A dramatic bit of testimony was given during the day by Dr. Albert Calimette, director of the Pasteur insti- tute at Lille. He paid a high tribute to the character of his brother. “I am convinced,” said Dr. mette, “that if Mme. Caillaux ,had simply opened her mouth, if she had only said to my brother, ‘Is it true that you have in your possession the private letters my brother would immediately have reassured her. vou knew how scrupplous was my brother with his word.

His work did not enrich him grea for in his profession one rarely % comes wealthy. But everybody knows he formed strong and deep friendships and it was through these friendships that his fortune grew. It is common knowledge it was as a result of the egacy of M. Chauchard (the proprie- tor of a great department store) that my_brother’s. fortune-was made. Fhere is no reason to blush for it.” Dr, Gaillard, Mme. Caillaux's dentist, testified that she had made an ap- pointment with him for two days afier the tragedy. Her physician, Dr. Mer- cigny, also zave evidence. Mme. Caillaux is the best of wom- en,” he said. “Her character is swest and calm. 1 was stupefied when I learned of the drama.” Henri Bernstein, the playwright, and several members of the Figaro stafl also testified. .

An Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Servia, couched in a tone of almost unprecedénted severity and fastening on the Servian government and people responsibility for the assassinations of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife at Sarayevo recently, has been presented to Belgrade. It demands sat- isfaction within 48 hours, Humiliating Terms. &~ The almost universal opinion in the European capitals is that the Servian goyernment cannot comply with such humiliating terms as are set forth in the ultimatum, since compliance would be tantamount to an admission of Ser- via's guilt. The Russian government already is seeking to gain an extenston of time for Servia. The efforts of European diplomacy, should the powers fail to avert the threatened war, will be devoted to lo- calizing_it. Montenegro has indicated her readiness to-support Servia i nthe event of an Augtrian attack. This cer- tainly would plunge the whole of the Balkans into hostilities. Austria counts on the neutrality of her allies, Ger- many and Italy; but with the possi- bility of Russian iniervention on behalf of Servia, Austria would run great risks of risings among her own great Slav_population. A fact much commented upon by the FEuropean newspapers is that Austria has chosen a moment for the issuing of her ultimatum when President Poin- care is absent from France and two of the Balkan premiers are abroad. | BOULDER CRUSHES MAN TO DEATH. Plunged Down a 150 Foot Precipice | at Hamden—Three Narrowly Es caped. New Haven, Conn, July 24—One man was cruhed to death and three other had narow escapes from a sim- ilar fate when a twenty ton boulder became loosened at a stone quarry at Mill Rock in Hamden, late today, and plunged down a 150 foot precipice. The dead man is Theodore Marchine, 45 years old, of Fairhaven, who leaves a wife and five children. As I8 customary in certain branches of quarry work, rope were attached about the waists of the workers, the ends of the ropes being held by fel- low laborers, There was no Trope about Marchine’s body, and his death was undoubtedly due to this fact. The four men were working on the top of a great ledge of solid rock, when a portion of it, weighing, it is estimated, 20 tons, suddenly gave way and fell with a thunderous roar to the bottom of a clif many feet below, The three workmen dangled in the air from their ropes, until they were pull- ed to places of safety by their com- panions. Marchine fell with the bould- er, it rolling.over upon him, and crush- ing out life instantly. The body, mangled beyond recognition, was later recovered. PROMINENT MEN GUESTS AT HIBERNIAN CONVENTION.
