Detectives Also Follow Fu ? gitive But He Eludes Thehi. The Wounded Man is Still Alive and His Condition is Hopeful. Story of the Crime. Rennes, Aug. 14. Maitre Lab'ori, (the bri'Mlaht young attorney, who to asso ciated with M. Demange in the 'defense of Dreyfus, was shot ithis morning at 7:30 by an unknown assassin. The following bulletin, signed by Doctors Renaud, Reichis, Brissaud and Viday, was Issued at 8:20: "Maitre Labori was shot from behind, the ball penetrating the posterior region of the thorax, on the right side, a)t the height of the siixth dorsal vertebrae. A heavy flow of blood prevents exploration of the depth of the wound." STILL. AT LARGE. iLabori'e assailant has not yet been captured, and it Is doubtful if he will be. There was no incident in the his tory of his flight. Pursuit was made Within an hour after the shot was fired by four squadrons of oayalry two reg iments of infantry, a hundred, detec itivee and many others -wert on 'the man's track, yet he eluded ail by sbeer recklessness and luck. Tour correspondent followed the fugitive's moveninitfri or six ; hours af ter the crime. He ' nan ! along, the, west bank of the canal. Colonel Picquart and! Labori'af valeits were in "dose pursuit. The man fled into the swamp, 'but when the policemen came up th-y refused to enter, saying they had noth ing but sabres against a revolver. When help arrived, the fugitive had gained on them and the pursuiit there after was conducted in so slovenly a manner that their quarry easily escap ed. Tonight the infantry marchei back to Rennes 'but the cavalry are still scouring the country. Many believe that Labori was the real object of attack, as his cross-es-amlnaition of opposing witnesses was most dreaded. Maitre Demange is n5w carefully guarded. Rennes has accepted the shooting with absolute sang froid. A man was arrested on suspicion of befing Labori's assailant, but he proved to be Engenad Gallous, and account ed for his movements this morning and so was let go. OUTLOOK HOPEFUL. Xiabori had a sinking- spell this after noon and it was feared he would coto- ilo.rvna Vvmf o Vvnllaf in Hoc n o I 'Htt "hfk rl rr - tors this evening says the patient's con dition is unchanged. Mme. Labori says her hushand has suffered 'greatly since 3 o'clock. There has'been no internal hemorrhage : consequently the ouitilook is hopeful. ANOTHER ARREST. London, Aug. 14. A. despatch to the PpTTitral News from Paris says a man named Valle, resembling the descrip tion of the criminal, has been arrested ait Montmarte. The Rennes correspond ent of the Chronicle reports that La bori's assailant has been arrested onthe road between Sa5n,t Lawrent and Saint ae-oire. but this is trobably an echo F - of Gallous' arrest. NIPPED IN THE BUD. London, Aug. 14. The Daily News correspondent says the attack on La bori was only the tail of, a storm which would have swept over Rennes, had the plot hatched in Paris succeed ed. The plot was to have ripened into revriiiiit'innarv demonstrations on. tne boulevards Sunday but the govern ment's prompt action in arresting the T-i-ncr ipnipr 'ninned T:he Scheme 4n'the m. iiiQ ---jr r- bud. . . ' AFTER THE SHOOTING The incident of the shooting caused exeat excitement. A number of labor ers heard shouts of "murder!" "Stop Mm!" raised by pursuers, and- one placed himself in the way of the mur derer, who, covering him with his re- vaIvm. Khmited. "Let me pass: I have shot Dreyfus." The man was so tak en aback he drew aside and allowed the assassin to proceed. The murderer ran : across fields until he reached the vil lage of Chanitepie, wherehe was lost to view. .. Colonel Picquart and brother-in-law, who accompanied M. Labori to the Ly cee, pursued the murderer for some dis taaicebut were unable to eont'tiini the Tvnmiu and returned to the side of the wounded man, leaving the hase of the murderer to the. laborers ana peasants. tlMadame labori -was promptly noti fied of the crime aaid, rushed to her hus- i,,ldei.',She. found.-Jiim" wivn ms head on fhlilectnSk.jajkd'pJY rr I Labori was perfecUy stilL Not a groan -trora his lips asjbrestedun:thei He tried to - smile while1 tnV tears glis tened in-. ni7. w&e'e- eyes, j&ut-sae. mas tering her f eelfags, , herofcaflfy did ev erything possible to ease her husband's agony. ;. One of the physicians attending La bor! said of him this" mornlngr "He hate been to bed and is being watched by hi wife. He has spoken, tlltfnot aJbwMit himself. Always e but: tfie tWaJl. We 11 have strong hopes that ;het will. through and have sent, anr ' optimistfo telegram.1 to his family: iVe nave 10 thank a military urgeon for almost the flrsf afctentiorr given tot the sufferer. He came on hearing the, ties- wttliont hesitation. But a aeploraI length of time elapsed before the. amab'aTKje ar rived. M". Labori lay ontv- tle ground half an hour with the sky manacing a storm which came within a few min-r utes after-we reached' hi hofme." ANTI-DREYFUS FEELING Chicago, Aug. r4.r The --Hecord's cor respondemt at Rennes cable: The feeling prevailing la Rennes is almost unanimously anti-Dreyfus, and Rennes tit' is one of" the bttrious feat ures of the situation f airrjr' reflects the opinion of'aW provfneiat Brajnce: Out sidle of Paris the Dreyf usards are con fined almost . wholly to Jews, the Free masons and the Profcesrt&nts. This mdrning I' had a conversation on this point with M. Victor Baeeh, the mili tary professor in the UniveTBiity of Rennes, and leader of the little revi sionist party here. His house is still guarded" by the police. He has been mobbed two of three times" and the life of himself aMd his family endTarrgered. The professor preserves in his study half a dozen stones, one of them as 'big as one's two fists, that have been thrown through his windows. "When we began the struggle ih:. favor of Dreyfus," he saiid, "We were seven in' number and" 'had the- f oust newspapers against us. What we wanted to say to the public we had to print and post on the walls at night a considerable ex pense. We finally brought over to our cause the editor of one of the papers, a woman. This Woman- and" everybody else who stood with us were boycottedC My wife's social relation's were eJrnijst wholly broken off, butfc I am happy to say tthe workingmen generally were on our sfide. If Captain Dreyfus is again condemn ed many "of his friends will 'T&e forced to leave Rennes and seek their 'living else where. Though I am of af rather pes- simlstiic temperament, 1. feel'- to the bottom of my soul thait he! .will be ac quitted but only after la long and bitter fight." 5 . Returning home r noticed;a gendarme standing guard' in froriilrf a large eounttrv hboise. On inorins- of- a countryman I was itold tfiat General 1 Mereier was staying1 there. This, how ever, is a guard of honor, -la wha .coia- ttrast to the policemen why watcjtr B;asch's residence! They 'are there to proitect the advocate of legality from his fanatical enemies. The isolKSer at the general's door !is-there to do honor (to ihim who corrrmittied the illegality. The antitthesi's well illustrates' ithe per version in the public mind pfoduced by this affair.. The plot evidently thickens. It is felt here this evening, even hy the coolest head, 'that the decisive TnornexHt is at hand. A prominent official who arriv ed here from Paris this evening says that the ireport of the illness of Colonel du Party de Clam (is not true. He is simply trying to escape testifying alt Rennes, 6ince he dare not face Captain Dreyfus. GUERIN CONTINUES TO HOLD OUT Paris, Aug. 14'. A fresh warrant for Guerin. presidienitl of the Anti-Semetic league, was issued this afternoon, and it is again rumored tht troops and police at 'daybreak will assault tne place where he has fortified himself. Guerin and party are Incurring risk of penal' servitude by holding out. M'KOY WINS A BOUT Joplin, Mo., Aug. 14. Kid McCoy knocked out Jim Carter, the (heavy weight champion of Alabama, in the fifth round here tonight. Carter was to stand ud ten rounds but the "Kid" sent him "flown five tiroes and could have finished the fight Sni the first round had he so flfsired. STORM INCREASING Washington, Aug. 14.

New Orleans, Aug. 14. Henry M. Neill, the cotton crop expert, is out with a forecast indicating that the crop now maturing may reach the unprece dented total of 12,000,000 bales. Mr. 0NeiPl points out that his predictions In other years have been remarkably aecurater and adds: "For the present crop I am satisfied that on an average the promise per acre is fully equal, if not superior, to that of last year a this date. The temperature has been per fect, and rainfgalls generally sufficient, and that opportune, with alternation of fine weather, so that the crop is now very far advanced, and so heavily fruited that with ordinary weather a large crop is assured in every state. "Texas, with the exception of the loss in the Brazos valley, which w911 hardly reach one hundred bales, has been peculiarly favored with alternate rain ant sunshine, and pow promises the best crop to the acre ever known." Mr. ONeill points out that the crop will soon Tie 5ndependeht of the weath er, though much shedding may be re ported. SPEAKER REED HAS RETURNED FROM EUROPE Rumored that He will Lead Anti Ex pansion Forces in Congress. Washington, Aug. 14. The return of Speaker Reed from toirope has start- ea arresn tne rumors that he will not retire from public life at present, but will remain in congress and1 head the anti-expansiionisn movement. This course is to be taken, it is argued, for the purpose of securing the presiden tial nomination in 1900 against McKin- ley, Reed evidently believing that there is strong sentiment against imperial- ism among republicans. The same ru- I mor has it that Reejl doesn't wish to be speaker and will noiU aggresively lead the opposition, in the house during the I next session, mow Departure From Saratoga Will Not Abate Ardor cf His Friends.

BecordLMada by the Hook and Ladder Company Yesterday. The exfiibitfon run, of Hook and Lad der company No. 1 was given at Bilt- more yesterday afternoon on the street running from All Souls' church toward the railroad track. The distance was three hundred yards, and althoueh the track was a trifle rough and heavr. it was level and made a very good course on which to make a fair test of the qualities-of the team. The tearn makea a three hundred yard run from a standing start, stops, takes out the ladder, throws it up against the building; a cDImber goes up, comes down, and" the ladder is put hack on the truck. This was done on the first 'trial yesterday-In 46 1-5 seconds. The second" time a better start was obtained, and the time was 45 4-5. The time made iru Greensboro this year was 47 3-4 seconds. When our-team won the championship in 1898 the time was 45 seconds. R. E. Clevenger, the driver, must get the full speed out of the horses, and stop them in the quickest time possible, and at 'the right place so the ladder can be taken out In-the shortest time and be in the right 'place. Then the ladder Is taken out by J. S. Fullam, foreman; C. H. Miller, S. P. Berton, W. J. McElratfff, E. H. Clevenger. C. F: Hare, G; p. Brown, N. H. Turbyfill, W.. M. Browrt knd C .M. McElraJth and thrown up. William Ward then climbs the 'ladder, starting before it is at rest. He touches the top rounds and .then sjides to the bottom where he te caught by two of Tns comrtades. The ladder is then put back in the wagon and all done In the amazingly short time- of 45 4-5 seconds. This company as well as the hose company is a volunteer company. The two drivers are paid a salary and take care of the horses and stay at the fire headquarters all the time. The rest of the company receive no pay, but are exempted from taxes, and do their no ble Work in the interest of the town. Asheville lis indeed to be congratulated upon- her efficient fire department, which is both the fastest and the best equipped in the state.
