Hannah about $500. Mrs. J. Blake Clark
and Mrs James Bennett, who were in
charge of the ice cream table, anticipate
clearing $3.50. The lemonade booth, presided
over by Mrs. Crook. made the surprising
sum of 500. Mrs. Julien, Mrs. Fitzgerald
and Mrs. Mcnamara realized a goodly sum
at the supper table, while the candy, pea
nut and flower booths, the paddle stand,
the grab bag and post office We're well pa
tronized and will turntoverta good amount.
Miss Julia Rainhart made a picturesque and

date of his former condemnation.
There seems to be a great difference of
opinion on this point and many opinions of
prominent men are cited on either side.
Maitre Demange thinks the five years
will count for nothing, and that Dreyfus,
according to law, will have to suffer ten
years detention
Colonel Jouaust declared Dreyfus must
that there would not he a fresh des rGda-
ton. This ceremony requires breakin., the
prisoners sword and tearing off his
epaulets. But Dreyfus never had his
undress uniform without epaulsts. so that
1t would be impossible to carry out the
regulations for degradation.

The town today has been perfectly calm
There has not been sign of a demonstra-
ton or cry for or against Drayfus o. the
Jews heard anywhere. A number of people
gathered to see Mime. Drayfus visit the
prison, but they were quite respectful.
Quiet in Paris Yesterday.
A dispatch from Paris last night says:
The day has been one of absolute quietude,
with no public excitement, not even in the
Rue de Chabrol. There was a rainfall this
afternoon. and the streets were practically
deserted.
Slight disturbances occurred yesterday at
Marseilles and Belfort after the verdict of
the Dreyfus court-martial was published
me demonstrators stoned the residence of
jacques Dreyfus, brother of the con-
demned, at Belfort breaking the windows
and otherwise damaging the structure.
Many persons were arrested IN both places.

This note is apparently a lithograph,

PANIC ON ELEVATED ROAD,
Motor Car on Brooklyn Line Almost
Destroyed by Fire.

DestrOyeO Dy FIRE.
| The New York Times OF today says: The
| burning out Of fuse in one of the new
| motor cars on the 9th avenue line of the
Brooklyn elevated railroad yesterday af-
ternoon resulted in fire which almost de-
| troyed the car, badly damaged the car it
| was drawing and caused a panic among
| the passengers on the train.
The accident happened at 2:3O O'Clock at
| 9th avenue and LIST street. Motor car No.
| 4O3, drawing a regular passenger car, was
| on its way from the bridge to Bay Ridge
| AS the train drew out of the Union street
station the passengers In the motor car
detected the smell of burning woodwork
and sparks were seen fiickering under one
Of the seats.
Directly under this seat and beneath the
bottom Of the car was the motor box A
| few blocks further on the car began to fill
with smoke. and the passengers began to
get uneasy. Suddenly there was Kissing
noise, a vivid flash, and the woodwork over
the motor box was all afiame. The motor
fuse had burned out and the freed cleo
| tricity had set fire to the floor of the car
Inc train had then reached 1st street
| 1t was brought to standstill and an at
tempt was made to stamp out the blaze
The flames, however spread rapidly along
| the rattan seats of the car and leaped up 10
and fired the oiled wood on the sides. There
were about seventy passengers in the car
and they became panic stricken. A rush
was made for the doors, but the guards
and the cooler-headed passengers succeed
| ed in calming the excited ones and all were
allowed to file through into the rear car.
The fire in the motor car burned fiercey
and the entire care was soon ablaZe. The
rear car became threatened, and the badly
! frightened passengers climbed down onto
| the foot paths, running parallel with the
| track on either side, and made their way
| back to the Union street station. The
train crew had great difficulty in keeping
some of the passengers from stepping on
| the third rail- charged with 800 volts of
electricity, the power by which the trains
| are operated.
In the meantime an alarm of fire had
| been sent in, and the reserves Of the 9Th
avenue police station We're called out. The
| ting down to the street and kept the street
clear under the burning train.
Sparks from the burning cars fell upon
several awnings over store windows on
| 9Th avenue and set fire to them. The occu-
pants of the houses roundabout became
! badly scared and fled from their apart
ments, several families, in fact setting TO
work removing their household goods. The
| firemen, however, made short work of the
blaze on the train and also of the awning
fires. The damage to the cars, which were
removed to the 36th street yard, was eS-
timated at about 5000
Immediately following the Bay Ridge
train was crowded Coney Island train
The passengers on this became greatly ex-
cited when the train ahead was discovered
to be on fire.
