Rennes, Ang. 8. The second trial
I of Captain Dreyfus on a charge of
I treason opened In the concert room of
the Lyoee here yesterday. Three hun
dred newsp.it. er men, representing pa-
Ipers In all parts of the globe, were up
at 5 o'clock In the morning to witness
tbe translcr of the captain from the
military prison to the court room,
which took place at 6 o'clock In the
morning. There was a strong force of
military on hand to prevent disorder.
but not the slightest demonstration
was made, and Dreyfusltes and ant i
Dreyfusites seem to be In perfect har
mony. The captain was taken to a
private room to await the opening of
court, and then the witnesses were ad
mitted. M. Cavagnac's cheerfulness
seemed forced, but former President
Casimir-Perlcr was blithe as a boy.
Lieutenant Colonel Plcqtiart was In
plain clothes and was cold shouldered
by the army people. But aparently
be did not mind. He had playod the
winning card and could afford to be In
different. Ho members of the Dreyfus
family were anywhere visible, but most
of the leading partisans of Dreyfus had
come.
At 7 o'clock the coming of the court
was announced in military fashion,
the soldiers presenting arms. The
Judges entfred from the wings, and
were in full dress uniform. Colonel
Jouaust, the presiding officer, Is a man
of dignified appearance, not unlntel
lectual, and has an upright, martial
air.
Colonel Jouaust, in a stentorian
voice, declared the trial begun, and or
dered the accused to be brought In. AU
eyes were turned on Dreyfus. His
fresh complexion astonished all. The
llgure remains clean built. He enter
ed with measured step. His mode of
saluting the court was jerky and very
composed, but his fingers betrayed
nervousness.' His voice Is not good,
but It was out of practice for five
years.
The first Incident was the declara
tion of the president-colonel that he
bad unlimited power to call witnesses.
He then ordered the bill of indictment
of M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire to be
cited. The Indictment is that of 1894.
Colonel Jouaust submitted Dreyfus
to a rigorous examination, more In the
style of a prosecuting counsel than a
Judge, and made gestures of impatience
at some direct denials which Dreyfus
gave repeatedly to the judge's ques
tions. The prisoner's roles resounded
frequently through the court room as
be energetically resiled: "No. my col
onel," or "Never! Never!" to questions
put to him.
when Colonel Jouaust handed the
.prisoner a long slip of cardboard, upon
I which the bordereau was pasted, he
used:
"Do you recollect this document?"
Dreyfus replied with a passionate
outburst:
"No, my colonel, I am Innocent. I
declare it here; I declared It In 1894;
I am a victim." Hla voice here was
choked with sobs, which must have
stirred every spectator In court. The
voice of the prisoner did not seem hu
man. It resembled the cry of s wounded
animal.
As he ended his reply, with the
words: "Five years in the galleys. My
Wife! My children! My God! I am In
nocent; Innocent," Colonel Jouaust
said:
"Then you deny it?"
Dreyfus replied: "Yes, my colonel."
Dreyfus denied that he had ever said
Alsatians were happier as Germans
than as Frenchmen, declared that the
bad note written about him by a "cer
tain general" was on account of hla
religion, admitted relations with cer
tain women, but asserted that he com
mitted no indiscretion, and insisted ve
hemently that he had never gambled.
When Colonel Jouaust spoke of the
Interview with Du Paty de Clam Drey
fus replied:
"I never confessed anything to Du
Paty de Clam."
Here occurred one of the most dra
matic scenes in the examination. Drey
fus, tremendously excited, swayed to
and fro for a moment and then all his
pent up emotion and Indignation burst
forth, and he cried in a piercing voice,
heard throughout the court and even
by those standing outside:
It is iniquitous to condemn an in
nocent man. I never confessed any
thing. Never."
Dreyfus, as he uttered these words.
raised his white gloved hand and held
It aloft as If appealing to Heaven to
vindicate him.
The judge was fair throughout, but
evidently not friendly. He showed
himself, however, sensible and sober
minded and impressed every one fa
vorably. There are many persons who
were present at the trial now under the
impression that the harshness of the
presiding judge was assumed and was
Intended to disarm the enemies of
Dreyfus, who are only anxious to In
terpret ordinary courtesy into ths
grossest partiality toward the prisoner.
If this be the case, and such an expla
nation is quite plausible, Dreyfus Is
naturally unaware of It, and the effect
upon his highly strung nerves must be
very severe.
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
yesterday afternoon and found him
hopeful, although much unnerved, as
the rigorous examination, and espec
ially the unfeeling demeanor displayed
toward him by Colonel Jouaust, proved
t tremendous strain upon him.

people were killed by an i.rilent
on the Stratford extension of the Shel
ton St i cot Railway company Kt 4
o'clock ye.r.erday afternoon, when a
loaded trolley car went ofT the trestle
over Peck's mill pond at Oronoqus,
about six miles north of Bridgeport,
and sunk In the flats 40 feet below.
The scone of the accident Is midway
between Shclton and Bridgeport. The.
car was north hound, running toward
Shclton. It was in charge of Conduc
tor John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who
was among the killed, and Motorman
Hamilton, of Bridgeport, who escaped
by Jutupln::. The latter was arrested,
charged with manslaughter. He is out
on hall.
The trestle Is 440 feet long, made of
Iron, w ith stone foundations, and was
not protected by guard rails. South of
the trestle Is an Incline, down which
the car run at a high rate of speed.
After it ran on the trestle for about
ten feet the trucks left the rails and
then the car continued on the ties for
about ' feet, when It wont olT the
trestle, and dropped Into the pond he
low, a distance of 40 feet, ove. turning
completely and up ended. When the
car struck the four ton motor and the
heavy trucks crushed Into It. Instantly
killing many of the passengers.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frunces Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was up
stairs at her home as the car was pass
ing, and lbs says that It was running
at an unusually fast rate. Frank Cra
mer, who was bathing near the bridge,
states that the passengers were all
singing tu the most Joyfui moud as
they passed him.
George Willis, of Shclton, was on the
highway not more than a hundred feet
from the scene and witnessed the car
toppling over. He says that there was
one unearthly shriek as it went down,
and after that silence.
One of the pathetic scenes was that
of a lifeless hahy reclining in the arras
of a dead nan, the infant appearing to
be smiling and asleep. The 3-year-old
son of Mrs. J, II. Rugg was frantically
appealing to his dead mother. His sis
ter, 5 years old, had her arm broken.

Fell Tlironith a Broken Gana IMank
at Mount Desert.
Bar Harbor, Me., Ang. 7. A score
of persons were killed yesterday by
the collapse of a gang plank of the
Mount Desert ferry. Seventeen were
drowned and three died from the ter
rible experience of Immersion In the
wster and Injuries while struggling for
life.
The Maine Central railroad ran ex
cursions to Bar Harbor from all sec
tions of Its line In Maine, the attrac
tion being the warships, which were
expected yesterday.
AH the morning long trains packed
with excursionists were rushing to Bar
Harbor. The train which left Bangor
at 8:26 consisted of 12 cars jammed
with people. At Mount Desert ferry,
the terminus of ths line, the train is
left for the boat, for an eight mile
sail to Bar Harbor. From the wharf
a slip, or gangplank, 40 feet long and
10 feet wide, led up to the boat. The
slip was hinged at the inner end, the
outer end being supported by chains,
by which it was raised or lowered to
suit the tide.
When the excursion train from Ban
gor arrived at the ferry there was a
rush for the steamer Sappho. The
first few passengers had crossed the
gangplank safely, and It Is estimated
that 200 people were massed on the
plank. Suddenly they fell, the plank
giving away beneath them. The long
timber supporting the plank broke in
ths middle. The hinges held up one
end and the chain the other, while the
broken ends of the plank dropped, and
a struggling, screaming mass of hu
manity was plunged Into the water 16
feet below the wharf. A few clung to
the inclined sides of the plank, but at
least ISO were struggling In the water.
Ropes and life preservers were thrown
to the crowd, but In the panic the peo
ple In the water clutched one another,
and many sank thus in groups In a
death struggle. Many taken from the
water were unconscious and were re
vived with difficulty.

Berlin, Aug. 8. Baron Von Stengel,
of the Munich university, who was sec

at the recent peace conference at The
Hague, has published an article upon
the results of the conference. He says
he doubts whether It was necessary to
deal so minutely with arbitration. "A
good sword," he continues, "Is the best
protector of a country's rights, and it
would be both unwise and unpatriotic
for Oermans to join peace societies In
advocating courts of arbitration."

authorities have decided to Increase
both the regular military and militia
forces on this station, the Pacific coast
depot of the British army and navy.
Coming at a time when the relations
between Canada aud the United Slates
are acknowledged by Premier Laurler
to be rather strained over the Alaskan
boundary quest ion, It looks as If Hritaln
and Canada were determined to assert
their claim to those portions of Alaska
demanded by Canada by force of arms
if necessary.
Some of the additional garrison has
already left Bngland, and others will
come out In big squads within the next
few mouths. The cost of the new
military post, half of which is to be
borne by the dominion government and
half by the British authorities, will be
about $125,000. It Is also said the

There were no deaths. This is the

Ion July 15, whoa Colonel Hawkins was
taken ill with cancer of the bowels,
from which ho had been a sufferer dur-
i Iiik the greater pari of his campaign
iln the Philippines, and for which he
' hi"d undergone treatment In the mili
tary hospital at Manila. His llln"ss
! continued during the following day,
! July 10, when the Senator was at
Yokohama, and two days later he
passed away at sea.
I Colonel Hawkins' Illness dated from
the battle of Malolos, when he exposed
. himself almost recklessly In the dis
ease breeding climate. He was re
spected and loved by every man of his
command, and his death is deeply
mourned by the troops. His body was
placed In a hermetically sealed casket,
and on the Sunday following his death
Impressive funeral service's were con
: ducted by the chaplain of the regi
ment, all of his men being in attend
ance. The remains were placed in tho

wildly enthusiastic The soldiers accept
ed the attentions shovered upon tlion
modestly, plodding along with even
step, and only occasionally looking to
the right or left. The expressions of
gratification which their sunburned
faces bore, and an occasional cheer,
were the only signs they permitted
themselves to show that they appro
elated the demonstrations of a grateful
people. The plaudits of an admiring
people could not dissipate the dis
cipline of a years' service In Uncle
Ram's army snd the loss of their com
mander hung heavily upon them.
The battle flag of the Pennsyrva
nlans, torn, shot riddled and almost a
wreck of Its former beauty, excited
more admiration than did anything
sue,
Colonel Barnett's sword, drnped In
crape out of respect to the memory of
Colonel Hawkins, caused n hush to fall
on the multitude.
The parade was reviewed In Van

In the reviewing stand with him was

had come to extend a welcome to
their returned heroes. As the troop
