EAU CLAIRE, Wis, July l5.-The
trial of the salvation army people ended
this morning in a disagreement of the
jury. Nine members of Gen. Booth s
followers-6ve women and four mem
were arrested and put on trial yesterday
for violating a city ordinance in parading
the streets. The ordinance provides
against performances tending to draw a
GROVE which blockades a street. The de-
tense was that the parade was a religious
advertisement. intended only to draw a
crowd at the army's barracks. The jury
reported a disagreement at 1:30 this
morning. The trial. which lasted from
morning to midnight yesterday, created
great interest and was attended by a large
crowd. The sympathy of most church
people is with the army and was shown
by visits at the jail BY some OF the most
prominent society ladies. Leading bust
ness men have also taken up the army's
cause and were present in court. The
salvationists were released on parole pend
ing a new trial.

New ORLEANS, July l5.-The report
that Grover Cleveland has been employed
to look after the law end of the lottery
question has nothing more to back it than
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland is the pri-
vate attorney of John A. Morris in New
York in matters not affecting the lottery
interest. Whether the lottery question
can be got into the United States gu
preme court on an appeal from the su-
preme court of the state is p%roblemati-
cal. One plan is to mandamus the Sec
Rotary of state to compel him to pro-
mulgate the proposed constitutional
amendment An appeal would be to
the supreme court of the state, and
then to the supreme court of the United
states, with a promise of litigation in
terminable. The next state election here
takes place in April, 1892, and the pro-
posed amendments must he promulgated
in every parish in the state for three
months preceding the election. The cleo
ton would hardly be suspended pending
appeals to higher courts.

BrRMINaHAM, Ala. July ia brutal
and probably fatal assault was made yes.
terdOy on the l2-year-old daughter OF
Reuben Rowe, a farmer. living twenty
miles from this city. The assault was
made by Charles johnson, a negro em-
ployed on Mr.. Rowe's farm. The family
were all away from the house except the
little girl. The negro took advantage oil
the situation, entered the girls room,
and, after locking the door on the inside.
attempted to outrage her. She struggled
desperately. and the negro struck her
several terrible blows in the face and then
choked her until she was Insensible. The
girls screams had been heard by a neigh
Dor, and at the sound of approaching
footsteps the negro leaped through .
window and escaped. All the white men
in the neighborhood are searching for
him, and if captured he will be lynched.
The girl is badly injured. and is not ex-
pectei to live.

The Delmo brothers, trapeze perform
ers, met with a painful and perhaps fatal
accident during their exhibition at the
Gem theatre at FL Paso. Both Of the
gymnasts, George and William, were on
a trapeze twenty-five feet above the
stage. William had his legs hooked over
the bar, with his head hanging down.
In his mouth he had a leather strap,
which was fastened to a belt around his
brothers waist. In this suspended atti-
tude George was being spun around like
a top by a movement of Williams head,
and at the same time the trapeze was
made to swing with great velocity.
Some extra force, supposed to be the re-
suit of m of the belt rings getting
caught, wrenched several teeth from
Williams mouth and thereby precipitat-
ed Georges body to the floor. He lay
there stark and motionless, and the au-
dience believed him dead. After being
taken home he recovered consciousness,
but has not since been able to walk. The
physicians, who nave made a careful ex-
animation, believe he is internally in
jured. William Delmo is also confined
with a raging fever.-Cor. st. Louis

at is thoroughly understood now"
said a well known physician, that
nervousness and fright have as much to
do with precipitating evil effects from
dog bite as the actual poison itself. As
tho dog season approaches nervous peo-

called a reign of terror on the general
subject of rabies. In my practice 1 have
known of men 81 women who were al
most on the T-.ge of hysteria from a
trifing scratch or bite from a pet poodle,
and in at least two instances l have
known serious trouble to result from
this species of fright. More dog bitten
people have died from imagination than
from the rabies, you know, and the dire
outcome of sensationalism on the subject
is toward an increase in the number of

PITTsBURG, July IA raid which
was made Friday night BY the Allegheny
police on a Chinese laundry at PAS Fed
eral street. in that city, resulted in a rich
haul being made, and one that gave the
police much surprise. The officers sur
rounded the resort named and burst in
the doors. AS they forced their way in
screams were heard and a white girl but
partially dressed tried to get out of the
back door, only to be met by the burly
means OF escape the police arrested the
entire party. Besides the girl mentioned
another pretty young lady and three lep
rous looking Mongolians, all in various
stages of undress. were captured. About
the room pipes were strewn and opium
fumes filled the air. Both the girls were
at once recognized by the raiders. une of
them being a daughter of a leading iron
man. She is engaged to marry a young
oil broker of this city. The other one is
also well known in society circles. The
entire party were escorted to the mayors
office. There they refused to give their
right names The Cinnamon gave their
names as King Lee, All Lee and Charles
Gun. As thev appeared in court the
girls were handsomely arrayed in fashion

of age, and the other %. King Lee was
fined s25 and costs, All Lee and Charles
Gun IS and costs aud each OF the girls

but the women did no have the cash
needed to secure their freedom, and are
still in the bastile. They are ashamed to
send for their friends and have put in the
entire day weeping. II they do not mus

have to go to the county work house for
thirty days. Chief Murphy, however.
says he will send for their parents.

Dixon Finds no Match.

NEW YoRK. July l5.-Among the
passengers that arrived by the steamship
Etruria on Saturday night was Tom
O'Rourke. the hacker and trainer of
George Dixon. He was very enthusiastic
over the treatment he and his friends
had received at the hands Of the mem
bers of the Pelican club. Why" he
said. they are the finest lot of sporting
men | ever met 10 my life. No one could
have been received with more con-
sidera'ion than Dixon was. As regards
the Pelican clubs offer of a large purse for
Cal McCartey to battle with Dixon, all l
can say is that it is news 10 me. When
l LETT London a week ago / was asked if |
thought Mccarthy would fight any of
their eight-stone men if sufficient in
ducement was offered. | replied that |
was ~unaquainted with MCCARTHY, but / was
OF the opinion that he was in the business
for money and would be glad to get a
chance. Neither Dixon nor myself was
asked If we were willing to meet Mccarthy
over there. They want heavy weights, not
feather or bantam weights. There is nc
man Of Dixon's weight in England that
would match against him Just now. After
a brief starring tour Dixon will return
probably in the course OF a month.

laid out in an empty store room, and to
this place of death came mourning friends
to claim their dead or look in vain for the

All many hearthstones but one or two sur
vivors Of the family awaited the coming
of the mortal clay Of their loved ones.
This is a day of funerals, nearly all of the
bodies yet recovered being carried to

farewell and consolation are being spoken,
and the falling earth as it strikes the cot

powder Explode.
Careless Switching the Cause
of the Disaster.
Ten Persons Killed and Twenty
or Thirty Injured.
A Cartridge Factory Takes
Fire and Burns Down.
Particulars of the Lake City,
Mimi, Calamity.

CINCINNATI, July ia terrible ex-
plosion occurred late this afternoon at
Kings powder mill, on the LIttle Miami
railway. twenty-nine miles east of this
city. Ten persons were killed and twenty
or thirty seriously injured. Two empty
freight cars were being rolled into a side
track where a car containing 500 kegs of
powder was standing. As the car struck
there was an explosion and Immediately
after another car containing 800 kegs of
gunpowder exploded. making thirteen
hundred kegs altogether. VIM. Frauley,
a brakeman, was standing on one OF the
empties when the explosion occurred. No
trace of his body has been found. Five
other persons, supposed to be employees
of the powder company, were killed.
The King Powder company and Peters
cartridge works have buildings on both
sides OF the river along the railroad. The
explosion occurred on the south side and
the destruction was enormous. There are
a number OF cottages occupied by the
workmen for the powder company and
situated close to the track. These we're
shattered BY the explosion and their in
mates injured. Twelve or fifteen girls at
work IN the cartridge factory were Grip
pied by the explosion, The railway
freight house belonging to the Little Mi
ami railroad, together with adjacent
buildings, were set on fire and totally
consumed. The tracks and ties Of
the railroad are torn up and a great hole
ploughed in the ground. The Peters
cartridge factory was burned to the
ground and nothing but a mass Of black
ened and smouldering ruins remains to
mark the spot where the building stood.
As soon as the news reached this city a
relief train was dispatched to the scene of
the disaster with Superintendent Peters
and a large party OF surgeons on board.
and relief was afforded the sufferers as
soon as possible. The work of searching
for the missing and caring for the
wounded Is now progressing.
The force of the explosion demolished
all the wires in the vicinity and it was
impossible to get any news from there
until midnight, when the delayed Pm
handle train arrived. Even then
the passengers could not say much as ev-
ervthing about Kings mills was in a too
demoralized condition when they left to
learn much about the actual state of af-
fairs. They described the scene in the
vicinity of the explosion as awful
Fences, trees and buildings Tor hundreds
of feet in all directions from the explosion
were wrecked. The Peters cartridge fac
tory vas literally demolished by the ex-
plosion and the fire from its combustible
contents completed the work of destruc-
ton. About thirty girls are thought to
have been at work in the factory Mt the
time Of the explosion and most Of them
are thought to be badly hurt. Passen
gers who arrived on the train say ten
persons were killed and that it is posi-
BILE more bodies are in the debris.

The charge

suggestion. The charge against
tie crew probably originated in the be-
hayior of some Of the drunken male pas
sengers on the barge. Seeing the severity
of the storm, the captain wished those
who were on the barge at the mercy of
the wind, rain and hail to seek refuge IN
the cabin, but later he considered the
barge the safer place and ordered the
and children to remove there.
HIS order miscarried. or at least such
seems to have been the case.
Lawyer Greer Of Lake CITY believed
that If the people had known that part of
the lake many could have escaped, and
cites the experience of Harry Mabey.
Young Mabey was on board the Sea Wing
and when she drifted around below the
point she grounded for a short time on a
bar. Knowing the water there was shall
low he jumped overheard and reached the
bank easily. From that bar the steamer
drifted along the shore, keeping about
forty or fifty yards out. ALI along the
bottom slopes very gradually down. so that
nearly all could have esca ped to the shore
had they known this fact.

A Trotter,. wonderful Performance.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 15.-About two
years ago the Buffalo mare. Belle Hamlin,
startled the horse world by ~trotting a half
mile over the Buffalo track in l:02i, a
2 :04i gait. Yesterday she trotted an
eighth in l4s seconds. at the rate of 293
for a quarter, and a l SO gait, though NO
horse could carry that clip further than
an eighth. She was driven by W. j.
Andrews. who gave her head and allowed
her 10 go as fast as she wanted to, and
without the least urging or touch of the
whip. This was never equalled by any
trotting horse.

LAKE CRY, July 15.-The lake shore
was made to reyerberate this morning
with the thunder of dynamite which was
brought into requisition in the hope
that it would be of help in bringing
some of the as yet un~recoyered bodies
to the surface. The country people who
drove in from all dire ctions Yesterday
were again on hand and residents were
also there at an early hour watching the
workers. The military guard was kept
up all night at the beach, and they
kept back the spectators today as they
had doue yesterday. The smiling sky
in no way reminded one of the great
horror that had come upon this whole
section of the state.
Nothing new developed along the lake
shore. no bodies having been recovered
up to noon. 1t is probable that no
more bodies will be found for two or
three days, and the hope at Lake City
is that not over a dozen more are in
the lake, but at Red Wing the number
is placed at two or three times that
number.
Capt. Wetheren, who has not been
seen here since yesterday noon, told a
citizen OF Red Wing that the number on
board at the time of the disaster would
not exceed 10. A Red Wing man de-
MED the CAPTAINS figures as over thirty
below the truth and accused both the
captain and crew of being drunk and unfit
to have charge of a boat at such a time.
There is no proof of such a state OF
affairs. There were those on the barge
among the passengers who had been
drinking and whose actions drove the
women and children to the cabin. This
TACT may be the grodnd for the rumor.
Another rumor that ciused great indigua-
ton accused the captain OF ordering the
cabin door locked and keeping the people
inside. Miss Aggie Barton OF Lake City,
one OF those rescued from the barge, says
all the women and children were ordered
into the cabin from the barge. It would
De natural for the captain to do this, as it
was intensely dark and the rain and hail
made 1t extremely disgreeable to remain
on the barge. On the other hand the en-
glneer SAYS the captain thought the barge
safer than the steamer and sent an order
down to the cabin for the women and
children 60 go on the barge. Instead of
carrying the order correctly the mar told
them to STAY in the cabin and lock the
door, which they did. Previous to that
most of the women lett the barge for the
steamer, telling the engineer a party Of
men on the barge were drunk and had
been acting in an Objectionable manner
and they would not stay there. Whether
these be the facts or not it is certain the
doors were shut, if not locked, when the
rescuers reached the steamer and every
tning indicated that they had been closed
Throughout the gale.
Judge Bayrell of Argyle, who was on
.he boat, gives positive evidence against
.ne charge OF drunkenness. He says the
captain was not only sober but was fully
conscious Of the presence of the storm,
although not fully approaching its grav-
10y. The captain walked through the
cabin quietly trying to calm the excited
passengers, telling them he did not think
mere was any danger. but if any wished
70 10 SO they could put on life pre-.
servers and prepare for the worst
possibility. A few minutes later
ne once more made the same
