DREYFUS DECLARED GUILTY.
The great trial at Rennes end
ed Saturday and the court at 5:02
o'clock p. m., rendered a verdict
of guilty. The court stood 5 to 2.
It announced that some extenu
ating circumstances had been
found anu the sentence would be
ten years imprisonment instead
-of for life, as was the verdict in
1894. Breyfus will not be sent
back to jjevil's Island but it is
said will be sent to Port Corteo
on the Island of Corsica:
It is even suggested that the
verdict may be ameliorated with
the construction that the ten
years of detention is the sum of
the punishment intended and
that the five years solitary im
prisonment is equal in degree of
punishment to the ten of confine
ment and that the ends of French
justice are already met. Thus
the prsident is expected to par
don him at an early day, proba
bly within two weeks.
The innocence, of the prisoner
is as clearly established in the
tmblic mind as if the court had
so declared.
It is to some degree sothing to
thnsA whn ViavA hAmv intArAstorl
in this case purely from a hu
manitarian sense to know that
torturing punishment is not to
be continued. ,
To those desirious of seeing
right vindicated, justice trium-
the people of one of the earth's
most historic nations;; it is a
grievous disappointment. There
can be no doubt that false pride
for the French, army reconciles
many of the French people to a
great wrong and a sacrifice of
one man, a hated Jew, rather
than to admit what has been
clearly demonstrated, that among
(trie French army officers integri
,.ty may be found absolutely
tiTsrantiBtgr. - - -
It isprobably a fact, as strong

of the accused had been left to a
popular vote the result would
not have been different, but, so
much the worse. Jf8rt&e French

APPRECIABLE WORDS BY ESTEEM
ED EXCHANGES.
Some mention has been made
in the press of another afternoon
paper in Concord. We think the
people there would secure the
best results by more liberally
patronizing The Standard, the
present afternoon paper there,
and enabling it to grow with the
town. There is not room for
two and The Standard should
not be turned down after weath
ering the long years when that
town could not support even one
paper. Raleigh Press-Visitor. '
The' Concord people must be
of' an interesting variety. An
instructive fable might be found
ed upon the. action taken by
some of them yesterday. , They
have an ably conducted little
daily, which has been struggling
for years to build up the town,
and incidentally to place itself
upon a prosporous footing, and
now the business of Concord
have subscribed to a yearly ad
vertising contract for the pur
pose of establishing a paper
which shall take the press dis
patches. And it never occurred
to them, seemingly, that the
publisher of the paper they al
ready have would be more than
flad to enlarge it, and take the
ispatches. Daily Reporter,

ROOM FOR OUR INSANE.
Dr. Murphy has procured a
called meeting of the State board
of charties for. Tuesday, the 19th,
at Morganton, to make provis
ions for enlarging the capacities
of the hospital to care for the
insane. There .are many jails in
the State containing these un
fortunates, where little hope of
improvement can be entertained.
Whatever be the burden of finan
ces just now upon the State this
is- a matter on which we pride
our civilization and it is to be
hoped the way will be found.
We should never lack room for
our insane where they can be
cured if curable and cared for
by the professionally skilled
when not curable...
MR. CALDWELL GONE ABROAD.
The Sunday's .Charlotte Ob
server says: "Mr. J. P. Calwell,
editor of The Observer, sailed
from New York -Thursday on
the North German Lloyd steamer
Konegin Luise for Europe to
take a short vacation of rest and
recreation."
. This produces ,m us a feeling
of mingled pleasure and regret.
Standing, as he does, on the very
highest tier of journalism in the
State we regret to be without
his fluent pen even for a season,
while we are glad for him to en
joy whatever there is in surcease
from labor and reinvigoration
from change of scenes and cares.
DOCKER Y HAS A BAD CASE.
The Dockery vs. Belamy con
test for a seat in Congress from
the sixth district is down to the
point that former does not claim
that he is elected but claims that
Bellamy is not either. The latter,
though has a majority of 5,839

was wltriihS of the total of 1896.

A Great Day at the Baptist Church.
Written for The Standard.
Yesterday at the Baptist
church witnessed a great day in
Z?'on. The crowds that attend
ed were immense. I' v V ;
The first service was at Sun
day, school when quite a number
professed conversion. At the 11
o'clock service the church was
well filled and the pastor preach
ed a powerful' sermon on the
"Man with a withered heart,"
drawing lessons that were to
lead men to the Savior. At the
't -
evening service the church
was packed to overflowing;
Many could not get in the house.
The singing by the choir and
congregation was grand. Never
in the history" of the city has bet
ter singing been heard. Mr.
Wolfsohn knows how to make
folks sing. The people catch
the enthusiasm .from him and
find themselves sinking as never
before. -"
The solos by Mr. Wolfsohn
were rendered in such a way as
to lead people to think of their
soul's salvation. ,.He has a fine
voice " and no better has been
heard in Goncord. Before the
meeting closes it isexpected that
many will be converted.
Twenty-eight were converted
yesterday.
Meetings are held at 9.30 a. m.
and at 8 p. m. Everybody in

A Negro Caught In the Back Yard.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Sunday
morning a negro, named Dolph
Fisher, came to the back door of
Mr. M JJFreeman's residence
and wanted admittance. From
his language one could tell that
he was either drunk or lost.
From the negro's tale that he
told Mr. Freeman it 1 seems that
he had been very drunk and was
sobering up when he found him
self in. this backyard at the porch.
He sobered up rapidly when Mr.
Freeman stepped out before him.
Nightwatchman .Carroll respond
ed to the call and escorted him to
jail to await a trial.
He twas-airaigiied before Mayor
Means for trespass. He has teen
sent to, the chaia gang to work
out his costs. He will be there
for thirty days.
