H Asheville North Carolina ; iBERTILLOH wmm rHis Great Scheme Proved to be Only a Farce. (The Judges Take Great Interest in the Ex posure, The Bordereau- Aloue Decide Dreyfus' Fate. May en place in the past' twenty-four hours, and hope and confidence 'has b3n re newed in the utltimalte triamph of truth. Today's proceedings in the couit room were important since the chimer ical structure was destroyed which a crack-brained fanatic had reared in laboratory of science. Bertillon lis beiing driven mad with rage and grief by the exposure oE his strange idiocincracy.The world at large knows Dreyfus did not write the bor dereau, but lit is becoming evident that it'his old issue will almost alone decide the prisoner's fate. The first indication of this was the at titude of the judges who have taken a great interest in Bertillon's exposure and have treated well the experts who acknowledge Esterhazy wrte ihi oor- dereau. There are other reasons sug gesting the end toward which the case is tending. It.ehould be remembered the gon?r.".i staff has faiiled to produce a scrap of evidence showing the important bor dereau was ever delivered to a foreign power and the judges can therefore ac quit the prieoner without, in thoir opin- lion, condemning their Superiors of ion- spiracy or the use of illegal measures against Dreyfus in 1894, basing their verdict upon expena testimony. e Mercier and Roget now plainly see drift of events and it lis reported 0 nightnighit that they are in desperate circumstances and will have recourse ibo desperate means, insisting tnav Dreyfus was a traitor tin partnership with Esterhazy and Weill. THE COURT MARTIAL. Rennes, Aug. 28. When the fourth week of the court-martial of Dreyfus opened this mornimg, General Mercier was present, thus settling at rest re ports as to his 'having fled and ihie ar rest. The first witness was M. Paray Ja- val, a draughtsman called by the de fense to refute the system by which M. Berltiillton attempted to prove the pris oner wrote the bordereau in a disguised hand. General Mercier was not very cheer ful today. He hardly said a wora 10 General Gonse, but during the suspen- siion or tne couti s sirung n vjcu- rnii ffnrsp and Roeret walked up and down the court yard of Itihe Lycee en gaged in conversation.

Crash Came Without a Min- Wamfag,; Cach ing Forty Men, Six are Killed, Seven Injured and Several More Missing, Loss Will be About $40,000 Which is Borne by Pittsburg Bridge Company. Chicago, Aug. 28. Without! a mo ment's warning the immense steel frame work of the Colliseum building, in process of construction on the site of the old Libby prison war museum on the east side of Wabash avenue, collapsed this evening, carrying with it forty workmen who were putting the finishing touches upon the arches. So far six have been recovered, while three more are known to be missing and are believed to be buried in the ruins. Seven were injured, three prob ably fatally. x All the killed and injured were work men, many of whom were not residents of Chicago. I'ti is believed that fau'ty engineering and imperfect work of the contractors were responsible for the ac cident. The men in charge represent the Pittsburg Bridge company, and they refuse to give out information re garding the men employed, and a com plete list of the casual'Cies will probably not be learned until the debris is clear ed away. One theory Is that the sand under the foundation shifted under the im mense weBgiht and unsettled the base of ithe arches. . The will fall upon the Pittsburg- Bridge company and will exceed $40,000. The Colliseum win also lose heavily, as the building will not be ready for any of the big attractions, such as the horse show. The collapsed structure was 304 feet long, 172 feet wide, and completed would have been 85 feet' high. CENTRAL LABOR UNION. Labor Day Committee Appointed at the Meeting Last Evening.
