List of Dead Is
Nearly forty persons were killed by'
an accident on the Stratford extension
of tbeShelton Street Railway Company
at Bridgeport, Conn., Svnday after
noon, when a loaded trolley car went
off the trestle over Peck's millpond at
Oronoque, about six miles north of
the city, and sank in the flats forty
feet below. Thus far thirty-one people
are known to be dead and several more
. injured. .
Only two persons are known to hove
escaped uhharmed.
It is believed that there were forty
three passengers on .the car, but the
- indicator was removed by a conductor
of another car and spirited away,' so
, that at present it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport The
car was north-bound, running toward
Shelton. It was in charge of Conduc
tor John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who
' was among the killed, and Motorman
; Hamilton, of Bridgeport, who escaped
by jumping.
The trestle 440 feet long, , made of
iron, with stone foundations, and was
not protected by guard rails. South
' of the trestle is an incline down which
the car ran at a high rate of speed.
After it ran onto the trestle for about
. ten feet, the trucks left the rails and
then the car continued on the ties for
about seventy-five feet,' when it went
; off the trestle and dropped into the
pond below, overturning completely
. and up-ending. When the car struck,
, the four -ton motor and , the heavy
trucks crushed into it, instantly kill-
ing many of the passengers.
. Three physicians, -who were passen
gers on a car a short distance behind,
arrived quickly on the seene and ren
dered all possible assistance to the in
, ju red. Word was sent to Bridgeport
and three ambulances were hurried to
the scene..
The Injured were taken to Bridge--ort
general hospital. A morgue was
improved in the tub room of the
town hall at Stratford and in a very
- f hot time twenty-three bodies were
laid out awaiting identification. '
. The accident was witnessed bv Miss
Francis Peck, who resides ; about 400
feet from" the bridge. She -was' up
at her home as the car was tass-
Jpgr and she says it was running unu
sually fast. Frank Cramer, who .was
bathing near the bridge, states that
the passengers were all singing and in
the most joyful mood as they passed
.him.

AGCHHEKTS
Many Scenes of Horror.
Yet Incomplete. ..
At Bar Harbor, Maine, Sunday,
while a crowd of excursionists were
on the way to the warships, a slip
leading from the xlock to the boat, at
Mount Desert ferry broke, precipitat
ing more than 100 into the water!
Twenty bodies had been recovered
up to 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
It is estimated that the dead will num
ber thirty or more. Seventeen were
drowned and three died from the ter
rible experience of immersion in the
water and injuries while struggling for
life. -
The Maine Central railroad ran ex
cursions to Bar Harbor from alt sec
tions of its line in Maine, the attrac
tion being the warships which were
expected during the day.
All the morning long trains packed
with excursionists were rushing to Bar
Harbor. The train which left Bangor
at 8:25 consisted of twelve cars jammed
with people. At Mount Desert ferry,
the terminus of the line, the passen
gers have to leave the train and take
the boat for an 'eight-mile sail to Bar
Harbor. s
From the wharf a slip or gang-plank
forty feet long and ten feet wide led
up to the boat. The slip was hinged
at the inner end, the outer, end being
supported by chains by which it was
raised or lowed to suit the tide. It is
said that there was no support for the
plank between the hinges and the
outer end.
Whenv the excursiow train from
Bangor arrived at tho ferry there was
a rush for tho eteamer Sappho. The
first few passengers had crossed the
gang plank fafely, and it is estimated
that 200 people were massed upon the
plank. Suddenly they felt the plank
give way beneath them.
The long timbers supporting the
plank broke in the middle. The hinges
held up one end and the? chain the
other, while the' broken ends of the
plank dropped, and a struggling,
screaming mass of hrimanity was
plunged into the water fifteen feet be
low the wharf. A few clung to the
inclined sides of the plank, but at
least 150 were struggling in the water.
'After the first moment of stupefac
tion, the work of rescue began. Ropes
and life preservers were thrown to tho
crowd, but in the panic the people in
the water clutched one another and
many sank thus in groups in a death
grapple.
Many taken from the water were
unconscious and were revived with
difficulty.

i There was a spirited discussion over,

effect thai the mayor's downfall was
due to a prominent stockholder in one
of the street railway oompanies.

honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 8th inst. informing
me of the arrangements proposed fbr
ray reception in Washington also of a
telegram of similar import sent by; the
secretary of the navy. .
I am deeply sensible of the high
honor your . committee proposes to
confer upon me and have telegraphed
to the secretary that; the arrangements
approved by the president and by him
afe entirely agreeable to' me. I note
with pleasure that it is proposed to
make the-exercises as simple as possi
ble. It is impossible ' at this time to
fix the date of my arrival in Washing

information on that -point as soon as
possible. .-. t . ' '
Thanking the committee for the
great honor it has paid, me, and you
personally ior your courteous letter, I ;
am very truly yours, . , -
Okoboe Dewey.
-An interesting historical fact dating
back to 1873 has come to light in
which Admiral Dewey was the pentral
figure. Dewey, then a commander,
was in command of the United States
ship Narragansett on the Asiatic sta
tion, having taken charge of the ves
sel on March 1, 1873 The vesseTtfas
on surveying duty when the Virginius
trouble was precipitated and a war
with Spain seemed imminent.
Dewey wrote to the navy depart
ment, requesting that in case war was
declared he would be assigned to tho
duty of capturing Manila. The peace
ful settlement of the controversy with
Spain avoided the necessity for a hos
tile demonstration, but the interesting
fact is that the doughty officer had his
eye on Manila Over a quarter of a cen
tury ago. A search will be made for
the letter in the files of the navy-department,
and, if found, it is expected
an effort will be made by the citizens
committee to have it reproduced' as a
souvenir of the reception.

DREYFUS TRIAL
IS UNDER WAY
French Captain Is Again Arraigned
At Rennes, France. r
PRISONER DECLARES INNOCENCE
A Number of Notable Witnesses
Are Absent From the
Courtmartial.
The proceedings of the courtmartial
before Which Captain Drejftts is On
trial Opened at Eennes, France- Mon
day morning at 7 o'clock. Captain
Dreyfus entered the courtroom with a
firm step, though his features were
pallid.- He is partly bald, and what
hairfce Jias is partly gray and close
cropped. : - , x
. He answered the formal questions of
the judge as to his name, age, etc., in
a clear determined voice. He sat fac
ing the judges with his hands resting
on his knees, an impassable figure.
The trial opened, so far as Bennea is
concerned, in an atmosphere of per
fect 'tranquility. The, population is
apparently indifferent A small crowd,
at the most fifty persons, had gather
ed outside the entrance to the Lycee
by 6 o'clock. A majority of these
were journalists.
Fifteen minutes later the prefect of
police gave the order to close the
avenue De la Gare for 300 yards in
front of the Lycee and also by streets
leading to the avenue. The gendarmes
were immediately drawn up along the
avenue and the space lit front of the
Lycee .was cleared of all spectators!'
, The erbwdj which by that time Lad
increased to a few "hundred- was kept
by the gendarmes at a distance of -150
yards on either side of this passage.
Captain Dreyfus emerged from the
military prison nnder escort of a lieu
tenant and four gendarmes. He cross
ed the railroad quickly and disap
peared within the Lycee, the hedge of
Boldiers hiding him from view. 1
The official list of the members of
the;otirt is as follows:
i President, Colonel Jbuaust, director
in the engineer corps; Lieutenant Col
onel Brongniart, director of the school
of artillery; Major de Broon, of the
Seventh regiment of artillery; Major
Pronllet, of the Tenth regiment of ar
tillery; Major Merle, of the Seventh
recriment of artilleryc Captain Farfant,
of the Seventh regiment of artillery;
Captain Beauvais, the Seventh reg
iment of artillery. '
' Notable Witnestee Abeent.
On the court proceeding to the roll
call of witnesses, the most notable ab
sentees being Esterhazy, Du Paty de
Clam and Mme. Pays, Dreyfus half
turned his head toward the seats of
the witnesses, especially when, the
clerk of the court, called Esterhazy.
But when no response was received,
Dreffus returned to his previous attl-
tude, looking straight in front of him
at ColonelJouaust
Altogether about one hundred wit
nesses will be called on both sides.
Major Carriere, the 'government'a
commissary, then said that in view of
the official mission of General Cha
nonine and Mi Paleologue to furnish
the ccurt with all the necessary expla
nations respecting the secret dossier,
their depositions, as witnesses, would
be dispensed with, adding that the
consideration of the dossier, would
probably occupy four days.
Dreyfne Breaks Down.
When the trial begun Col. Jouaust
handed the prisoner a long list of card
board, upon which the bordereau was
pasted. O .
"Do you recognize this document?"
DreyfUs replied 'with a passionate
outburst: - 'No, my colonel, I am m
nocent. I declare it here as I declar
ed it in 1694, 1 am a victim." His voice
here was choked with sobs, which must
have stirred every spectator in court.
It resembled the cry of a wounded am
' mal. -
" As he ended his reolr with the
words: "Five years in the galley!
My wife! My children! My God! I
am . innocent, innocent." Colonel
Jouaust said:
"Then you deny it?"
Dreyfus replied: "Yes, my colonel."

Mr. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfrid
intimated that in the present, state of
public feeling in the United States as
indicated in the press it wpuld not be
entirely safe for tho governor general
and himself to visit Chicago, as tie
feared that they might, in a great gath- -ering
of such , a character as the Chi
cago ceremony, be subjected to some
unpleasantness or " indignity by
thoughtless persons.
Sir Wilfrid expressed himself in
favor of arbitrating the Alaskan bound
ary dispute and concluded the inter
view as follows: -
"So, much as I regret, I could not
go to Chicago under present condi
tions and must, however a painful
duty it may be, adriso his excellency
to decline the invitation that I know
and feel has been so kindly extended
