Frighttul Accident to Soldiers
Trying q Gun.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1S.-A distressing
accident occurred yesterday afternoon
on the United States Cruiser Phlladel-
phia during the bombardment, which
considerably shortened the sham
battle. The entire starboard compile
ment of guns had been fired without
any hitch. and everything pointed to a
successful trial on the big breech-load-
ers, as we'll as the small siX-pound,
rapid-firing Hotchkiss guns. A lieuten-
ant in charge of twelve men was sue
cessfully maneuvering the after-star-
located in the sponsor, and had
fired three charges from it. The man
ner of firing the rifle is simple IN the eX
treme. A shell is placed in the socket
at the breech, and the breech lever is
turned into position by means of
crank wheels. All is then ready
to fire. The block fits into half
inch threads, making it secure
against any recoii or backward
discharge. When the accident occurred
the men were in position awaiting COM
mand to secure the shell and fire. After
the shell had been in position to fire the
fourth charge an experienced gunner
took the crank handle and was about
to turn it when the shell exploded,
blowing the block Off, and the
entire load from the breech of the
gun. People standing on the Lazaretto
shore could barely discern shreds of
mans clothing clinging to the port rig
glng,. but enough to tell them of the
awful fate of some one. The charge
and portion of the shell entered
the left breast, tearing away the
flesh and shattering the ribs OF
Capt. Martin f. King. Another
gunner standing alongside of him was
badly injured by wadding entering his
neck and the face, tearing away his arm
and mangling him horribly. The pilot
aboard the ship then received orders to
proceed down the river. The Phila-
delphia was soon sailing away, and
though many thought something un-
usual had happened, and attempted to
reach her, no one succeeded. The exact
cause of the premature discharge of the
she'll could not be aScertained last

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1S.-The test of bicv-
Gle as compared with cavalry riders
was made to-day by detachment
of sixteen cycle riders of St.
Louis under orders of Col. Young,
commandant of Jefferson Barracks.
The squad assembled at Jefferson bar
racks at a. M, and were given orders
to proceed to Marine Highlands, fifteen
miles distant, and inspect the Frisco
tunnel there and the two tunels at Bar
net Station. and dispatch men
main body was then to proceed
to Manchester, thirty miles from
the barracks, and leave two men
there to examine the resources of the
town, these men to rejein the main body
and proceed to point forty miles from
the barracks, and then return to Jeffer-
son barracks with all possible speed.
Marine Highlands was reached at 9:45,
and the time spent in inspecting
was one hour. Two men were
then detached and returned to the
barracks. reaching there at 1925. The
rest of the party then proceeded to
Manchester. They found the roads in
fearful condition, most of them being
dirt roads, and walking was frequently
necessary. The main command returned
to the barracks at 6:15 p. m.,
having made the run in 9 hours
and 45 minutes. Two hours
were spent in examining tunnels. The
actual time was hours 45 minutes.
Col. Young pronounced the test COM
plete success. He said that had they
covered the same ground and the same
information with cavalry men it would
have required two days. He will make
full report next week to the secretary

Haverly's MastodOn Minstrels opened
their local engagement at the Bijou
yesterday afternoon to large audience.
The auditorium at the evening perform
ance was packed. Col. Jack" has kept
his promise to present the public with
an old-fashiOned and legitimate
negro minstrel entertainment There
were no farce-comedy special
ties and vaudeville sketches on
yesterdays programme, but Its num-
berS, with single exception. were old
time negro minstrel acts, melodies and
conceits. Kisselrs wonderful famil-
iarity with and manipulation of a mus
ket is so enjoyable the innovation is
desirable. 1t is no reflection upon
Charles Sully to say that Billy Rice is the
bright and particular star of Haverly's
company. There are living but two
minsUrels who can equal him as black
face fun maker-Luke Schoolcraft and
Milt Barlow, and both of them belong
to a school of negro minstrelsy Col.
Haverly is successfully reviving. Mr..
Rice was evidently in a good
the audience uproariously mirthful.
Charles Sully is not only irresist-
IDLY funny, but has splendid
voice and sings unusually well. E. M.
Hall exeells as banjoist, and one of
the features of the entertainment
was the delightful vocalism of
A. NJ. Thatcher. Delmor j. Will
son, Arthur Yule, Fred Bandell and
George Evans contributed largely to the
enjoyment of the opening productions.
"Bill Trovatore," a singing burlesqne
which closes the performance, defies
description. 1t is as eXhilarating as

THE GLORY OF ATHEISM.
1t Is Told at the Lyceunl by Rev.
SampIe


The Lyceum theater was crowded
last night, the occasion being one of the
peoples meetings conducted by Rev. S.
W. Sample. The subject of the rever
ends sermon was 1.-The Glory of Athe-
ISM" During his discourse he said:
II am, so long as have breath in nv
body or blood in my veins, against this
argument by epithets, this calling men
names and this argument of the coward
and the thief. the flinging of mud at a
man who differs from you, and per
chance far in advance of you. If you are
an atheist it is better for you TO be an
atheist and say so than to be an atheist
and not TO say so. Better thou
sand times to doubt Gods existence
and live His law than to disbelieve
His existenee and conceal your
disbelief. There is not great
deal of theoretical atheism in the world
today. There are very many men who
doubt the existence of God, but there
are plenty of practicalists, men who
think God exists, but that is not worth
mindlng. To believe in the depravity of
man is to disbelieve God, for man is
Gods child. and His infinite goodness
could not deprave the child. Practical
atheism is tipsy reasoning, Intoxicating
logic. The center of gravity of atheism
is cynicism. Atheism makes life a tale
told bo an idiot; it is worth nothing"
