SAD AFFAIH IN CHICAGO.

OIICAOO, July IT.—One platoon of battery F, Second United States artillery, wris wiped out of existence Monday afternoon by the explosion of an ammunition caisson near the corner of Oakwood and Grand boulevards. Every man in the platoon was either killed outright or fearfully bruised aud burned.. The unrecognizable fragments of the two cannoners who sat on the limber were scattered over several acroA of ground. One man had his head blown from his shoulders. The cavalry escort, consisting of two troops In front of the ill-fated battery and one behind, was stampeded, and rnanj' of the men blown from their horses and seriously injured. Nine heavy artillery and cavalry horses were killed outright, the pieces of some of them lining blown through the air. Heavy caissons were torn literally to atoms, (ireat chunks of iron and sections of wheels were hurled hundreds of yards. Some of them pierced the stout oak doors and the plate-glass windows of the residences along the boulevard, and some buried themselves deep in the ground. Several persons on the street were more or less injured. One woman was driven insane. All the houses for a block or more in every direction were honeycombed with shot, the windows being broken, the roofs punctured, furniture and carpets torn and burned and yards of plastering shaken down. The shade trees, big elms and cottonwoods, which stand along the boulevard were stripped of their branches and foliage and pierced with hundreds of pieces of shrapnel shot and fragments of iron. Hlood was everywhere. Great pools of it stood along the edges of the pavements and were constantly fed by trickling streams from the mangled heaps of dead or dying men and horses. It was spattered on the telegraph poles, and the brown stone residences, 150 feet away, were frescoed with it. Five minutes after the explosion the street for several blocks looked as If two armies had fought desperately over it and had withdrawn for a moment to prepare for another sally. For the first time the troops sent out to protect the city against the strikers had experienced all the horrors of war. The blood of soldiers had been shed.

Riley, Battery F, Second regiment, Fort Riley, thrown to the ground and bruised.

On Practice Hide to the City, ('apt. Dodd, in command of a detachment of artillery and cavalry, had set out from Brighton Park early in the morning for a practice ride into the city. At the head of the column was troop of the Sixth regiment. Fort Riley, Ivan., under the command of Lieut. Tate. Following them was troop II of the Sixtli regiment from Fort Niobrara, fortj men, commanded by Lieut, llyer. Then came the illfated battery of the Second, two guns and caissons, in charge of Lieut. Uale. They were from Fort Riley, Kan. The rear was protected by Lieut. Tompkins, with troop of the Seventh cavalry, forty men, from Fort Sheridan.

A little before noon the column reached the lake front and a halt was taken for rest and lunch among the soldiery encamped at that point. About 1 o'clock Capt. Dodd gave the word to march, and the cavalcade wheeled into Michigan avenue aud began its southward course. Upon swinging into Grand boulevard the command "double quick" echoed down the line. There was a jingling of spurs, a clattering of saber scabbards and the horses broke into along easy trot. The guns bumped over the pavement with the cannonaders clinging to the limbers. It was a few minutes before 1:80 o'clock when the column reached the corner of Grand and Oakwood boulevards. The speed of the horses had not been decreased.

Kxploslon Followed by a Fusillade, One of the caissons bumped over a projected stone in the pavement. It settled down with a jolt. The next moment the iron cover of the limber

with the two cannonaders clinging to it shot into the air. As it arose a blinding sheet of flame came up and enveloped it. It was all In the twinkling of an eye. Before the troopers could turn their heads tho noise of the explosion followed the fire. It was louder than the report of a thousand guns fired at once. A perfect fusillade of shots followed, but they were hardly heard In the deafening roar which preceded them.

awful scene of carnage. The troopers had been struck by the concussion as by a mighty wind. They scattered to the right and left. Some of them were throws to the ground others wore lifted and borne scores of yards down the street. Nearly all of them were knocked partially senseless and deafened.

Hurled Into the Air.

The bodies of Donovan and Doyle, the two men who sat on the limber, were praotically destroyed. Doyle was hurled hundreds of feet into the air, and a part of his trunk fell in a vacant lot at the corner of Fortieth street and Grand boulevard, a full quarter of a mile from the scene of the explosion. As It descended it caught on one of the iron steps of a telegraph pole where it hung for a moment and then dropped to the ground, leaving a torn piece of flesh clinging to the hook. Not far distant from the body was part of a wheel and tho heavy Iron axle of one of the oalssons. It weighed over 800 pounds and in order to reach the spot it must have been hurled over a 80-foot Bignboard.

No recognizable piece of Donovan's body could be found. In a vacant lot about 1,000 feet from the soene of the aocident several boys picked up pieces of limbs and body supposed to belong to him. Private Jesse L. Dunn found a leg with the burning shreds of a sock still clinging to it. In one of the elm trees in the center of the boulevard a part of a man's skull thought to be Doyle's was lodged.

The pavement in the vicinity of the explosion was broken and running with blood, the sod was torn up with shot and shell as if it had been harrowed, and the dying men lay heaped with the mangled remains of the horses. Torn bits of harness, broken wheels, branches of trees and exploded schrapnel lay scattered everywhere. Three of the horses, torn almost beyond recognition, were lifted over the tops of roadside trees and dropped in a heap more than 200 feet from the scene of the accident. fill Head Blown Off.

The soldiers had to beat back the orowd before proper attention could be given to the_ wounded. The body of Farrier Galler was found lying in a pool of blood. Ills clothing was still burning. Ills head was missing. It had been cut oil at the shoulders aDd could not be found. Private Stoltz lay unconscious on the mangled body of one of the horses. His clothing was all afire, but the soldiers succeeded in stripping him before he was fatally burned.

Boulevard Residences Damaged. Imposing residences on either side of the scene of the explosion now stand with blank paneless windows and torn and shattered walls. Pieces of shell, wagon rims and fragments of iron torn from wagons were driven with terrific force against the stone walls and into crevices between the stones, where tlie.v still cling as evidence of the fury of the blast. Wagon hubs, spokes and felloes were driven with resistless force through plate glass windows and went tearing through parlors filled with costly statuary, lamps, mirrors and draperies, smashing and tearing everything In their course. Heavy oaken doors were thrown down and stone columns, weighing thousands of pounds, were torn away and fragments hurled in every direction. Plate glass iay shattered within the walls of palatial homes, not a house within the block escaping damage.

Theory of the Explosion.

Gen. Miles, on being1 informed of the disaster, sent Col. Wllllston to the scene to secure a report of the affair. Col. Williston, while lie could discover absolutely no facts concerning' the cause of the explosion, has a theory which may explain it. lie said: "My theory of the aocident is that tho plug at the base of one of the shrapnels became loosened, some of the powder leaked out, and belnu ground and pounded by the jolting of the limber. Ignited, the powder In the cartridge* exploded, and the Ignition of the other two chests followed. •The shrapnel Is probably the most deadly projectile thrown by modern guns. The 8-inch vhclls are of steel and carry ut their tips a brass combination fuse screwed on this fuse has both a fulminate cap and a time fuse, HO that the shell will explode either on contact or at any desired range. In the bead of the shell is about half a pound of powder. Bach of these are the missiles that kill. The bullets are arranged In layers, each layer resting in a brittle cast-Iron riug. The rings are perforated no that the bullets lie deeply In them. When the explosion comes each of these rings Is burst luto a number of jagged fragments that make awful wounds. Each shell holds 150 bullets, and It Is expected the rings will burst Into 150 bits—800 missiles In all. lcavlug out the scraps of the shell itself."

HE IS CONFIDENT STILL OF VICTORY.

The Seat of Operations to lie Transferred to Trans-Mlsslsslppl Territory—Talk of a New Labor Organization—Much

News of Interest.

HE IS HTII.I. UOI'KKRI..

CHICAOO, July 17. The executive committee of the A. R. U. hold a long session at the Revere house Monday At its conclusion President Debs said that he would concede that the strike was lost at Chicago, and that it would be carried on with renewed vigor nt points west of the Mississippi river. The committee had decided to place a number of organizers in the field in order to carrion this work. The committee decided that henceforth the plans of the union would not be made public, and it was said that the first intimation the public would have of what the officers of the organization intended to do would be the accomplishment of the proposed plan. President Debs did not predict any new tie-ups for Chicago, but he said the various roads are moving very little freight. He said that the reports which had been received by the committee indicate that nearly all of the men who had gone out in the first place are still out. A dispatch from West Superior, Wis., announced that the terminal men at that point ad gone out and another from

La Salle. 111., said that the Rock Island was again ed up at that point. Keat of Operations to Be Transferred.

It appears from preparations that it is the intention of the strike committee to transfer the seat of operations to the territory west of the Mississippi river, nd it was said that with the western country tied up the union would yet be able to bring a number of the lead-_ ing roads into line. Reports were received from Kansas that members ol the Hrotherliood of Locomotive Engineers were taking the places of the members of the American Railway union who had gone on strike. This report did not dishearten the strikers in the least, for they said it was nothing more than they had expected.

A Humor Denied.

Before the adjournment of the meeting in Ulilieh's hall a representative of the mediation committee of tlit I'ullman strikers appeared and said that the report that the men of Pullman intended to go back to work wat untrue. The committeeman said that the strikers had resolved not to gc back to work under any circumstances until the executive committee of the American Railway union told them tc do so. They were ready to obey anj orders the committee might issue.

A Ntnv Organization.

In the course of some remarks, in which lie told his hearers that there was no iutent'ion of the officers of UnAmerican Railway union to declare the strike off and severely criticised the action of the American Federation of Labor, Vice President Howard said that there was a movement on foot to establish another organization among the working people which should be known as the American Laboi union. The new organization was tc include every man who had worked for a living, and it would have for iU purpose the wiping out of the differences which have in the past existed between the great central bodies aud which have kept thetn from ucting in unison on any question, even though it might be of the utmost importance to the men represented by the national bodies.

After the meeting Mr. Howard said the new organization had already been given a start, a local union having been formed Sunday in the stock-yard* district. It was composed of men who objected to joining the Knights of Labor and whom the American Federation had failed to organize. Mr. Howard said that as he understood It the American Labor union would occupy the gap between the American federation and the Knights of Labor and would take in all who work for a living on an equal footing. In its general workings it would pattern after the American Railway union. Among local labor men the formation of anew central national body does not meet with much encouragement, and they say that while they will do nothing to retard its progress they will in no way aid in the movement. l.abor Men Offer Financial Aid.

A committee representing the local trades unions has waited upon President Debs and assured him that the workingmen of tho city will furnish all the money needed to carry on the strike for as long a time as the American RaiUvay union may elect. Ol late President Debs' private mail has contained a number of anonymous letters threatening his life. Mr. Debs pays no attention to these and tears them up as soon as they are. rea l.

Union Men Returning to Work. There is peace once more in the ranks of the local labor organizations. Monday nearly all of the members of organizations which went on strike last week in sympathy with the American Railway union returned to their work, and it was said that soon all would be in their places. The Chicago trade unions have come to the conclusion that they can be of more practical benefit to the American Railway union by remaining at their work and providing the railrond organization with funds with which to continue the fight against the railroads.

Railways Report Freight Moving. According to railway managers and superintendents all through passenger and suburban trains left and arrived on schedule time Monday and the freight situation was greatly improved. None of the officials would say that the freight business was nt all crippled and some of them asserted that they were moving more freight trains aud doiug a greater transfer business

than at any other time during tho year. Refuse to Yield.

The Pullman strikers were given the opportunity Monday night to go back to work. No conditions were attached. They declined to accept the invitation. Col. Turner and Dr. H. W. Thomas acted as peacemakers. During the day placards were stuck up around town calling for a mass meeting at 8 o'clock in the New Market hall. More than 1,000 men and women attended. To the advice of Col. Turner a«d Dr. Thomas to return tQ Vgrlcfa unaniinoM shoal of

"Never" was returned, and the'object of the meeting proved fruitless. During the day negotiations looking to the opening of the works and the reemployment of the old men were conducted between Messrs. Turner and Thomas and Vice President Wickes. The latter agreed that if the men stated their willingness and desire to return to work the company would consider the proposition.

A TRAIN DITCHED.

A Wreck on the Grand Trunk Road Near Hattle Creek. BATTI.K CUKEK, Mich., July IT.— Train No. (1 on the (Irand Trunk railroad was wrecked here at 8 a. m. Monday. The fireman was killed outright, and several of the train crew and passengers injured The wreck was caused by the removal of the fish-plates from the rails on the grade west of the city. The train was running about 25 miles an hour, and when it struck the misplaced rail the engine, tender aud baggage car were ditched, and the day coach and one Pullman turned across the track.

A Japanese Girl of the Period. Another incontestable proof of the rapid advance of the Japanese In civilization of the west is the following advertisement, which appeared in a Tokio paper recently: "A young lady wishes to get married. She is very beautiful,has a rosy face, which is surrounded by dark curly hair. Her eyebrows show the form of the half moon, and the mouth is small and pretty.
