Seems to Be About to Be Proven
True—Dreyfus Will Have a New
Trial to a Certainty.
Paris. Sept 1- It U now said that the
outride of Lieutenant. Colonel Henry, chief
of the Intelligence department of the
French ministry for war was connizcd at
by the French army authorities.
Suicide occurred shortly after the pris
oner had received a visit from an officer
of the general staff who on leaving order-
M the sentry on duty before Henry’s place i
of confinement "not to disturb the pris
oner iu he had a lot of work to do.”
It recalled a similar opportunity to com
mit suicide afforded Dreyfus who. however, j
declin'd to profit by It.
it la generally believed that, the rest of
the general stafl of the French army will
follow the example of General Boladeffrc,
the chief of the staff and General Gonse,
the uuderehlef. and tender their resigna
tions
It appears that the minister for war, Al
Cavalgnac. is convinced that Henry had
accomplices in the forged incriminating
document and ther are persistent reports
the Col I’aty de Clam will shortly be ar
rest* d In this connection.
It la reported that 'Minister of Justice
M Sarrlen, has ilready taken steps to
grant Dreyfus a re-trial.

letter which led to his trial and conviction |
on the charge of libeling military officers,
sold: . e
"I accuse Lieutenant Colonel Patty de
Clam of having been a diabolical worker
unconsciously I am ready to believe, and
of having defended his nefarious doings
for the past three years 'by the most ab
surd and culpable machinations.
“1 accuse General Mercier (who was
minister of war when Dreyfus was tried)
of being an accomplice at least through a
weak intelligence in the greatest iniquity
of the century.
"I accuse General Billet (minister for
war during the late Dreyfus agitation) of
having in his hands certain proofs of the
innocence of Dreyfus and having sup
pressed them, thus rendering himself
guilty of treason against humanity and
justice, for political reason.
"I accuse Boisdeffre and Gonse of being
accomplices in the same crime.
"I accuse De Pellleux and Ravary of

whereby I mean an inquiry of the most
monstrous partiality ”

Fulton, N. Y., Sept. I—The Chicago
Limited on the New York, Ontario and
Western railroad was wrecked at Ingall's
Crossing’, four miles south of this village,
at 5 o’clock this morning.
The wreck was due to the dastardly
work of tramps, who threw open the
switch at which the train was wrecked,
as well as two switches north of the
wreck.
The train was an hour and a quarter
late and was running nearly sixty miles
an hour when It struck the switch and
was thrown over to the side track.
The rapid speed made it impossible to
make the sharp turn and the train left the
track. The engine was thrown 20 feet
and blown to pieces. The tender was in
verted the trucks of the baggage car was
lorn off and the head coach was telescop
ed. The baggage car of the vestibuled
chair car and the sleeper Farragut were
derailed, but neither badly damaged.
Engineer Dowd and Fireman Hail both
jumped and were found under the wreck

one of the yachts purchased by the navy
for the auxiliary fleet during the war, will
be retained and turned over to the presi
dent. He will take outings on the warm
evenings with the members of the cabinet
and their ladies. It is possible, too, that in
other years, when the cares of state are
not so great, he may 'take take more ex
tended pleasure trips. On ocasions it may
be used as a theater for important secret
conferences of the cabinet. President
Cleveland used the lighthouse tenders fre

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. I—Governor
Matthews' friends will be glad to hear that
i he carried about $50,000 insurance. His fi

insurance will lift the mortgages from his
farm. He never was a money-maker. His
wife’s farm, originally 2,000 acres, has

Mate of an Italian Bark Lost
His Life in the
Storm.
Savannah, Sept. 1. —The effects of the
storm are rapidly being repaired. The
Central railway trains due last night and
this morning were detained by washouts.
All t-he roads will be running by tomor
row The only man killed was Second
Mate Garlbolo. of the Italian bark Noe,
who was trying to reach shore by a life
line. He fell into the sea.
At Tybee all the tents and records of the
400 soldiers on duty at Tybee were blown
away. This will cause much confusion
TRAINS DELAYED.
As a Result of the Storm in Savannah Com
munication is Cut Off.
The storm at Savannah and. along the
coast has delayed the trains coming from
direction No. 3. which was due in Maron
at 4 o’clock this morning has not yet
reached here, and the railroad people- are
unable to give any information concerning
her.
The telegraph Hnes are down between.
I here and Savannah and it is impossible to
get any correct idea of the damage that
has been done along the line.
It is thought, however, that the damage
is mainly confined to points around Sa
vannah and that the tracks are blocked
by the debris and floods.
We are now full}" prepared

CUT-RATE WAR
ON INSURANCE
Will Commence at Once if
the Local Fire Board Does
Not Consent.
HU Till ABGUT IT
This Afternoon at a Meeting, When
Mr, Horne Will Withdraw Un
less Members Consent.
The local board of underwriters will meet
this afternoon and then the fight for the
reduction, of rates which was predicted in
The News some time ago will commence.
Mr. Henry Horne will serve notice on
the board that he will at once withdraw
his membership from the local board and
will sell insurance In depentdent ly of the
board or of other agents in the city until
such a time as there is a readjustment of
the rates of Insurance In all classes in
the city of Macon.
This means a fight of no small dimen
sions of the members of the board are as
determined to uphold the rate as Mr.
Horne is to bring it down.
Speaking of the matter this morning Mr. I
Horne said that it is not his desire to bring |
about a condition of chaos, but the rates i
are too high in Macon and a committee |
was appointed by the Chamber of Com- :
merce six weeks ago to look into the mat- ■
ter and report. That committee, so far as I
he knows, has not acted, and the best way I
to bring the matter to adjustment is to j
bring on a direct competition.
“If the local board is ready for a fight I
on rates,” said Mr. Horne, “I will be i
forced into the fight, but if they a~e rea- I
sonable and take the question in the light '
that I do, there need, not be any Trouble j
about it at all.”
In this effort to reduce the ratese of in- I
suranee in Macon it is said that, Mr. Horne
will have the support of the property own
ers and the people generally.

CHAIRMAN DAVIS
WAS SURPRISED
When He Read the Mavor’s
Statement About the
Bridge.
HE DIO HOT KNOW
That the County Was in Charge of
the Bridge—Will Investigate
the Matter.
Chairman G. M. Davis, of the county
commissioners, was seen this morning and
asked what he thought of the mayor’s
statements to the effect that the county
and not the city should build a 'bridge.
"I was very much surprised,” he said,
“when I saw that the mayor claimed that
the bridge (had been turned over to the
county yeans ago. It was my first knowl
edge of the matter, but it seems strange
to me that the city has been keeping the
bridge in repair if it belonged to the coun-
I ty.”
He was asked if the county would build
a new bridge and he said:
“We won’t do so unless it is our duty to
do so, but if it is our duty the county will
certainly build a new bridge. 1 think that
a new one should be built and from what I
can learn the present bridge is in a very
bad condition. I have never made and in
spection of the structure, but. if we take
the matter in hand it will be necessary for
me to do so. The time is past for such a
bridge as that and we should have a new
one.
“The city at one time charged toll for
'teams to pass over and I have paid the toll
a great many times. It is news to me that
the bridge is in charge of the county. I
cannot remember when any of the com
missioners ever had anything to do with
the bridge and I have been here for a long
time. But still, we need a new bridge and
I 'think that one will be built. The county
commissioners will investigate the matter
and If it is found that the bridge really
belongs to us. we will build a new one."
There has been a great deal of discus
sion about Whether the bridge belonged to
■the county or to the city, but it. seems that
a majority of the people think that the
bridge is in charge of the city. The mat
ter has been discussed by several promi
nent people and they are of the opinion
that the city owns the bridge and that
they should build a new one at once,
The bridge has been repaired, or at least
that is what the city authorities think, but.
a careful examination Os the bridge will
sihcw that the bridge cannot be repaired so
that it will last any length of time. A new
bent was placed under the abutment on
this side of the river, and the bridge was
opened to foot passengers yesterday after
noon.
The new bent cannot be of much good,
as the old structure is badly rotten and
Lt will not be long before the old bridge
will be a thing of the past.
Chairman Ellis, of the committee on
public property is Os the opinion that the
bridge is entirely safe, but the people of
East Macon and those on this side of the
river who have made an inspection of the
bridge, do not agree with him.
City Engineer Wilcox refused to discuss
the matter several days ago and it is sup
posed from that that he thinks the struct
ure unsafe. The bridge is no safer now
for foot passengers that it was a month
ago. The center of the bridge between the
rock piling in the center of the river
and the bank is greatly swayed, and peo
ple are of the opinion that it will not be
long before the thing falls through. The
timbers ate rotten and so is the flooring.
A prominent citizen of East Macon stated
last night that he would not be surprised
at any time to hear of the bridge falling
In.
The citizens of East Macon say that if
the city does no look after the matter at
once they will carry it to the courts and
try to 'secure a new bridge. The bridge is
a public necessity on a road leading to the
court house, and the East Macon people
claim that if the city does not keep the
bridge in proper repair that it is the duty
of the county commissioners 'to do so. They
say that they have presented over a mile
of petitions asking that a new bridge be
built but that they have been completely
ignored.
The merchants over the river are put to
a great inconvenience, as they have to haul
their goods by the way of the Spring street
bridge, which is very much out of their
way, or they have to pay the railroad a
$1 a car to transfer the goods ‘to the East
Macon side track.
The bridge is open to wagons today, but
it is thought that it is unsafe for heavy
loads to be carried over it.
JUSTICES WILL
BE INVESTIGATED
A Campaign of Purification
is Pending for the Near
Future.
A campaign of reformation of the justice
of the peace courts of Macon and of thia
county generally, seems to be one of the
certainties of the next few months.
There has been so much complaint of
late and the courts have come in for so
much adverse criticism that the justices
themselves who have conducted heir
courts In accordance with the law are the
most clamorous for a rigorous investiga
tion
It is certain that in some of the courts
practices are going on that are disgraceful
and a number of the lawyers and people
generally under whose observation hese
practices have come, say that they are
ready *o go before any grand jury and as
sist in the investigation.
A case in point was that of the shooting
which took place in a justice court on
Tuesday between a bailiff and Will Boe
worth. a negro.
The negro says that an effort was made
to ns!:: him pay the cost in a criminal
eese. This is denied by the bailiffs, but so
frequent have been these charges of '.ate
that the public generally wants to have the
matter investigated very thoroughly and
evidence has been collected that will make
it go hard with some of the courts.
The result will be a purification and a
better system of the administration of jus
tice. . .
We will replace the soda
water tickets our customers
lost in the fire. Let us know
how many you had.

INCENDIARY FIRE
County Commissioners Will Burn Down the
Pest House.
The county pest house which was built
during the smallpox epidemic will proba
bly bo burned in a few days.
The house is situated near the Log Cabin
Club house on the Bellevue road When
it was first proposed to build the house
•there the people of that section were very
much eposed to it and secured an injunc
tion against it, but they finally consented
to allow the house to be built if the coun
ty commissioners would agree to burn the
dld'ing as soon as the epidemic was over.
Since the smallpox has been wiped out
the house has been thoroughly cleansed
and fumigated and a man has been living
in it since to look after the property. The
house cost a considerable amount of money
and it is ttiougnt by some that it will be
a loss to the coun’ty if it is burned, as the
county and the city also have property
there Which is valuable.
But, 'according to the contract with the
residents living near by, the house will
have to be burned unless the neighbors de
cide to allow it to remain. The .people
there have sent Word 'to the county com
missioners that they want the house burn
ed, and it will be touched off in a few
days.

MOVED MANY_
Southern Railway Has Handled Seventy-five
Thousand Troops.
Mr. S. H. Hardwick, of the Southern
railway, was in Macon yesterday. He was
asked how many soldiers his company had
moved during the war, and he estimated
the number at 75,000. That is three times
the size of the regular army at the time
the war broke out.
These figures apply only to the troops
moved by special trains. Many thousands
■were carried on regular trains. So far,
everything has gone smoothly.
The officials in charge of the transpor
tation felt the great responsibility of hand-
I ling the soldiers without accident and they
took every precaution. The trains could
have been rushed along at a much higher
‘ speed, but the transportation men pre
ferred to go slower and get the trains
through safely. When a railroad runs ex
tra trains, the danger is greatly Increased.
, Regular trains are not near so liable to get
i in collision or to have other accident* a.-
special trains.
