Nearly 200 men are actively engaged

Peter Hall an old resident of Nc
Kenneys, Lake Tahoe, and for many
years postmaster there. attempted
suicide early Tuesday morning by
shooting himself. He held a pistol to
his temple near the upper part Of the
ear and fired it. The ball passed
through his head and out on the other
side almost directly opposite the place
where it entered. The ball then pene-
trated board in the wall. A physician
who happened to be at the place was
summoned and the wounded man cared
for. While the chances for recovery
are slight it is wonder the man was
not instantly killed.

CENSORSHIP .AT RENyES

Opinions ofLOndom mCorrespondcnts


opinions ofLondon Correspondents.
London, Aug 1S.-The dispatch to the
Morning Post from Rennes indicates the
activity of the censorship there. Gen
eral Merciers insulting reference to
Emperor William and certain allusions
to the secret dossier were suppressed
while General Mercier's utterances were.
toned down.
The correspondents of the London.
morning newspapers are, however,
unanimous in the opinion that the tide
has finally turned in favor Of Dreyfus.
The evidence yesterday (Thursday) was
so favorable to him that even some of
the anti-Dreyfusites would fain admit
that the scales are falling from their
eyes. Madame Henry's dramatic char
acterization of NJ Bertullus as Judas"
failed of the intended effect, because he
Immediately handed Colonel Jouaust,
president of the court-martal, an
anonymous letter that he had received

All the correspondents remarked also
the grateful demeanor of Dreyfus on
hearing, for the first time, witnesses i'm
his favor.
The correspondent of the Daily Chron-
icle predicts that Dreyfus will be re-
condemned and that the sentence will
be Immediately commuted through fear
of excitement and uprisings incidental
upon an acquittal. He believes the great

Committee Votes Unantmously-Mayo
Assents by Conn m nicatfon

The street sprinkling contract was
formally awarded to the lowest bidders
Forbes and Mortell, by the special com
mittee on street sprinkling last night,
and they will qualify with bondsmen
and begin the work this morning There
was no objection to accepting the bid,
although Councilman Walsh expressed
a doubt as to the suitability of the par
ties and their ability to carry out their
contract. Both of the contractors hav-
ing made their appearance the council
man from the Tenth asked Mr.. Forbes
how many carts he had. II have six
carts at present" replied Mr.. Forbes,
'and can get twelve more in as many
hours if needed when could you
start to work?" the councilman still
queried. II can go to work tonight
After a few more minor questions AL
derman Brennan, chairman of the COM
mittee, put the question that the COM
mittee accept the lowest bid, which was
unanimously voted. Director Troup
then announced that he had received a.
communication from the mayor in
which the executive assented to any ac-
tion the committee agreed upon. Inn
mediately after the meeting notice
was served upon Contractor Blakeslee
of the New Haven Street Sprinkling
company, which concluded the tempo-
rary contract that had been made. Mr..
Forbes will sign the contract and pre-
sent his bondsmen this morning and be-
gin to water the streets.
The contract, it will be remembered,
calls for the sprinkling Of that portion
of streets with railroad tracks which
may remain after deducting nine feet
in width for each line of track. The
bids were: New Haven Street Sprink-
ling company, $3,579.69; John A. Doolit-
tie & Co., $3,271.7O; Forbes and Mortell,
50, ,752. 9S. The contract is made on ba-
sis of seven carts at $3.50 per day. but

country together. The final, which
went to Jimmie Moran Of Chelsea was
won in beautiful shape. The quarter

COLuu EFENDER RACES.
General Opinion That oMcta' Trials
WilI be OF Newport.

Newport, r. T., Aug. 17.-The general
opinion here and shared in by number
of prominent officials and members OF
the New York Yacht club, is that the
official trial races between the Column
bia and Defender will be held off this
port. The whole matter, however, rests
with the committee in charge of the
cup races, some times called the chal-
lenge committee, and as yet the mem
bere Of that BODY have reached no de-
cision Nicholsan Kane, chairman of
the regatta committee, in reply to a
question as to whether the Columbia
would be selected to defend the cup
without further trials with the Defen-
der, said that ii was probable that the
matter would be decided on in few
days but that it rested entirely with
the Americas cup committee.

Batabane. He was accompanied by
two friends. They We're all unarmed A
private yacht which has been placed at

says he will unite all the island of Santo
Domingo under one government, and
that there are plenty of honest and
competent men to fill the posts under
him. Jminez asserts that the present
state of affairs in Hayti, which coun-
try is bordering on a revolution, lends
itself to the idea.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
The Abbot Takes the $4,000 Free-for-an
John Nolan Dlstanced.

Glens Falls, N. Y, Aug. T.-To-day's S
events at the grand circuit meet here
furnished the most exciting races and
closest finishes of the meet. Perfect
weather still prevails and the track is
in splendid condition and remarkably
fast, as is shown by the result Of the
second heat in the free-for-all trot,
when Bingen, driven by liter, went the
quarter in :31%, the half in 1:0S the
three-q quarters in 1:35 and the mile in
206H, betterng his own record by half
second and going the fastest mile any
horse has trotted this season on any
track. Bngen's mile in 2:06A was all
the more surprising, as he started in
sixth place The Abbott was but
head and shoulders behind. Just prior
to the start of the 2:10 pace announce
ment was made that the favorite, Hal
B., would not start on account of lame
ness, and all bets were declared off.
After Hal B. was drawn Ace ruled ia
vorite. In the first heat of the 2:10
pace there was a beautiful finish, Ace
going under the wire first, with Flirt
and Ambulator in the order named. In
the last heat Ambulator threw a shoe
and broke his hobbies soon after get
ting the word and was obliged to leave
the track. The famous stallion Direc-
tum, 2:05A, and Abdell, 2:23 as year
ling, owned by W. E. Spier of Glen
Falls, were exhibited between heats.
The final heat of the free-for-all trot
was won by The Abbott in 2;OS&, Bin
gen, winner of the second heat, break
ing in the first quarter and finishing in
sixth place. Considerable money was
lost on this heat, many thinking Bin
gen would take it. Conney won in the
2:21 pace as he pleased in straight heats,
with speed left over Summary:

THE SHAMROCK'S TOPSAIL.
A Larger One Designed to Obviatc Stiff
ness I'm the Font,

London. Aug. lit is learned that
the Americas cup challenger Shamrock
will carry a much larger clubtopsail
than when she was racing with the
Prince Of Wales yacht Britannia. New
spars for this topsail have Just been
completed by William Fife, jr., the de-
signer Of the boat. These, it is thought.
will obviate the stiffness shown by the
yacht in her recent races. The new
yard Is about eight feet longer than
the one previously used.
