Frigbtful Accident

New YORK, Sept. PA terrible
accident occurred shortly after 8
O'Clock this morning at Castle Will
lam. Governors Island, during a
reply to the salute of the French gun
boat Minerve, which arrived here at a
late hour last night. About ten
rounds had been fired, when the first
gun III the embrasure prematurely
exploded while the gunners were
ramming home the charge for the
next round. The third gun also
simultaneously exploded.
Private Mahy, OF Battery H. who
was standing directly in front OF the
first gun, was instantly killed, and
Private Whelam, of Battery A, was
frightfully injured. His right arm
was blown OFF and bis right leg and
body were horribly burned. He will
not recover.
Private Chenniss, Of Battery A has
his right forearm torn oil, and Prl-
vate Sidner, of Battery A, has his
left hand blown off.
Corporal Grace, of Battery a, and
Corporal Irving, of Battery II, were
also slightly injured.
Firing was Immediately suspended
and surgeons hastily summoned, ana
the wounded received prompt attend
ance. The dead body and the limbs
of the wounded We're quickly gath
cred together and removed and the
wounded conveyed to the hospital on
stretchers. The scene on the arrival
of the doctors was a sad one. Strong
men shed tears as they carried the
dead body of their late comrade
away.
Accounts differ as to the real cause
of theaccident, but the general opin-
ion is that the premature discharges
were occasioned by sparks from the
other guns beirg blown back by the
strong wind into the embrasures.
No blame Is attached TO the gun
ners.

Covington. Ky, Thomas Dodd was
shot dead at eleven o'clock last
night, while standing in the door
way of his own residence with his
young wife, whom he had married
on last Sunday. Two shots were
fired at him by a hlan who was
standing with a woman companion
on the sidewalk. The evidence
points to Edward Welsh as the per-
petrator Of the murder. Welsh is the
father Of a girl with whom Dodd's
relations had been such that his pa
rents desired him to marry here
Mrs. Welsh has been arrested and
admits that her husband fired the
fatal shots. The officers in Coving-
ton are confident that they viii soon

The BAD and Worthless

Are never initiated or counter teited.
This Is especially true OF a family
medicine, and it Is positive proof
that the remedy initiated is OF the
highest value. As soon as it had
been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Bitters was the pur-
est. best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and peo-
pie Of the country had expressed
the merits of II. B., and in every
way trying TO induce suffering inva-
lids TO use their stuff instead, ex-
pecting to make money on the credit
and good name Of II. 3. Many
Others started nostrums put up in
similar style to IL. B., with various
~ devised names in which the word
Hop or Hops were used in a
way to induce people to believe they
We're the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, and especially those with the
word Hop or Hops III their
name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations
or counterfeits. Beware OF them.
Touch none Of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a
bunch or cluster of green Hops or
the white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations OF
counterfeits.

Explosion of am Ammunitiog Train.

LoNDoN, Sept. 29.-Ihe Daily Tel

RUG to the explosion Of an ammuni-
ton train there yesterday, says; a
train from Benha had arrived with
the Sixtieth Rifles, when an ammu-
milton wagon in the station exploded,
killing a doctor who was on the tram
with some invalids and some men,
the number of whom is unknown.
The train was ignited and the fire
spread to the railroad depot, which
was quickly burned. The flames
next reached the commissariat depot
adjoining, and thence extended to
some of our magazines, which ex
pioded.
The fire has spread 50 rapidly that
it is hopeless to expect that anything
of consequence will be saved. 4

has not yet exploded, and renders
an approach perilous. The whole of

THE ONE-LEGGED HERO.

The tongue Of SANDER or the lips
of malice cannot rob General Beaver
of his well-won laurels. Courageous
as a soldier, he offered his brave
young life to his country in her
hour of trial and when the conflict
was over and the threatening clouds
were lifted he returned manned and
mangled from the jaws of death to
illustrate by a singularly pure and
upright life the virtues of true man-
hood. Is it a crime that such a man
may aspire to the highest honor in
the State, and must he walk forever
in obscurity because Senator Cam
eron or any other prominent repub-
lican may prefer him for a position
and the majority of his party with
degree of unanimity and earnest
ness that even the Independent ora
tors could not attack or impeach
prior to the convention, saw fit to
put him forward as their choice for
Governor of this great common
wealth q? The tongue that acuses such
a man Of perfdy is itself perfdious.
His blameless life is the best answer
to all his slanderers. Heis no mans
tool. and in point of personal Inde-
pendence and integrity.we do not
think he can be matched even in
the ranks of the independent Re
publicans. Cheap and fiippant ac-
cusatioDs that have long since been
exploded may for time distract the
judgments of men who should be
numbered among his friends. hut
they ought not be permitted to work
him a serious wrong even in the
fiery ardor of a political campaign.

right men who become candidates
for office, and as they worked their
worst in the case of Garfield, 80 they
are now trying to besmirch Beaver.
1t Is unnecessary to 90 into detail 20

I powerful example oi the extremes

justice because of the eloquent false
hoods flung at him in the present
fight.
So far as the Democratic candidate
for Governor is concerned he Is a
mere STRIPPING who has luxuriated
in office ever since he cast his first
vote. He knows nothing of life's
fierce conflicts. and is merely a fig
