New Yokk, Aug. 20. R. G. Dun &
Co. 's weekly review of tnulu issued to
day said iu part:
Nothing is more eloquent than the
facts. Actual, paymeuts through the
principal clearinghouses for tho week
were 26. 1 per ceut larger than last year
and 56.2 per ceut larger than in tho same
week in 1892. For the month thus far
the dailv average of payments has been
26.2 per cent larger tliau last year and
56 per cent larger thau in Jbl2. " Ton
nage from Chicago iu three weeks have
been 80.70 per cent larger than last year
and 74.66 larger than in 1892. It will
not be suggested by anybody that such
an astonismng increase over the most
Erosperous ot all past years except the
ist was expected. Most people really
regarded last year's expansion as some
thing like a freak. Nor is the differ
ence in amount of payments mainly
due to rise iu prices, for prices of sev
eral hundred articles actually range
lower now ou tho whole than in August,
18U2.
It is a consumers' business also. Per
haps never before have demands for
actual use controlled business and prices
with so little speculation to anticipate
higher markets. In' fact the rise in
most articles has gone further than
speculative opinions have warranted.
Practically all industries are some
months behiud the requiremeuts for
actual use, and in many much of the
output next year is already sold.
Ironworks which supply Pittsburg
are sold up far into 11XX), and can do
nothing though prices much beyond
what they received are paid by those
who must have irou tliis year. The en
ormous demand for more railroads, and
rails and cars, more vessels, warehouses
and buildings, to handle the extraordin
ary business in progress, cannot be
met as quickly as men would like, and
work of all sorts is delayed, from the
bijrgest war vessel to the smallest fac
tory. The demand for woolen goods has
gone beyond all expectations. The sales
ot wool are enormous, 35,677,190 pounds
in four weeks, 30,119,940 pounds being
domestic, with prices generally un
changed though concessions are now
made to secure sales in some hues.
Reports of injury to wheat in the
northwest have affected the. market,
but only for a day or two, the price
closing three-quarters of a cent lower
for the week.
Atlantic exports were slightly larger
than last year.
Corn exports continue heavy, in four
weeks 10,723,524 bushels, against 9,318,
113 for the same weeks last year and
rose 1'8 cents during the week.

Reception to Rev. and

Arlington Street Church Has Increased
Membership Leaves With Regret.
Members of the Arlington Street
Congregational church on Friday
evening tendered a farewell reception
to their pastor, Rev.E. T. MacMahon
who with his family will leave next
Wednesday for Cleveland, where
Mr. MacMahon has been called to
the pastorate of the Grace Congrega
tional church, that city.
The farewell reception was well
attended by members of tho congre
gation and other friends of the
pastor. An informal program was
enacted, and light refreshments
served. The pastor was presented
with a fine book case and a lamp as
tokens, of respect from the congrega
tion. Communion services will be held
at the church Sunday morning and
in the evening the pastor will preach
his farewell sermon.
In the four years and a half, or
more, that Rev. Mr. MacMahon has
been in Akron his influence and la
bors have been a power for good
wherever used to further the gospel,
and its truths, not alone has his in
fluence been felt as a preacher, but
also as a citizen. In that locality,
where the church is located, material
improvements linvu bemi made
made through his efforts and advice.
The social element of the community
has advanced as well as the spiritual.
In his ministerial duties the pastor
has been ably assisted by his noble
wife, to whom a d.ebl of love and
gratitude is owed by the community
in which the church was lorntpd.
Rev. Mr. MacMahon came to Akron-from
Guy's Mills, Pa. When
he first assumed the pastorate
of the church, but 23 members
were enrolled on the church list,
now there are more than SO!
Then the congregation was in debt
$4,500, now it is but $800 and $300 of
that will be paid this year about
October.
Many persons will recall the Sun
day afternoon services conducted by
Mr. MacMahon at the Grand Opera
House winter before last, how that
at times standingroom could scarcely
be obtained. During that winter
Rev. Mr. Mac Mahon preached three
sermons a day morning, noon and
evening.
The pastor says that is with regret
that he leaves Akron, as he loved all
his church members, and liked Ak
ron and her people.
At a meeting Thursday night it
was" decided by the congregation to
not extend a call to any pastor for a
while simply to have the pulpit
supplied each Sunday by various
mininisters.

Kex.nus, Aug. 20. When tho opening
of the fifth sessiou of the third week of
the Mjcontl trial by conrtmarcial of Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfus of the artillery,
charged with trva-ou, occurred, the
clerk of the court read a medical cer
riiicite, tigued by two doctors whose
uauius were unknown to the audience,
declaring it was impossible for Colonel
Du Paty de Clam to leav e his bed, come
to Renues and testify.
Alaitre Labori, leading counsel for the
defense, asked the president of the
court, Colonel Jotuust, to instruct two
well-known medical men to examine
Du Paty de Clam, but Colonel Jouanst
refused.
Rowland Strong, an English news
paper man, was then called to the wit
ness bar and deposed to tho fact that
Major Count Ksterhazy confessed to
him that he wrote tno famous bor
dereau. Replying to the court, Mr. Strong
said tuat Esterhazy, while admitting
the authorship of the bordereau, said
tho documents enumerated in it had
been betrayed by Dreyfus to Germany.
il. Henri Weill, a former officer of
the headquarter's statf, was then called,
but he was absent and his deposition
was read. The facts iu the case were
published April 20. M. Weill's state
ment, ill substance, was that Esterhazy
told him in 1894 that Dreyfus was inno
cent, but that tuis would not prevent
his conviction, because he was a Jew.
Sensation.
A brief disenssiou ensued regarding
tho character of Colonel Picquart's for
mer orderly, tfavaignaud, who testified
tho day before to posting letters in May
and June, 1SU7, addressed by tho colo
nel to M. Schuerrcr-Kestner, tho former
vice president of the senate, who was
prominent in obtaining a revision of the
Dreylns case. During this discussion
Savaiguaud protested that he had been
coutouuded with a bandsman of tho
same name who had a bad character.
A former sergeant, who was at one
time employed in the war office, testi
fied to seeing Dreyfus copying the list
of railroad stations mentioned in the
plan of mobilization, to which Dreyfus
replied:
"It is true, but I copied tho list by or
der of Captain Besse." Sensation.!
The evidence of the handwriting ex
perts iollowed. M. Lrobert referred to
his 30 years of service during which he
had reported on thousands ot docu
ments and addrd, visibly affected: "I
protest against the term 'interested ex
pert. "adding, turning toward tho pris
oner, "after all I have no right to com
plain when I look ut this unfortunate
linn now before yon." Great sensa
tion. The court closely Iollowed M. Go
ben's exhaustive story of his examina
tion of tho bordereau and his interview
with Generals Mercier, De Boisdcffro
and Gonse.
M. Goberc asserted that the handwrit
ing of the bordereau was natural and
fluent, Lut that it was almost illegible,
whereas Dreyfus, even when writinu
rapidly, always wrote most legibly.
The witness asked General Gonse if
an envelope accompanied the bordereau,
as he, M. Gobert, wished to see what
the'writer's careful caligraphy was like,
explaining that the address of a letter
is always in a liriner hand than its.cou
tents. General Gonse refused the request ou
the ground that the witness must not
know the name of the addressee.
General Gonse, it appears from the
testimony, ,vas greatly enraged when
he learned of the result of M. Gobert's
examination of the bordereau and vis
ited the expert repeatedly. The latter
always insisted upon learning the name
of the suspect.
The witness described how, from an
examination of an official report on
Droylus, from which Dreyfus' name
had been removed, M. Gobert had the
malicious satisfaction of telling General
Gonse the name of tho officer thoy
wautcd to arrest.
It was alter M. Gobert had refused to
incriminate Dreyfus that M. Bertillon
was entrusted with the examination of
thu bordereau, and, after a few hours'
study, M. Bertillon positively attributed
tho bordereau to Dreyfus.
Colouel Jouaust asKed M. Gobert for
a more definite criticism of tho border
eau, and the witness replied that he no
ticed certain similarities between tho
handwriting of tho bordereau and that
of Dreytus, Out, he added, there were
many importatit differences which
proved to him that Dreyfus was not the
author of thu bordereau, and his opin
ion had since been confirmed, because it
was now proved the bordereau was the
work ot Ksterbazy. Sensation.
Replying to the court, M. Gobert sug
gested that the judges compare the bor
dereau with a letter admitted to bo in
E.-terhazy's handwriting and dated
irom ltoiieu, Aug. 17, 1894, and with
documents written by the prisoner.-
"Yon will then unmistakably recog
nize," M. Gobert added, "that the bor
ere.au is iu Esterhazy's handwriting and
not in the handwriting of Dreyfus."
Great sensation. The witness at this
juncture identified the borderauu as the
suae which was submitted to him and
ho proceeded to point out the identity
of letters therein with letters in docu
ments admittedly written by Esterhazy,
saying that while tho resemblance was
not apparent in Dreyfus' handwriting
iu Ksterh.izy's there wero marked pecu
liarities of punctuation and the manner
ot beginning tho lines, which wero also
uciticiabieiu tho bordoroau, but which
were not found iu the prisoner's calig
raphy. Proceeding, the witness traversed the
old ground of the peculiarities of the
tracing paper which it is known Ester
hazy used and said the date of the bor
dereau must be July 24, 1894.
General Gonse asked permission to
question M. Gobert and said:
"In what army list did you look for
the name of Dreyfus?"
M. Gobert I used tho list whioh is
generally kept iu business houses.
The general pointed out that this list
did not give tho information claimed
by M. Gobert. lint the latter main
tained that he had stated nothing but
thu pure aud simplo truth.
Goiier.il Gonse having alluded to cer
tain undesirable acquaintances formed
by Al. Gobert, the latter replied, amid
. sensation iu court.
"1 emphatically protest against tho
insinuations ol General Gonse. There
'6 not a sinfile word of truth iu what ho
-a vs."
Ohere was a further dispute between
ttcueral Gouse and M. Gobert over cir
lumstaufcs iu connection with the lat
tcrV examination of tho bordereau. M.
Gobert said that Colonol D'Aboville
was present, but tho colonol promptly
Advanced aud said he had never soeuM.
Gobert before, adding: "It M. Gobert's
other recollections aro as exact as this,
the court will draw its owu conclu
sions." Murmurs of disapproval.
Dreyfus here declared in the mo-it
positive manner that ho had never been
at the Bank of France, where M. Go
bert was employed, or haa relations
with anyone there. The prisoner re
asserted that his sole desire was to
know the trnth. He admitted he had
been engaged in various financial opera
tions, but said ho had never asked
cither for written or verbal information
from tho Bank of France.
M. Bertillon, the noted anthropometa
ist, was called as tho next witness. lie
wore a dark blue frock coat and carried
a high hat in his hand. M. Bertillon
requested permission to bring in his
diagrams and papers. The request was
granted and M. Bertillon retired for a
moment, returuing at the head of a
squad, composed of an infantry sergeant
and four privates, all staggering under
the weight of immense leather satchels,
bulging with documents, charts, etc.,
which they deposited on the stage as a
roar of laughter echoed throughout the
court. Even the judges were unable to
suppress a smile.
The witness began by saying that
only intelligent men could follow his
explanations. The court was soon half
emptied, as the audience, after smiling
audibly at his extraordinary words aud
expressions, became bored and went
out.
M Bertillou's deposition occupied the
rest of the session aid will, perhaps, oc
cupy a good part of today's sessiou.
M. Bertilioii, with gestures aud in
the shrill, pitched voice of a quack at a
country fair, coutinued his monologue,
producing every minute some fresh
paper covered with wonderful hiero
glyphics, copies of which he presented
to tno judges, who, with au expression
of owl-like wisdom, carefully exam
ined them. M. Bertillon leaned over
their table, trying to explain his mysti
fying diagrams, which were afterward
passed to Labori and Demauge, who,
however, apparently did not derive
much profit irom their perusal.
Dreyfus gazed at the scene with a
look of stupelactiou.
The clearest utterance of M. Bertillon
during the course of his demonstration
was that ihe handwriting of the border
eau "obeys a geometrical rhythm of
which I discovered tho equation in the
prisoner's blotting pad." The witness
iinally announced that he would give a
practical demonstration of the 'writing
of the bordereau, according to his sys
tem. Later ho began copying the bor
dereau. Colonel Jouaust remarked that it was
not necessary to copy the whole border
eau and that a few hues would suffice.
A few minutes later M. Bertillon
arose, strode to the judge's stand and
laid before them his copy. The judges,
counsel, the government commissary,
Major Uarriere, and the clerk of tho
court clustered around in one group,
eager to see the result. The audience
watched this strange spectacle until
Uolonel .louaust shrugged his shoulders,
and then the spectators knew that M.
Bertillon had failed to satisfy them.
M. Bertillon noticed this and said
apologetically:
"1 was too badly placed."
Maitre Demauge, of counsel for the
defense, returned to counsel's table, and
in response to a look of inquiry from
Dreyfus, whispered a fow words to tho
prisoner with a shrug of his shoulders
and a smile ou his laec. Dreyfus ap
peared perfectly satisfied.
Colonel Jouaust then adjourned the
court.
To the newspaper men who crowded
around Maitre Labori, asking him for
his impressions, counsel said there was
a certain resemblance to the bordereau,
adding:
"But that is all. M. Bertillon only
did what dozens could do. It only
proves he is a clever forger. That is
all."
Paris, Aug. 20. A dispatch from
Lyons said a bag has been found in the
river Rhoue there containing a paper
with this pencilled inscription:
"Labori to Lorimer, Basle. Nothing
will be done. Dreyfus is innocent.
Voluntary suicide. Orders executed."
The bag was handed over to the
police, but uo explanation in the matter
has been forthcoming.

Germany would be appealed to, to fur

D.1RIEX, Ga., Aug. 26. Aconferenue
was held between Sheriff Blount, mili
tia officials and a citizens' committee
and it was decided to take decisive
action against the negroes who are
massed aud armed in Delaget's swamp,
12 miles from this city.
Tho sheriff wired Colonel Lawtou,
who is in Savannah, to send the militia
at once, aud he received a reply to the
effect that tue, men are ready and that
the Liberty county troops will start
from Hiuesville for Darieu.
The Mcintosh dragoons are at their
armory here with horses. The citizens
will move from Darieu on a special
train for the swamp and the militia
about 15 in number, one hour later.
The negroes are armed in defiance of
law and the purpose of the militia is
to surround the swamp and relieve the
blacks of their firearms and arrest
them.
An outbreak by the negroes has been
momentarily expected since the killing
by John Delagell, a negro, of Joe Town
send, a prominent citizen and deputy
sheriff of this county.
The sheriff aud his deputies continue
to make arrests of the rioting negroes
and tho jail has a large nnmber iu it
This was a precautionary incisure to
prevent an attack ou the jail by tho
negro friends of those imprisoned and
make room for those who have been ar
rested siuco the removal.
The negro citizens outnumber the
white citizens about here.
A tugboat left for Savannah with the
riot prisoners on board. . It was thought
best to take them there for safe keep-.
ing iu order to avoid any possible at
tempt to escape and for the further
reason that tho jail here is crowded.
While parsing through a negro settle
ment, about five miles from Darieu, a

way was fired ou. No one was
