His Sufferings is Read in Court.Rennes, Aug.16.\u2014The second trial by court-martial of Captain Dreyfus, of the Frereh artillery, charged with tresson, Was Ccntinued this morning, Major Carriere, the representative of the Government, having sefused to agree to the adjournment of the case until Monday, applied for by M.De- mange, counsel for tie prisoner, and Captain Dreyfus, owing to the murderous at- trek vpon Maître Labori, leading counsel tur the defence.The feature of the day's proceedings was the stery of the sufferings of Dreyfus on Devils Island, his prison off the coast of French Guiana.Dreyfus wept in court when the clerk read a document recount- Ing the details of his incarceration, The proceedings opened with the application of M.Demange for an adjournment.This was followed by the deposition of M.Guerin, the former Minister of Justice, who, however, only repeated the evidence he had given before the Court of Cassation.DREYFUS\u2019 KEEPER.M.Lebou, the former Minister of the C'olunies, à Lig, red-bearded man, then tes- titied in justiuicotion of his instructions to treat Dieyfus rigorously, declaring that the extreme stringency only dated from the time he thought an attempt would be made to 1escue the prisener.Colonel Jonaust, president of the court- martial, asked Dreyfus if he had any questions to put to the witness, and he re- piied.in an emotional voice, \u201cNo, I am here to defena my honor.I do not wish to speak of the atrocious suffering which, for five years, I, a Frenchman, and an innocent man, suffered on the Ile du Diable.\u201d M.Demange here asked that the official report of the treatment of Dreyfus on the lie du Diable, which was published In the newspapers last weck, should be read.The clerk of the court did so,, and, lu a sympathetic tone, recounted the harrowing tale of Dreyfus\u2019 mental and physical sufferings and inhuman treatment on the island.Deep drawn breaths of indignation came from the hearers as the reading proceeded.DREYFUS IN TEARS, Dreyfus, at first, watched the faces of the judges with his usual composure, but gradualiv, as the story proceeded, and incidents of his awful existence were brought up before him, his eves drew dim and tears glistened in them.Then they slowly trick- ird dcwn ht cheeks.Dreyfus could stand ir no longer, and, for the first time during Lis trial, gave way to such emotions and sitent!lv yeent, The faces of the audience expressed sympathy with the prisoner's emotion, and even the captain of gendarmes sitting beside Dreyfus, turned and gave hin a look of vrceoncealed compassion.General Mercier, who, with M.Lebon, was seated in the front row of the witnesses\u2019 seats, listened to the reading of the report unmoved, while Col.Jouaust followed it with an air of bored tolerance.M.Lebon afterward returned to the stanr and added a few more words in justifica tion of his conduct, and then Col.Jouaust ordered the next witness to be brought in.WIDOW OIF COL.HENRY.All eves were turned towards the door on the right of the stage and, a moment later.the form of a woman, dressed in deer mourning, appeared in the doorway, and.iccompanied by a non-commissioned officer, advanced to the platform.It was the widow of Colonel Henry, the French ofli- cer who committed suicide in prison after confessing to forging certain documents in the case.With pale face and hand upraised before the crucifix, she took the oath to tell the truth.Madame Henry is o\u2019 medium height, and has a common cast of features, and certainly could not be described as attractive.She at once put her self at ease, leaning forward with botr hands resting on the rail of the witness stand.In an attitude of complete self-pos- session she gave her evidence, accompanying the words with frequent geslures, Her evidence.however, was of little weight.She admitted the froquent visits ef Exterhazy to her husband, and declared her husband told her he had forged one document \u2018\u2018in order to save the honor of the country.\u201d She gave her evidencé tn a very matter of fact way and was in no wise the sympathetic figure the unti-Drey- fusards have tried to make ler.General Roget, in undress uniform, followed.His evidence was a vitrolic diatribe against Dreyfus from beginning to end.The court adjourned until to-morrow or the conclusion of Gen.Roget's monologue DREYFUS\u2019 ONLY PROTEST.Col.Jouaust previously asked Dreyfus if he wished to say anything, and the prisoner who, during the time of Gen.Roget's fulmination against him, several times made a movement as if to rise and retort, bu was waved down by Col.Jouaust, rose and, in the voice which is not agreeable in ordinary times, but, when strangled with emotion, as it was to-day, has a 1 rilling effect on his hearers, he cried, crushing his kepi in his hands: \u2018My colonel, it is a frightful thing that every day they tear out my heart and soul without my being able to reply.\u201cIt is awful torture for an innocent man and a loyal soldier.\u201cIt is a frightful thing.Frighttul, frightful.\u201d The audience, profoundly stirred, Legar to applaud, but the applause was quickls suppressed.M.Demange then announced that he would question General Roget to- Imorrow.The following is the evidence in detail : Ex-Minister of Justice Guerin, the frst witness, sald he kfiew absolutely nothing of the facts in the case, but could repeat the surrounding circumstances, which had already been related before the Court of Cassation, if the court-martial desired.DREYFUS ACCUSED.Col.Jouaust having explained to the witness that the court-martial had no cognizance of previous proceedings, M.Guerin rroceeded to repeat his evidence as given before the Court of Cassation, saying that at the end of October, after a Cabinet Council, the Premier invited him to his room, where General Mercier joined them and explained that for some time past documents had been missing from the head- quarcers staff, aud that, in consequence of M.4 =a\u2014\u2014mem$; enquiries made, wuspicion attached to Dreyfus.MERCIER GIVES REASONS.General Mercier, the witness continued, added that Le was convinced Dreyfus was the cu!prit.He said he founded his conviction on ttiéee \u2018facts : First, the border- cau, the author of which was undiscover- able until Col.Fabre, on returning from th> manoenvres, immediately after he saw the document, exclaimed, Why, it is Dreyfas* Fandwriting.\u201d Secondly, (lie nature of the \u2018documents enumerated in bordereau, in conjunction with Dreyfus\u2019 employment in different departments, proved conclusively, according to General Mercier, that Dreyfus alone had cognizance of ak these papers, and he alone could have disclosed them.Thirdly, the dictation test and Dreyfus\u2019 pertuberation at the time., Geuerul Mercier, M.Guerin then said, in consequence of these convictions, declared his intention to ask the Cabinet to authorize the prosecution of Dreyfus.A special Cabinet session was held to con- ¢ider the matter.November 1, 1804, The witness forgot whether M.Casimir-Perier or NM.Dupuy presided.General Mercier handed the Cabinet nothing but the bor- derenu.PROSECUTION ORDERED.After the Minister of War had related his reasons for his suspicions the Cabinet unanimously aunthorized the prosecution of Droeytus.M.Hanotaux alone made some reserves or diplomatic objections, based on the piace where the document was found.Put it was agreed that in the event of court-martialling Dreyfus measures should Fe taken to prevent mention of the name of div power.Irom that dav the witness had learned nothing whatever of the case personally, as it was in the hands of the military authorities.M.Guerin, at that time, had never heard of the secret documents, and none Was ever communicated to the Cabinet.Fe only learned of the existence of the alieged secret documents during the trini, and only learned of the alleged confession cf Dreyfus to Captain Lebrun-Ren- nault from the newspapers.General Mercier never mentioned the confession to the Cabinet.COL.JOUAUST'S QUESTIONS, Col.Jouaust then questioned the witness, s£ying : \u2018M.Goubert, an expert, has declared you sunimoned him to your office to give you information about the Dreyius affair.Do you remember the occurrence?Did he not say, on entering.pointing to the clock: \u2018Monsieur le Ministre de Justice, I fear lest at this Hour a grave mistake is being committed.\u2019 \u201cIs it not a fact that you did not reply, but when M.Gobert wags leaving, recommended him to observe extreme caution, as the Government was desirous of Keeping the treason secret, dreading par- tienlarly indiscretions upon the part of the press, and, above all, upon the Libre Patrol, as the suspected officer was a Jew,\u201d M.Guerin replis1 : \u2018I cannot aftirm whether or not I recelved M.(ohert, but 1 can affirm that if he came I did not employ the langvage mentioned, and I made none of the statements he attributes to me.\u2019 TORTURES WERE WARRANTED.M.Lebon, former Minister of the Colonies, was then summoned to testify regarding his treatment of the prisoner.He said that when the Cabinet was asked to intervene in favor of a revision he thought the executive shovla not interiere with the judiciary, and his respect for the Chose Jugee was strengthened by his personal opinion of the culpability of the condemned.\u2018On my soul and conscience,\u201d declared Lebon, dramatically, \u201cI say I regard the measures 1 took relative to the pris- cuer on the Isle du Diable as warranted, and if I had to repeat them I could not hesitate.\u201d M.Lebon then explained the reasons for the rigorous measures against Dreyfus.He said a certain telegram sent to French Guiana disappeared.It was traced out of France.but immediately it reached the Iinglish lines it disappeared, showing, the witness said, that efforts were being made to enable the prisoner to evade the regulations.Rigoreus, even painful, measures were therefore taken to prevent his escape.M.Lebon therefore issued orders that \u2018if necessary, the prisoner was to be fired upon.\u201d (Sensaton.) Continuing, M.Lebon said he also issued orders that only copies of the letters addressed to the prixoner should he delivered to him, the originals being detained.The witness was informed, August 10, that an American vessel passed the Isles du Salut, and orders were then issued that Dreyfus wis to be shot on the slightest alarm.DEMANGE INTERRUPTS.Referring to the Weyler forgery, M.Le- bor said he frankly admitted that he De- lieved in its anthenticity, as did Colonel Picquart, until long after its production.M.Lebon then referred to the numerous rough drafts the prisoner made of his letters before finally despatching them.At this point M.Demange interrupted the witness and said: \u201cI passed from surprise to surprise.Yesterday it was a witness playing the part of prosecutor.Today one witness defends himself by saying his conscience is tranquil.He is welcome to a tranquil conscience.But ask him if he finds it surprising that this man.alone out there on a lost island.should havre poured out his soul on paper?I ask again, why vou allowed the forged Wevler letter.in which a handwriting was indicated to reach Dreyfus?\u201d To this M.Lebon replied: \u201cWe could not give up the original, but the idea never occurred to any agents of the administration to subject Dreyfus to the savage and atrocious treatment which has been spoken of.\" a Lol.Jouaust, addressing Drexfus, asked ia you receive the letter just referred 0° Dreyfus replied: \u201cYes, my colonel, * \u201cWhat impression did it \u2018make on vou\u201d \u201cI understood nothing of what it contained.\u201d answered the prisoner.(Sensation.) The Weyler letter referred to above was intended to convey the impression that Dreyfus was in communication with outside sympathizers.i , At this juncture some time was occupied in reading a long renort from the Minister of Colonies to the Minister of War, giving the various reports of the Governor of French Guiana.Passages deseribing the dread the prisoner expressed to the doctors when he feared he was losing his reason caused an immense impression.Tears were even seen to glisten in the eves of Gen.Millot, the former Minister of War.M.LEBON EXPLAINS.At the conclusion of the report, M.Iebon asked leave to explain.He said : \u201cI do not dispute the accuracy of the report, but it is partial.Reference has been most carefully made to the precarious health of the prisoner, but the doctor never mnde a communication to me on the subject.I do not hesitate to say that if he had done so, 1 shouid have given orders to have the prisoner treated as all invalids should be treated.It is with deliberate intent that I have been treated as an executioner.\u201d Colonel Jouaust, turning to Drerfus.then remarked :\u2014\u2018\u201cHave vou anything to say in regard to this denosition ?\u201d Then the prisoner said :\u2014\u2018\u201cNo, my colonel.I am here to defend myx honor.1 do not wish to speak here of the atrocious suffering.physical and moral.which.for five years, I, a Frenchman, and an innocent man, was subjected to on he Isle du Diuble.\"\u201d The remarks of Dreyfus caused intense excitement in court.The prisoner uttered the words in a loud voice and with tremendous energy.which created a profound sensation.MADAME HENRY TESTIFIES.The audience had not recovered from the ry rye SEES.TST \u201cPE EN \u2014 PRICE ONE CENT.emotion caused by this scene when Madame Heury, iu deep mourning, appeared in court and entered the witness bux amid profound silence.Col.Jouaust, addressing this witness, said :\u2014\" We thought, madame, that your life in common with your husbund has placed you in a position to give interesting information.I beg you to tell the court what you know.\u201d Madame Henry deposed that towards the end of September, 1594.after dinner.one evening, her husband told her a paper had been handed him as being very important.The witness added : \u2018As he did not return l retired about eleven o'clock, and 1 asked lim when Le returned why he was later than usual.He undid a narrow, transparent roll of paper, and said : \u2018There is à serious matter here, which I have been requested to investigate this evening.\u2019 **Shortly afterwards he re-entered the room, holding papers and a letter which he had just pieced together.He placed them all in his hat in order not to forget them in the morning.He left on horseback as customary, the following morning, saying he had to see Colonel Sandherr as soon as possible.\u201d What was his impression on seeing the bordereau?\u201d asked Col.Jouaust.The witness replied that he, Colonel Henry, did not know the author of it, but said perhaps .Colonel Fabre or Colonel D\u2019Abeville knew.\u201d IGHT SYSTEM tng.a Introduced by C.P.R., Which Means 24 Hours\u2019 Saving in Freight Delivery HAS- BEEN FULLY TESTED In Toronto, Where Interesting Opera tions Have Been in Progress Some Time.The Canadian Pacific Railway Company have adopted a new system of freight handling, by which the officials of the company claim they can save from 12 to 24 hours in the delivery of freight throughout Ontario.The system is as ingenious as it is laborsaving, and has ncw been in operation for over two months, and may therefore be said to have been thoroughly tested.The test has now brought it to what is regarded as pretty near perfection.The officials of the company are greatly pleased with the success of the scheme, and are preparing to put it into force at the other large freight centres on its line.The company\u2019s sheds at the foot of Simcoe street, Toronto, present a scene of great activity.Over 500 tons of freight are rorward- ed to outside points every day, and it is all handled easily and carefulty.The packages are trucked direct from the dray to the car, and nothing is stored in the sheds.Each morning seventy empty freight cars are placed in position on the north side of the freight shed.Each car is numbered according to its destination, and the {freight is marked, as it leaves the dray, with the number of its car and also the number ot the porter or trucker who handles it.About twenty-five of the cars are marked \u2018\u2018empty,\u201d and tlese are used when one of the others becomes filled up.Freight is received from the drays at fourteen doors.At each où these stands a checker, and these individuals form the most important feature of the system.They check each parcel of freight on the bill of lading, and also mark on it the rumber of the car and the number of the perter.The freight is then weighed and put into the car.: The great advantsge of this system i# that the freight is not stored at all, but is delivered direct from the factory or warehouse to the car.A dray-load of pianos was received at one of the doors Jesterday afternoon.These were addressed to Winnipeg,, Chatham, Smith's Falls and Hamilton.The first was fun to car 43, the second to car 1v, \u2014\u2014\u2014 8 Lumber Vessels Found to Contain Large Quantities of Other Goods.FRUIT, TOBACCO, CIGARS.About Fifteen Thousand Dollars: Worth Seized in a Couple of Days -Heavy Fines Imposed.Some days ago Mr.H.McLaughlin, customs inspector, learned that certain ships coming here for loads of lumber for United State ports, on the lakes, were not so empty as they seemed.He accordingly spent two days examining each vessel as it passed the canal locks, and in nearly all he found packages of fruit, tobacco, cigars or cigarettes, and made seizures to the total value of ten or fifteen thousand dollars.The customs authorities at Ottawa were communicated with, and it Is understood that confiscation of the goods seized has been ordered, and heavy fines imposed on the ship owners.The Government has the right to confiscate the ships altogether if it chooses._\u2014_\u2014\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.NORTON'S CORRECTION An Error on the Part of a Newspaper Caused a Misunderstanding He Has Taken All the Organ-~-Playing

MINES.Ottawa Owners Ask Quebec Attorney-General to Take Effective Measures for Suppression of Marauders.i Ottawa, August 15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The 4t- torney-General of Quebec has been communicated with by a number of Ottawa owners of mica mines in Ottawa county, who complain that an organized gang of mica exploiters has been overrunning their properties and disposing of the stealings.Rumors of mica stealing from the rich deposits in Ottawa county have been current in and about the Capital for some time.The properties affected are located fn the townships of Denham, Buckingham and Portland.These districts being particularly liable to such inroads, as they are far from lines of railway and are difficult of access.The Ottawa men interested had been aware for some time past that the output reported from Ottawa could not possibly come from the mines which are being worked.Thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of mica in excess of the outpat of the mines now working have been brought to this city and sent to the United States for use in electrical plants.Investigations were quietly institued, the result being that traces of deliberate mica stealing are said to have been found.According to the best information obtainable up to the present, parties of men,~usually four or five in number, traverse the district and when an exceptionally good \u2018show\u2019 \u2018is seen they place a \u201cshot,\u201d tear up the surface and cart away the mineral thrown up.In most cases the main features by which the indications of the mine are traced are defaced, making the property less saleable.Local mine owners promise startling developments as the result of the enquiry which it is thought the Attorney-General will carry through.It is alleged that there Is an organized company in this city for ihe express purpose of disposing of the mica stolen as described above.The four were loaded in their respective cars in less than five minutes from the iime of the arrival of the dray.As soon as a car for a particular point or section is filled it is taken out and one of the empties is used for furiher parcels of freight to that destination.This process be- ging at seven o\u2019clock in the morning and goes on all day.Freight is loaded almost as fast as it is received, and when the last dray is unloaded at six o'clock in the afier- noon, the cars are ready for their respective trains.No freight is left behind in the sheds.The freight trains are made up in the evenings, and are enabled always to leave on time with their full complement of cars.The officials in charge of the Toronto freight offices claim that they are able to save from 12 to 24 hours in the delivery of freight at various points throughout the province.Un- FATAL FIRE IN TORONTO Woman Who Jumped From Building Will Probably Die, A Fireman Also Badly Injured By Fall ing Down an Elevator Shaft.Building Fully Insured, der the old system freight was stored in the sheds first and then loaded into cars, when these were run up to the door.The result was that the men often worked until mid- : night in loading the day's freight.Now everything is ready for the trainmen by eight o'clock at the latest, and all freight delivered at the sheds before six o'clock leaves Toronto for its destination early in the evening.The system means easier work and shorter hours for the treckmen, safer handling of : gocds and quicker delivery of the at its destination.reight \u2018 BOY MORTALLY WOUNDED Much Mystery Surrounds the Shooting of a Son of Ald.George Stephens, of Chatham Chatham, Ont., Aug.15 \u2014At the summer residence of Ald.George Stephens, a prominent business man of this city, at Erie Beach, fourteen miles from here, his son, aged 15 years, was mortally wounded by a rifle shot.The ball entered the abdomen.There is a great mystery about the shooting.Later particulars from the scene may develop a sensation.GO TO THE WEST INDIES.The Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) to Ieave Halifax Early in November.Halifax, N.S., August 16.\u2014Orders were received to-day for the 1st Battalion of the Leinster Regiment, Royal Canadians, to be - held in readiness tor

manufacturers, at 120 Bay street.were partially destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.There were three men.two boys and one woman employed on the third floor, whence flames issued.Escape by the stairway was threatened by flame.The men, however, risked it, and slid down the bannister.Miss Cronyn had not the nerve to follow.She went to the window and cried for help.A mattress was placed in position, and Miss Croryn told to jump, which she did, and lit on the mattress.She was taken to the hospital, where it was found that her back was badly burned, her hair destroyed and her ankle sprained.The doctors say that Miss Cronyn will likely die, as she is injured internally, and has suffered a great shock.She is 27 years of age, and lives at 60 Walmer road.The fire was soon got under control.The building is owned by Sanderson Pearcy and is damaged to the extent of $2,500, and fully insured in the Quebec Company.The stock was damaged to the extent of $3,500, and is partly covered by insurance in the Caledonian and Quebec Companies.It is thought the fire originated in the basement.Fireman Jno.Lee, of Lombard street section, fell from the third storey to the -cellar down the elevator shaft.Thomas Hanse, an employe, was badly burned on the arm.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BY FAST STEAMERS.Premier of Prince Edward Island Arranges For a Direct Service Between Charlottetown and Liverpool.Ottawa.Ont., August 16.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Hon.Donald Farquharson, Premier of Prince Ei.| ward Tsland.is in Ottawa arranging with the Minister of Marine for the establishment of a direct steamship service between Charlottetown and Liverpool.The contract, which is said to be as good as closed.provides for fortnightly sailings from the sland by steamships.of about 4.000 tons to be equipped with cold storage for the transportation of butter, cheese and other perishable freight, the service to commence about the 6th of September.The subsidy voted by Parliament last session for this service was $7,000.It will give island SMUGGLERS CAUGHT of musie,\u201d and also all the organ-playing.I never claimed to have finally taken .shippers the advantage of cold storage accommodation at freight rates as low as prevail from Montreal.Hon.Mr.Farquharson estimates that trith the enhanced output of dairy produce and excellent yield of crops in general this Year sutlicient will be offered for expor: to give the stenmer a full cargo each trip.The vessel will.of course, have the option of taking cargo to and from Montreal so long ns the requirements of the Island trade are amply met.The lobster catch of I\u2019rince Edward Island, the Premier says, bas been a fairly satisfactory one this season.He declined to discuss the new regulations except to pid that the reduction in size was impera- ive.Hon.Mr.Farquharson will leave for home to-morrow, and will probably be accom panied by Sir Louis Davies, who will make the trip to Prince Edward Island to recuperate after the arduous work of the session, \u2014 THINK LABORI IS BETTER.Wounded Lawyer Passed an Easier Night and His Condition To-day is More Reassuring.Rennes, August 16.\u2014M.Labori

MONTREAL, This Is the Fastest Vessel Running Regularly to This Port.The new Allan line steamship Bavarian finished a most successful trial trip yesterday, averaging 17 1-4 knots for a distance of 240 miles.This is 19.86 miles per hour.She sails from Liverpool for Montreal on August 24th, and will sail regularly in the Montreal trade afterwards.The Bavarian is the fastest steamship which has ever run regularly to Montreal, The Dominion line steamship Canada, which on two trips here in the fall of 1896 was about the same speed, perhaps the least Dit slower.The Bavarian will sail from Liverpool on a Thursday afternoon and will reach Quebec the following Wednesday, under fuvorabie conditions, and Thursday under the ordinary conditions.The ship will Le in Montreai on Friday morning.For passengers to Canada this will be really a faster service than a 20- knot ship to New York, as there is on an average 24 hours lost from the landing at New York until arrival at Montreal.In three mouths\u2019 time the same company will have another steamship launched, the Tunisian, which will be still faster than the Bavarian, and will be engaged in the Montreal trade.The Tunisian is dated to leave Liverpool on November 2.The new steamers Bavarian and Tunis- fan are in all essential particulars duplicates of each other, ther specifications for both steamers being the same in all respects.They were built by Messrs.Denny & Co., of Dumbarton, and Messrs.Alexander Stephen & Son.of Linthouse.Their keels are 500 feet long, their length over all or from knight heads to taffrail, being about 520 feet, their beam 60 feet and their depth 36 feet, with a registered tonnage of 10,000 tons.Besides the passenger accommodation for 350 first and second class, and say 500 steerage, there is room for 8,000 tons of cargo.These vessels were built to accommodate the increasing passenger and freight traffic to and from Canada, and, if necessary, carry the mails.At present the mails are being carried by Elder, Dempster & Co.'s stéamers.The tenders for the next two years\u2019 service are now in, but the contract has not been awarded.HITIN EYE WITH A STONE Five Year Old Ottawa Girl Partially Blinded by an Angry Neighbor, Ottatwa, August 15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Two cases where children have lost the use of their eves accidentally have occurred here with\u2018n the past few days.In both cases the circumstances were peculiar.Mira Tapp, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr.Ado!lphus Tapp, of Young street, Hintonburg, had her left eve knocked out by a stone thrown by littlte Johnny D'Agathe, a neigbbor\u2019s child.Mira came out of her home eating a piece of cake, which she held in her hand.Johnny, who also is about 5 years old, was attracted by the cake, and asked her for some.She did not like to give any.and Johnny was so angry at being refused that he bit her in the eye with a stone.The eye had to be removed.Another accident involving the loss of an eye happened to Harry Devine, son of Mv.I.Devine, of Centre street, Hintonburg.Harry, in company with some companions, had found some dynamite caps used 1m connection with the blasting on the Hin- tonburg waterworks system.The Dboys were anxious to see the caps explode.One of the caps was placed upon a rock, and another stone was thrown at it.The result was an explosion, and a ery from young Devine.The

Thefts.Joliette, August 18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The robbery of the sum of $7,000 from the cellar of the Dominion Express Company at the C.P.R.depot here is still as mysterious as it was the first moment of its discovery, except that evidences have been found which indicate that it was the work of professional cracksmen.In the freight shed adjoining the depot there have been found a quantity of burglars\u2019 tools, including a can of dynamite or gunpowder, an electrical appliance such as used by burglars for timing an explosion, is used by burglars for timing an explosion, This makes it appear as though one or two men or more had decided on blowing open the safe, which was supposed to contain considerable money, and which had not been open for eight days because the lock was out of order.The news of the safe not being opened spread over the town and district, so that in case burglars were lurking about with their ears open they could not fail to become PA a with the facts.The theorf, then, of most people is that the men declded on giving the express au thorities a little assistance in their efforts to get the safe open, so either on Sunday or Monday the gunpowder and appliances were hidden in the shed preparatory to the intended safe-blowing on Monday night, On Monday the Banque Nationale branch at this town sent over to the express company a package containing $20,000 for shipment to Quebec, but it was returned to the bank with the message that until the safe was put in good order such sums could not be taken so far in advance of train time, us there was no safe place to put the money.This story was soon street gossip, and if the theory about the watchful hurglars be right, one or two took up the game by keeping an eye on every move of the express and railroad employes.SEVEN THOUSAND ARRIVES.On the arrival of the evening train from Montreal on Monday a package containing $7,000 was received, and this had to remain in the hands of Agent Gignac until morning.Mr.Gignac worked until ten o'clock at night, trying to open the safe.Then he gave it up and decided to go home.For months there have beep robberies at homes and in the streets of Joliette, and he was afraid to risk taking so large a sum with him, particularly as the depot is in a very isolated spot.He, thereforg, ,went to the cellar, and decided on placing.the package in a hole in the chimney.his custom since the safe became useless to hide valuable packages in an old furnace, but he now decided to change the hiding- place, and he went home thoroughly satisfied that the $7,000 was safe.DOORS OPEN\u2014MONEY GONE.Yesterday morning, when Mr.Gignac arrived at the depot, he was surprised to find the front door of the depot open.A moments\u2019 enquiry told him that none of the office hands had arrived hefore himself.Nothing was disturbed in the office, and his first thought was naturally of the valuable package in the cellar.Downstairs he went, found that it was gone.An alarm was quickly given, and the village authorities were kept on the lookout for suspicious personages.If, however, they pere professional cracks- men who had done the job, they were by this time well out of the way, as doubtless the money was secured almost as soon as Mr.Gignac left at 10 o'clock, and they had, therefore, about nine hours\u2019 start.A careful inspection of the premises was made, and this showed that beyond any doubt the burglar or burglars had been in and to his horror It had beon- hiding in the building when Mr.Gignac | locked the door.It had been opened from the Inside, and there was not another sign of any description to show that anyone had entered or | Jett the office, except by the main door, | the one locked by the agent and found op2n | on his arrival, FINDING THE TOOLS.Yesterday afternoon Edward Poirier, a clerk in the freight shed, was counting some money in the shed when a fifty-cent piece fell to the floor and rolled into a crevice.The boards near this crevice were loose and were easily removed.Some strange packages met his gaze, and, thinking that he had found the money.he pulled them out.First came a dozen sticks of dynamite, then some cartridges, next some fuses, such as are used for exploding gun powder.Then he found a twenty-five-ponnd caddy of gun-powder ani an cleetric clock, by which an explosion could be timed afrer the fuse was lighted.As may be imagined, the discovery made a great sensation in Joliette, and crowds of people soon flocked to the scene.Among them was Mr.Edwar& Lauzon, a town stonecutter.He at once recognized the powder and electric clock as having been stolen from him some few days previously.He wanted his property returned to him.but the detectives took charge of it for the time being.DETECTIVES AT WORK.Three detectives are here and they are working hard.Their theory bears out the story just told and telegraph despatches have been sent out asking that suspicious characters should be held and searched.The money: was all In bills of small de- nominations, and the police believe that an attempt will Le made to pass some of it.The detectives arrived yesterday afternoon, in company with Mr.Stewart.of the Dominion Express Company.Mr.Stewart has himself made a most careful enquiry into the facts, and it is said that he believes in the theory of the professional burglars having been locked up by Agent Gignac.NEARLY $20,000 LOST.It is now about three years since a | package of $9,000 mysteriously disappeared | trom the Joliette office of the Dominion ; Express Company.Detectives Carpenter and McCaskill were put on the case and | they ran down clue after clue, but with- \"out success.The young man was placed \"under striet surveillance, but nothing was found to connect him with the robbery.The next robbery took place about tlirce months ago.This time the sum secured was 83,500, and not a trace of this was ever found by the police o# the express authorl ties, \u2019 Now comes the loss of $7,000, making £19, 500 in less than three years.Mr.E.S.Gignac.the agent of the: com- | pany, is very highly esteemed here.Ha came from St.Anne de la Parade about year ago, and has made many friends.A NEW FEAR.To-day every effort is being made to open the safe.\u201cIt is suggested that possibly the contents were removed nine days ago, and the combination purposely broken so that detection would not follow for some time.What the contents are or were is not made known, but experts are now work- ng to open the safe.CITY DETECTIVES ENGAGED.Detectives Lamouche and McLaughlin, of the City Detective Department, have been engaged on the case since yesterday morning.Chief Carpenter is out of town, and will not be home until to-morrow.ANOTHER RATE WAR \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 per Is Now Threatened By a Big Erie Cut Which Comes Into Force to-morrow.C.P.R.AND G.T.R, DRAWN IN Official View of the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific on the Situation.Once again a serious rate war, into which the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific are likely to be drawn, is imminent.A telegram received here frem Chcago to-day states that to-morrow the Erie Railroad will announce a rate of $18.45 for the round trip between Chicago and New York.There is at present no round trip between Chicago and New York, the standard rate each way being $20.The rate to be made by the Erie is, therefore, less than single fare.The Erie propose to make corresponding rates for all intermediate points to New York.It is the general opinion, says the Chicago despatch, that the action of the Erie will stir up the liveliest kind of a fight on rates between Chicago and New York.If the despatch is correct, said Mr.Vaux, assistant passenger agent of the Grand Trunk, this morning, \u201cit will affect us to some extent, but exactly how or in what shape we are not in a position to state.Mr.Davis, the general passenger agent, 1s now in Boston attending a meeting of the New England Passenger Association, and until his return we are unable to say anything further on the matter.\u201d \u201cThe dispute,\u201d said Mr.C.E.E.Ussher, general passenger agent of the C.P.R., arises among the lines running between Chicago, Portland and Boston, and from points from which tickets can be sold via Boston, Both the C.P.R.and G.T.R.are interested to a certain extent.At present we are simply waiting until the situation develops.The tourist business just now is so exceptionally good that it would be bad policy to make any change in rates.So far as the cut of the Erie company is concern- cd, it will have no local effect whatever.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WILL SAIL THE SHAMROCK.London, Aug.16.\u2014As Emperor William's yacht Meteor has

August 15\u2014Dr.Kendall, M.P.P., Cape Breton, has arrived in Ottawa from the Atlantic coast, where he has been conducting experiments on his new cold storage process for the preservation of fresh fish without freezing or the use of chemicals.He succeeded in keeping lobsters for thirty days in perfect condition.He believes he has thus solved the problem of a remunerative trade in fresh fish between the Maritime and Upper Provinces.But the doctor's most ambitious project is one for the establishment of cold storage stations along the coast for bait fishes, This has got so well under way that before long he expects to have a line of these stations in operation shortly from Anticosti to Cape Sable.At the session just closed Parliament voted a subsgantial sum towards the scheme.Dr.Kendall is here to make a progress report to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries.teases 85TH BATTALION SHOOT Laprairie Ranges Yesterday Were Used by This Battalion \u2014Oaptain Brosseau

head, and she has ever since been identified with the work.In the spring of 1869 Miss Tinkham spent a iew days in the country, rejoicing in the flowers that burst into fragrant bloom under the magical breath of April.Upon returning to Boston she observed with what wistful eyes the children playin about, the railroad station viewed the flo ors she brought with her, and how eagerly they accepted those she offered them.This jncident led her to urge the church-going people to cooperate in collecting and distributing flowers.A meeting was held and the work soon started.Boston is, therefore, the

Mr, A.C.Clark, and Mr.James Jorknston.Dr.MacTaggart\u2019s term of service as medical superintendent having expired, Dr.Von Eberts, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Medical Roard, was appointed to succeed hin.Repairs had been made to the ambulances, but they had heen in such incessant demand, while the streets had heen in wretched disrepair, increasing ordinary wear and tear, that they must inevitably face their institution in the near future at a cost of £2,000.They were indebted to Messrs.A.Jennings & Co.for the handsome present of rubber tires for one of the ambulances.Mr.Charles Alexander, on lis cighty-third birthéay, presented his portrait to the in- stirution.The managers reminded the sub- scrihers and the publie that they had not overlooked the necessity that existed for the cnhancement of their revenue, and procurement of funds was suggested br the holdine of a bazaar in September or October, 1900, hy whick they believe they would realize $30,000 to the credit of the™ hosnital.The whole of the reports were unanimously adopted.and on the motion of Mr.J.Crathern.a vote of thanks was accorded Mr.Alexander for his portrait.Mr.McNamee seconded the motion.The chairman said it was very gratifving to observe the continued interest whieh the public were taking in the welfare of the General Hosnital.but he wished more of them wonld attend these meetings, Mr.Phillips said: \u201cThe puffie knows thie management of the hospital is in good hands.\u201d Mr.Richard White moved that arrangements should be made with the Brownies to give an entertainment in Montreal in ni] of the funds of the General ITospital.ie motion was seconded by Mr, Copland and carried \"nnanimously.ODDFELLOWS\u2019 OFFICERS Annual Elections Took Place Yesterday -Rebekah Assembly Also Names its Officers.Representatives of the thirty-one subordinate lodges of the Independent Order of Gäd- fellows and officers and past masters of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, held their twentieth annual session yesterday and last nig*t, in Wellington Lodge room, corner of Seigneur and Notre Dame streets, and elected these executive officers for the ensuing term: Grand master\u2014Mr.A.H.Eager, Farnham.Deputy grand masters\u2014Mr.L.E.Charbon- nell, Cookshire.Grand warden\u2014Mr.Alexander Grant, Mont- real.Grand treasurer\u2014Mr.John Shirlow, Montreal.Grand secretary\u2014Mr.T.J.Potter, Montreal.- - Grand representative\u2014Mr.A.W.Staveley, P.G.M., Montreal.Mr.Potter was re-elected by acclamation.The officers-elect were installed last night by Past Grand Master Staveley, after which the delegates and officers were entertained | at a banquet.| It has been decided to hold the next an- | nual session in Beaver Lodge rooms, next | August.!

HEROES OF SPANISH WAR Seventeen Thousand of Them Have Applied for US.Pensions.Authorities Refuse to Consider Anye thing But Gunshot Wounds and Permanent Disabilities.Washington, Auz.15.\u2014Pensions

Statesman; If Bryan Loses He Is Free From His Thrall.Washington, Aug.15.\u2014Mr.Croker\u2019s conversation is still a topic of much discussion.l'eople who would like to find a reason for it have advanced the theory that inasmuch as Mr.Croker spent a week in the company of Mr.Reed on the steamer returning to America he has been convert ed by the man from Maine, which is in- geniods, but hardly plausible.It is true that Mr.Reed is bitterly opposed te expansion, hut it has never been suspected that Mr, Reed entertained a very exalted opinion of Mr.Bryan's abilities, certainly not high enough to convert Mr.Croker to the belief that Mr.Bryan is the greatest man America has produced.The more generally entertained theory is that Mr.Croker has come to the concg1- sic that Mr.Bryan is sure to receive the ncmination, and that being the case it is useless for Tammany to fight against the inevitable.If Mr.Bryan should be elected Mr.Creker would get all the credit from being on the winning side; if Mr.Bryan is defeated, which is doubtless Mr.Crokg = honest belief, Mr.Bryan is no more a.als- turbing element, as few men are strong enough to survive a second defeat.Yo Mr.Croker is in a sort of \u2018heads I win, tails you lose\u201d position, and whatever happens he personally is not hurt by the outcome, which is the very acme of practical polities.feet STILL STONE THE

in the Herreshoft ; Works for the America\u2019s Cup defender Columbia, An urgent contract has been given to the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and steel diaphragms of greater strength and dian- cter than those used in the mast which collapsed off Newport last month will be forwarded as quickly as they can be made ready, the evident intention being to have the new mast stepped for use off Sandy Hook next month.\u2019 The plates are three-eighths of an inch thick, one-fortieth greater than in the old mast, and the extra weight of the new spar will be balanced by corresponding gains in topmast, club topsail pole and spinnaker boom, which will be made of steel instead of the Oregon pine now used.The new club topsail pole should weigh ; 275 pounds less than the pine spar, while an even greater saving will be effected in the weight of the spinnaker boom.A forty-cight-foot Oregon pine topmast, fitted for housing into the new steel mast, | is now at Walker's Cove with other spare | spars, for use with pine or steel mainmasts.This topmast is much lighter, though thicker and stronger than the topmast which broke when the spreaders gave way in the race with Defender off Newnort.| The total saving of weight aloft by the substitution of steel wherever possible will cause Columbia to hee! less in a stiff breeze, and enable her to carry with case the extra large suit of racing sails Herreshoff has prepared for the decisive contests with Shamrock.The old steel mast, which may be stepped again this week, will be used until the new mast is ready, and then held in reserve for contingencies.It is declared that thicker plates are being used in splicing it at the point where it broke, and an extra angle iron will be put into the repaired section for stiffening purposes.The rivetting of the spliced section will be completed by Thursday, and Columbia may then come up to have her Oregon nine mast taken out.Yesterday a new derrick was set up on the north pier of the Herreshoff works to take the place of the old spars which fell nearly two months ago and narrowly miss ed cutting in twain Columbia's steel gaff, then lving on the wharf.When all the proposed changes in Colum: bin's rigging are completed she will be ten minutes faster than Defender over a thirty- niile course, Herreshoff workmen say.THI TORONTO RACES.Toronto, Aug.15\u2014The second day's events of

O\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Philadelphians Almost Double Montreal's Score.eV SATURDAY'S LACROSSE, The Columbia Has a New Steel Mast\u2014 Fast Work on the Track at Saratoga and Highland Park.Poor play marked the commencement of the game between the Belmont Cricket Club, of Philadelphia, and the Montreal team, which took piace on the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association grounds yesterday afternoon.It was good cricket weather, and the wicket seemed to play fairly true; yet there was ns seriow exhibition of batting on either side.Cregar's 29, the top score of the day, was compiled by means of a few lucky swipes, and there were only two other doubles on either side in the first innings.Some credit for the low scoring must be given to the bowlers, Cregar and King puzzled the Montreal batsmen considerably, the general opinion being that each of these players can make his ball curve in the air, after the manner of a baseball pitcher.Philpott's bowling on the Montreal side was little short of perfect, and he deserved the ovation which his enthusiastic friends accorded him.His analysis shows eight wickets for thirty-eight runs.The Montreal field was weak in certain places, particularly at one point; but, on the othier hand, excellent werk was done by Godwin, Hill, Sou- tham and a few others.The Belmont field- Ing was excellent, although the \u2018extra\u2019 figures are out of proportion with the rest.Montreal went in first, but made no stand, Gilbert, Hill and Philpott getting out just as the hopes of their admirers were beginning to rise.Lister carried his bat for 9, after playing some pretty cricket.Belmont sent King and W.S.Heuchman first to the wickets, to face the bowling of Philpott and Godwin.Henchman was hurt by Philpott\u2019s second ball, and was obliged to retire for the time being, replaced by Wood.Shortly afterward, King played on one from Philpott and the same bowler took Wood's wicket a few minutes later.Cregar came next, and this stalwart player cominenced at once to lay about him in a style which caused the bowlers to place their field very \u201cdeep.\u201d A number of boundaries rewarded Cregar\u2019s enterprise, until he tipped a good length from Philpott softly into Godwin's hands at short slip.Later on, a stand was made by Watson and Leech, until the latter was bowled by Hill, who had replaced Godwin, the latter having heen less fortunate than usual.ÿ.S.Henchman, who came in next to resume his interrupted innings, was bowled by Philpott, and the innings closed finally for 82 Montreal's second innings started at some time after five, and when stumps were drawn for the day the score was 24 for two wickets.Score: Montreal\u2014First Innings.W.R.Gilbert, ¢ W.Henchman, b Cre- AP LL.1202202044 Lara se a 00 0 en

Corn- walls win they would lead with an average of .750 to Shamrocks .700.This is what Cornwalls want, and what Shamrocks don\u2019t want, so the game on Saturday will be one of the best of the

the Big Basin, Which is Now Almost Empty.Some a'dermen and civic officials visited the reservoir yesterday, at Ald.Laporte\u2019s invitation, to satisfy themselves, by personal observation, of its condition, and the need of repairs, The divisional wall, it seems, has become so full of seams that it ro longer answered its purpose.so that now in order to 1epair it, the whole reservoir had to be cmptied.While the reservoir has not heen cleaned out since 1890.nothing so far bas been found, beyond a few fishes and a shight layer of soft mud.It is not expected that much éleaning will he done this year, through lack of funds, and it is expiained that half an inch of sediment is as bad as three inches.Tle contract price for repairing the division wall is about $12.000, while but $4000 has been appropriated for all the rest.In the face of tbis Ald.Laporte said yesterday that he thought it improbable that any money would remain after the main walls had teen put in order.with which to clean out the hottom.But if there was any it weuld be put to that use, he added.From a sanitary standpoint no danger is anticipated.But to have the reservoir per- feetly clean Montrealers must wait till it shali be sunplied with a cement lsttom.It is expected that the repairs will occupy two months\u2019 time.But the contractor is bound by Saturday morning to have eleven feet of water in one
