PARIS A RUMBLING VOLCANO.
The Edlitee ot Dreyfus ties About to
Crumble-Proelaniattou yrilt be the
Signal for Disturbances.
Henry Norman cables to- the New
York Tithes :-"Everything else in
France is overshadowed for the mom-
ent by the imminent proclamation of
the innocence of_Dreyfus. If this is
not the signal for serious disturbances,
either immediately or when he sets
foot in France, all the observera on the
spot are inistaken. The whole edifice
of lies is about to crumble. The wick-
edest conspirator ever known to civi-
lized history is.a,bout to be exposed.
"As the moment draws nearer, the
temper of. the anti-Semitic, clerical,
and military gang. grows worse. Merle
of the best men in Paris are going
armed, living in unknown places, and
approaching their offices in the dark
by round -about ways, for fear of as-
sess:nation. Only Friday the Foreign
Minister called upon the German Am-
bassador to apologize for newspaper in-
sults to his daughter, a girl of fifteen.
Paris is a rumbling volcano."
lt is reported here on Saturday even-
ing that Dreyfus is dead. The rumour
is understood. to be based upon a mys-
terious telegeam received from Col-
mar, capital of Upper Alsace, signed
by an unknown correspondent So
far as can be ascertained, there is no
official confirmation of the report. The
father-in-law of Dreyfus discredits it.
He says he has received excellent an -
counts from the Colonial Office quite
recently as to the prisoner's bealth.
Despite these assurances there are
dark rumours afloat. In view of the
=mous manner in which the letter
from Dreyfus declaring that, he had
abandoned all hope was eoriveyed to
Mine. Dreyfus on Friday, many people
believe he is dead.
CareCtil enquiry made at Colmar on
Saturday evening -shows .that nothing
is known there as to the death of
Dreyfus, It is now believed that the
telegram was a hoax:

also censure the. Grand Trunk Rail,

EVIDENCE OFITHE SWITCHMAN.
The chief witness at the inquest was
John Murphy, the opera,tor and switch-
man at Murray Hill, a position which
he has held. foe- six years, Murphy said
he worked twelve hours a day, from
7 o'clock p. in. to 7 o'clock a. m. He
was always alone on duty, and had
never had any aeoidents before last
Thursday morning. On the night pre-
vious he had, come on duty at 7 o'clock.
During the night lie, was in his office
all the time, except when his duty call-
ed him out. He was never far away
from his office, and was positive that
no one else was there with him, or in
his absence. The day operator, Patrick
Fox, hadfixed the lights on the switch
before leaveoz, at 7 o'clock. The lights
on the switch were red and white, and
When one colour was turned to the east
the other had to show towards the
weat.
In describing the switch, Murphy
said that tthere was a straight single
track from' Trenton, along which the
express came. He admitted that. he
did not know when the express left
Belleville or Trenton that morning, nor
when the freight train, coming in the
:apposite direction, left its last station,
Brighton.
At this point Mr. Gordon,. Murphy's
lawyer, put in an objection to his
client answering any further ctuestions
art the ground that his answers might
tend to incriminate him or render him
liable for civil proceedings. Murphy
told the rest of his etory subject to this
objection.
RED LIGHT AGAINST THE EXPRESS.
The witness then said that he did
not know where the express and freight
trains were just before the accident.
He expected that any train should stop
when the danger signal was displayed.
This signal was very seldom shown be-
fore the express. A freight train had
passed the 'switch -house at 1.52 a.m.,
going up, and was switched to the
south track. He then.moved the switch
back again so, that the red light show-
ed east and the white light west, in ac-
oorda.nce with a general rule.
" Why • didn't you turn the switch
again before the accident hapeened V'
asked the Crown Attorney.
" It was an oversight on my part,"
returned Murphy slowly. Had, I been
told when the express left Trenton, the
acoideet naight not have happened. I
knew. N. 5, the express was on the
wrong track as soon as the exgine and
baggage car had piessed."
" If the white light was showing to
the freight train would it not have
wrong track as soon as the engine and
single track?" '
" No; the conductor of the freight
knew that the express was due then,
and he would have to wait for a epe-
dal order before, proceeding. The con-
ductor of the freight would see the
white light and Brady (Should have
aeon the light and. stopped. When I
saw that No. 5 was on the wrong track
I ran out and 'swung my lantern.
sent despatches asking for relief about
fifteen minutes after the tollision."
OVERWORK OF EMPLOYES.
"-de there any necessity for two men
to be employed at Murray Hill?"
"ft, would make the. wo rig more sure,"
reeurned Murpby, "one could look
after the switch and the other the
instrument Three is a • rule," con-
tinued Murphy in answer to a ques-
tion by a jurymen, "requiring all
traine to stop either on or before they
reach my switch. The rule is disre-
garded' now, however, although it used
be, observed," •
The, Fa me juryman put several ques-
tionto Murphy upon thequ.estion of
the overworking of railroad employes.
Murphy gave a long list of duties
which he had to perform oa addition
to his regular work of 'operateng the
ssvitcherig.
MURPHY'S TERRIBLE ADMISSION.
telefphy said he thought he should
not, be aelred to do so much extra work,
and knew of other stations ' where
,night eroployes had work to do which
two' men could batter attend. Murphy
saidi tbat Driver Brady not only ignor-
ed. the red danger signal at teeswitch,
but a green caution :Apia!' hung on the
remephore aeuarler of a mile ease of
Murray Hill and the, :switch.
*Crown Attorney Kerr pet a final
question: -"Would that accident have
happened bad you done your duty at
the switch?" .
,"It, would not havehappened," ac-
knowledged Marpey, and he was al-
lowed to leave the stance after being.
in the box needy three hours.

William T. Iveto driver of 96, was the
next called, and said that he would
have stopped at Murray Hill if he had
not passed Noe 5. The acoident took
place about one, and a. half miles west
of Murray Hille When he first sew the
bead -light of tie express he could not
tell which track it was on, and did not
discover until within two oar lengths
of his drain. Train No. 5 was coming
at a high Tate of speed.
To 1V1r. Iterr, Mr, Iven said that there
were five persons on his train, 'noted-
ing himself. On noticing the position
of the trains he palled. out "jump"
puttingon the alr ibrake as he did so.
Asked what he- did, he replied that he
returned to the track, got a light, and
looked through wrecked No. 5. He •
helped to get several bodies out of the
wreck, He doubted if a: train could
pass oven be south track at Murray

Mr. A. Tappin said that he heard the

near the wreck and found sand on the
rails, clearly showing that enginesr
Brady was awake George Collins was
with him at the time.
George Happer, train despatcher at
Belleville, testified to the time of send-
ing out the train and the rules to be
followed by all stations. He said that
upon learning of the accident be in-
formed Messrs. Bell and Pope and tele-.
graphed to Trenton to send doctors to
the wreck. ,
The Trenton operator, George Riley,
was called and said that he was on
duty on Tuesday night. He also ex-
plained the method of reporting trains.
Mr. Bayne, another employe, said
that Engineer Brady had been off duty
for nearly seventeen hours.
This ended the testimony, after whi-h

TASTE AND SMELL.
'Phyalcs or These Senses Neglected -nigher
Development in Animals.
While the physice of the senses of
sight and hearing have attracted the
attention of many philosophers and
have been elucidated by numerous in-
geniously contrived experiments, those
of taste and smell have beer, compare -
t iyely neglected. The very phroneology
by whiroh we are accustomed to de-
scribe the impressions -which we re-
ceive through these portals of sense is
Indefinite, obscure and uncertain.
There afe, indeed, several terms which
would osel up corresponding sensations
in regard to the sense of taste, such as
sweat acid, alkaline, oily and mawkish;
but our vooabulary is small in calling
up sensations of smell and is almost
limited to such general iernas as plea -
ant and unpleasant, pungent and "aro-
matic, feeid and fresh, which have
none of the definiteness or precision
that the terms blue or green possess
in ordinary conversation or that the
expression treble e gives to the musi-
cian. Our raemory of odors is in gen-
eral very imperfect. Attempts have
been made, but not very successfully,
to establish a gamut of odors, and it
is difficult in many instances to dis-
sociate the senses of smell and taste.
Cuvier observed that these two senses
are nearly allied to common sensation.
In those animals which are only
capable of breathing thtough the nose,
like the horse, the extent of surface
ministering . to the sense of smell is
immense, as compared with that of
man. A large area of the nasal cavi-
ties is covered with mucous membrane,
which is thick in both, studded with
numerous adnous glands, covered with
stratified .ciliated epithelium, supplied
by the fifth pair of nerves, and is prob-
ably dedicated to other functions than
those. of : smell, as, for example, the
warming_ andmoistening of the :lir,
and ite purification from dust before
entry into the lungs, and a large por-
tion also of I he upper region seems
merely to a,ct as a periosteum to the
frontal aged ethincedal. cells, and to
possess ,but a small share of special
sentibilite. The turbinal bone, on the
other hand, the volutes of the ethmoid,
apd a cionsiderable area of the septum
between tbe nostrils, is covered. with a
thin yellowish -red membrane, the
epithelium of which is unprovided with
cilia, to which the .hranches of the
olfactory nerves are distributed the
ultimate fibrils being traeeable to the
very surface covered by a thin layer' of
fluid and being well placed, therefere,
for the peeceptioh of delicate impres-
sions. Commen observation shows that
while, Man is capable of perceivine .a
great, variety of odors, many animals
euipess hint in the acuteness of their
perceptions. Thenattiee of these em-
anation 6 proetibly eariee considerably,
Water, which has no smell to roan, can

MURDER AT BEAYERTON•
AN 0140 111A.N BATTERED TO DEATH
WITH A POKUR$
Edward Zifltte Aeltithia the
8ais Inis3' had a 'quarrel- It is 4eneinl-
JY However, 'Oat ffieolkieVi
or the Crime Was ROliborr;
A clesidatch from Beeverton, Ont.,
says: -Not for meny years ban there
been Moll excitement in this village as
was evinoed when ti becaine known on
Tuesday morning that Wm. Murray, a
well-known citizen of the town, bad
been found in his house dead ad cp
parently brutally xxierdered. The old
man had not 'been: seen about the
premises on Sunday Pr Itionday, and it
was feared that he iniglit be ill.
Ur, R. Denshea,th _proceeded" to in-
vestigate. The house, cosisting of
one room, standing alone in a field in
the rear -of the residence of Mr. Alex,
Dobson, miner, and approached by a
lane, was found to be securely closed,
and the door locked, but from the win-
dow the unfortunate man could be seen
lying on the floor. A window was there-
upon broken, and the door opened.
A GRUESOME SPECTACLE,
The gruesome spectacle which pre -
'muted itself will live long in the mein-
ory of. those who saw it. Lying face
downwards across the floor in a pool
of clotted blood, his head out and bat-
tered into an almost unrecognikabie
mass, lay the unfortunate victim. Be-
side hen was an overturned chair, fropa
which he bad evidently fallen.
WEAPONS THAT DEALT DEATH.
Looking around the squalid apart-
ment, no evidence of a struggle could
be seen, but later, on examination be-
neath the stove was found a stick of
stove -wood and a heavy iron poker,
both of which had apparently been
used in tbe perpetration of the awful
deed. Both the wood and maker had
been covered with blood, which the
murderer had endeavored to remove
by washing, but there still adhered
fragments of hair of the unfortunate
victim, plainly indicating the fearful
work to which they had been devot-
ee
From the position of the body and its
surroundings, it was plain that deceas-
ed had been dead many hours, the
body being badly discoloured and
rigid.
SEVEN HUGE CUTS.
Coroner Dr. Grant, wire, was of the
party, immediately wired -County
Crown Attorney Farewell, and. empan-
elled a jury. The remains were view-
ed and a post-mortena examination held
by Dr. James Galloway, when no less
than seven huge cuts were found upon
the head, several of which had crushed
into the skull, almost any of which
naiget easily have caused death.
An inquest had been ordered for
Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in
the Town hall, Beaverton, when some
startling developments may be forth-
coming,
TWO WARRANTS ISSU
Warrants for the arrest of dward
Elliott, a lad ef about t13 years of age,
also John McHattie, have been isseed,
which are in progress of execution.
Deceased was largely connected in
this section, but being of an eccentric
disposition, preferred to live alone to
residing with friends. He had been
casually looked after by heighbours,
and. had small means upon which he
lied. He was a very intelligent and
well-read man, but, being upwards of
70 years of age, was feeble.
MONEY THE OBJECT.
The object of the awful crime was
evidently money, as the provisions ob-
tained on Saturday evening remained
untouched. No -money was found about
his person, on examination before the
jury, while he was known to have been
possessed of a purse on Saturday with
a small sum of money. His belong-
ings had not been disturbed. The door
being found locked would presuppose
the murderer to have quickly 1 , lock-
ing the door and carrying ay the
key. The awftil deed has sed in-
tense excitement as the d Man,
while peculiar, was.respected. 41/4 •
ELLIOTT CONFESSES.
Edward Elliott, the 16 -year-old -lad
who was arrested on Tuesday night on
a' charge of having murdered William
Marray, whose mutilated body was
found in the house yesterday, has con-
fessed his crime, claiming that the
murder was the result of a quarrel.
It is generally believed, however, that
the object was robbery. John Idellate•
tie, also arrested as an accomplioe,
probably be released. Mollattie, who
it appears, was a life-long friend of.
the deceased, and used to perform all
sorts of chores for him for a trifling
remuneration, met Elliott Saturday
night. The tatter asked him to take
him, Elliott, too seelVeurray on the plea
that be desired' to secure an old horse -
pistol decease(' was supposed to have,
Mellattie consented, and together
they visited the house, where eicHattie
left the articles he lied purchased for
;Murray, and gave him the change. He
left the lad Elliott there, and this was
the last seenof the old man alive. Me -
Hattie, it appeare, proposed to return
to Murray on Sunday, and did so an
ter church service whieh he attended,
but finding the door lacked came to
the conclusion that Murray was ab-
sent, visiting friends, which he fre-
quently did. He did net return, and,
as he claims, was unaware of the tra-
gedy until told of it in the. village.

the general opinion is that it iS true,
