JOHN KELLEY. Secretary.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1890-06-25

In 1882 he became an officer on the gen.
eral staff, and in 1885, having reached
the rank of captain, he went to Con-
s~tantinople, and remained there some
time, acting as military adviser to the
Turkish officers. In 1889 he returned
to Berlin. He continued to be adj
vanced in his rank on the staff, in 1858
reaching the rank of general.
He took a prominent part in
the Schleswig-Holstein war in 1864.
The plan Of the campaign
of the short and brilliant war of 1866
with Austria was his work, and the
great battles Of Koniggratz and Sadowa
were fought under his direction. After
the latter battle he negotiated the truce
and the peace prelilninaries. The
promptness with which the Prussian
army took the field after the French
declaration Of war in 1870 was direct
ly due to Moltke's skill in organiza-
ton, and its great success to his stategic
ability. After the close of the war
Moltke was made a field-marshal, and
received the title and dignity of count.
In 1872 he was made a life member of
the Upper House in the German Reich
stag. In this assembly he is known as
"the great silent one," but he has
spoken several times with much effect
on military affairs and against the So
cialiStS.

This is the first time the Uniformed
knights will go into camp, but all posi-
bile pains have been taken to render
this novel experience attended with as
few inconvenience as possible. The
camp grounds are divided into six large
blocks; on the two western blocks hos
pital tents will be erected to provide
for emergencies. The tents of the
brigade and regimental officers will form
the front line, facing on Highland Boule-
ward. Back of these the division Off
GERS will be located, and behind them
will stand the tents of the Sir Knights.
There will be sixteen .brigades, consist

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, June 81.
1t is but two weeks before immense
numbers of men will again crowd into
the streets and squares of Milwaukee as
they did in the days of 1889, when the
national encampment ofthe Grand Army
of the Republic took place.
The details of the programme for the
entertainment of the guests that will
visit the conclave of the Knights of
Pythias have well-nigh been completed,
and the committee feel confident that
they have done all they could to make
the strangers enjoy themselves.
People in the city do not vet all re-
alize how large an affair the coming con-
ciave is going to be. 1t is but natural to
compare this event with the G.. A. r.
Encampment of last summer, and it is
said by members of the executive coun-
Gil that the attendance will in
no case be less than it was then.
Especially must it be. remembered
that for more of the members will be
accompanied by their families. The
majority of the Knights are pretty we'll
off financially, while among the vet
Grams were comparatively more to
whom the cost of a trip to Milwaukee
was a point of great Importance. 1t

TUG BLOWN TO ATOMS.
An Explosion at Brooklyn Wrecks Two
Vessels and Kills Four Men.

New York, June pa terrible ex-
rloeion occurred early this morning i'll
Brooklyn, by which four lives were
lost. The tug Alice +. Crue,
which had been moored at the
foot of Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn,
was blown to pieces at her dock by the
explosion of the boiler. The aus Of
the disaster is not known. The boat is
a complete wreck. Asleep on the tug
at the time were Capt. Oscar w. Squires,
George Rogers, the cook, and a deck
hand whose name is not known. They
were killed outright. The fire.
nan had evidently attempted
to get up steam, and for some
unexplained reason, probably a defect
in the boiler, the explosion occurred.
He is supposed to have been killed
also, for he is missing. Neither Bailey,
deckhand, of 100 Richard Street, re-
ceived a lacerated wound of the
hand and was scalded. The
ballast scow Lime Rock, which
was lying alongside the tug, had her
side torn out and went to the bottom.
1t is supposed that the Waterman on
board, whose name is not known, went
down with her. The report of the ex-
plosion was heard a long distance, and
brought crowds Of people to the scene.

on Monday. The two children were
playing with the dangerous weapon, and
the muzzle of the gun was hardly a foot
away from the victim when the accident
occurred.
GEORGE N. WoRDEN, whose divorce
suit at Madison was recently given pub

of Chicago.

strangers. But on account of that 1t is
not necessary to conceal the fact that
the conclave will be of greater benefit
to the city, from a financial point OF
view. than any similar event that ever
occurred here"
Tents to the number of $500 have
been provided to receive the Knights OF
the Uniform Rank in the camp at Cold
Spring. Each tent will hold four men,
so that 1000 persons could easily be
accommodated. 1t is expected that
1900 is the very lowest limit at which
the attendance of Uniformed Knights
is estimated. Possibly there will be
Il 5000 or more. Cash drill prizes aggre-
eating 81, 800 have been offered to COM
peting divisions, of which there will be
not less than fifty. OF music, especial
" of brass bands, there will be no lack.
Prizes amounting to $500 will be award
ed to competing bands at a big concert
to be held at Schlitz Park on Wednes-
day evening during the conclave week.
On Friday evening there is to be another
monster concert, in which all the bands
will Join. There will be nearly a thousand
instruments, under the direction of [.
Z. Brooke, of Minneapolis. The anvil
chorus from the Trovatore will be given
with an accompaniment oftwenty anvils,
and the darkened auditorium will be

II o'clock this forenoon a fire broke out
in the Kings County penitentiary. 1t
was discovered in the work
shops, and progressed rapidly, ex-
tending to the main building.
Three alarms were sent out, and de-
tachments of police have been sent to
the cen The convicts are said to be
under control and discipline. The cause
OF the outbreak is not at present known.
The fire was in the attic of the three
story building used as the Workshop.
AT the time about 400 convicts, men and
women, were employed in and around
the shop. As soon as the fire signal was
sounded the prisoners were marched
ont of the building and locked up in
their cells. There was no excitement
or any attempt at outbreak. The fire
burned off the roof and the top story,
causing a loss to the county Of about
$4,000. The loss sustained by the diff
ferent firms who contract for the prison
labor will be about S25 900.

women and children mingled with the
cracking of timbers and the yells of

platform created a scene of confusion

thirty people were bruised, scratched
