Telegraph] To-day the cjtm of the world ut turned to en obtcure little town in Brittany, where the inital steps are being taken to nndo aa great a wrong aa ever haa been committed upon a human being under the garb and anapicea of justice. Capt. Dreyfus ha* suffered untold tortures during four years, through treatment which was far in excess of being warranted even if he had committed the acts he wsa wrongly charged with. Only the devotion of wife, family and influential friends, sustained by a gradually growing opinion in government circles that he was innocent have served to bring about the rehearing, which it is generally lielieved, will result in the rehabilitation of this officer to the rank of which he was degraded. The growth of a just public opinion has been hindered and retarded by many persoEs who should have known better. But a peculiar Nemesis has overtaken many of this class. Suicide, exile and disgrace has been the fate of a score of men, high in office and trust in thegovernment of the French Republic. Tlieir conspiracies, forgeries and similar crimes, have been avenged, and the end is not yet; for as soon as the trial of Rennes shall be completer! and a just sentence rendered there will be at least a score more who will meet punishment of one sort or another for their disgraceful conduct.fi.oo dress good*, all colors, 75c - ... 5°c 3° to 37C.

[Louisville Courier Journal. | We insist that the authority of the United States shall be acknowledged not only by the inhabitants of the islands which we have rescued from Spain, bat by >11 the powers of the Universe, Europe, Asia and Africa. This is ah absolute condition precedent to the determination of future policies with respect to those islands. When peace and order have been everywhere restored, we would take our time to investigate the separate capability and wants and needs of the several communities which have come under our sovereignty. They are not and could not be all alike —Cuba lies right across our Southern water front. It is as close to us as Texas when Texas was annexed. It may be taken for granted that it is only a question when Cuba will become a State of the Union. It will be as completely Yankeefied hs Texis. Not so with Porto Rico. There the condi ions are different and more or less affected by the element of distance; though Alaska and Hawaii are yet father away. As for the Philllplnes, they are on the other side of the world, and whilst this worl l is growing smaller by degrees and beautifully less under the operations of electricity, yet the distance is very great, and no man can now say what may in the end and in the Providence of God be best for us and best foi the Phillipinos. Certuittly, no wise man would commit himself at this early date to any fixed, irrevocable policy. Under the peculiar circumstances that confront us and with the limited information with in our reach we can only wait and see. CLEARANCE SALE. P. P. LONG.

JOHNSON BLOCK, [Plttnburit Dispatch.] That San Francisco labor committee which sets in the muster-out of the returning volunteers at Sin Fraucisco a scheme to overstock the labor market at that place and to force the soldiers to reenlist, on account of the fact that when they are paid off they will spend all their money and be left destitute there, only succeeded in exposing its ignorauce of the character of the volunteers. The soldiers f romWestern Pennsylvania —and the rule will undoubtedly hold good as to the volunteers from other states— are young men of Intelligence and common sense as well ns patriotism. They represent the industrious class that knows how to take care of itsslf. There must inevitable be some ne'er-do-wells among 15,000 men, but it would be safe to wager that there are less among them of the sort that will let themselves become destitute by dissipation in a strange city, than in any 15,000 men that could be gotten together in the country. The San Francisco labor committee need notjworry. The boys have been nway from home a year and a quarter. They have unmistakably testified their desire to get home. Even apart from such arrangements as made here to bring home the Tenth, it can be safely predicted that 95 out of every 100 of the volunteers will take the first train for their homes as soon aa they are mustered out and paid off.

The residents of White street have about concluded that the town ooancll having decided to pave the depot rjad at a coat of nearly six thousand dollars will leave White street indefinitely in its preeent dilapidated condition, which li a disgrace to the borough. The depot road was macadamised abont three years ago and certainly does not need repairing as badly as other streets In the borough. A fight took plaoe on the night of the 2nd Inst. The affair utme near resulting fatally for one of the participants, who was so badly scared by a cot he received that it is safe to predict that it will be a long time before he ongSKee in another brawl. Several hearings brought oat the following facts: Fiye yoang men, residing in and near Howe, aboat foar milts north of Brookvllle, came to town on reineaday of last week. None of them ware over 90 years of ago, but they succeeded in procuring enough llqaor to make life bearable to them. After this operation they v, Hi tod the base ball grounds, where a merry-goround was in motion. Here the/ met a party hailing from Alaska, a suburb to the uorth of BrookviUe. This crowd consisted of Bert Vasblndcr, Charles Joyner and a number of boys ranginging from IS to 10 je»r» of ngo. Tho Howe gang, consisting of Win Braner, George Brnner, Bay Ewing, Mead Whiteman and Charles Whiteman, and haviog an imaxi' nary score to settle with Bert V«sbinder, procesdod to put it in action at once by ofleriug to fight. The police intwferei and the crowd moved ou to new grounds, where they wore again interrupted by tho officers of tho l»w. Tho two crowds then started homeward, keeping np their quarrel through town until the store of J. T. Stewart was reached, where, thinking they were near enough to borough limits to be out of roach 'of the law, and particularly the police, they came together. The fight lasted bnt a few minutes whon Win Bruner, one of the leading participant#,called oat that he had been cut. The sight of blood immediately opened tho sand valve of each of the would be ferocious fighters, part of whom betook themselves to their homes, while others helped Bruner into a buggy and hastenod for medical aid. Ho was taken to the office of Dr. A. F. Balmer, whore it was found that a cat nearly two inches long had been made on the left aide of the neck, and one of the arteries leading to the jugular vein, hadbeen partly severed. The man was bleeding so profusily that it was at first thought that he would b'eed to death. Several doctors,among them Dr. Walter W. Hatson, lent their assistance, and by the use of ligatures the flow of blood was stopped - not, howover.nntii Bruner had grown very weak and seemingly ready to oollapse. A warrant was issued and Joyner, who had done the cutting, was arrested at his home, where he was found in bed. He was brought before Squire Baur, and demanded a hearing. Being nnable to give $500 bail he waa committed to the county jail until the 4th, when he was brought out;for a hearing. A number of wltneaaes were examined and Joyner held for his appearance at the August Coart of Q aarter sessions. Harvey McCaakey gave ball In the sum of $300 for the appearanoe of defendant at court. The Howe crowd having been subpicned as witnesses, were present at the hearing, upon the conclusion of whioh they, too, were arrested on two warrants -one for assault and battery upon Joyner. the other for disorderly conduct. Being unable to procure ball they were committed to jail nntii Saturday, whon friends appeared and entered into the required bill of $100 for each defendant for his appearance at hearing on Monday afternoon. They were then releaaed, and appeared at the hearing on Monday. A large number of witnesses were examined in toth cases. In the charge of asiault and battery, Win Brnner was held for his appearance at court and gave ball in the sum of $350 with Harvey Bruner, his father, aa surety for his appearance. Gsorge Bruner, Bay Ewing, Head Whiteman and Charles Whiteman were discharged frqm the charge of assault and battery. On the charge of disorderly conduct Win Bruner, George Braner, Bay Ewing, Head and Charlei Whiteman were fined $5.00 and costs, each, and in default of payment of which the defendants to be confined in county jail for fifteen days. The fines, amounting to $10.01 for each defendant. were paid and the yoang fellows releaaed from custody—presumably poorer bnt wiser for their experience. A Lycoming county genius claims a new invention for killing snakes. His name is Ludwlg, and he has hitherto devoted his time to bladting rocks. He applies the same method for the destruction or snakes. The snakes' fondness for dynamite he discovered by accident. I,ud wig's invention is a dynamite pill plugged with red pepper. The snake likes the taste of the pill and Bwallows it. Soon after the plugs holding the red pepper are dissolved and a terrible commotion immediately begins in the snake's internal anatomy. Rattlesnakes are peculiarly susceptible to red pepper, and in their agony they hurl themselves against the rocks, the dynamite pill explodes and all is over. Ludwlg has distributed a large number of his pills in places where snakes are particularly plentiful, and declares that on a still night he can thnist his head out of his bed-room window and listen to the noise of snake explosions all over the country. The farmers are talking of getting up some aort of a demonstration in order to show their appreciation of the inventor. They claim that the snakes are rapidly decreasing in number since Ludwig has pnt his dynamite pills in opsration.—Oil City Derrick. . . 1 Sf)c ptniy0ttfttti?itgj| Spirit V
