VERY BLOODY WORK

William Kline of Brightwood Left for Dead By a Fiend Who Hacked Him with a Hachet, NINE WOUNDS INFLICTED. His Wife and Children Were Near at Hand, And the Crime Was Committed in the Day Time. But Xo One Was Seen to Either Enter or Leare the Premises One Theory . Ja That Iiobbery AVas the Motive, as Kline Yesterday Drew His Wages lie Talks a Little, hut Soon Loses . Consciousness It Is One ot the Most Mj-sterious Affairs That Has Occurred for a Long Time A Peculiar Coincidence. William Kline, thirty-five years old, night engineer at the Big Four shops in Erightwood, is lying at his home in that suburb in an unconscious condition from the effects of several blows on the head inflicted with a hatchet. The assault, which will undoubtedly terminate in a murder, took place Thursday morning between the hours of 0 and 10:30 o'clock, while the injured man was sleeping in a front room of his home. His wife was either in the back part of the house or in the yard and his three children the oldest eight years of age, were playing about the front door at the time, yet the affair is shrouded in the deepest mystery. No one saw the man nnd as far aj coull be learned last night there is no clue. Drew Hi Money nnil Went Home. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning Kline left his work at the shops and went to .his home where he remained until after breakfast. He then left and went to the Brightwood station for the purpose Df drawing hi3 money from the pay car which arrived between 8 and 9 o'clock. He owed a small bill for tobacco at a neighboring store and after paying it he returned to his home, and after giving the money to his wife, about $43, he kissed her and retired to rest. She continued her work about the house and or. two different occasions went into the back yard. She saw no one nor heard any unusual noises until shortly after 10 o'clock, when a longdrawn sigh came from the room where her husband was sleeping. This was nothing unusual, and thinking her husband had merely turned over or was restless, she paid no attention to it, but. remained quieter than usual, thinking that she had disturbed him. Shortly afterward she heard groans in the room and thinking that he was sick, she quietly opened the door of the rooom to see what the trouble was. The Silit Horrified Her. She took one look and was horrified at the sight that met her gaze. The room was in a disordered condition, the bed covered with blood, which was also spattered on the walls, and on the floor behind the bed lay her husband bleeding from a dozen wounds on his head. A bloody hatchet which lay by his side told very plainly how the wounds had been inflicted. She attempted to raise him from the floor, but was unable to do so and, screaming, she ran from the house and cried loudly for help. A farmer was driving by the house at the time and with his assistance she lifted the unconscious form of her husband from the floor and placed him on the bed. Her cries attracted the attention of her neighbors, and in a very few minutes they came running from all directions. Messengers were hastily dispatched after physicians, and Drs. Brown and Johnson, who were the first to arrive on the scene, made an examination and at once stated that Kline was fatally injured. Nine different holes were found in his head, every one of them of a serious nature. Just above the ear on th left side was found a hole and inch deep exactly the size of the pole of the hatchet. The skull was fractured, r d, after removing large portions of .t, the brain oozed from the wound. A-iother fracture of the skull was found on top of the head, and the wound which had been inflicted there was nearly three inches in length. The blade of the hatchet had not been used by the murderer at all, and each wound showed that the pole had been partially . driven into the skull. There were other cuts which the physicians think may have been inflicted with a knife. Con I1 Not Talk. An attempt was made to talk to the injured ma , but his Injuries were of such a nature that he could scarcely speak. The hatchet was shown him, and he told the doctor that it belonged to him. He was asked who had assaulted him, and he said he did not know. These were the only sentences he uttered, and he soon became unconscious and has remained in tiat condition ever since. There are many theories afloat as to the cause cf the crime, but there are very few people in Brightwood who will for an instant entertain any other motive than robbery. Kline was known to be of a very Jovial disposition, and was not known to have an enemy In the world, according to the statements of his fellow-workmen in the shops. One of the Theories. The supposition is that when he drew his money from the pay car the robber, and probably murderer, witnessed the transaction and followed him to his

home for the purpose of robbing him and, watching a favorable opportunity, gained admission to the house and secreted himself in the closet in the room where the assault took place. After Kline retired the robber waited until he was asleep when he rifled his pockets and it is thought that while he was engaged in doing so Kline stirred uneasily or perhaps awoke and the robber, fearing that he would be recognized, attacked him -with the above result. Leaving him for dead the robber left the house by the front door, which was found unlocked by Mrs. Kline after she discovered that her husband had been injured, and climbing the fence that runs along the south side of the house he ran through the next yard, across the street into the woods, where he made his escape. Tracks were found leading in that direction, and a lady, whose name is withheld because she does not wish to become mixed up in the affair, saw a man running in the direction of the B'.g Four railroad, which passes through Brightwood on the south. There is a feeling that the assault was committed by local talent and some one who was thoroughly acquainted with the premises and had a knowledge of Kline's affairs. Wm SuvIiikt Mono'. It is known In Brightwood that he had been saving money for some time to make a payment on the house he occupies. The note comes due next week and the supposition was that he had considerable money secreted about the house and It is supposed that the man who committed the assault knew this and was after it. The peculiar part of the whole affair, and one which causes many persons to discredit this story, is why the robber should select the daytime to commit the robbery, when if he was acquainted with the surroundings he could come at night when Mrs. Kline was alone and unprotected and more easily accomplish his purpose. Then again it Is considered strange that he would leave his hiding place and go to the kitchen after the hatchets, with the chances ten to one that he would be discovered. Burglars are usually prepared with the necessary articles of warfare and do not have to search around in the homes of their victims after weapons. The Third Time. This is the third time an attempt has been made to rob Kline inside of a year and it seems as though he had been picked out as an easy victim. Once before his house was entered and a few articles taken and at another time he was robbed of $30 on the day he drew his money from the pay car. At the time he made the statement that he believed he knew who the robber was and if he could learn positively he would have him arrested. It 13 now believed by some that the man who committed the other robberies is responsible for his present condition and should he ever become able to relate the occurrence he can tell who did it. This is only a supposition, however. A Sentinel reporter visited the scene last night, and talked with many of those who seemed to know something about the affair. Every one has his own idea, but all, with one or two exceptions, believed that the motive was robbery, as Kline was known to have no enemies or to be of a quarrelsome disiosition. Humor Infoumlcd. Coroner Beck was notified about 6 o'clock that Kline was dead, and he immediately went to his home to find that the rumor was untrue. He made an effort to talk with the injured man, but scarcely anything could be gotten out of him. When asked it was a man or woman who struck him he muttered that he did not know, and all efforts to get any further information out of him proved fruitless. Kline, whose former home was in Madison, has lived in Brightwood about five years, and has been employed by the Big Four company all of this time. He was a blacksmith by trade, and when in Madison followed that vocation for a living. He carries a life insurance of $1,000, which will fall to his wife In case he dies.

A Peeallur Coincidence. It is a peculiar coincidence that within three months mysterious crimes have been committed in three of the largest suburbs of the city. First, the Smith case at North Indianapolis created intense excitement; then the shooting of John Tarpey occurred at Haughville, and now the murderous assault on Kline at Brightwood is added to the list.

Large trunks and small trunks, trunks covered with leather and wicker trunks 138 of them in every shape known to the trunk trade this morning blocked the hallways and sidewalk and attested with weight that the Infanta Eulalia would sail today for her native land. They made an imposing display that collection of trunks and drove Mr. Cheballo's men into tragical despair. The imposing head waiter even degenerated into mingled French and English to exclaim: "One hundred and eighty-five trunks. What responsibility for one man." The entire lot was loaded on two Immense tnlcks before Eulalia had opened her eyes, officially at least, and were sent rumbling off to the steamer. Arrange ments had been made for a breakfast of the Informal sort that the democratically Inclined Eulalia is said to prefer. The breakfast was partaken of at 11 o'clock. There were ten in the party, including the ladies and gentlemen of the princess party and Mr. Cheballos.. The party left Mr. Cheballos residence and were con veyed to the pier where they embarked on the French liner La Touraine, which sailed at 1 o'clock for Havre. Among the flowers and other remembrances which Eulalie found in her steamer par lor was a closed wicker basket containing twenty pounds of choice candy and decorated with ribbons representing the Spanish colors and an American flag, Mayor Gllroy had ordered it to be sent to the Infanta on board the steamship to console her on her homeward passage. The princess and her suite occupy eight cabins on the promenade deck in almost the center of the ship.

Vice Admiral Tryon Among the Ill-Fated Victims, 3Iost of Whom Have Xo Time to Es cape The Loss of Life Estimated at Fonr Hundred Some of tho Bodies Recovered and Buried at Tripoli with Military Honors The Tragedy Can es a Great Stir in Naval Circles at Washington. LONDON, June 23. A tragedy of the sea without parallel in the naval annals of recent times occurred today. The British battleship Victoria, the flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, has com pleted a checkered career by sinking off Tripoli after a collision with the Camperdown, a sister ship of the squadron. This tragedy, resulting in the loss of 400 men, Including the vice-admiral of the squad ron, had not been equaled in fatal results since thesinklng of the Royal George in 1782, when 6000 souls found their shroud in the ocean's waves. The accounts of the disaster are meagre and the responsibility for this woeful loss of life has not been fixed. Some of the ships of the squadron were manoeuvreing when the prow ram of the Camperdown struck the Victoria forward of the turrent on the starboard side. Through the enormous hole made by her slst?r ship thewater poured so rapidly that she was sinking before an effort could be made to man the boats. Even in the face of impossibility the sailors strove to close the break, but in the midst of their labor of desperation, the mighty hull turned completely over and went to the bottom fifteen minutes after the Victoria had 'received the fatal blow, the water closed over her and the brave hearts that were prepared to battle with all enemies of their country had ceased to beat because the probable mistake of a friend was more deadly than the guns of any foe. The loss of this ship with its attending terrible sacrifice of life is looked upon as confirming the opinion of many naval officers concerning the monster warships of the present day. While the Victoria might be unmatched as to efnciency in bombarding a sea port town or in destroying a sea coast, experts say she was decidedly too unwieldy for serious manouvreing off sea board. A naval engineer they point out has not progressed as rapidly as architecture, and the stupendous mass of a 10,000 ton warship cannot be controlled with the case the navy officer generally desires. It had been thought that the twin screws were the desideratum so longed for. They proved themselves excellent, Indeed, but the delay and waste of energy in propelling the Leviathans Is still the same. There is but little doubt in the minds of those who have knowledge of naval architecture that the loss of the Victoria was mainly due to the defects referred to above. It is probable that neither the Camperdown nor the Victoria could lessen the Impetus received from its engines when required. It is also commented that while scarcely anything has been done to nullify the deadly action of the "ram," the navies of the world have given hardly a thought to life-boat drill a proof of which is seen in the immense loss of life connected with the sinking of the Victoria. Taking it all together, the disaster is re garded by naval people as a severe les son to the navies of the world. The Latest Report. A dispatch received at 2 o'clock this morning from Beyrout says that the collision occurred at 5 o'clock yesterday af ternoon about seven miles from Tripoli. The vessels were almost at right angles when the Victoria was struck. Those on the Victoria's deck at the moment of the collision scrambled away and were res cued by boats from the Camperdown Woman's Danger. No man can ever know the devoted martyrdom of many women. Unselfishly a woman works and suffers that home and loved ones may be happy. When it seems as though her back would break, when she grows irregular, faint, irritable, loses all interest in society, gets the "blues," is crushed with that indescribable feeling of " bearing-down," she 44 drags along," day after day, suffering agonies that would appal a man.

SICK II KAD A CIIC

Dear Bro.Mek, Editor Central Methodist,' CatletUburg, KJ.i "I see in the last 'Central' that you want a remedy for Sick Headache. If you will use a remedy that you advertise in your paper every week, I am sure you will be greatly benefited thereby and I believe cured. I have been a sufferer from Sick Headache, I can say almost from Infancy, and have tried every remedy I could get and never found anything to do me any good until I used Simmons Liver Regulator. It has been nearly three years since I first used it and I have not had Sick Headache since, and I never used but two and one-half packages of the Regulator. I sent my sister (who had from one to two attacks of Sick Headache every week) one-half of a package, and she has not had it since. I feel for anyone who suffers with that terrible disease, and I hope you will give it a trial." C. S. MORRIS, Brownsville, W. Va. and several other vessels. The men below had no time to reach the deck. The sudden keeling of the Victoria caused her to begin to fill immediately and no escape was possible. She went down in eighty fathoms of water. It is difficult to obtain the names of the rescued, a3 they are aboard several vessels and so for all efforts have been devoted to re covering bodies. Shortly after the collision five bodies were taken from thewater one of them the body of the chief paymaster. They were buried last evening with military honors at Tripoli. The Camperdown was severely damaged forward in the collision. Temporary repairs will be made and she will then start for home. It is said here that several times the Victoria showed signs of weakness in her steering gear. One theory is that on account of this weakness she became unmanageable and could not be got out of the Camperdown.s way. DETAILS OK TIIK DISASTER. Which Cost Hundreds of .Men Their Llv- The Ship Inwleldj. LONDON, June 23. A most terrible calamity has befallen the British battleship Victoria, flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, in which hundred of lives have been lost. The Victoria, which flew the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, K. C. B., was run into off Tripoli by the British battleship Camperdown, also belonging to the Mediterranean fleet, and under the command of Capt. Charles Johnstone. The Victoria had an enormous hole made In her side, through which the water poured in torrents. The immense hull of the great ship at once began to settle, and before those on board of her could cast loose their small boats she went to the bottom, carrying down with her nearly all on board. Some of the officers and crew managed to get out of the suction caused by the sinking vessel and were rescued. Among those lost is Vice-Ad-miral Tryon. The first reports of the disaster stated that about 200 men had been drowned, but the later dispatches show that the loss of life was far greater, not less than 400 of the officers and crew of the Victoria having gone down with the ship. The Victoria was a twin-screw battleship of 10,470 tons and 14,000 horse-power. She mounted fifteen guns. The Camperdown is also a first-class twinscrew battleship. She is of 10,000 tons and 11,500 horse-power, and carried ten guns. Admiral Sir George Tryon was commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean station. He was made a vice-admiral Aug. 20, 1891. Rear Admiral Albert II. Mar,kham of the Trafalgar, the flagship of the rearadmiral, In the Mediterranean, has telegraphed to the admiralty, from Tripoli, Syria, under date of today, as. follows: "I regret to report that while maneuvering off Tripoli this afternoon, the Victoria and Camperdown collided. The Victoria sank in fifteen minutes, in eighteen fathoms of water. She lies bottom uppermost. The Camperdown's ram struck the Victoria forward of the turret on the starboard side. Twentyone officers were drowned. Two hundred and fifty-five men were saved. The injury to the Camperdown has not yet been ascertained." Koine of the Victim. The complement of officers and crew of the Victoria comprised Gu-0 men. The list of officers drowned Included, besides Vice Admiral Tryon, Chaplain Morris, Lieut. Munro Fleet, raymaster Rickord, First Engineer Foreman, Engineer Harding, Assistant Knglneers Deadman, Hatherly and Seaton, Gunner Howell, IJoatswain Barnard, Carpenter Beall, Midshipmen Ing'.is. Grieve, Fawkes, Lanyon, Penly, Gambler, and Scarlett; Cadet Stooks and Clerks Allen and Savage. A change had recently been made In the commander attached to the Victoria, Charles Lottley having been detached .and succeeded by Commander Fellicome, who was saved, as were also Captain Maurice A. Bourke and fifteen other officers. The first dispatches concerning the accident led to the belief that the disaster had occurred off the coast of Triixjli, North Africa. Later advices had show that the scene of the calamity was near Tripoli, a seaport town on the eastern Mediterranean, fifty miles northeast of Beyroot, Syria, and a comparatively short distance from the island of Cyprus. The eastern Mediterranean has proved a most unfortunate cruising ground for the Victoria, for, as above stated. It was in this part of the sea that she met with her serious accident In January, 1892. A Former Accident. Then she ran aground off the Greek coast near Platea, and she was only floated off after an immense amount of labor and large expense. It was said that this accident was due to carelessness. A boat's crew from the Victoria was sent to mark with a buoy a shoal, the existence of which was known to the Victoria's officers. The shoal is a narrow one, and extends out from the Greek shore. The boat's crew was instructed to go along the shoal front from the rhore until ten fathoms of water was reached, and then to mark the spot with a buoy. When within a hundred yards of the end the boat got off the shoal, and at next sounding showed ten fathoms of water where the buoy was anchored. The Victoria then came along at a good rate of speed at right angles to take position for torpedo practice, nnd, passing well outside the buoy, struck the shoal and remained fa3t. The Hon! Maurice Bourke, captain of the Victoria, and a son of the late earl of Mayo, who Is the youngest post captain in the British navy, was held responsible for the accident, and was severely reprimanded by a court-marshal. The Kmperor' Word. LONDON, June 23. The duke of Edinburg has received this dispatch from Emperor William II: "Words cannot express our horror. We all sympathize with your British comrades. As a token of our sympathy your ensign is flying from the main mast of our vessels with our own ensign at half mast according to my orders." , The duke of Edlnburg replied: "The British navy and nation feel deeply the sympathy expressed by your majesty and our brother officers In the German navy in this great disaster." In discussing the disaster this evening Lord Hrassey, sometimes secretary of the admiralty, said that the sinking of the Victoria supplied a strong argument against building more bis men-

of-war. It was evident, he said, that the Victoria's armor afforded her no protection from the Camperdowns ram. While not convinced that smaller vessels were safer than the large ones, he thought it wiser to distribute the country's naval strength among many less pretentious men-of-war rather than among a few monster battleships. It was poor policy to put so many eggs In one basket. A court circular Issued this evening says that the queen received the news with the deepest grief and that "her heart bleeds for the many homes plunged in mourning." The queen will publish tomorrow a special letter of condolence with the families afflicted by the disaster. As soon as the officers of the Victoria saw that there was danger of the ship foundering , orders were given to close the collision bulkheads In order to keep the water in the compartment, into which the Camperdown had shoved her ram. The sailors tried to obey the order, but the ship was making water too fast to allow of closing the bulkheads, and, while the men were still trying to shut them, the vessel, with her immense guns and heavy top-hammer, turned over and carried them. down. The Xew in London. The news of the calamity has caused

the most intense excitement, not only among those who had friends on board the ill-fated ship, but among all classes of the population. The admiral's office in Whitehall is besieged by relatives and friends of the officers and crew, reporters seeking further details of the disaster and throng3 of people attracted by curiosity. So dense was the throng In the vicinity that the admiralty officials were compelled to summon police to restrain the crowd. No information has been received at the admiralty since the receipt of Rear Admiral Markham's first official telegram, which Is above repeated. All official telegrams in regard to the loss of the ship will be sent at once to the queen at Windsor castle. As soon as her majesty received Admiral Markham's dispatch, which was immediately forwarded to her, she gave orders for the postponement of the state ball that was to have taken place at Buckingham palace tonight. Mr. Giarstone was greatly shocked when he was informed of the sinking of the Victoria and the great loss of life that attended the foundering of the vessel. The prime minister informed the house of commons the accident and paid a most glowing tribute to the worth of Vice-Adiniral Tyron, who, he said, was one of the .ablest and most esteemed officers in the service of her majesty. Mr. Gladstone said that there were 611 officers, seamen and boys, and 107 marines on board the ship. It was feared that of this total of 718 souls 4S0 had been lost. He was sure the deepest sympathy of the house would be felt for the brave men who had found an early death in the service of their country and that it would be extended to their relatives and friends. The lit. Hon. L.ord George Hamilton, formerly first lord of the admiralty, indorsed everything that Mr. Gladstone had said, and expressed the deepest regret for the calamity that had befallen the country in the loss of so many brave officials and men. The Victoria. The Victoria was a single turret ship, carrying two 110-ton guns mounted In a forward turret, coated with eighteen Inches of compound armor; one ten-inch twenty-nine-ton gun firing aft. and a broadside auxiliary armament of twelve six-inch five-ton guns. Of artillery of smaller nature, she carried twenty-one quick firing and eight machine guns. Her maximum sieed was lti.75 knots. She could tow 1,100 tons of coal in her bunkers, and her radius of action at ten knots' speed, with her full complement of coal, was estimated at 7,000 knots. Her armored belt and bulkhead conFisted of compound armor from sixteen to eighteen inches in thickness. She was built at Elswick. Some Kiiclli.li Oplnlonx, An interview was had today with Lord George Hamilton to ascertain his views as to the disaster. He said that without a doubt the Camperdowns ram had cut away the plating on the Vlctorl outside of several of hc-r transverse bulkheads. Had this not been the case the bulkheads could have been closed and the water kept In one, or at the most, two compartments and still she would have floated, but with the plating torn or cut away outside of several of the bulkheads the inflow of water would have been enormous and there would have been no time, even if it would have availed anything, to close the bulkheads. Lord George Hamilton further said he thought that with the plating torn off the water must have entered the ship in a solid mass and thus entering on one side caused the vessel to capsize almost immediately. The blow from the Camperdown, he thought, must have been delivered slantingly to have done the damage he thought had been done. The damage would bo all the greater to a ship with her bulkheads pierced. She would thus be worse off than a ship with no bulkheads. The cause of the collision, he said, was as yet a matter of conjecture and he declined to express an opinion on this poin. An interview was also had with the Rt. Hon. Arthur Bower Forwood, a well-known ship-owner, senior partner of Leech, Harrison & Forwood of Liverpool, and Forwood Bros. & Co. of London, who was formerly secretary to the udmiralty. Mr. Forwood said it was a wonder that such an accident had .not occurred defore. The Victoria had a longitudinal bulkhead running through her, besides a number running across ship. She was thus divided Into compartments on each side of longitudinal bulkhead without communication between them. In his opinion what had occurred was this: The Camperdown had struck the Victoria a ripping blow, glancnig alongside and opening out the plates above several of the compartments. The water was then admitted into a number of the compartments on one side of the ship, causing her to capsize by Its great weight. The longitudinal bulkhead was a good thing In Its way, Mr. Forwood said, but It did not serve to avert disaster. The immediate cause of the collislo.n he added, cannot now be exactly stated. The squadron appears to have been manouvreing, probably within a space of three miles, leaving a small area for each vesel to move in. A mistaking of signals may have caused the accident. The accident to the Victoria ! has never been equalled in fatal results ' in naval annals of recent times. The j foundering of this newest type of warships calls to mind a somewhat similar . accident, similar as far as great loss of : life Is concerned th.it befell the English j line of battleship Loyal George in 17S2. ! In that year the Royal George, carrying 108 guns, was lying off Splthead. She had been keeled over for repairs, when a sudden gust of wind caused her ; to heel over until the sea entered her . open ports. She filled and went down with all on board, including Rear Admiral Kempenfeldt. were on board at A number of women the time and they. too, were drowned. Altogether about six hundred persons lost their lives in the disaster. The queen has sent Col. Carrington to express her sorrov and sympathy to Lady Tryon. On the evening following the afternoon of the disaster, Lady Tryon, who arrived from Malta three weeks ago, was holding her first reception of the season. Two hundred guests were present. When the news of her husband's death reached her she fell In a faint. Royal functions ai the program for next week have ben postponed. The lord mayor has opened a fund for the benefit of the needy families who lost members in the disasters. The morning newspapers ate tilled with articles describing the vessels and with obituary of the most conspicuous officers lost. All publish leaders extending condolnc to the friends of the drowned men. ' T-". 1 . . . 1 Aiilnl.aa Atvttfal Trvnn The Dally News says editorially: "America will thrill at the news, coming as It does when the New York cheers for our squadron have hardly died away. Are we to pay so much in millions and

broken hearts ynly to learn that the department system Is a delusion and a snare?" The Times says: The Inquiry into the causes of this disaster must be searching and exhaustive the punishment. If blame be found to exist, adequate and unflinching" Only so can the lesson of the great calamity be turned to account. The true lesson is not that maneouvres at sea are too hazardous, but that only by incessant practice of evolutions at high speed can the navy be fitted for the necessities of war."

ADMIRAL TYHOVS CAREER, One of the Mont IMut liignlslied nval Oflieer In Her 3IaJetys Servicer WASHINGTON, D. C, June 23. Sir George Tyron, the vice-admiral who went down- in his flagship, the Victoria, Is one of the best known of British naval officers. Commander Chadwick, now in charge of the naval intelligence office here, was well acquainted with him during his residence in London as U. S. naval attache, and he speaks in terms of high praise of the admiral's character and ability as a naval officer. He was a man of vast experience, his service beginning in the days before steam was a prominent feature in naval architecture, and running through all the various phrases of development that were marked by the substitution of steam for sail power, of Iron for .wooden hulls, of steel and lrou for broadsides, and of armor for thin sheathing. He was a man who had earned the highest honors within the gift of the British nation. His name first appears on the naval list away back In the days of the Crimean war, when he served in the naval brigade before Sevastapol during the winter of 1S03-C4 In the trenches, where he was wounded. He was present at all of the operations before Sevastopol, and at the capture c! Kinburn. He received medals for distinguished services, and was especially, mentioned In dispatches, for services as director of transport during the Abyssinian war of ISC?. He was private secretary to the Irst lord of the admiralty 1S71-74, received various orders of knighthood and received the approval of the government for the manner in which he discharged his duties on the coast of Tunis and in the Sfax commission of inquiry inlSSl. He became acting permanent secretary to the admiralty in 1SS2 and permanent secretary in the following year. In 1SS4 he became com-mander-in-chief on the Australian station, and after a brief attempt at a parliamentary career was made admiral superintendent of naval reserves in He commanded one of the opjosing fleets in the naval maneuvers In 18SS-K) and 1890, and was made commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean forces Aug. 20, 1S91. IHG SCAXDAL, IX C AX ADA. Government Contractor Steal Thon an du of Dollarn. MONTREAL, June 24. The govern mental inquiry into the building of the two iron bridges across the Lachine ca nal at Montreal is unearthing one of the biggest public works scandals ever discovered in Canada. The original sum voted for the two bridges was 175,000, but the work has already cost 600,000,000 and Is not completed. Emanuel St. Louis, a French contractor, had a con tract with the government to supply all the men and teams needed at a stated figure. He got them at whatever price he could and made oO cents per day each out of the men and from 1 to 1.50 each out of the teams. He engaged all the men and teams on the work that he could secure and at one time there were 1,200 men employed, packed so close together that they could not swing a pick. In one yard a gang of fifty men used to loaf all day long and in the evening the government timekeeper would come around and take their time. Siones were hauled by teams owned by a member of the provincial legislature. They were carried twenty miles from the quarry to the works at the rate of one load a day, and this with a railroad running right into the mouth of the quarry. Stone that should have cost only $." per cubic yard to trim actually cost $09 per yard. In many 'nstances it took ten men to load a single team with lumber. Thousands of dollars' worth of tools and material were purchased for the work that were never used. The value of the useless plant left over, not counting what was stolen by employes. Is about 50,0"0. There are heavy liquor bills and tales of expensive champagne supplies in which the canal officials figured. On one contract for 14,003 worth of lumber 10,000 were charged by the contractor, and the extra lumber can not be found.

The government did not have any Idea till lately of what was going on, as the big accounts were all held back. Five Injured In an Explosion. NEW YORK, June 24.
