The N. P. Bridge Crossing the
Yellowstone River One Mile East
Of Livingston Blown up Sunday
Morning.
'$2,S00 REWARD FOR THE PARTIES

A special telegram from Livingston
to the Butte Miner, bearing date of
August 2, says:
| AT an early hour this morning. n
desperate attempt was made bv I'M.
known parties to blow up the Northern
Pacific bridge that crosses the Yellow
stone river about one mile east from
this city. Why the effort was unsuc.
cessfu1 can scarcely be understood as
large quantity of dynamite wa. used
and it is said that the charge was we'll
placed in the pier, and by experienced
hands. Had it been successful II is
probable that No. E, eastbound pas
senger train that leaves Livingston
soon after four O'Clock in the morning
would have gone through the opening
and it is likely that many lives would
have been lost.
AT 2:3O this morning Livingston was
awakened by terrific explosion, not
unlike an earthquake shock. The ex.
lights were broken in dwellings OH the
east side of the city and in everv part
OF the town severe shock was exeri
enced. The cause was not known unt;,
about seven O'Clock, when a westbound
freight reported that the bridge was
out OF alignment and appeared to be in
bad order. An investigation followed
which led to the discovery that an ef-
fort had been made to blow out the
center pier. Pieces of the fuse were
found in the locality, and the pier was
badly shattered. The bridge was
thrown out of line, yet No. passenger
train passed over it soon after the ex-
plosion without accident. A force of
men placed the bridge in repair this
forenoon and now trains are passing
over the structure as before.
Officers have been at work on the
case all day, but it is not believed that
any clew to the perpetrators mas been
found. Superintendent Boyle, in be-
half OF the railroad company, offered a
reward of 81, 900 for the apprehension
of the parties and it is expected that
the commissioners of Park county will
increase the reward to $1,000 on the
opening of their session tomorrow.
The motive for such an act cannot he
surmised.
The Northern Pacific company and
the officials of the road have had no
trouble with anyone, and no possible
reason can be assigned for the deed
other than the desire by the parties to
destroy property. 1t is not believed
that the material for the work was
purchased in this city and by MANY it
is thought to have been the work of
tramps who, in travelling through the
country, secured dynamite at some
point and desired to create excitment
by blowing up the bridge.
The structure is a ne steel bridge
with stone and cement piers and was
constructed by the company about
three years ago at a cost exceeding
$4,000

THE DREYFUS CASE.
NO FRESH IAGIT4TION.
If Reopened the affair Viii Be a
Purely Judicial Investigation.

Especial The New-York Tribune by French Cahlel

Paris. April 9--The Dreyfus affair. which,
owing to the bitter determination Of Jean Jaures
TO invalidate the election of NJ Syveton at any
cost, sprang up like Jack the-b box for two
days, has caused all thinking Frenchmen to ask,
rs the Dreyfus case to be reopened?" The
question, by all who in a position ito know
what is passing behind the scenes. must be an
swered emphatically in the negative. Among
those who take this negative view are Waldeck-
Rousseau Ribot. de Freycinet. Paul Deschanel.
Leo Bourgeois. d'Estourneles. Constant and
General de Galliffet. 1t is only Jean Jaures,
Yves Guyot and small group of Radicals and
Socialists who say yes Tonight it is evident.
from the tone of the Paris and provincial press.
that the overwhelming weight of feeling
throughout France is that the nation will not
tolerate another Dreyfus agitation. The Wal
deck k-Rousseau Amnesty law already bars the
way to further agitation and after conversa-
ton this evening with one of the leaders of the
various Republican groups in the Chamber the
situation may be summarized follows: Cen
eral Andre Minister of War may cause purely
administrative investigation TO be made based
upon the alleged suppressed letter of General
Pellieux, accusing his military superiors Of hav-
ing set him 10 work forgeres and other
statements made by NJ Jaures. Should this in
and the Cabinet lead to the disclosure of abso-
lutely new facts, then 1t is possible that purely
technical inquiry will be made by a judicial
commission. and the so-caIled secret dossier
will be communicated 10 the magistrates and the
military officers summoned witnesses be freed
from their obligation of professional secrecy.
But all this is in the distant future. because
the Deputies. leaving Paris for their homes
for the Easter holidays. will soon be in touch
with their constituents, who make it perfectly
clear that they do not want to have the Drey
fus affair reopened Moreover, nothing be
done any way until after the Easter holidays
and after President Loubet's Mediterranean
fetes.
But what will most impress America is in
formation that reaches me from those who stand
very close TO NJ. WaIdeck- Rousseau. the
Premier, to the effect that even if the Dreyfus
case should ultimately be reopened, there would
be no emotional upheavals of the hatred and
strife that rent the nation asUnder five years
ago; but it would be a purely judicial investiga-
ton, on its merits. l assured that this
may be accepted an accurate presentation in
