menting with torpedoes. Both officers were
in the inner harbor in a torpedo launch, and
were putting torpedo in position in order to
exhibit an experiment to Admiral Porter,
who has been here several dayF 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 tor
pedo was planted in about three fathoms of
water. Near by was steam launch with the
remainder of the class under instruction on
board. Admiral Porter, Commander Sell
fridge and the officers Of the Government
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 ap-
paratus in the water, when loud noise
and explosion was heard, and the bodies
of the unfortunate men were seen in the air.
1t was terrible sight. Admiral Porter and
the classmates of the officers stood appalled,
at the sight of the bodies. which had been
literally blown to fragments. They went up
ia the air some thirty-fve feet, and with them
assembled the debris Of the boat which they
had employed
The workmen on the station waded into
the water as soon as they could and recovered
all that was possible OF the bodies Edes

two. Spaulding's feet were blown off, and

island, and an officer was detailed to go
to Narragansett pier to break the news to
Edes' wife, who had gone there in the morn
ing for few days visit. She had resided
here all summer with her husband and two
children. She belongs in Washington.
Spaulding, who was unmarried, resided in
Portsmouth, \. FL.
The Coroner's jury brought in verdict to
the effect that Edes and Spaulding met their
death by the accidental explosion Of tor
pedo, which would not have happened had
they followed their instru ;tions. No one
at the torpedo station is to blame.
This exculpates Lieutenant Caldwell, one
of the instructors, who, in doing his duty
in closing the circuit, made possible the acci-
dent, for Edes depended upon keeping this
circuit open, though he failed to inform Cald-
well of his intentions. The remains will be
forwarded to their respective destinations at
once. Both men had just been detached
from active service.
