Tried to Light a Fire • by Means of
Coal OIL ,
A despatch from Toronto says :-Mrs.
Martin Mulcahy, 117 Jarvis street, was
attempting to light a fire Thursday
moening by using coal oil, when she
received burns which resulted in her
death at St. edichael"s hosnital shortly.
after 5 o'clock. )-
When the woman went to light the
fire to prepare dinner the •wood did
not burn quickly, and, being ha a
hurry, she poured on a little coal oil,
and applied a match. The flames shot
ua,instantly, and caught in her clotb-
ing as she was stooping over. Before
she could extinguish the fire her hair
was scorched from her head, and the
upper portion of her body severely
burned. Then, as she was alone in the
house, Mrs. Mulcahy had to lie down
and suffer in silence until her hus-
band returned from his business in
the market. As soon as he discov-
ered her condition he sent for the am-
bulance, and had the woman removed
to St. Michael's hospital. She linger-
ed en agony for several hours, and then.
expired, as stated, at ten minutes past
five.

four months old, 'Her husband is a

A
Tuesday w
trial of Cant. Dray
4u
of the eecret doeumen
and the fact was brought out
papers bad been passed to the court-
martial in this trial without the kaow-
ledge of the defence. This is a start-
ling fact when it is considered that
Dreyfus obtained a new trial because
be was convicted before on evidence
that was communicated in secret to
bis judges. Possibly, if he is again
convicted there will be good grounds
for an appeal and another trial.
The judges denied the receuest of M,
Labori for permission to call as wit-
nesses for Dreyfus military attachea
of foreign Governments who, it is al-
leged, had bought military "seerets
from Dreerfus. This is considered a
bad blow Inc the amused, though M.
Labori seems to entertain the hope
that he will 'be able to get this (evi-
dence before the court by summoning
the attaches to attend. in their person-
al capacity.
A feature of the session was the
eloquent plea of a Senator of France
for Dreyfus. It moved the specta-
tors to tears, and made. an impression
upon the judges -
As announced by President 3ouaust,
the eirst part of the session of the,
court-martial was secret.
• LABORI'S FORMAL STATEMENT,
1,Vhen the (doors were opened for the
public session, M. Labori read. a brief
statement to 'the effect that it was
the cons:ensile of opinion of the defence
that while they ha,d bitherto not called
foreigners to testify, the Government
having set the example, they Would
no longer refrain from doing so,
Then turning to President Jouaust,
M. Labori, said: "We know the par-
ticularly delicate position of all con-
cerned in this matter, but we must ask
that you also sue:exam witnesses out -
'side of France for as. We want
Schneider, Schwartzkoppen, Paniz-
zardi'and others to prove directly and
emnbatically that Dreyfus never had
relations • with foreign powers, and
never communicated. to them the papers
mentioned in the bordereau.
" We also ask that the Government
secure, through • diplomatic channels,
documents bearing on the bordereau."
• Major Carriere, for the prosecution,
protested against the moral and ma-
terial difficulties of such action, and
said it would not assist the defence
anyhow.
• After some consultation, the judges
retired to deliberate on the request.
Their decision was awaited with a ten-
sion that was painful. When the judges
had returned, President Jouaust rose
and announced that the court unani-
mously refused to grant the defence's
request that the aid of foreigners be
invoked. The announcement was fol-
lowed by a hab-hub in court, whith
was quickly suppressed, and'court was
at once adjourned.
THE EXCITING TRIAL
of the morning sitting was a scene in
which M. Labori, General Billot, Col.
Jouaust and Captain Dreyfus partici-
pated. Things had progressed quietle
and even monotonously up to that
time. "La Dame Blanche," with her
fanaous pearls in her ears and around
her neck, kept whispering to her com-
panion. Others who frons the first
had taken the keenest interest in
every word uttered in the court seem-
ed bored, and the intense heat in the
room sent several asleep. Suddenly,
when General Billet, in low, even tones,
again brought out what many de-•
dared is the General's last card, name-
ly, the complicity of Dreyfus and Ester -
hazy, there was a remarkable change
of scene. M. Labori, in terrible excite..
ment and waving his 'arms, protested
in a ringing voice. , Dreyfus, who had
been sitting like a statue, also jumped
to his feet, despite the restraining
hind that a gendarme placed upon his
sheulder, and, with his face flaming
with passion, said, addressing Colonel
Ithaust "1 protest .against this odious
accusation." M. Labori at the .same
time was demanding tor be heard( Col-
onel Jouaust, equally determined not
to her him, called out "Maitre Lahore
I refuse to allow you to speak." When
M. Labori finally gave 'up and sat
down he was deathly pale and trenibl-
ing like a leaf.
THE END NEAR.
All the evidence in the Dreyfus case
is in, and at the session the proseent-
Mg counsel 'commenced his address.
The auditors on leaving !the court
agreed that rall signs point to the -con-
demnation of the accused. A contittal,
of course, ts possible, but weuld be a
surprise. The defence is 'plainly dis-
oororaged, and is prepaying points on

Mejor Carriere was then called upon
to deliver the ina1 speech for the pro-

a quarter, and Which was generally
characterized as a weak oration. His
arguments, colored by his usual man-
riertms, evoked outbarsts oi laughter.
He said that he considered. 14 to be es-

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTi Y.
The Surveying Party Completes its Work
In the 1tli€0)1•
A despatele from Ottawa says :-The
Departmeot of the Interior has three
earveying parties in the (Yukon tins
ytear, arid news has just reachedi the
department that one of the parties nas
completed its labors as far as it cs pos-
sible to, do so. Application was made
to the Government some time ago for
miniag locations on the lerlaite river,
a tributary of the Yukon, int.ereeeted
by the 141et meridain, the boundary be-
tween Canada and iAlaska. 'Before
granting any applications the -depart-
meet decided to send out a survey
party to traverse the White river
country and get out by •the Alaska
river to the sea coast. Inr. Talbot was
ptlemed in charge ot the party, 'which
consists ot four men (and 17 horses.
They entered the oeuntry by the Dal-
ton trail, and 'had a hazardous journey
after the Dalton route was left be-
hind. The valley of the White
river was traversed Tor a
considerable • distance, when it
was discovered that it took an entirely
different trend from what was •gener-
ally supposed. The country beeame
practically impassable, so that the
party was eventually compelled to re-
trace its steps. Gold colours were
found at different • points along the
creeks, and copper in plentiful quanti-
ties, but no gold -bearing quartz was
diseovered. As an instance of the diffi-
culties of this country it is mentioned
that a party of Aneerican miners head-
ing for the upper waters of the Alaska
took forty-nine days to journey forty
miles, having to pass over- glee:ars
most of the distance.
GENERAL STRIKE OF SEAMEN.
Extent of the Loch -out Cannot be Deter-
mined tor Some Days.
A despatch from London, says: -The
general strike of seamen and steamer
firemen, • Will& has been threatened
for some tinae, was declared. on Mon-
day, the shopowners refusing to accept
the invitation of the seamen and fire-
men's union for a conference in regard
to fixing the rate of wages for firemen
and sailorson steamers at LO and for
sailors on sailing vessels 4 monthly,
a slight advance in the average wages
•now paid at the various Britiehl ports.
Reports as to the effect aid. thorough-
• ness of the movement have not yet been
received except from South Shields,
wbere it is stated two thousand men
have gone out. Many meetings have
been held in the vicinity of the Lon-
don dooks, the speakers expressing the
determination of the men to remain
idle until their demands have been
granted. But traffic at this port has
not yet been affected. It is not like-
ly that the strike will be completely
organized for several days, and until
then its extent will not be known or
its result keenly felt. The manifesto
of the union ordering the strike in -
etudes all the ports in the United
Kingdoin.
