THE RISE IN NEWSPAPER.
Hone Up a Quarter of a Cent in the
Pound in Three Weeks.
New York, Sept. 20.—Newspaper has
gone lip a quarter of a cent a pound
within the last three weeks. The news
papers of New York city, according to
an official of the company, which sup
plies all but two of the papers printed in
this city, use 400 tons of paper daily at
a cost of two cents a pound. The recent
sharp advance means $2,000 a day more
•to the newspapers, or $730,000 a year
over the price which has heretofore oh
tained. The cost of the consumption is
now SIB,OOO a day. The tendency is to
raise the price still higher. The advance
is due partly to the drought of last sum
mer, which seriously impaired the water
power of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up a quarter
of a cent a pound, and letter paper from
% of a cent to one cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone up
from 2 1 /> to .» per cent, within the last
week, owing to the scarcity of cowhide
materials. Shoe manufacturers have
signed contracts with wholesale and re
tail shoe houses, which will not expire
for months to come and so the patrons of
retail houses will not feel the advance
until December. In the meantime the
manufacturers who have bound them
selves by contract tvill he the sufferers
from the rise in price. A sharper ad
vance has been made in the price of
crude sole leather. For two months the
cost has been steadily going up, and yes
terday it had advanced <i cents per
pound above the market price paid in
August. Still higher prices are looked
for by manufacturers.
The increased cost is due to the
scarcity of cattle as compared with the
demand.

AMINATIONS FLASH-LIGHT.
FORMIDABLE LASHES ARE ELOQUENT
Dr. Furgeson Given a Good Character by Sev
eral Witnesses. After Eximining Hal
ifax Farm Today the Committee
Will Return to Raleigh.
Halifax, N. (',, Sept. 20. —(Special.)—
Examination of witnesses by the Peni
tentiary' Investigating OimmnJttee began
this morning at ten o’clock and contin
ued until six o’clock this afternoon.
During the morning session, eight wit
nesses, summoned by Dr. 11. B. Fur
gesou, attending physician at Northamp
ton farm, were put on the stand. Their
evidence was in reply to charges made
against him, in the Raleigh Post on
September 7th, in which lie and Sum
mered were declared to lie equally guilty
and if one was discharged the other
ought to tie also.
Touching this mud other charges in
the same article the following witnesses
were put on the stand by Dr. Furgeson:
W. A. Salter, overseer: W. B. White
head. guard; E. C. Shearlu, supervisor
Halifax farm; E. L. Summerell, siqter
visor Northampton farm; John W. Bran
ham, corporal of guard; Geo. P. Bur
gw.vu, farmer, and E. L. Travis, attor
ney. All of these testified as to Dr.
Furgeson’s ability to deal with diseases
prevalent in this section and to the fact
that lie has always been at his post of
duty as attending physician, and that
nothing to (lie contrary has- ever Ifeen
charged, except in the article complained
of.
At the afternoon session of the com
mittee the witnesses summoned by Sum
merell in his own behalf were put on
the stand.
They wen* also eight in number as
follows:
Bold. Ransom, farmer; W. A. Wil
cox, who buys employes’ accounts at
discount; W. A. Sater, overst'er; C. O.
Bryant, steward); Geo. P. Burgwyn,
farmer; James S. Grant, SummereH's
brother-in-law; J. W. Branham, corpo
ral of guard; Dr. 11. B. Furgeson, phy
sician on Northampton farm. Also
Robt. .T. Day, brother to Siqierintendent
Day, was examined as to the maiuage
mi'ii of Halifax farm under Peter
Hughes. He testified in regard to cer
tain improper sales of crops.
f All of Summeroll's witnesses gave him
it good character, and none of them had
heard until recently any Intimation of
cruelty on his farm.
Most of them positively denied it;
but on cross-examination, all of them
told of various instances in which con
victs had been whipped. Some of them
very severely.
So strong and unequivocal was the
testimony of some of these men, espe
cially those employed on Summerell’s
farm, that when tin* committee ad
journed one felt like surmamlng the
noted supervisor “The Dove.”
Sun,morel] s brother-in-law, .Tames
Grant, had never heard any charge of
cruelty. He had been on the farm very
frequently, and In* had never seen any
thing in any manner resembling cruelty.
“You’ve seen him whip convicts now
and then, haven’t you,” he was asked.
”Oh yes, sir.”
“They don’t pay much attention to
tin* whipping of a negro in this county,
do they?”
“No sir.”
The lash used by Summerell, also tin
one said to have been used by Captain
Rhein, were shown in court, and the
committee took Charge of them. They
are most formidable instruments of pun
ishment. Rhein's is nineteen inches long
and one and a quarter inches wide, with
a handle nine inches long. SummereH's
is twenty-eight inches long and two to
two and three-quarter inches wide with
a handle nine and a half inches long.
The first twelve inches of Summer
oJl s lash is double sole leather and the
last sixteen inches is a single thickness.
Rhein s lash is a piece of old' hugg.v
trace.
Summerell and three or four more of
his witnesses will be examined tomor
row. beginning at nine o’clock.
Summerell and Dr. Furgeson are rep
resented by Captain' R. B. Peebles. This
is the first turn* I’ve ever known a
witness to have a lawyer. Examination
of thi“ remaining witnesses will consume
only two or three hours tomorrow. The
committee will then examine Halifax
farm and drive to Weldon, where they
will tiike tin* Atlanta Special for Ral
eigh.

Rennes, Sept. 20. —Captain Alfred
Dreyfus at three o’clock this morning
i left the prison here in which he had

Dreyfus met him at the train and ac
companied him to Nantes.
While this dramatic turn in the Drey
fus drama was taking place all Rennes
slept, and the departure of the famous
prisoner of Devil’s Island was no more
noticed than that of an ordinary travel
er.
The carriage which was in waiting
was the same vehicle which took Drey
fus to his prison when he returned from
Devil’s Island. Dreyfus got in opposite
the house where Maitre Labori hail
stayed previous to the attempt upon his
life, and alighted about 500 yards from
tin* station and walked 1 in regardless of
the drizzling rain. The Nantes train
came in just as he arrived. Alfred and
Mathieti Dreyfus quickly took their
seats, and the train went out of Rennes,
hearing Dreyfus away, a free man.
A small crowd of people had waited
round the prison until midnight ex
pecting tlie release of Dreyfus, hut. it
then disiversed, thinking it too late for
Dreyfus to leave.
Madame Dreyfus left Rennes at noon,
accompanied by her father and friends.

training from an attempt to secure pri
vacy. to avoid exciting curiosity and this
apparently succeeded. M. Viguier and
the policeman only went as far as the
first stop, Vertou, whence they returned
to Nantes to catch the 12:13 p. in. ex
