Dreyfus did not create a very favor
able impression when at the conclusion
OF NJ. Cavaignac's testimony he was

prisoner replied, in a declamatory
fashion, with his hand on his heart,
that the court Of cessation had already

The speech of NJ Cavaignac, however,

premature blast in the Turkey Run colliery

to force a powder cartridge into small hole
with the aid Of mine drill.
II is stated that the mans wonderful con-
stitution is keeping him alive, but he must
eventually succumb 10 the effects Of his in
jurles, which are worse than they were sup
posed to be when the case WAS reported yes
terday. An examination Of the victim s iu-
juries at tho hospital showed that there was
double, compressed fracture Of the skull
with destruction of both eyes, and severe
laesration Of the hands, arms and top Of the

THE COAL TRADE.
The Producers Expect Rush of Business
This Fall and winter.


The anthracite coal trade during the past
week has reflected somewhat increased conf
dence on the part Of the coal company maa-
ayers in the future stability Of prices, but the
height of the summer thermometer con-
tinues and is hardly conducive to an in
creased ordering Of coal at the advanced
prices. The trade is quiet and is floating
along without much feature, this being the
usual August condition
The companies are keeping up the output,
and mined about 1900 tons in July,
making for the seven months 25, 600, 600 tons,
while for the present month 100000 tons
are generally expected to be taken out,
though no figure, so far as is known, seems
to have been officially fixed. There is good
deal of labor unrest in the Wyoming aud
Lsckawanna regions and strikes there have
interfered with work at a number Of col
leries.
There is in some quarters a belief that
mining is pushed now in anticipation OF
labor troubles in the autumn, which may
curtail the output as all the companies ex-
pect brisk demand for coal when cooler
weather comes, aud are, therefore, stocking
up. The stock market operators, who are
usually keen observers, have taken favor.
able view Of the situation and thus keep the
coal company stocks firm.
There have been rumors of a contemplated
further advance in prices for September but
this is unlikely. In fact there are intims.
tions that all the producing interests are moi
living up to the July circular, but that some
are shading prices in various ways to make
an inducement to buy, as their overstockinl
is becoming burdensome and they are anxiou,
to get rid of coal now so as to be the better
able to care for the expected autumn rush o.
business. s.-Philadelphia Ledger.

PARIS NEWSPAPER VIEWS
On the Outrage of which NJ. Labori
Is the Victim.

On the Outrage of which NJ. Labori
Is the Victim.
Paris, Aug. 15.-The Paris papers
give expression as follows:
The Temps deplores the state of
disorder into which the Dreyfus af
fair has dragged the country" and
says it is "high time for us to stand up
and be ourselves again"
The Figaro says: "In all the long
series Of crimes on the pages Of our
history this is the first time when as
sassination has struck down an advo-
cate, and that, too, at the very hour
when preparing to plead in defense OF
his client, to establish truth and to
confound accuseTs."
The Journal Des Debats says: "The
revolver shot is bound to be the end,
and one fine morning it will be closely
followed by the horrors of civil war"
The Liberte, which holds the gov
ernment responsible as the apostle
of the anarchy that has existed for the
last two years and that has sown
broadcast the seeds of civil war" says:
"The outrage is only an incident in the
era of catastrophes toward which tho
country is rushing"
The Libre Parole. which attacks the
government, says: To-day we have
only assassins. Tomorrow it will be
civil war"
The Moniteur Universal attributes
the outrage to "the excitement caused
by the governments efforts to save
Dreyfus," and to "the arbitrary acts
that have been committed in the alb
sence of the chamber of deputies"

THE TRIAL RESUMED.
General Mercier Confronted with Ex-
President Casimir-Perier.

General Mercier Confronted with Ex-
President Casimir-Perier,
Rennes, Aug. f5.-When the court
martial was resumed General Mercier
was confronted with NJ. Casimir-Perier,
the former president of France. The
latter declared that Mercier's story of
the imminence of war between Ger
many ana France in 1894 was grossly
exaggerated, and complained of the
action of the then minister of war
(Mercier) in moving 10000 troops to
the frontier without consulting him.
General Mercier was recalled, and In
reply to the president of the court. he
reiterated his belief that Major Count
Esterhazy, in spite Of the latter's own
declaration, was not the author of the
bordereau, which, the witness claimed,
was written on tracing paper and was
found in an embassy.
The president asked M. Casimir-
Perier to explain the circumstances OF
the confession Dreyfus is alleged to
have made to Captain Lebrun-Renault.
M. Casimlr-Perier persisted in his
statement of Saturday that he had
never received any condolences of this
character from Captain Lebrun-Ren-
ault He added that NJ Dupuy, the then
premier. was present when Captain
Lebrun- -Renault called at the Elysee,
Paris.
Moreover" said M. Casimir-Perier,
"here is a letter from M. Dupuy, which
/ ask may be read"
The letter asserted that Captain Le-
brun-Renault, when questioned by M,
| Dupuy, replied that General MercieF
| had sent him to the president to re-
ceive a dressing down for his indis-
Greet disclosures to The Figaro.
General Mercier here interposed,
saying: Captain Lebrun-Renault
spoke to me in regard to the confess
sions in the presence of General Gonse,
who will testify thereto. 1t was then
that l ordered him to go to the presi-
dent of the republic"
M. Casimir-Perier, resuming his tes-
timony, said he did not desire to reply
10 certain of General Mercier's insinua-
tions.
81 do not wish to answer them" said
the former president. "The circum-
stances are too sad and too tragic fol-
me to desire to envenom the discussion
| am master of myself and of my con-
| science. | would only state that Gen
eral Mercier has made every effort tC
mix me as deeply as possible in this
affair. But l have remained aloof,
affirm, during the progress of the In
vestlgation."
The former president then com
planned Of the incorrect behavior of hi
subordinate towards the chief Of th'
state.
M. Demange asked M. Casimir-Perie
If an understanding had not beeI
reached between France and German!
on the subject Of Dreyfus. M. Casimir
Perier replied that before his interview
with the minister on the 9Th the ques
tion OF Dreyfus had never been raiset
between them and Germany.
Counsel next asked General Mercie
why the explanations Of the secret dos
= sier were not included in the dossie
/ relating to the revision. The genera
replied that he considered these ex
plantations were given for his persona
use, and that was why he destroye
the document. At this NJ. Demange eX

ASSASSIN'S
ATTEMPT !
Meant TO Kill the Counsel Of Captain
DreyfuS.
THE PROGRESS OF THB TRIAL.

The Ex-President of the Republic and a
Number Of Prominent Generals and
Statesmen Testify, Mostly Against the
Accused Opinions of Paris Journals on
the Outcome of a Drama That Grows
Tragical.
Rennes, Aug. 15.-The drama at
Rennes grows tragical. That long be-
calmed town is being stirred into
more violent passion than Paris. Yes
terday morning at 6 o'clock a well nigh
successful attempt was made to kill
M. Labori, who defended Zola last
year, and who came here to defend
Dreyfus, with NJ. Demange. The
would-be assassin was evidently q
crank and looked a workman. 1t was
while Labori was going to the court
with Colonel Picquart and his cousin,
NJ Cast.
The announcement of the shooting
in the crowded court room caused a
deep hush. Solemn silence reigned for
perhaps three or four minutes. Pos
sibly 1t was the silence of stupor, for
all seemed stunned. At length the
Nationalists and Dreyfusites declared
their horror of the crime and their
sympathy with the victim The sit
ting was adjourned for a short time to
enable M. Demange to inquire after
Labori's condition. During the pro-
geedings pending the inquiry the la
dies grew excited and communicated
their nervousness to the gentlemen.
As a precaution against canes and
parasols being used in a faction fight,
D gendarme was sent around to take
them into his care. This led to mascu-
line protests and much feminine cackle,
but the gendarme insisted.
The following bulletin regarding the
condition of NJ. Dabori was issued last
night at 10 o'clock: Temperature 97.O5.
No. fever. Condition stationary" There
has been, therefore, a slight improve
ment during the last few hours.
