There was a heavy sea on and the boys were caught by a receding wave and carried Into deep water. The torpedo boat Davis, being constructed at Wolff & Sewlicker's iron works, Portland, Ore., was gives a prelim-nary trial trip for forty miles. It is stated the boat made eighteen knots and the trial was entirely satisfactory. The required speed is twenty-two and onebait knots. Two south spans of the International bridge of the New York and Ottawa Railroad, now under construction across the Bt.

A trolley car of the Troy Olty Railroad Company was struck by the night bont special of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad at a crosshiR at the west end of the Hudson river bridge which connects the city with Lansingburg, and its load of human freight was hurled into the air. Eighteen of the thirty-five passengers are dead and nt least ten of the remainder will die. Fi,re in the Newark relluloM works and neighboring buildings at West Scott and Daroy streets. Newark, N. J., did fully J200.000 damage. Owing to the inflammable nature of the contents of the factory the blaze made an intensely hot fire. The fire started in the converting department of the big building ami spread wit. greater rapidity than hail the building been oil-soaked. Most of the surrounding buildings were three stories high, and were occupied by people working in the factory. They were rescued with flifliculty and most of them lost all their household jtoods. Fourteen persons were injured and taken to hospitals, some of the persons being seriously burned.

WESTERN.

The schooner Winslow sunk in a heavy gale near White Shoals in the straits of Mackinaw. Congressman S. A. Nortliwny of the Nineteenth district of Ohio is dangerously ill at Ashtabula. Fire broke out in the paint and oil room of Fenton's drug store, in the best built part of Rocky Ford, Colo. The entire block was consumed before the flames were controlled. The loss will exceed $50,000. During a storm lightning struck one of the mammoth iron oil tanks of the Buckeye Pipe Line Company, west of Findlay, Ohio, containing 35,000 barrels of crude oil. The tank exploded and set lire to a second one. The loss will be $60,000. A scaffolding in the tower of the union station at Kansas City, Mo., fell n distance of thirty feet, carrying down with it five workmen an! burying them beneath a shower of bricks, broken timber and plaster. It is thought none will die. Ezquil Cano, ex-convict, who broke jail at Santa Fe, N. M a few days ago and made good his escape, is now believed to have murdered three women within the past five years, besides having committed numerous highway robberies and burglaries. Private Alex Ln Duke, Company I, Second Wisconsin volunteers, was placed in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., to remain for life, for the murder of Private Thomas Stafford of the Thirteenth United States infantry in a saloon row in Ponee, Porto Rico. Two robbers traveling on bicycles are traversing Missouri. They stopped nt a hotel in Sedalia. but the second night they left, carrying with them jewelry and valuables secured from the gupsts' rooms. They were next heard of at Olenn, Mo., where they robbed a store and several farm houses. Fourteen business buildings at Rapid River, Mich., were destroyed by fire, causing great losses. In John Caswell's barn twenty-two horses were cremated. The village has nearly 2.000 population and is entirely without fire protection. The belief is general that the fire was of incendiary origin. A private telegram from George Q. Cannon, who is now in San Francisco, annonnces the death of the President of the Mormon Church, Wilford Woodruff. He had been troubled with kidney complaint for sonie time and went to the Pacific coast for tbe Improvement of his health about a month ago. Mr. Woodruff was born at Farmington, Conn., in 1807, and was one of the original 14T pioneers that reached Salt Lake valley in 1847. A tornado ctruck South St. Joseph, Mo., the stock yards suburb, at 5:30 o'clock the other afternoon, ami ibe damage is variously estimated at $25,000 and $50,000. Nearly every house in the town was more or less damaged. Roofs were blown off, corners were torn out and a number of buildings in course of construction were completely destroyed. The damage by water was also heavy, as the wind was followed by a perfect deluge. Much damage resulted to manufacturers and railroad shops in the sonth part of the city proper. Sewers were washed out and railroad washouts were numerous in all directions. Five men were killed by a premature explosion of dynamite near Stinesville, Ind. The men were at work on the Mount Tabor and Ellettsville turnpike and had prepared to blast rock for macadamizing. Fifteen men were working near the spot, but besides the killed only one was badly injured. Ail the dead were blackened and mangled almost beyond recognition. They were all married men and all leave small children. All lived in or near Stinesville. The debris and broken stone from the explosion were carried over a mile and the earth was s.iakcn as if by an earthqnake. It is not know what caused the explosion. The most important rase under the bankruptcy law yet recorded in Nebraska, so far as the amount of liabilities is concerned, has just been filed in tbe office of the clerk of the United States Court It is the petition of Ben Reynolds, a member of the firm of railroad contractors E. 1. Beynolds & Co., who lives at Wymore, Neb. The liabilities are close to ?2,000,000, and include notes for $118,000 for borrowed money, which are now held by Porter Skinner of Rock Island, III., and the balance made up of bills for supplies and other unpaid accounts incident to the company's business. The assets are given as a $50,000 judgment in the United States Court against tbe Union Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Reynolds seeks to be absolved from any further liability on these debts, or interest in the assets as a member of the company. The members of the expedition which sailed from San Francisco on the schooner Volcan in June of Inst year to buy reindeer for the United States Government

in Siberia, have returned. They were

John W. Kelly, Conrad Slem and Alfred

St. Leger. They landed on July 17 iu St. Lawrence bay. The natives seemed

friendly and there was every prospect of a successful mission. Dr. Sheldon Jack

son came over on the Bear and remained a few days, satisfied that the object of the expedition would be attained. Their trouble began, and for a year Kelly was ln imminent danger of incurring the hostility of the natives who object to any diminution of their stock of reindeer. In October, lfSfT, an attempt was tiinde to shoot Slem. Then it was rumored that a Russian was coming to oust them from their station. The men, who hud procured 450 deer and 250 fawns, thought it best to leave, and took passage on a whaler to Port Clarence, across the straits, on July C of this year. From that point they made their way to San Francisco, glml to have escaped with t'.ieir lives. SOUTHERN. At Harrodshurg, Ky., William Morgan, a brother-in-law of Col. Jack Cliinu. was shot twice in the breast by Junies Molierly and died. Heavy rainfalls and a cloudburst in the tower portion of Knok Comity, Tent'.., occasioned a general Mood in that section. Several streams running through Ktnixville overflowed their hnnks, washed uwny lumber and coal yards and also did damage to buildings by filling cellars with water. The Government steamboat Joi n I. Meigs was destroyed by an explosion at St. Philip, La. She had aboard Lieut. Jcrvey and a party engaged in removing the torpedoes laid in the Mississippi river during the beginning of the war. Lieut. Jervey had a narrow escape. Four men were killed and two badly wounded. Arkansas ejected a full set of State officers, 100 members of the'lower house of the i-icg'sluture, sixteen Btntc Senators

and local officers in each of the seventy

as well as the question of the liquor It cense in the different counties. The Democratic State ticket, headed by Dan W. Jones, was elected. FOREIGN. In a large fire nt Mnddaloni, near Caserta, Italy, seven men, two women and two children were killed. The Budapest newspapers report the discovery of n plot to murder Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier. The crown of the Netherlands was formally placed upon the brow of its young queen, Wilhclinina, at Amsterdam, amid general rejoicing. An agitation is growing nt Yokohama, Japan, out of the purchase by the State of four trunk railroads and reports arc revived that the Government intends to raise a foreign loan of $Si),OUO,000 iu order to complete pnhl ic works. The London war office received the following dispatch, dated nt Omduriniin, from the sirdar. Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener: "This morning the British and Egyptian flags were hoisted with due ceremony upon the walls of the sarays (the palace) iu Khartoum. The sidar. Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the khalifa's blnok standard, after a bloody battle, entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdinm, opposite Khartoum, Nubia, nt the head "f the Anglo-Egyptian column, after completely routing the dervishes and dealing a death blow to Mahdinm. War between France nnd Germany as n result of exposures to be made in the Dreyfus case and war between Great Britain and Russia over complications in the far east are confidently predicted by well posted politicians in Europe. Paris is excited over the disclosures following Colonel Henry's suicide and the wildest rumors are afloat. The people are demanding a retrial for the prisoner of Devil's Island and the government faces the prospect of war with the Kaiser if this is granted mil the whole truth told and a revolution a : home if it is refused. Officers of the French army threaten to resign and tell all they know of the Droyfus case, and many of the highest men in military circles are implicated in the promised exposures. No order for a revision of the Dreyfus verdict can be secured until the cabinet meets, and the ministers are now scattered, apparently wishing to keep out of the way for the present. Zoln, from his hiding place, has written Dreyfus' wife congratulating her. A report is current in London that a treaty of alliance between Great Britain and Germany, on the lines of the speech of Mr. Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, has actually been completed. This probably is an amplification of the gossip relative to the daily visits of Count Von Hatzfeldt-Woiden-burg, the German ambassador, to the British foreign office, which have been attributed to a desire upon the part of Germany and Great Britain to formulate a common policy in regard to Russia and China. Another explanation of the German ambassador's visits to the foreign office is that they relate to the mixed tribunals of Egypt, the international agreement on'the subject ending in February. Through French and Russian influence the court has always hampered the British plans for the use of the Egyptian savings nnd the advancement of Egypt. Now it is said an asreement has been almost reached by which Germany will support the British views relative to the future composition and powers of the mixed tribunals. It is said that a quid pro quo for Germany's support in Egypt, Great Britain will recognize Germany's claims to utilise Syria as an outlet for her surplus population. IN GENERAL. A combination including most of the large manufacturers of flint-glass bottles has been formed. Indians from tbe far north who have reached Dauphin, Man., report that a strange man descended from the clouds on the shores of Hudson's Bay. It is believed that the man is Prof. Andre. A trusted employe in oue of the Mexico city banks forged a check last April and drew out a customer's entire account, some $75,000, and went to Europe. The loss was not discovered until recently, when the depositor appeared and presented a check for his money. The clerk is now in England nnd measures will be taken to seenre him. Bradstreet's says: "The advent of September finds fall trade apparently in full swing at the west and northwest nnd more reported doing at Southern Mississippi valley points and in the east, but the volume of business in wool and dry goods in the latter section is rather smaller than expected. Reports from the iron and steel trade are in a high degree favorable, the tonnage movement being unprceedeutedly large and the tone of prices firm at the advances recently scored. The western crop situntion remains practically unchanged, rush wheat being lower on a rather larger movement of spring wheat, but an neiive demand for export lias furnished sustaining power. Corn has been ruled iu snr-pius-producing States by the weather, which is dry and hot, with a steadying effect on prices. Distributive trade is active in the wesi: and northwest, with dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps, millinery, clothing and hardware in most active distribution by jobbers, and with iron and steel and most of its products iu active demand and consumption by manufacturers. Wheat shipments for the week, including flour, aggregate 3,(iS",040 bushels, as against 3,563.470 bushels Inst week, 0,203,047 bushels in the corresponding week of 1897, 3,3(!0,S02 bushels in 1WMI. 2,200,201 bushels in 1S05. and 2,207,300 bushels in 1894. Since July 1 this year the exports of wheat aggregate 2!,8!)3.592 bushels, against H2.8dO.240 bushels during the same period last year. Corn exports for the week aggregate 1,H1,700 bushels, against 2.O4H.0M3 bushels Inst week, 8,185,004 bushels this week last year. 2.527,510 bushels in 1890, 1,405,370 bushels in 1805 and 127,000 bushels in 1894.

Gohin responded in an eloquent address of acceptance. The ceremonies attending the raising of the Hag were in charge of Caprain J. B. Sampson, after which there was a concert, with other festivities. In the evening the streets were densely packed with people to witr..--ss the illumination and dedication of the triiinphal arches. These separate ceremonies drew the throngs to different points an.

The nununl parade of the veterans, which took pho c Wednesday, strung out for miles, and when the first division had finished the march the last was still waiting to get iii line. Enthusiasm was never greater. The events of the pas! year have intensified the love in the American heart for the defenders of the tuition. Strains of martial music tilled the air. md from the ln-giiming to the end of the march the streets were densely packed with people. The enthusiastic ripple of applause which started at Centra: avenue swelled into a roar of patriotic cleers before the head of tile column had gone half a dozen aqtuircs. Thence, to the end of the inarch, past the reviewing stands, through lines of windows filled v-ith patriotic women atid sidewalks crowded to the curbs, it was one grand ovation fur the nation's old fighting men. li was a typical American scene, ll wa at die same time a welcome to the old soldiers r.nd a peace cclebrn! i-m.

DROP TO THEIR DEATH. Forty Bridge Workmen Arc Hurled Into thir M. Lawroscr. More than eighty workmen employed in biiildiug a bridge were hurled into the St. Lawrence river by the collapse of the structure, and it is believed at least forty were drowned or crushed to death by rht falling beams. Thirty-three men wen nikcii out of the water and placed in tin.' Cornwall hospital and eighteen of these afterward died. The others, it is feared, were swept away by the swift current aud the bodies will probably never be recovered. It was about noon when the two south spans of the international bridge of the New York ami Ottawa Railroad, which is now under coi.stniction across the St Lawrence river, about ihive miles nhovo St. Ht-gis Indian village, fell wjlb.ni' warning. All the men at work were precipitated into the wilier sixty feet IicIotv. The bridge consists of three spans, of which two were completed and the third was nearly completed when the south pier gave way n! its Inundation, causing both spans to fall six:y feet into the water, taking their human freight with them The scene of tic itcetdeitt is about foil.' mill's from I loiransburg, above the St Keis Indian teservai ion. The bridge wat Imoiik built across the St. Lawrence rivei at the foot of Long Sunlit- rapids, peat lieinbardt's lslatal. The water at (lilt point is li'iown to be as swift as in anj part of the river.

I lads. in of Terre Haute litis received a tc.i-i:rain informing her of the release of Iter son. Morton, who had been held iu a Mexican jail on a charge of murder. Several weeks ago Hudson and a onipaitioti. when riding into Mexico from their ranch in Texas, met two highwaymen nnd shot ihem. Fearing they would not get justice in a Mexican trial, they hid for a day or two, and this fact caused some feeling against them. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson. W. It. MeKi'eii, Congressman Fnris and Senator Fairbanks enlisted the State Department nt Washington in Hudson's behalf, and Minister Powell Clayton asked the Mexican Government to expedite the case. Hniisoti and his companion were well treated while in jail. Womun Charged with Murder. Mrs. Sarah ShankenlM'rger was arrested at Frankfort, charged w ith the murder of her daugbt 'I'-in-law, Mrs. Ed. Shtinkonlierger. Mrs. Shaiikeiibcrger died :i few davs ago. She made an ante-mortem

' statement expressing th" belief that: she

had been systematically poisoned by her mother-in-law. The contents of her stomach were taken to pr. Hurry of Indianapolis for anilysis. and his report was that he had found arsenic in deadly iian-

' lilies. Mrs. Shnnkenbergcr accepted her i arrest coolly and denies guilt. The dead ; woiniin's bus mil l is a member of the

I nitetl States navy, on board the cruiser Minneapolis. He has arrived home. The accused was committed to jail without bail. Widow In Fear of I'catb. When Mrs. Norton of 'Terre Haute re

turned to her home from the funeral of her husband she found her 17-ntonlhs-old child dead. When she left the house there was no indicitioii of approaching death. At the time Norton was dying the dial on tbe side of the court house clock, which could be seen front the house, darkened until the time could not be read. Immediately upon his death the shadow passed ii w ay. The widow now believes them is the same fato in store for herself and is prostrated. Found I lend Near His Home, Thomas Stall, 53 years old, a veteran of the civil war, was found dead within fifty fect Of his home in Indianapolis, He had been struck on the left temple, the blow causing conoissinn of the brain. The fact that his clothes ami hands were free from dirt, that the ground was undisturbed and that there were no signs of a struggle suggests the theory that he was murdered elsewhere cud that his body was placed ninr his home by the murderers.

The Populists of Floyd County held a

mass convention in New Albany to now

Richmond Pearson Hobsou, the iiero of the Merriiuar, for President in 1900. Iles-

olutions were adopted describing Hob-

son's heroism and Americanism, and indorsing him as n candidate for the chief

executive of the nation.

The V. M. 0. A. of Anderson and Ma

The farm house of Tom Wants, two miles east ot North Manchester, was

struck by lightning and wrecked in a ne

At Hagerstown, Uev. F. M. Moore, a

minister of the Liuted Brethren Church,

litis brought suit against the Central l"n-

ion Telephone Company for $2,500 dam

ages. The gro md of his complaint is the

failure of the tclephona company to prop-

crlv convoy a message ill which Uev. Mr.

Moore ,vu solicited to come to Falmouth

to preach a funeral sermon. After receiv

ing the message the complainant went to

Falmouth, but ipon arrival there found that Hie information conveyed in the mes

sage was erroneous and that there was no

funeral in tint port of the county. On account of the levity indulged in at his ex

pense by persons who learned of the peculiar mistake the minister was subjected

to great amioyanw.

While Samuel Morton was dying (he dial of the ciirt house clock at Terre Haute, which faced his home, turned .duck. The peculiar fact was called the atlcn.ioii o:' sonic of the neighbors and soon several hundred persons were st the street to tier to watch the apparently unaccountable occurrence. At 11:40 the face of the clock whs entirely black ami at the minute Morton died. Almost iusiautly the dnikiiess cleared away. The explanation accepted by till, except the totrcrstitiniis, is thai there was a peculiar shadow of. the sun.

M'KINLEY AT MONTAUK.

President Cheers the Soldiers by Kind Words While Making: Inspection. President McKinley spent seven hours In Camp Wikoff, Montnuk Point, ban headed most of the time, vis ting the sick in the hospital and inspoctiiiir the well iu their cantonments. He made a speech tc the assembled infantrymen, reviewed the cavalrymen, expressed his opinion of the camp to the reporters, and isaned an order directing the regulars to return to their stations east of the Mississippi. With the President were Vice-Pres-dent Hohart. Secretary of War Alger, Attorney General Griggs. Senator Red fie d Proctor ol Vermont; Brigadier General Eagan, commissary of the army; Brigndier General

Liidington, quartermaster f the army: Col. II. Ilccker and Seen -curies to th President Porter and Corteiicu. The ladies of the party were Mis. Alger and Miss Uecker. a daughter of Col. Hecker. Gen. Wheeler, his staff, and nearly every officer of prominence in the camp met the President at the station. After greetings and introductions on the railway platform, the President took Gen. Wheeler's arm nnd went to a carriage. The column of carriages wound up a hi l, escorted by the Third cavalry regiment, and the mounted band of the Sixth cavalry, nnd drove Mr. McKinley to Gen. Shaffer's tent in the tletention camp The general, who was Hushed and weal from a mild case of u..-iar:a fever, was iu full uniform, sitting in a chair at the door of the tent. He tried to rise, but Mr. McKinley said: "Stay where you are, general. You arc entitled to rest." The President congratulated Gen. Shatter on the Santiago campaign, nnd after a few minutes' rest proceeded to the general hospital. The soldiers recently arrived on transports and detained in the detention section of the cimp lined UP irregularly on each side of the road and cheered. Mr. McKinley tuck off his straw hat then, and scarcely more than put it on for more than a minute aT a time during the remainder of his progress throngh the cainp. Miss Wheeler, n il l lighter of the general, happened to be in the first row ot the hospital tents, and she showed the President through her di--siou. Gen. Wheeler announced in eact ward: "Boys, the President has come to sec you," or, "Soldiers, the President if the United States." Some of the soldiers wc-ie unconscious, some listlessly raised on their elbows, others feebly clapped their lmnds. Mr. McKinley gently shook hands with many, and at every cot he paused in instant, and if he saw the sick men Ionising at him he bowed iu a direct and personal way. He had many hits of talk with the men, and seemed to lie iii no hurry. He almost outwore the patience of all his party by slowgoing through ward after ward. PANDO FTKAL8 AWAY. Spanish General Startti for Madrid with 12,000,000 Franca, Havana is in a state of surprise at the secret departure of Gen. Pando with 12,000,000 francs. Few cat offer any explanation of tbe general's conduct, and apparently no one can tell where the big amount of treasure ame from. The army and civil pay rolls arc both several months in arrears, and there is in ich dissatisfaction among the Spanish at the withdrawal from Cuba of n sum of moiey which more than represented the amount due them. Gen. Pando, with the big hoard of money secretly went aboard the French stenmer Notre Dame de Saint. He turned his wealth over to Captain Piilard nnd rocked himself in his cabin until the boat left the harbor. SPANISH CORTES MEETS. Pasosta Introduces BUI for Fnrrender of lost lalnnds. The Spanish Cortes oicned Monday, and, contrary to general expectation, small interest was shown in ihc proceedings.

The public galleries were densely crowded, but those occupying Them were silent. In the Senate Prime Minister Sagasta

read a bill authorizing the Government to

conclude peace with the United States ami also authorizing the nlienution of territory. He said that the immense superiority of the Americans deprived the country of means of defense. The destruction of the squadrons compelled Spain to seek peace nnii necessitated the acceptance of the dismt inherment of the colonies proposed by the l.'nited States. NAVT TO HAVE 20,000 MEN. Enlisted Force Will Be Maintained at This Strength. The enlisted force of the navy is to b maintained to the full strength secured during the war, and as fast as vacancies occur through discharge nnd expiration ol enlistment period they vil! be filled by other seamen. The lushest number ol men enrolled in the navy reached 24,000, including about 4,000 mvral militia, all of which have been musteml out. Reduced to 20,000. there is every ndicntion that it will soon be less unless enlistments arc made to make up the deficiency. Reizlatercd War Bonds Issued. The Treasury Department on Saturday sent out its first batch of the registered war bonds, the issuance up to now having been confined to the coupon bonds payable to bearer. The department started putting out the coujion bonds in the last week of July, and the issue has comprised $20, $100, $500 and a few 1.000 bouda. There are about 20,000 cases calling for tht coupon bonds still to be net. About 45,000 esses are on file calling for registered bonds, and these will to met as rapidly as poivible. The issue w ill lie in the 2'Js, 100s, 500s, 1,000s, 5.000s and IO.iWOs. All to Be Heloascd. Acting Secretary Allen lias at thorized the release of all the Simuish naval prisoners raptured in the luule of July 3

trotn Cervera s licet. These are now at

Annapolis ami Seavey f. Island. Portsmouth, the officers being at the leadeiny aud the sailors at the ishntl. The condition of the men physically is all that could bo desired. The prisoners are to be returned to Spain at the- expense of the Spanish government. This was the condition upon which our government agreed to release them without parole or other restriction. Ordered Mustered Ont. A statement prepared at the War Department shows that up to Friday eightythree of the organisation; in the volunteer

army have received orders looking to their

being mustered out of the service. This number includes fifty-three regiments and a number of minor organizations, such as batteries of artillery, independent com

panies of cavalry, etc., mid probably rep-

rescnis almost one-third of the approxi

mately 220.000 men called for by the President in the two proclamations issued

by him.
