ERIE, Pa, August 1s.-A special dis
patch to the Morning Dispatch says a
fire Mt jamestown, N. Y. which started
Mt $3.50 this afternoon in the blacksmith
shop Of the jamestown Cane Seat chair

trous which ever visited that place.

passed better night, he had some
sleep and his condition Is more reGs-
suring. The assallant OF the lawyer
has not been captured.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has just returned from a visit
to n. Labort, who is lying At the resi-
dence Of Prof. Basch, an old rambling
house situated in q walled garden on
the outskirts of Rennss. He found.
unfortunately. that the wounded law
yer was worse. A slight fever has re-
turned.
Madame Labor is beginning to feel
the effects Of the nervous shock and
fatigue.
N. Hill, secretary of NJ. LabOri, said
1t had not been thought advisable to
inform the patient of the refusal Of the
president Of the court martial to Gd-
5ourn the sessions, In view Of the cOun-
sells condition.
The decision Of Colonel 1ouaust not
to adjourn the court has created a
very bad impression in DreyfuEard cir
cles, and pesslmistic predictions are
being made as to the outcome Of the
trial. 1t is pointed out that a decision
OF the members OF the court not to ad-
journ being unanimous shows that not
one 10 the judges is well disposed to-
wards the prisoner.
Emile Zola telegraphed to n. Labor,
saying: ION learning OF the outrage I
send you the expression OF my indlg-
nant anger. Ny heart is full of ten
derness and admiration for you"
N. Demange had long consultation
with Matthew Dreyfu5 this afternoon
respecting to-days session of the court
martial. the gravity of which Is fully
recognized.
NJ. Demange is much upset by the
loss Of the assistance OF his colleague,
particularly as NJ. Labori had prepared
special set Of questions for General
Roget, and the absence of this. together
with the fact that NJ. LabOrt's secretary
was compelled to be away, put NJ. De-
mango to a great disadvantage.
Counsel for the defense. however VIII
take General Roget in hand the first
thing tomorrow.
The great disappointment of the
Dreyfus family and n. .Demange, how
ever, is the refusal OF the court to ad-
journ when applied to this morning.
At $50 p. m. the following bulletin
was issued:
'The condition of the patient is salts
factory, in spite Of slight fever. The
x-ray has showed the bullet traversed
the skin subcutaneous cellular tissues
and muscles around the spinal column,
aattenlng against the right side of the
dorsal vertebrae."
The bulletin was tssuet by the four
doctors in attendance upon NJ. Labor.
Tonight 1t is understood that Maitre
pemange will tomorrow repeat the ap-
pllcation for an adjournment, In conse-
uuence Of hin: that the government
eommlssary has received instructions
not to oppose 1t.
