CHICAGO, July 16. The strike situation at Pullman appears to be growing more serious for the strikers. It !s the general opinion that if the Pullman works reopen torn. now there will be a stampede of men to get th"ir old places. During the last twenty-four hours the attitude of the strikers ha undergone u marked change, and where previously they were talking about how the light was won, today little groups of workmen talked about how they had lost the strike.

IN UNIQUE POSITION, TJie Mily DciUDcratle Tan Ii Inte from Tlii County. Joseph T. Fanning has announced Ms candidacy for state auditor on Pie democratic ticket. He enjoys the distinction of being the only candidate from Marlon county, the largest county in the state. Such a thing is unique and has probably never before occurred in the history of Indiana polities. He is making his campaign In a quiet, gentlemanly way saying nothinpr but good words for other candidates and merely speaking for himself. Marion county is conceded to him in the convention, for here, where he Is best known, it is recognized that by education and practical experience he is eminently qualified to acceptably fill the office. Mr. Fanning was born on a farm in Ohio, thirty-six years apo, thouprh the most of his life hfts leeii passed in Indiana. He possesses a pood education, has a large acquaintance and Is deservedly one of the brightest and most popular of the younsj democrats in the state. For several years ho wa.s employed in the office of the auditor of the Reit railroad, this city. He was deputy clerk anil then clerk of the city cf Indianapolis. In 1SS5 he was assistant clerk of the house of the Indiana legislature. Subsequently he nerved as deputy under County Auditor Tagprirt. From this position lie took Fervlce under Auditor of State Henderson as chief deputy nearly four years ago, which position he HU occupies. For many years he has been prominent as a worker and leader amonsr the Marlon county demo crats.

The caisson was blown to atoms, not a piece of It larger than a man's ha:id being found. The boulevard looked like a battlefield. There was a qulek series of explosions after the first report and shot ralnei Hue hail on the trees on the boulevard and pierced th surrounding dwellings. The concussion b.'Vke every window in the houses for blocKs away. The walls and roofs of the dwellings showed the terrific effect of the missiles.

The first cai-s..ti carried forty-two schrapnel und forty-four cartridges. The s -hraptvd are loaded percussion shells, containing fulminates ami small balls, and are bred from the cannon by a cartridge containing, as in this case, tnree uiel three-fourths pounds of powder. My theory of the accident is that the screw ping at tlie tuo of one of the sthrapnel became loosoneed, soni" of the powdT leaked out. and. being ground and pounded by the jolting ot the limber. Ignited, Ihe powder iu the cartridges exploded and the ignition of the cartridges in the otlier two cheats followed. In the second chest on the 1-aisH.in were twenty-six time sb.elis, sixteen shrapnel and nd their complement of forty-four cartridges; in the third and rear chests were forty-two shells and forty-four cartridges. "The force of the explosion can be more readily understood when it is rememlered that the 132 cartridges contained 4i'2 pounds f powder. The men who were In the detachment said that they recognized two distinct reports, seemingly almost simultaneous. This was the limber chest followed almost -in the instant by the other two cheats. The rattle of explosions that followed the grest detonations was the bursting of the schrapnel as they struck the ground. The men on the caisson were lifted by the explosion, while the horses were killed by the missies fron the s-hrapnel. Al of "the forty-two schrapnel in the limher chest exploded, while four of the Sixteen in the second chest were found unexploded. None of the shells exploded. They do not contain any fulminate and are fired by a time fuse. Is I'neipIiHnitble. "I lake no stock in the theory that dynamite had anything to do with it. The greatest caution is always taken about the ammunition. Etch chest is locked ly a Yale look, specially made for the government. There are no keys ill ar.y battery that will unlock any but the chest to which it belongs, and I do not believe there ks a key in Chicago that will unlock any of our artillery chests. The ammunition is most carefully packed under the supervision of an olüet r. Eveiy day it is examined. Th's caisson w.is Inspected last evening. All the schrapnel were looked after and the screw plugs examined and tightened. I have no recollection of a similar accident in t'ne United States artillery, und it is the lirst on record so far as I can learn. The guns wore tlie new rilled Held pieces recently Introduced into the ser ice and have never seen active duty. Th ammunition Is a couple of months old and has been jolted over tlie rough roads in Kansas, and yet when going at a light trot on the smoothest road in Chicago the explosion took place."

THE NEGRO KNOCKED OUT. IVtcr Miihcr'M Siiort Work of I'rnnU t'rn Ik. P.OSTOX, July 16. At Music hall tonight, after two rounds of as hot lighting as Posten has witnessed this season, Peter Maher stood waving his arms over the prostrate form of Frank Craig, the colored wonder from New York, whom he had knocked out by a chance righthander. It took but live minutes to settle the darkey's championship aspirations, but early in the battle it looked like a walk-over for him to win. In the second round Maher sailed into the negro and for the first minute it was give and take with honors easy. Then the lattle Inclined to the Caucasian, and he followed Craig all over the ring and finally caught him a. stiff uppercut full in the face. Before the darkey could get his guard into place Maher caught him Hunt one with the left again. Then Maher shot his right and Craig fell to the floor wLth a ban? that could be heard 11 over the hall. There he laid until Timekeeper Dan Murphy notified the referee that the time was up nnd the negro's seconds lifted him to his feet. He was then unconscious, but a few minutes of careful handling brought him around. lorley May Ilealwn. DUBLIN, July 16.
