The church was crowded. The pastor, the Rev. Or. I). II. Wo- rcester, alluded ln his sermon to tho Cuban and Philippine questions. In the afternoon the President and Mrs. had a ride through Bchenley Park as tho guests of Edward M. Blgelow, Director of the Department of Publlo Works, and Mrs, Blgelow. Many carriages were out, and as tho President passed they fell In behind, so that when Mr. Blgelow's carriage turned to go back, there was a long line of vehicles following nnd a procession of men, women and children afoot. Everybody recognized the President, who during tho entire trip was bowing ac- knowledgments to tho grootlng of tho crowd. It wsr the Intention to tako the I'resldent over soveral miles of the now boulevards, but Mrs. McKlnley's health was not equal to the strain, and the party roturned to Mr. Pltcalrn's after viewing the parks. Two little Incidents that nmusod tho Presi- dent occurred this morning. An ho and Mrs. McKtnley walked to the carriage that was to take them to church, Mrs. McKlnley polntpdto a boy and girl, each about 10 years old, who stood In front of the crowd. "Look at the children with tho kodaks," sho said to the President, as the children tried to got the couple In focus Tho President stop- ped and he and Mrs McKlnlor turned toward the namora and waited until the shutter clicked before they passed on. Two childish volcos cried: "Thank you Mr. President." A crowd of fully 5,000 porsons stood around tho churoh when the President's carriage ar- rived. Ho and Mrs. McKlnlor got out at the church and walkod around tr the front en- trance, Mr. McKlnley recngnl7eda member of the American Club who had beon prominent at a dinner given In the President's honor when ho wns still n Congressman." How are you. Major Davis?" said tire President. As he passed on Major Davis's little daugh- ter exclaimed In surprise: "why. tho Presi- dent knows you. doesn't he, papa?" The Pres- ident laughed and said: "Yes. I know your papa, llttlo girl," Although this was a day of rest for tho Presi- dent, ho was In communication with Washington. Two telegraph operators had their Instruments In the Pitcalrn houso. Tho l'rosldont took much Interest In tho re- ports of the progress of the Tenth Regiment across the continent which wore sent to Mr. Pitcalrn as suporlntendcntof the Pennsylvania Railroad, and which ho handed to the Pres- ident. The Tenth will arrive hero nt and will bo mot at tho Fort Wayne station In Alleghony by the Prosident, who will head tho procession, and travel with It and review It In Bchenley Park, Tho regiment will eat dinner In the park and afterward the President will make a speech.

Georeo Clark ofMllford, 21 jenrs old, son of Oeorgo W. Clark, killed a chicken thief early this morn- ing. Up to the present time tho dead man has not been positively Identified. A receipt was found In onu of his pockets for a new set of harness mado out to T. Weber, of Springfield, Moss .and that Isbellovod to be his name. Clark was aroused at 3. HO o'clock br his sister, who told him that she heard a noise In the hencoop and that sho was sure that some one was In the yard Ho dressed hurriedly, got a shotgun and proceeded to tho hennery. There ho saw two men, nnd they saw him. The thieves ran to a wagon drawn by a team and drove off. Clark shouted at them to stop or ho would shoot. He decided to give chase to tho fugitives and ho and a hired man hitched up a team for that purpose. Just beforo ther drove away Clark substituted a revolver for tho gun. He overtook the thieves about two miles from his homo and yelled to thorn to surrender or he would fire. They camo to a stop and Clark, leaving his team In the enre of his hired man. jumped Into tLsir wagon. As he did so oneof tho men suddenly sprang and was lost to sight. Clark decided to hold on to tho remaining thief and tho drive to tho shorltl's houso began. Tho thlof pleaded to be re- leased and attempted to bribe his captor. Clark kept his icvolvcr handy during all li is tnlk-- , threatening t kill the man nt tho first move he made to oseape. At a moment when Clark was off his guard the thief jumped into tho roadway. Clark flrod four shots at the retreating flguro. One of them struck a horse Clark was driving, and another hit tho thlof Clark saw the man drop In tho roadway and got frightened. Ho did not wait to see how deadly had been his aim. but went at onco for tho sheriff. The two returned to find tho ehlckon-thle- f dead whero ho had fallon. Young Clark was paroled In the custody of Sheriff Mallory by order of Coroner Mix of this city, who will hold an Inquest In the wagon belonging to tho thieves were found fifty chickens, twenty-lh- o of which wore tho property of Clark's father.

Rennkh, Aug. 27 The most hopeless feature of the present situation Is the fact that tho Impln truth about tho proceedings of the Itennes court-marti- does not roach tho major- ity of the French people. Therefore, the first requisite for an Intelligent revision of publlo opinion Is lacking. Half the newspapers of France, for Instance gave versions of yester- day's sensational developments that were so completely garbled as to completely decelvo their roaders. Huch papers as (he io u tari, tho 7iifranJ0finf and tho 7,f&ie7tirofe go as far as to represent that Capt. rroystaelor. whoso ovldonce was really the strongest jet glvon In favor of Dreyfus, was plllotlod nsn liar and perjuror, and they demand his arrest and expulsion from the army. I'.ven a journal like tho (Vaiilou, which represents respectabil- ity, reverses the true significance of yesterday's luminous events. Tho newspiipers which support Drnyfus give, of course, the full truth of such scenes as the confrontation of Capt. rroystaetter.Col. Maurel and Gsn. Morclor. but only a minority of tho publlo seos these reports. It Is unnecessary to point out the danger which may arise from tho attitude of tho press at tho end of the trial, nor oanttbe denied that potceful solution amid tho steadily rising storm of passion In tho country Is so difficult, that many parsons nro skeptical whether It will bo found. It would be unwise, porhaps, to judgo Franco as a whole at the present moment br Paris and Ronnos, but to the observers of those two cities tho outlook in more ominous y than nt any previous period of this oxtraordlnnrr affair. Tho ordinary Sabbath calm prevailed hero and nobody expects nny depart-ur- o from this calm for the next fow days. Tho only Incident has beon the prompt refuttl of a wild rumor cutrent yesterday that Gen. Mer-cl- er had fled to thn lslo of Jersey. It was nnturally supposod that after yestor-day- 's conflict of testimony the other surviving membors of tho court-marti- which con- demned Drey'us In 1814 would be summoned to toll just what documents were Included In the secret evidence that was put beforo them y Gen. Mercler. 'I hero is excellent authority, however, for saylnc that this will not be done. The question will bo loft In abeyance until per- chance it Is submitted to a senatorial high court, with Gen. Mcroleras tho prisoner at bar. Information from Paris Is to thn effect that the Cabinet this afternoon discussed the question of tho Immediate arrest of Gen. Mereleron tho basis of his admission ester-da- y. It Is probablo that cxccutlvo action In tho matter will bo confined to thn maintenance of ostrlct surveillance over Gen Mercioruntil tho ond of the present trial Tams. Aug. 27. M.

Just ns ho appeared tho girl goiaway from tho dog, butnot until hehad torn n piece of flesh fromherleg. Tho dog turned on Albert and the animal sunk his teeth In the boy's leg, just above tho knee, and toro the flesh. By this tlmo Lilian had got upstairs and an- other brother, George, who is 10 years old. went Into the collar with a big poker. He beat the dog off from Albert and the twowero golnir up the cellar steps when the animal ran at George, and sunk Its teeth In his left shoulder. The animal held on. and though tho boys tried to beat him away with the poker lie stuck un- til the flh gave way When Mr, Dlafenuaoh appeared at the cellar door the dog ran off into a corner. Tho cellar was dark and Mr1, Dleffenbach opened the door to let tho light In. He had nJheavy pleceof wood In his hand nnd intended to kill tlie dog but tho animal ran out of the door. Neighbors, who had heard tho commotion joined In chasing the dog but could not catch him. He ran toward Orange nad on his way hit two dots on Valley road, ono belonging to John McCann and the other to Noah Baldwin These dogs will bo shot. No traco of the dog could be found after this, but all the policemen of Orange and West Orange have been warned to be on the lookout for him, Dr Walter Dodge was summoD" and he cauterized tho children's wounds qVKEU TII.E OF aUlVlltF.

Went to Church lu the Morning and Tooka Drive ln the Afternoon,

Pittsduiui. Aug. MoKlnleyhad a good rest It was a beautifulmorning, and the streets loading from RobertI'itcairn's house, where the President Is stay-ing, to Christ Uothodlst Eplsoopsl Churchwore lined with persons, When tho Presidentappeared In his carriage thero was no cheer-ing, but he was kept busy bowing ln responseto tho doffing of hats by tho men and wavingof handkerchiefs by women. The church wascrowded. The pastor, the Rev. Or. I). II. Wo-rcester, alluded ln his sermon to tho Cuban andPhilippine questions.

In the afternoon the President and Mrs.had a ride through Bchenley Park as

tho guests of Edward M. Blgelow, Director ofthe Department of Publlo Works, and Mrs,Blgelow. Many carriages were out, and as thoPresident passed they fell In behind, so thatwhen Mr. Blgelow's carriage turned to go back,there was a long line of vehicles following nnda procession of men, women and childrenafoot. Everybody recognized the President,who during tho entire trip was bowing ac-

knowledgments to tho grootlng of tho crowd.It wsr the Intention to tako the I'resldent

over soveral miles of the now boulevards, butMrs. McKlnley's health was not equal to thestrain, and the party roturned to Mr. Pltcalrn'safter viewing the parks.

Two little Incidents that nmusod tho Presi-dent occurred this morning. An ho and Mrs.McKtnley walked to the carriage that was totake them to church, Mrs. McKlnley polntpdtoa boy and girl, each about 10 years old, whostood In front of the crowd.

"Look at the children with tho kodaks," shosaid to the President, as the children tried togot the couple In focus Tho President stop-ped and he and Mrs McKlnlor turned toward thenamora and waited until the shutter clickedbefore they passed on. Two childish volcoscried: "Thank you Mr. President."

A crowd of fully 5,000 porsons stood aroundtho churoh when the President's carriage ar-

rived. Ho and Mrs. McKlnlor got out at thechurch and walkod around tr the front en-

trance, Mr. McKlnley recngnl7eda member ofthe American Club who had beon prominentat a dinner given In the President's honorwhen ho wns still n Congressman." How areyou. Major Davis?" said tire President.

As he passed on Major Davis's little daugh-ter exclaimed In surprise: "why. tho Presi-dent knows you. doesn't he, papa?" The Pres-ident laughed and said: "Yes. I know yourpapa, llttlo girl,"

Although this was a day of rest for tho Presi-dent, ho was In communication withWashington. Two telegraph operatorshad their Instruments In the Pitcalrn houso.Tho l'rosldont took much Interest In tho re-

ports of the progress of the Tenth Regimentacross the continent which wore sent to Mr.Pitcalrn as suporlntendcntof the PennsylvaniaRailroad, and which ho handed to the Pres-ident.

The Tenth will arrive hero ntand will bo mot at tho Fort Wayne station

In Alleghony by the Prosident, who will head thoprocession, and travel with It and review It InBchenley Park, Tho regiment will eat dinnerIn the park and afterward the President willmake a speech.

At dinner tnls evening Mrs. McKlnley met nnold BChonl mate, Mrs, J. J. Brooks, wlfo of thehecond of the PennsylvaniaRnllrond. Congressman John Dalzell and Dr.W. II, Daly, (ten. Mlles's staff surgeon duringthe war, called on the President

Clark shouted at them to stop or howould shoot. He decided to give chase to thofugitives and ho and a hired manhitched up a team for that purpose. Justbeforo ther drove away Clark substituteda revolver for tho gun. Heovertook the thieves about two miles fromhis homo and yelled to thorn to surrenderor he would fire. They camo to a stop andClark, leaving his team In the enre of his hiredman. jumped Into tLsir wagon. As he did sooneof tho men suddenly sprang and was lostto sight.

Itesult of Cnpt. Frejstaettar's DisclosuresFrench People Hilled Ily the Anti-Dreyf-

Press Kvldanco In Dreyfus's FavorHas Ileen Distorted In These Papers,

Xvieiat Cabli Dtlpmtcbrt la Tils Buv.Rennkh, Aug. 27 The most hopeless feature

of the present situation Is the fact that thoImpln truth about tho proceedings of the

Itennes court-marti- does not roach tho major-ity of the French people. Therefore, the firstrequisite for an Intelligent revision of publloopinion Is lacking. Half the newspapers ofFrance, for Instance gave versions of yester-day's sensational developments that were socompletely garbled as to completely decelvotheir roaders. Huch papers as (he io u

tari, tho 7iifranJ0finf and tho 7,f&ie7tirofego as far as to represent that Capt. rroystaelor.whoso ovldonce was really the strongest jetglvon In favor of Dreyfus, was plllotlod nsnliar and perjuror, and they demand his arrestand expulsion from the army. I'.ven a journallike tho (Vaiilou, which represents respectabil-ity, reverses the true significance of yesterday'sluminous events.

Tho newspiipers which support Drnyfus give,of course, the full truth of such scenes as theconfrontation of Capt. rroystaetter.Col. Maureland Gsn. Morclor. but only a minority of thopubllo seos these reports.

It Is unnecessary to point out the dangerwhich may arise from tho attitude of tho

press at tho end of the trial, noroanttbe denied that potceful solution amidtho steadily rising storm of passion In thocountry Is so difficult, that many parsons nroskeptical whether It will bo found.

It would be unwise, porhaps, to judgo Francoas a whole at the present moment br Paris andRonnos, but to the observers of those twocities tho outlook in more ominous y thannt any previous period of this oxtraordlnnrraffair. Tho ordinary Sabbath calm prevailedhero and nobody expects nny depart-ur- o

from this calm for the next fow days. Thoonly Incident has beon the prompt refuttl of awild rumor cutrent yesterday that Gen. Mer-cl- er

had fled to thn lslo of Jersey.It was nnturally supposod that after yestor-day- 's

conflict of testimony the other survivingmembors of tho court-marti- which con-demned Drey'us In 1814 would be summoned totoll just what documents were Included In thesecret evidence that was put beforo them yGen.

chance it Is submitted to a senatorial highcourt, with Gen. Mcroleras tho prisoner at bar.

Information from Paris Is to thneffect that the Cabinet this afternoon discussedthe question of tho Immediate arrest of Gen.Mereleron tho basis of his admission ester-da- y.
