The Maine Central railroad today ran
excursions to i5ar Hnrhor from nil ecc
lions of its line in Mnine, the attraction
being the wnrehljiB which were expected
today. All the morning long trains
packed with excursionists were rushing
to Bar Harbor- The train which left
Bangor at 8 :L5 consisted of twelve cars,
jammed with people. At Mount Desert
ferry, the terminus of tho line, the train
is left for tho bont, for un 18-mile ride to
BarUarbor. From the wharf a Blip or
gangplank, 40 feet lone and 10 feet
wide run out to the boat. The Blip was
hinged at the inner end and was raised
or lowered to suit the tide. The wharf
extends on both sides, flush with the
end of the wooden gangplank. Five
timbers, 4x12 inches, set vertically, run
the length of the plank, and theee were
crossed by 2-1 rich planks. It is said that
there woe no support for the plank be
tween the hinges at the outer end.
When the excursion train from Bangor
a'rived at the ferry there was a rush for
the Steamer Sappho. 'J lie first few pas
engern had crossed tho gangplank eufe
lr, audit is estimated that 200 people
were massed on the plnuk. Suddenly
they ftilt the plank give way. The long
timber supporting tho plank broko in
the middle. Tho hinges held up one end
and the chain the other, while the
broken ends of the plank dropped, and a
trwrgling, screaming mass of humanity
plunged into tho water, fifteen feet
Wow tho wharf. A few clung to the in
clined sides of the plank, but at least 100
"ere struggling in the water. Tho piling j
t the wharf partially penned them on
three sides, and the boat lying at the
harfc'obud the outer end of the open

It may be n question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend nny of tho various
proprietary medicines which flood the

we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain'e Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea lleuiedy. We Iirvo known and
used this medicine iu our family lor
twenty yeurs and have alwuyB found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe iu depending implicitly on
anv medicine (or n cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Itemed)' was kept on baud
tine! administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
nd in very many caees tho presence of
a physician would not be required. At
east this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale

HIS DRAM
ATIC RESPONSES
Fears of an Anti-Dreyfus Demonstra
tion Court to Sit Behind Closed
Doors.
Rennks, France, Aug. 7. The trial of
Dreyfus was opened at 7 o'clock this
morning. The keenest- excitement has
prevailed hero for several days and
though no demonstration has occurred
so far the authorities are apparently be
coming anxious regarding the main
tenance of tranquility during the trial
owing to the invasion of the town by a
crowd of anti-Dreyfus agitators, and
heroic police measures have been taken
to insure peace.
The Dreyfus trial opened this morning,
in an atmosphere of perfect tranquility.
Dreyfus in a new uniform of a captain of
artillery scarcely moved during the
whole proceedings. On the court pro
ceeding to the roll-call of witnesees the
most notable absentees noticed being
Eeterhazy, Paty du Clam Bnd Milepoys.
Dreyfus half turned his head towards the
seats of the witnesses, especially when
the clerk called Esterhazy, but when no
response was received Dreyfus returned
to his previous attitude looking straight
in front of him.
Later in the morning the proceeding
after the bill of indictment had been
read the prisoner was handed a tone
slip of card hoard upon which the
bordereau was pasted.
"Do you recognize this document?"
Dreyfus replied with a passionate out
burst "No, my Colonel ; 1 am innocent,
I declare it here as I declared it in 1894.
I am a victim.
Here his voico choked with a sob
which must have stirred every spectator
in the court. The voice of tho prisoner
did not seem human. It resembled the
crv of a wounded animal. He ended his
reply with the words:
"Five years in galleys my wife, my
children, my God, I am innocent, in
nocent."
