TALKS TO HIS LAWYER.
Conference with Capt.
Dreyfus.

Rennes, July 5.-Maitre Labori paid
another visit to Capt. Dreyfus at ten
o'clock Tuesday morning, remaining
with him until noon. The lawyer
found the prisoner to be in even better
spirits than on Monday, and in the re-
sistance Dreyfus has shown to the
frightful blow he suffered in the judg-
ment of the court-martial and his ter
rible existence on DEVILS island, COM
bined with his marvellous recuperation
of physical and mental strength since
he left Cayenne, Maitre Labori saw the
strongest proofs of his innocence. Coun-
sci was almost joyful in appearance on
leaving the military prison Tuesday,
and beyond doubt his interviews with
Dreyfus have given him the most
favorable impression respecting the
outcome of the court-martial. Dreyfus
spent Monday evening and Tuesday in
studying the documents relating to
the Esterhazy and lola trials. Maitre
Labori during the mornings confer
ence explained to him the obscure
points. Dreyfus was naturally aston
ished at many incidents and at the
attitude of various persons since his
deportation.
Matthew Dreyfus paid his first visit
to his brother at three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, the interview lasting half an
hour. The brothers threw themselves
into each others arms. Matthew said
he found his brother aged and broken
in health, but not the physical wreck
he feared. In spite of his suiferings,
Dreyfus' eyes are as bright and his
mind as clear and his intelligence as
keen as when he was occupied with his
duties on the general staff. Matthew
found his brother i'll good spirits and
buoyed up by the necessity of mus
tering all his strength for the coming
ordeal and by the hope that he will
at last have justice done him. He is
extremely reserved as to his life on
DEVILS island, which has left an in
delible impression and remains in his
memory as horrible nightmare. Drey-
fus looks back to his existence of the
past four years with relief, tinged with
feeling of the horror of sane man
who has escaped from a madhouse. He
declares his brain is almost reeling in
the face of the mass of documents and
explanations NM. Demage and Labori
are bringing out regardingthe extraor-
binary Vaccinations of his enemies and
the persevering devotion of his friends.
Dreyfus is astounded and full of heart
felt gratitude at their self-sacri1ice.
This feeling is particularly strong as
regards Col. Picquart, whom he hardly
remembers, and the story of whose
persecution has profoundly moved
him.

Speaking as a Brother.

A certain curate was of painfully
nervous temperament, and in conse-
quence was constantly making awk-
ward remarks-intended as compile
ments-to the bishop and others. Hav-
ing distinguished himself in an un-
usual degree during a gathering of
clergy at an afternoon tea at the bish-
ops palace, he was taken to task for
his failings by senior curate, who was
one of his companions on the way
home. Look here, Bruce" said the
senior, decidedly, you're donkey.
Why cannot you keep quiet instead Of
making your asinine remarks? am
speaking to you now as brother"
Loud laughter interrupted him at this
point, and for a moment he wondered
why.-Tit-Bits.

LOST ON LAKE ERIE.
ers During n Storm-Eight
Persona Perish.

Toledo, O., June 30. - Nine lives
were lost by the laundering of the
steambarge Margaret Olwill in Lake
Erie Thursday morning about two
o'clock. The following are those who
went down: -,
John Brown, captain. Cleveland; Mrs.
Brown. wife of Capt Brown, Cleveland;
Richard Brown, son Of captain; Miss Hunt,
". Doyle. fireman. Cleveland; George
Hebron, wheelman, Cleveland; Frank
Hipp, Waterman, Kelley's Island: -
James, Cleveland.
John Smith, first mate; Alex McRea,
chief engineer; Luke Schinski, sec
ond engineer, were rescued by members
of the crew of the steamer Sacramento
and taken into Lorain by the tug Cas-
cade. Duncan Coyle was picked up by
the passenger steamer State of Ohio and
landed at Toledo.
The barge Margaret Oiwill left KEEL
ly's island at six o'clock Wednesday
night bound for Cleveland with cargo
of stone. There was little or no wind
blowing and everything was favorable
for pleasant run. At eight o'clock the
wind began TO blow from the northwest
and the little boat with thousand tons
capacity began to go at lively clip At
ten o'clock the gale commenced and the
wind blew at the rate of so miles an
hour. Suddenly the gale turned to the
northeast and Capt. Brown found that
the boat was making but little head
way and concluded the only thing to do
was to turn back and go with the
storm. According to the story of Coyle
it was two o'clock when the captain
gave the order to turn about. The ves-
sci had turned half way round when
the rudder chain parted and in an in
slant the boat was at the mercy Of the
storm. She was caught between two
waves and us she was borne along the
top of one of them she rolled over on
the side. The cabins came loose from
the hull of the barge and tloated on the
water while the rest of the ship went
to the bottom. Whether any OF the
occupants were able to take advantage
of this it is not known, but Coyle says
he saw Schinski, the second engineer,
and Hebron, the wheelman, after the
boat went down, but that was all. Coyle
caught hold of part of the after cabin
and climbed upon it.
