Paris, December 2O.-Maj. Count von Es- terhazy. who figured so prominently =. the Dreyfus case has sunk into utter mis- cry His divorced wifes suit against her mother the Marquis de Bancourt, for an allowance on the ground that she is in pro- found distress and unable to support or educate her daughters, has brought forth the following letter written by the Major to his wife, November 10:
 q have been unable ito write to my chill dren recently, not having the money to buy a postage stamp. I am at the last extremi- ty of strength, courage and resources. have not eaten for two days until this morning in the workhouse. I have no clothes. am shivering with cold and am compelled to warm myself by entering churches and museums. Every one will say this is a confession of guilt, but you can say am killing myself because, after having struggled to the utmost of my courage, my voice is stifed by my perse- cutors. Without bread, home or clothing I shall die of privatons of all kinds unless a revolver puts everything in good order. Kiss my children. Tell them I adore them, and if a 6-ightful fatality has precipitated human cowardice, I never committed the crime whereof l am accused by scoundrels in order to save themselves"

Williams was passenger agent of the same road at Montgomery
 He is one of the cleyerest and most gen. Birmingham and his many friends will re gret to learn that he has retired from the railroad field.
 Heavy Business from the West.
 Travel from Texas to the Southeast will be unusually heavy for the next few days The advance guard of the excursionsts arrived in the city yesterday and left on the different afternoon trains for their former homes in north and east Alabama and Georgia. A good proportion of the ex- cursionists have returned to Alabama Georgia and South Carolina to remain. In the waiting room at the union passenger station yesterday shortly after noon there were bout hundred men, women and children who had arrived from the west on the trains coming in before noon and fully one-third of these stated that they had re- turned to stay. Some of them were going to Cullman, Marshall, Etowah, St. Clair and other northeast Alabama counties. They said Texas was a good country, but they had enough of it. As an evidence that they did not intend going back to Texas after the holidays a large number of them did not have return coupons with them, having bought tickets one way only.
 The passenger traffic departments of the different roads handling the western ex- cursionists claim that there will be large movement eastward while the low rates are in effect. The movement to the west has temporarily ceased but it is expected to begin again after the holidays, unless the reports brought back by the westerners now in the southeast to remain here.
