GUARDS MAY SHOOT
DREYFUS IN PRISON
Mutiny of Convicts at Caneye
Endangers His Life.
DEATHKNELL IS SOUNDED
Watchmen Under Strict Orders to Kill
Hlin Like a Dog If There Is Any
Effort Made at Release or Possibility
of Escape.
London, Sept. 21.—A special dispatch
from Paris says the deputy represent-
ing French Guiana in the chamber has
received a dispatch announcing that a
mutiny has taken place among the con-
victs at Cayenne, the capital of French
Guiana. The mutineers, it appears,
and murdered their guards,
then stormed the military storehouse
and seized the arms and ammunition
there.
They are now, according to the dis-
patch, besieging the principal prison,
and it is the feared they may succeed in
freeing 4,000 convicts confined in
the building. Reinforcements have
been telegraphed for to the island of
Martinique, but it is said they will not
arrive in time to suppress the mutiny.
Devil’s island, where Albert Dreyfus,
the former captain in the French artil-
lery, is confined under sentence for hav¬
ing sold secrets of the war department
to a foreign government, is but a short
distance from Caneye. It is possible
that the revolt of convicts may be the
deathknell of the prisoner whose con¬
demnation has so stirred up the French
nation, for his guards are under strict
orders to kill him if any attempt is
made to release him or if thero is any
possibility of his escaping.
AFTER COLONEL PICQUART.
Frenchman Declares lie Will Not Die
In Prison l>j’ His Own Hand.
Paris, Sept. 21.—The papers here say
the minister of war, General Chaneine,
fias examined the documents in the
Dreyfns ^ case and , has , ordered , , the prose-
cution of former Colonel Picquart on
the charge of forgery and using forged
documents.
The trial of Colonel Picquart and M.
Loblois, a lawyer, on the charge of re-
vealing documents concerning the na-
tional defense, was to have begun
day before the correctional tribunal.
q be public prosecutor, however, asked
for an adjournment 011 the ground that
the prosecution of Colonel Picquart on
the charge of forgery and using forged
documents bad been ordered by tho
minister of war.
M. Labori, who was counsel for M.
Zola during the latter’s famous trial,
indignantly opposed the adjournment,
which, he said, was an attempt to hand
over Colonel Picquart into the clutches
of the military authorities. Colonel
Picquart then rose and made a state-
meat which caused a sensation. He
said:
• •This is, perhaps, the last time I shall
speak in public. I shall sleen, perhaps,
in the military prison of Cherche Midi.
Therefore I wish to declare that if I
find there the strangling cord of Lenier-
cier Picard, or the razor of Colonel
Henry, it will be murder, for I have no
idea of committing suicide.”
The audience was intensely moved
and shouted “vive Picquart.”
The judge, however, after a short de-
liberation, decided to indefinitely ad-
journ the case and Colonel Picquart was
led away between two policemen.
Lemercier Picard, the man referred
. , . ..
the Dreyfus affair, who was found
hanging in his lodgings about a year
ago, under circumstances which cast
, louBt . the theory
s<RDe ( on put forward ,
that he had committed suicide.

EXPLOSION IN TOLEDO
PLAYS GREAT HAVOC
Six People Already Dead and
Others Fatally Injured.
BIG ELEVATOR DESTROYED
Flames Immediately Break Out and
Several Who Escaped Being Killed
Instantly Are Thought to Have Later
Perished by Fire.
Toledo, Sept. 21.—A dust explosion
in the great elevator of the Union Ele-
vator and Transportation company, at
8:25 last night, resulted in the death of
most of the employes in the structure,
and a money loss exceeding $500,000.
There were 450,000 bushels of wheat,
corn and oats in store, and the entire
force was at work shipping an order for
80,000 bushels of oats by rail at the time
of the disaster.
The explosion was heard all over the
city, and resembled the distant firing of
heavy artillery. The roof of the struc-
ture was thrown 100 feet into the air
and fell a mass of wreckage. The Bides
of the building were all thrown out-
ward, leaving the huge grain bins stand-
ing without covering. Every part of
the wreck was instantly a mass of
flames and the conflagration was seen
miles away before the fire department
could reach the scene.
The list of dead so far is as follows:
Grace Parks, aged 19, daughter of
Superintendent ^ W. J. Parks.
John Carr, shoveler.
Fred Garrett, shoveler.
Everett Smith, machinist.
Unknown Polish shoveler.
Another shoveler, unknown.
The following are missing and are
believed to have been burned inside the
building:
Frank Van Hoesen, grain inspector.
Samuel Alexander, weigher.
Harold Parks, aged 6, son of Superin¬
tendent W. J. Parks.
Charles Keefer, engineer.
The injured are:
Hamilton Parks, aged 10, son of Su¬
perintendent W. J. Parks, fatally
burned.
John Smith, shoveler, face, arms and
neck burned; will probably die.
Barney Welsh, shoveler, face, espe¬
cially eyes and ears, believed to be fa¬
tally hurt.
Fred Pargellis, assistant foreman,
may recover.
William J. Parks, superintendent,
burned all over, fatally injured.
W. C. Jordan, yardmaster Ohio Cen¬
tral railroad, badly burned abont face
and arms.
children Superintendent -Parks had his three
with him in the building. He
w*as in the office at the time of the cat¬
astrophe, was blown through a window
and found 20 feet away, frightfully
burned and with his clothing torn off.
Ilis daughter Grace was seated at her
father’s desk, aiding him in some cler¬
ical work. She was blown through the
door, her clothing aflame. She rose
and ran a short distance, w*hen she fell
and rolled down a 20-foot embankment
onto the Lake Shore tracks. She was
picked up, her clothing all burned off
except her shoes, and medical aid sum¬
moned. She died later in the evening.
BRITISH STOCKHOLDER WIN.
Petition of Americans In the Jasper
Lands Case Denied.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 21.—In the
United States court, Judge Bruce de¬
nied the petition of the American stock¬
holders in the Jasper Town and Lands
company case which asked that the re¬
ceivership of J. W. Burke be made per¬
manent and extend over the Corona
Coal and Coke company’s properties.
Judge Bruce rendered a lengthy opin¬
ion, in which he said that he seriously
doubted the right of the federal courts
to pass upon the regularity of the state
courts, the latter having previously ap¬
pointed J. H. Bartlett receiver for the
Corona properties on petition of the
English stockholders, and added that
he certainly would consider it remark¬
able were the conditions reversed and
the state courts were to attempt to pass
upon the regularity of any action taken
by the federal courts.
The effect of the decision of Judge
Bruce is to remove the temporary re¬
ceivership of Burke and leaves the Jas¬
per Town and Lauds company in an at¬
titude occupied before the suit wai
brought.
J. H. Bartlett, receiver for the die-
solved Corona Coal and Coke company,
is left in charge of that property ana
the whole thing is a victory for the
British stockholders, who have been at
war with the American stockholders.

KICK FROM BRECKINRIDGE.
General Wants to Know Who Is In
Charge of tile Surgeons.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. 21. —General
Breckinridge, who is in command of
Camp Hamilton here, and Surgeon Gen¬
eral Sternberg had a long conference
just before the surgeon general left here
with Secretary Alger. General Breck¬
inridge wanted to know just who had
the right to command tbe hospital sur¬
geons.
He said at Chickamauga those indi¬
viduals were a sort of “do-as-you please”
fellows, under nobody’s command. Gen¬
eral Wilson had requested certain
things to be done in the hospitals at
Chickamauga and no artentionhad boon
given his demand. Investigation, Gen¬
eral Breckinridge said, showed that the
surgeons considered themselves subject
only to the orders of General Sternberg.
General Breckinridge, said ho found tbe
same trouble at Camp Hamilton and be
wanted to have a distinct understand¬
ing regarding tbe matter.
General Sternberg said that the sur¬
geons at Chickamauga were subject to
the orders of General Wilson, and that
the general should have found this out.
If he saw his orders were not obeyed,
he should have found the reason ft r
such disobedience and had ibe matter
settled at once. General Brechin: i go
said the same was the case right here
and he wanted General Sternberg to in¬
form General Sanger that he was the
proper person to command *he surgeons.
