VICTORY FOR DREYFUS
COURT OF CESSATION DECIDES
 ON RugvIsToN.
Supplementary investigation is Or dered to Establish All the Doubt full Points which Have Been
 Basis of Application.

Paris. March 5.--The criminal branch of the Court of Cessation today granted the appeal of Alfred Dreyfus for re" vision of his trial at Rennes.
 The court held that, sdfacient show ing had been made to warrant c reopen ing of the case and ordered supple mentary investigation to establish all the doubtful points which have been the basis for me present application. The de- cision was given at the close of the tniro days hearing. Comparatively little public interest has been taken in the sessions of the court and the room was almost deserted, there being less than fifty persons present. Among these were Maitre Labori, the famous lawyer and several members of the Dreyfus family.
 Most of the day was given to the ad- dress of Maitre Monard one of Dreyfuss
 counsel. He covered much the same
 ground as Attorney General Baudoin and
 Councillor Eyer, arguing that the case
 made against Dreyfus was tissue Of in-
 vention. He closed with an eloquent ap-
 neal. saving that the honor of the army
 and its officers demanded the removal of the stain of this unjust conviction.
 An incident occurred during M. Monard,s address. Counsel referred to
 Dreyfus's great qualities of heart and exalted character and turned toward M. Labori as though making personal ap- peal to have his statement confirmed. Thereupon M. Labori arose and left the court room causing some commotion. M. Labori was quoted as saying in the cor- ridor that he did not wish by his pres l ence to confirm the eulogy pronounced upon his former clients heart and char acter. FoIl0wing M. Monard's address | the court retired. remained cIoseted for | an hour and then returned and gave out l the decision sustaining the appeal for q | revision of the trial and ordering sup | piementafy investigation.
 This decision from the highest tribunal l in France goes a long way towards the | complete rehabilitation of Dreyfus although 1t is not yet final owing to the | extended supplemental investigation | JIeh must follow. The steps, how. ever. are generally regarded as formall' ties for carrying out this favorable at | titude of the court.

Extraordinary Number of Indict-

 centerville, March S-(Special.)-The grand jury of Bibb County made its final report to Judge Moore today and was discharged. The grand jury returned sixty-three indictments which was the largest number found by any grand jury in this county fin recent years. It Is remarkable fact that nearly one-half of the indictments found were either for murder or assault with i,itent to murder. The grand jurors seemed determined to do what they could to put stop to so much crime and bloodshed in Blob Coun- ty. and discharged their duty fearlessly. They made many recommendations con corning the affairs of the county.
 The criminal docket will be taken up next Monday and will continue for two weeks. Quite a number of murder cases have been set for trial; the defendants

Large Audience Witnessed Mediocre
 Performance.
 A good sized audience witnessed a rather poor performance at McDona!d s Theatre lest night. Miss Marie Dale In the three-act comedy, Miss Hursey from Jersey" was very poor as an actress, and her supporting company was not of as high a standard as she. The Dot is laid in Venice and the absence of Vs- netian scenery made the illusion incom- plete. The actors came on the stage and spoke frequently of gondolas and gou- doliers, but it. just happened that they never got in sight of the audience. Ml;s Dale was unsuccessful as a singer.
 The costumes of the show were pretty good but no good looking women were in them to see them off The male DOT ton of the cast Is better than the fe' male portion, but neither is above crlt icisn1.
 Two performances. matinee, and night were gwen yesterday.
