DREYFUS MAY GET NEW TRIAL- PAEIS, Aug. arrest ot Lieutenant Colonel Henry on the discovery that he is Jthe author of an important letter which figured in the Dreyfus case is regarded here as one of the most important developments in the case. Colonel Henry has been throughout the champion of the army against Colonel Picquart, with whom he fought a duel. His arrest entirely alters the aspect of both the Dreyfus and the Zola cases.

In fact, it is believed that perhaps the real turning point in the Drejtus case has been reached and that the arrest of Colonel Henry will lead to a revision of the trial pf thd prisoner ot Devil's Island. Henry Stelting, of Commercial avenue and Sandford street, reported to Dhief Harding at the police station this morning that a bicycle boat owned by him lad been stolen on Tuesday night from Meyer's boat house, near the Albany street bridge. The boat was invented by Mr. Stelting and has been a success. It is operated the use of a bicycle arrangement, which moves the screw-on the boat.

Mr. Steltiog had no clue as to the ihief, but fears that the boat has been taken down the river. The police who were on duty were immediately notified of the case and started an investigation. No clue as to its whereabouts had been reported at the )ohce headquarters at 3 o'clock. Mr.

3telling valued the boat i.ighly. SAILED PONCE; Aug. Puritan, Am- phitrite, Terror, Hannibal and Montgomery sailed this morning for Newport, I.

Robert Hong Hlinnelf of a Insinuation. The mischievous small brother and the jllying little sister are not the only per- si ns who now and then have sport at the expense of their elders. The little nephew and niece sometimes have fun at the expense of an uncle, as geuial Robert L. Hoagland might have told you yesterday. It happened in this way Mrs.

A. C. Barwis, of Trenton, with her two children are guests of her sister and brother, Miss Mary J. Hoagland and Mr. Hoagland, ai 66 New street.

At 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Barwis was aroused by the sudden appearance of her eldest daughter in her room, who declared in frightened that she would not go to her room again. When asked for a reason for this resolute determination the child declared that her Uncle Bob had the nightmare and wan making awful upstairs. The child's earnestness impressed the mother who thought it might possibly be true that Mr. Hoagland was suffering from a too free indulgence in peaches and cream or some other seasonable delicacy, Ad she started on an investigation.

Sure though she oould hear an unearthly noise in the First it was high and then low and then there was a prolonged snort. Surely it this was night mare it was an aggravated case. As Mrs. Barwis approached her brother's room in alarm there was a dozen snorts an i noises and then was heard his hearty laughter Why, Bob, haven't you got the nightmare?" was the anxious query, Are you not very ill "111? Sick? Oh, yes, I will be sick if they don't take that jack away down on the street. He has been here for 10 minutec now and with every breath he says 'he-haw, and I'm almost siuk laughing at him." Well your niece thought the noise was made by you with the nightmare." Then Mr Headland nearly had a fit.

Yesterday morning when he reached his office in the George street station he found an envelope on his desk. When he had opened it he found a round robin in it signed by all the employes of the local offices and some of those in Jersey Oiu inquiring; about hU nightmare and how he had disposed of it.

Aug. 31. Tbe Governor has received the results ol the poll of the First Regiment, in Camp Alger the Fourth Regiment hero and the Third at Pompton Lake. No word has yet been received from the Seoond Regiment, the poll of which was to have been com pleted yesterday. The Governor refuses to give the result of the polls so far made, nor will he at any time make the extract vote public, as it would leave room for comparisons, which it is deemed wise to avoid.

As soon as the polls aro all in the Governor will make a reo ommondation to the War Department suggesting that the two regiments having the largest percentage of men willing to remain in the service be selected as the New Jersey regiments to be retained. Colonel Alexander C. Oliphant, who, with General K. P. Meanv, made a poll of the First Hcgjinent at Camp Alger, made his report to the Governor yesterday, Among other things, Colonel Oliphant reported that the hospital accommodations supplied to the First Regiment were inadequate, and the Governor at once called Quartet master-General Ludington up on the telephone and in a moment had secured the promise that a large hospital tent would be sent from Baltimore to the regiment.

The Governor has also wired Surgeon Allers, of the First Regiment, to telegraph at once what medical supplies are necessary for tho health of the regiment, and as soon as an answer is received the supplies will be hurried down at once. The Governor went to Washington today to try get some of the money due the State for the handling and equipping of the volunteer troops. The War Department is now indebted to the State to the extent Of a half million dollars. Nothing whatever has been paid to the State and the Governor feels that it is time some return was made.
