Kentucky Distiller Uses His Pistol in
Settlement Of a Quarrel.
Bardstown, KY, Sept. II. - James
Beam, a distiller of this vicinity, quar-
relied with Deputy Marshal Peter
Coyle and the latter was shot twice in
the abdomen, the wounds being pro-
nounced of a dangerous character. A
grudge, it is alleged, existed between
the men on account of the closing to
the saloons. A trial in the police
court brought the difficulty to a cul-'
mination. Beam and his friends
claim that Coyle shot himself. Beam,
however, was arrested and taken be-
fore the county judge and released on
bonds. 1t is thought Coyle cannot re-
cover.

Rennes, Sept. 12.-The expected has
happened. Dreyfus has been con-
demned, but though a majority OF
those in the court room fully expected
the verdict, they were completely
stupefied when it was given, and the
silence which prevailed in the room
and the way men turned pale and
caught their breaths, was more i'm
pressive than any other manifestation
could have been.
Maitre Demange sank. back in his
chair and tears trickled down his
cheeks, and Maitre Labori turned as
white as a sheet, while all around the
court men looked at each other in
silence. AS the audience left the
court room, fully ten or fifteen men
were crying openly, and the majority
Of those present walked quietly down
the street for more than a block with
out speaking a word. 1t was like a
funeral procession.
Meanwhile a tragedy was being en-
acted II the little room off the court
room, where Dreyfus listened to the
reading Of the verdict. He had been
told the result by his lawyers. and had
wept bitterly, but when in the pres
ence Of the officials of the court
martial, he listened impassively to the
sentence. His wife, who was waiting
in torture and suspense at her house,
bore the news bravely, and when Wis.,
iting her husband in the afternoon
showed the onlookers, who were in the
streets. no sign Of her suffering as she
walked from her carriage to the
prison. Matthew Dreyfus was not
present in court, but visited his broth
er after the verdict had been rendered.
He found him perfectly calm, and
without any manifestation of surprise
at the finding of the court. The pris-
e simply shrugged his shoulders,
uttering an expressive "bah," adding,
as he embraced his brother, as the
latter was preparing to leave, Console
wife," The general belief is that
Dreyfus will be pardoned; but this
will not satisfy his friends, who We
hemently declare that they will refuse
to accept the verdict, and will continue
the battle until the judgment is re-
versed. The verdict, they say, is d.
rected more againstI the Jews than
against Dreyfus, and If allowed to
stand will make their existence in
France impossible. Maitre Labori and
Maitre Demange took the midnight
train for Paris. They will sign an ap-
plicatfOn for a revision Of the case,
although there is no hope that the
verdict will be reversed.
Scenes of great excitement occurred
at Rennes in the evening. The anti
Dreyfusards broke loose and started a
demonstration which, but for the
prompt and rigorous measures by the
police, would undoubtedly have de-
veloped into serious disorders.

the reputation of being the most beau

With the magnificent dome which dis

building at the Worlds Fair from all
the other buildings, as the center piece
in the field Of noble buildings at
Springfield, the difficulty Of maintain

been readily surmounted in the con-

completeness, comfort and convent

WITH MARVELLOUS FoRT1TuDE
Capt. Dreyfus Bears the Shock OF
His Unjust Sentence.


His Unjust Sentence.
Rennes, Sept. IL. - Dreyfus has
borne the terrible shock with marvel
u f%ortitude, one might almost say
with unnatural calm. Saturday he
seemed stupefied when Maitre Labori
communicated to him the verdict. He
passed a quiet night and rose when
his orderly brought him water ut 5
o'clock yesterday morning, Just as he
did during the trial when it was neces-
sary. Nine Dreyfus and Matthew
Dreyfus visited him during the course
Of the afternoon, his brother SUISSE
Quently leaving for Paris. The appli-
cation to the court of revision was
taken to him at noon by Maitre La
boris assistant and he signed it. Yes
terday he spoke but little, though he
have been expected. The meeting
fecting, but both held up as we'll as
possible. He said to her: II am not
uneasy regarding myself as I shall
soon be free, but I think Of you and
my poor children. They will be
branded as the children Of a traitor"
He is convinced that the ten years.
imprisonment to which he is sentenced
will be wiped out by the five years of
solitary seclusion he has undergone on
Devils Island, and he expects to be re-
leased by Oct. is, which will be five
years from the date of his former con-
demnation.
M. Hadamard, father Of Nine. Drey-
fus. said that Nine. Dreyfus and the
family were hopeful and looked for
ward to some favorable developments.
'The verdict" he added, 'is an in
fanny. Capt. Dreyfus is in poor health
as every one knows. He has been <
tremely i'll from the moment of his ar
-ival in France and has been put on a
special regime. His health has not
improved, and the nervous effect of
Saturdays terrible blow is bound to
react on his general condition"
The town yesterday was perfectly
calm. There has not been a sign of 4
demonstration nor a cry for or against
Dreyfus or the Jews hooted anywhere.
A number of, people gathered to see
Nine. Dreyfus visit the prison, but
they were quite respectful.
