Fourth Auditors Report.

WASHINGTON, November 20.-The annual
report of the Fourth Auditor of the
Treasury says that the growing evil in ex-
penditure of money by the Navy Depart
men5 has been increasing. The disregard
by some bureaus of the law requiring ad-
vertisements and contracts for
purchases made, recently discovered fraud
ulent practices in the Naval Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery, were greatly facili-
tated by persistent determination of the
late Surgeon General to nominally make
all purchases himself, while it was practi-
cally impossible for him to personally su
pervise the transactions taking place scores
of hundreds of miles from the seat
of the Government. During the hs-
cal year 1888, supplies were purchased
amounting to s., ,293, ,S53, of which only
1855 1852 were bought upon advertisement
and contract. Three bureaus wholly nag-
lected the law requiring advertising, and
another, the one making the largest
contracted for one per cent. of the goods
and materials bought. About 100000
open and exempt purchases were made of
six individuals of firms, one dealer going
over $500, 900. Under the act pertaining to
materials for boilers, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth have been bought
practically with no competition at all.
Over $4,000 were paid during the year as
commissions to Seligman Bros, of London,
and nearly $1,000 in interest, the former,
as much as it ought to be, and
the latter wholly unnecessary. Thereport
says: "The recently discovered frauds in
the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery were
mostly committed upon the continuous hos
pital fund, whose large unexpended bal
ance has furnished temptation not exist.

Accidents at a IoIIification.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, November 23.-At
Democratic jollifcation last night, sky
rocket struck man named Douglas Nc
nvenny on the chin, and when he was
picked up the rocket-stick was found pro-
truding from the back of his neck. His
chin was almost entirely torn
away, and he will probably die. About
the same time Jimmy Moony was hit
on the chest by rocket, and one of his
lungs burst. He cannot recover. Dan Cum
sley, a boy aged thirteen, was struck on the
thigh and dangerously injured. The physi-
leg Charlie Shaffer, a small boy, was knock
ed down by the crowd and had one of his legs
fractured in two places. A small boy
named Warren was knocked down and had
his right side crushed. His arm and
shoulder were broken and badly crushed.
A man named Black had one foot frac-
tured badly.

One Man Killed and Several Dangerously
Wounded While Firing Salute.

HALsEY VALLEY, N. Y, November H.
A peculiarly sad accident occurred here last
night, by which several young men were
severely injured. One has died. 1t was the
outcome of an attempt to celebrate an oc-
currence which has been the subject of q
great deal of gossip about here. Some
days ago disturbance arose between two
families living close together. The
husbands and wives Of both
families separated. On Friday last
the quarrel was made up and matters went
on as before. A few young men got to-
gether and choose Saturday evening to
! non four times, and the affair adjourned
| until last night. Then they met again,
and three volleys were fred. They were
reloading for the fourth shot, when
the powder in the cannon became
| ignited, a terrific explosion followed, and
when the smoke had cleared away sick
enfng sight was revealed. Ellsworth Kirk,
who had been pounding the wadding in
the cannon, lay with his eyes blown out
| and the blood oozing from his face. He
| was alive, but insensible. Shortly after
| ward he died. Others suffered
the loss of eyes and fingers. The
sufferers were conveyed to their homes,
| and medical aid summoned. The list of
the injured is as follows: Fred Kirk,
brother of Ellsworth, badly burned about
Henry Evlys was badly burned about the
head and body, and his legs were burned
| to crisp; Summer Rosebrooks lost an eye
and finger; Al Winters and Elijah
Bostron were burned about the face and
| neck.

AS BAD AS CHOLERA.
Frightful Ravages Among the People Oh
Southwest Virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, November 20.-
Information from Perryville, Mcdowell
County this State, near the Virginia border,
gives frightful account of the so-called
cholera in the extreme southwestern
counties of Virginia and adjoining terri-
tory in Kentucky. Making every allow
ance for exaggeration, the loss Of life has
already been appalling, while the condi-
tion of the survivors is terrible in the ex.
treme. No rain has fallen in the Cum
berland Mountains, in which the infected
district is situated, for four months, the
drought entailing not only an almost total
failur. of crops, but cutting off the sup
ply of water over wide area. Difficulty
was experienced in obtaining water for.
stock, in some of these localities, as.early in
the year as the middle of August, but no
actual suffering among the in
nabitants hal occurred @ until toward sat
most part failed, the mountaineers were
compelled, in order to sustain life, to OBJ
tain water from what were known as
sspoison" or mineral springs in the motn-.
tains, or from the small amount remaining
in the deep holes in the beds of the
creeks. A persistent use of this water
soon developed peculiar disease, as dead
ly as. Asiatic cholera in its natures
which has ever since ragged with terrible
fatality over half a dozen counties in the
two States of Virginia and Kentucky, the
loss of life thus far being variously esti-
mated at from four hundred to eight hum
dred. Among children and adults well up
in years the mortality has been greatestJ
but no class has been exempt1
In a number of instances, especially
along the forks of McLean's Greek,
q tributary of the Big Sandy, and in the
valley of Powell's River, emptying into the
Tennessee, entire families have persisted,
while in numerous other cases but one or
two members of a household sur
vive. Few recover from the disorder,
from sixty to eighty per cent. of those at
tackled dying. This is being accounted for
by the fact that pure water is still unob-
tainable, and proper food and medical at
tendance can not be had. The drying up
the streams has necessitated the stop
page of numerous small grist mills
along the mountain valleys, and the
population for the most part appears
to be in most abject want and
misery. The locality is almost inaccessible
to the outside world, there being noarail.

but if even half of what is alleged be true

nature, and calls for prompt action by the
authorities and public.

ENCOUNTER WITH WOLVES.
whole Family Perish Inside ofan Hour.


VIENNA, November 21.-A tragic Incl
dent is reported from eastern Hungary. A
clergyman, with his wife and child, were
driving in sledge from Crasnisora
to the neighboring village of Kis-
Lonka, when a pack of ravenous wolves
pursued them. The mother, terror
stricken, let the child fall from her arms.
The father thereupon leaped from the sledge
to save the child. The father and child
were at once fercely attacked by the
wolves. The father fought desperately
and killed two wolves, but was at last
overcome, and both he and his
child were devoured. Meanwhile
the horses had rushed onward
with the sledge, still bearing the agonized
mother, and in her agony of terror she
gave premature birth to child which died.
The terrible shock, with all she had suf-
fered, proved too much for the poor woman
and when the sledge reached Kis-Lonka
she, too, was dead. So the whole family
perished inside an hour.
