for the present term of court would
be invalid.
Mr.. Rechtel's protest will be brought
up on Saturday morning next for argu-
ment before tho full bench.
