Bexkes, France (By Cable).?llaltre La bori's return to court was like a royal processioa. The entire line of the route o! Dreyfas's chief counsel, who has just recovered from the effects of the assassin's bullet, from Professor Basch's hou3e on the Hue Dantraln to the Lycee, a disv tance of a mile, was lined with gendarmes stationed fifty yards apart. The populace, attracted by this unusual precaution, made quite a showing along the sidewalks. Laborl's pirty came la two landaus, the first containing Labor!, Mme. Labori, Professor Basch and Jaures; the second Hennlon's deputy and three other police agents, while two more ol Hennlon's men.on bloyoles preceded thr carriage, on the lookout for possible danger.

Complimentary speeches were exchanged between the President ot the court and fcfaltre Laborl. The Dreyfusarda and the anti-Dreyfusards are beginning to show a gcpater cordiality toward each other. The evldenoe given was of no value whatsoever, although Captain Dreyfus ex- j hlblted great irritation when Captain Lemolne tried to fix the charge of treason against the prisoner, on the groand that he bad-seen him at the German manoeuvreg in Mulhause, Alsace. The Ave hours' session was crowded full of dramatio situations and incidents. The man who has become a scarcely less conspicuous figure than the prisoner himself, j returned to the stage ana the whole atmo? sphere of the scene changed instantly. Nobody can understand the spectaole which they watched with wondering eyes. Maitre Laborl, though wounded. Is a giant o( * strength, energy and valor. He seemed more than a man as be plunged into the fray, striking mighty blows, which speedily drove the enemy into their la3t de- | fences, and now it is known at last what those defences are. Labor! compelled General Mercler tc admit by his refusal to answer questions that he wasin possession ot secrets of the French Department pertaining to the case which he bad received since he ceased tc be Minister of War. Colonel Bertin, who commanded Dreyfua'3 department when the prisoner was degraded, was foroed to admit that he in a conversation with M.

WORST DROUGHT IN YEARS Farming Interests in New York State Suffering For Lack of Rain. Crops Are Below the Average and Stock of All Kinds Are Being Driven Long Distances to Water. Medina, N. Y. (Special*).?The worst drouth In many years Is afflicting Orleans County and Western New Yorlc. A six weeks' drouth in May and June was re* lieved by only slight showers, and it is now snTAn woalra ?lnr?A therA liftq hAAn I rain of any consequence. For several weeks there have been no dews even, no moisture of any sort. Hay was less than one-half of a crop, wheat, oats and barley yielded far below the average, and beans, corn and potatoes are almost rained. The damage can scarcely be estimated. Cucumbers for the pickling factories are less than one-sixth of a orop, and wilt on the vines. Small fruits have dried up on the bnsbes, unripe. Apples are a small crop anyway, and the dronth Is baking them on the trees. The quality promised to be extra fine, but the fruit will be ruined unless a rain comes. There bas been no soaking rain since April. The woods and country are like tinder, and bushes and stubble are burning In many places. Streams and wells are drying up, and stock is suffering for water. There is a dangerous scarcity of water for fighting fire in many villages. Pastures are dried up, and in many Instances farmers are feeding stock in barns, as though it were in winter. Or'eans County has experienced nothing like this in many years.

Few of the standing crops will amount to anything If ths drouth con* tlnues. Field corn ha9 not eared well and will be seventy-five ner cent; barley, eighty per cent; buckwheat, is an uncertainty, but will soon will be blasted without rain. The potato crop, an important crop here, is suffering materially. Beans were- extensively planted and promised remarkably well six weeks ago, out are now prematurely yellow H.ud will be a half crop. Fruit has begun to fall on account of the dry season, especially the pears. ERIE COUNTY BARE AND BROWN. Farmeri and Market Gardener* Will Loie Heavily by the Drouth. Buffalo, N. Y. (Special).?The drouth which affects all of Erie and the whole or large portions of the adjoining counties is tho most severe in years. No rain of consequence has fallen since the latter part of of June, and the farmers and market gardeners will lose heavilv. Wheat and hav largely escaped, but later crops and pasturage are In bad shape. Grass fields are brown and bare. Stock is also suffering from the scarcity of water. Many wells and springs never before known to fall have gone dry. Fruit will be cut down one-third, and at least one thousand acres of tomatoes in the town of Hamburg alone will be practloally ruined. In the interior corn and potatoes will not be half crops, and other late crops are on an equal footing. BIDS FOR FALL RIVER MILLS. Syadlcate Wants to Unite Thirty PrintCloth Corporation!.Fall Riveb, Mass. (Special).?A formal offer has been made for the stock of thirty of the principal cotton mills here, representing a capital of $18,153,700. The offer came through tbe firm of Barrow, Wade, Guthrie A Co., of New York and London, acting in the interests of capitalists who propose to consolidate the print-cloth mills of the city. The yarn mill trust went through easily enough, but it was a small affair compared with this. The fine goods 1 mills are not Included and the Iron Works Corporation is emitted, a3 it is controlled bv a printer, M. C. D. Borden. The prices often vary and may not prove satisfactory. Mills that have not earned a dividend In a long time are to get a better bonu9than some that have been making eight per cent. In fact, tbe promoters have not been urgent In bidding to the paying concerns. . BAHAMA DEAD S<X HUNDRED. Probably a Million Dollars' Damage Don* by the Hurricane. Miami. Fla.

The Church of St. Joseph was broken Into and the Interior wrecked in a aI aa/?l1i>?lnni fnnf Tha . WBU ? rioting was suppressed by the police sad Republican Guards only after fierce fighting. The Prefecture of Police Rives the following statistics of the rloia: Three hundred and eighty persons were injured. Three hundred and sixty were taken to the Lariboisiere and St. Louis hospitals. Fifty-nine police agents were wounded, besides Gommlssaires Gouller and Domslmone. One hundred and fifty peraoos were arrested, of whom eighty are detained lu ; custody. The trouble originated in an attack made by Anarchists on Anti-Semites. A thousand Anarchists UQder Sebastian Faure assembled in the Place de la Republfque and resisted the police who attempted to disperse them. A police commissary and an Inspector Attempted to arrest some rioters who were uarrying a red flag, but they were trampled upon and beaten with bludgeons. A number of shots were fired by the -mob. The inspector was mortally Injured by the cIuds, and the commissary was hit by a bullet, receiving a serious wound. Four other policemen were stabbed. Notwithstanding their defeat the police made a number of arrests, among tbelr prisoners being Faure. Subsequent to the rioting in the Place de la Republlque the mob rushed to Rue St. Maur, where they stormed the churches of 8t. Maur and St. Joseph. They entered the buildings, and wbi e some of them tore down the altars and pulpits, other*, seized the sacred pictures, holy vessel* and the Host, the consecrated wafers, all of which were thrown into the street. The altars and pulpits furnished wood for a bonfire, and all the seized church property was burned. A similar scene was enacted at St. Nicholas'^ Churob. Tbe mob tried to burn the ohurche3, but failed. While the rloter9 were storming St. Nicholas's Church they were charged by police and cavalry, but they succeeded In carrying out tbelr plan despite the efforts to disperse them. Tbe sacking of the churches recalls tbe excesses committed by the Oommunlsts in 1371. The mob which attacked St. Joseph's Church carried hatchet* and long knives, which they had stolen from the counters of various shops. The aged sacristan, f seeing the rioters coming, hastily closed .yc the outer gate9, but Ills precaution was futile. The mob attacked the gates with hatohets and long bars of iron, and soon forced them open. The oak doors were . next attacked. They finally gave ^ay and , the crowd burst into the church. The six side altars and baptismal font were thrown to toe gi-ouna. xae aoiy wmor stoups were broken, pictures were torn, and the statues and other devotional obeots were thrown to the floor and smashed fi to pieces. Next the mob attacked the high altar. The tabernacle was torn from Us place. The sacred hosts were thrown on the ground and trampled upon, aadthecandlestlcks were broken. A figure of the Saviour hanging on a great cross above the altar was made the alm'for all sorts of missiles, and was fractnred In several places. While some sung tbe "Carmagnole," the rioters seized the chatis and carried them to the small square In front of the church, where a bonfire was made of them. Not content with the destruction that had been wrought, some of the mob returned to the sanctuary and succeeded in pulling down 2 tbe crucifix, which they then threw Into the flames. Some one raised the cry that the statue of the Virgin had been forgotten. Bs.ck , Into tbe church poured the crowd and quickly they polled down inn imago. When the police had routed the mob and entered the church the Anarchists hadjast Bet flrq to the pulpit,-which they had been unable to destroy. The interior of the chnrch (s simply a wreck. Saveral valuable oM pictures u were destroyed and they can never be replaced. A lamentable feature of the affair Is that It will be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus demonstration and react greatly to the detriment of the chances of acquittal. ., NO ANTMMPcRIALIST PARTY.
