HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
Two Officers Blown TO Fragments
by a Torpedo.

WASHINGTON, August 30-The particu-
mander Edes and Spalding by the explosion
of a torpedo, at Newport, R. l., yesterday,
have been received.
Both officers were in the inner harbor in
a torpedo launch, aud were putting the
torpedo in position, In order to exhibit an
experiment to Admiral Porter. The torpedo
was to be exploded by the breaking of
an electric circuit. Edes had the
deadly missile in his lap while Spaulding
was rowing the launch. The tide was low,
and the torpedo was planted ia about
three fathoms of water. Near by were the
remainder Of the class under the instruction
board. Admiral Porter, Capt. Selfridge and
the officers of the torpedo station were on
Goat Island, where the torpedo station is
located, for the purpose of witnessing the
experiment. Edes leaned forward to arrange
the apparatus in the water, when loud
noise and explosion were heard, and the
two bodies Of the unfortunate men were
seen In the air. The bodies went into the
air some 35 feet, and with them ascended
the debris OF the boat. The workmen en-
ployed on the station waded into the water
as soon as possible and recovered all that
was possible Of the bodies. The class imme-
diately returned to the island, aud an officer
was detailed to go to Narragansett Pier and
break the news to Edes' wife, who had gone
there this morning for a few days. VISIT
She is from Washington. Spaulding, who
was not married, resided In Portsmouth, N.
H. The Coroner's jury brought in verdict
to the effect that Lieutenants Edes and
Spaulding met their death by the accidental
explosion of torpedo, which would not
have happened had they followed instruc-
tions. No one at the torpedo station is to
blame.

FLASHES FROM CHARLESTON.
Anxiety for the Forest City-The
Funeral of Young Lesesne-Fears
for Rice and Sea Island Cotton
Foreign Steamers In Port.

CHARLESTON, s. c., August 30.-The inter
ruption Of telegraphic communication be-
tween Charleston and Savannah, and the
many rumors which were in circulation here
on Monday, caused the most intense anxiety
here as to the fate of the Forest City. When
the train from Savannah reached here on
Monday night there was a large crowd of
people at the depot anxious to hear the
news, and there was an eager demand for
the MORNING News OF Monday, which con-
tanned full account of the ravages of the
gale.
The effects of the storm in Charleston
were not rs disastrous as in Savannah. The
damage to property will probably not ex-
ceed $lO0, 900, and is distributed among a
large number of persons. There were four
lives lost, three negroes and one white
person.
The accidental drowning of Mr.. Thomas
2, Lesesne cast a gloom over the entire
community. He was the youngest son OF
eX-ChancellOr Ii. d. Lesesne, and was a
very popular young man. His body was
discovered this morning in the marsh on
the James Island shore, ard was inferred
this afternoon. The funeral services were
beIu at oG. fnil1lps Cnurcn, blShop MOVIE
officiating, and were attended by an i'm
mense crowd of people, white and eolored.
Aivices from the coast indicate the almost
total destruction of the rice crop by the
high tides, and the very serious injury Of
the sea island cotton crop.
Two foreign steamships, the Royal Min
strel and the Sparta, have arrived here to
load with cotton for foreign ports. They
are chartered to clear on the 10th of Sep
tember, and, although cotton is coming in
as rapidly as could be expected, some doubts
are entertained of the ability OF the agents
to load the vessels by that day.

The New York stock Market.

NEW YORK, August 3O.-The stock mar
ket opened strong and higher, but in the
early dealings speculation was irregular.
At the first board the entire list took an
upward turn, and an advance ranging from
4 to % per cent. took place, the latter in
Colorado coal, Denver and Rio Grande,
Ohio Central, Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, Louisville and Nashville,
Metropolitan Elevated, and Union
Pacific being also prominent therein.
The higher range of quotations was
not, however, maintained, and during the
afternoon prices declined steadily, and the
late dealings showed decline Of to 2&
per cent, the latter In Denver and Rio
Grsnde and Colorado Coal, Texas Pacific,
Missouri Pacific, Reading, New Jersey Cen
tral and Louisville and Nashville being also
conspicuous in the depression. New York
Elevated was notably strong and sold up ~
per cent. to 1919, but reacted per cent. at
the close. In few instances prices showed
a slight recovery from the late decline.
Sales aggregated 34S, $50 shares.

GOOD Advice from a Leading Medf-
cal Professor.

The learned doctor says: ''Keep some
kind OF a tonic medicine always in the
house, and If anyone feels unwell, make
free use of it. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations; their use
will lead to iutemperanee; neither be partial
to any remedy that produces a severe cathar-
tic effect, for prostration Of the nervous
system and digestive organs is sure to fol-
low. The mildest and best medicine ever
invented for Strengthening every part of
the body ard restoring impaired or lost Or
gauic functions TO their normal condition,
and one which is having an unparalleled
aud rapidly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Browns Iron Bitters. Any drug
gist will procure it for you If you request
him to do so, especially when he finds you
cannot be persuaded TO take some substi-
tute. 1t does not contain alcohol, and Is
the only preparation Of Iron that cures
headache and does not blaeken the teeth
1t is sure TeYiVer, g true strcngthener, and
the very best medicine ever invented for
permanently strengthening the pulmonary,
urinary aud digestive organs, and prevent
ing consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these dis
eases when all other remedies have failed,
for it is truly natures best assistant. =
