The Dreyfus Trial,

The DreyfuS Trial,
Rennee. Aug 1.-THE Dreyfus court
martial was assembling and about to
open its session when French jour
nalist bounded ipto the court room
shouting that Labor was wounded.
The crowd rushed outside, but soon re-
turned and began to debate exclttdiy
over the news. The police then pro
ceeded to take away the canes of all
the newspaper men present and Col.
Jouast told the reporters that if they
made any manifestation he would clear
he court. After a short recess Drey-
fus entered the court room. He had
already heard of tine shooting and was
very pale. General MERCER was
then called and repeated mis- as.
eertioDs that there was danger OF
war between France and Germany
when Dreyfus was first accused. CAST
mir Perier strongly denied this. NJ.
Demanage then asked General MERCER
why the version of the Panizzardi dis.
patch discriminating Dreyfus had been
used when only one version existed
and contained no determination OF the
prisoner. MERCER said there were two
versions of the telegram. NJ. Paleolo.
que was here recalled and reattirmed
there was only one version. NJ. Cast.
mir Perier denied that Captain Renaud
had said that Dreyfus confessed and
stated that Renaud had never come TO
tell him so as General MERCER asserted.
Dreyfus then explained what he had
really said about Casimir Perier's
promise to help him and the ex.presi-
dent expressed himself satisfied with
the explanation. Elk Minister of War
Billot repeated his testimony before the
court of cessation. This consisted in
assertions that Dreyfus had been
legally convicted and that settled
it. Ex.Minister of War Cavsignsc
took the stand and began long
harangue. He placed no reliance
in Esterhazy's confession and said
there was not shadow of doubt as to
the prisoners guilt. When he had con-
Guided Dreyfus said: 81 only express
| nv establishment that the witness has
based his action throughout on forge
~ and continues the same in the name
of Justice"
Ex-Minister of War Zurlinden came
next. He was sure OF the prisoners
guilt, and certain that ne wrote the
bordereau. Ex-Minister OF War Cha
nome followed with similar testimony,
basing his conviction, however, on the
assurances of others.
II. Hsuotaux, ex minister of foreign
affairs, was called. He said he had no
knowledge of secret evidence being
submitted to the judges of the first
courtmartial, nor of any communica-
tions from foreign powers duplicating
Dreyfus. The court hereupon adjourn
ed until Wednesday, as tomorrow is q
church holiday.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE Petit Bleu says
that Dreyfus expressed sorrow that he
had replied to MERCER as he did on Sat
urday. He is quoted as saying: "How
could l forget the difference between
u.s. am captain and he is general"
Rennes, Aug. IA The religious pro
cessiou customary on assumption dsy,
tomorrow, has been abandoned by
order of the Archbishop of Rennes.
The Archbishop urges the people to be
calm during the Dreyfus trial.

she told it calmly, but ecstatically. She
felt her soul was diaembodied, and she
was waited through boundleas space,
first down in valley of deep shadows,
then over vast broken rocks, cha
etc in character. Then the scene
changed, and she approached a vast
walled city on an eminence-a city
shining and surprisingly beautiful. AS
she approached the gates opened, and
she saw her husband beautified and
holding forth reckoning hand TO her.
Then she saw her sister in radiant light,
and before her enraptured eyes passed
her piaymates, friends and loved ones
of years ago. She saw on the golden
.treets countless hosts OF children, in
unimaginable beauty and radiance. But
the central figure, immeasureably
brighter than ell, with the halo of glory
about him, was the King Of Glory. She
pleaded to 90 in, but was waved back
and told Not yet, not yet. Go back

Representive Samuel Taylor, leading
lawyer, her niece, got to the bedside OF
the dying woman, who related to her
and her other relatives the beautiful
story. Those listening sobbed broken
ly, but Mrs. Taylor was strangely calm.
Her physicians offer no explanation,
but say her mind was clear, and that
she was not under the influence of any
opates. Mrs Taylor was born in 1855,
on Beacon Ridge. She was married in
1881. Her maiden name was Saman-
iha McClelland, daughter OF Colonel
John McClellard, deceased. She was
member OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church here. AT different times as she
was repeating her experience she seem
ed to see what she was telling, and
never varied what she told.

Attemnted Assassination.

Rennes, Aug. I'm. Labor, one OF
the counsel for Dreyfus, was shot early
this morning while on his way to the
court room. The wound was under
the left shoulder blade and was made
by small ball. The lawyer and his
wife had reached the Quay Onger, on
;he edge of the city, when a man, who
had been concealed in a vacant lot near
by, leapeG out and fired revolver at
Labor. The lawyer staggered but soon
regained control of himself. His wife
screamed for help. Two men who saw
the would be assassin just after
the shooting, gave the alarm and
started after him. Several others join
ed in the chase. Labori's assailant
disappeared in the woods and after
that all trace of him was lost.
Those who saw the man describe him
as OF slender build apparently not
over 20, and wearing little moustache
The shooting has caused tremendous
excitement in the city. Labori's ply
sicians says clot of blood is prevent
ing the extraction of the bullet from the
victims back, and complications are
feared.

M. Labor is perhaps the most bril-
liant legal light in France. He made
his reputation in 1894 when he defended

speech to the jury. He defended lola

the Dreyfus case, devoted ell his efforts
to it, abandoning his other practice. 1t
is largely in his clear knowledge OF the
law and hawkeyed way of detecting
flaws in plausible evidence that the
strength of Dreyfus's case before a court
lies. He was to have cross questioned
the witnesses Of the prosecution and if
his death ensues an appalling blow will
have been struck at the defense.

Van Wyck's midsummer boom has been

Tammany men who have been here

what caused the change. The stand of

AMERICANS ARE so emotional and
excitable that though they have
troubles enough of their own, in all con-
science, to worry their very lives out of
them, they take the deepest interest in
the peculiar affairs of all the other ma
tions of the world, civilized as we'll as
barbarous. Judging from their news
papers, there are many of them in every
city and town Of the country who are
as much concerned about the result OF
the Dreyfus case, now being tried in
France, as Frenchmen are, though why
they should DE neither they nor any
body else can tell, except it be for the
reason that most Northern people, and
those who admire them ia the
South, are imbued with the idea that it
is their business to interfere with that

the two men. Fidelity in one is
crime and apostasy in the other, the
nobiest of virtues. This is not all.
There is a low class of men in Mary
land who sueer at Mr.. Germans aolll
ties and deride his services. Groveling
at Cleveland's feet they bark viciously
at the man who in the Q. S. Senate ex-
posed his mendecity. Not content "lto
legitimate public criticism, they have
endeavored to destroyed Mr. Germans
reputation as 50 honest man aud the
good name which will descend to his
children. No SANDER upon his per-
sonal integrity has been too foul for
them to utter. Mr.. Rayner may or
NAV not have echoed these ISLANDERS,
but it is certain that he has been spe-
cially and closely associated in political
actions with these depraved men. He
has never repudieted them, or de-
nounced them, nor does he propose to
do so now. Phe nomination OF any one
of his element tends to give character
and standing to the rest, and to give
color TO their venomous fslsehoods. 1t
is another ovation to Mr.. Cleveland's
degraded followers and pensioners a
sacrifice to his malice and theirs, and
an insult to the able man who has done
more than all these machine politicians,
or even better men, to make the State
respected abroad. Mr.. German, in his
anxiety to expel the republicans from
power, may pass over this gross affront,
but such magnanimity on his part would
only make this nomination more obvi-
ously wrong and indefensible. Things
have come to pretty pass in Mary
land when the democrats nominate
man for Attorney General who would
refuse to vote for Bryan for President
or German for the Q. s. Senate.
