Special Tsle0rs,n 60 the Sunday RsgistSr.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va. May 2l.-LaSt
night Orren Harrison was almost cut to
pieces by George Beatty In fight and
to-day be lies in most critical condi-
tion as a result Of his terrible wounds.
The trouble arose out Of an old grudye
originating in fight between Harrison
and Beatty's brother, which occurred
some years ago and in which the latter
got the worst OF it. The two men were
both drinking. Harrison knocked
Beatty down and jumped on
him, using his knife with terrible
effect. None Of the bystanders inter-
ferred. Most OF them say they did not
know that a knife was being used aRd
none OF the police we're present.
The fighs must have lasted two or
three minutes when Sam Wright ran
up and caught Beatty's hand just in
time TO keep him from cutting Harri-
sons throat. The combatants were
then parted. HarrisOh's recovery is yet
uncertain. He received six long cuts
in the shoulder, arm and face, his
cheek and chin being laid open. The
most serious wound and the one from
which most is 20 be feared is deep and
and straight stab in the chest below the
shoulder blade. Beatty was arrested.

ShecldI TELEGRAM 10 the Sunday Regisisr:
COLUMBUS, o., May 21.-Investigation
to discover the source of the great Conk-
ling letter has brought to light facts
that !ndlcate that the letter is not gen.
uine.
''The original copy is not here, nor is
il known where it is, said a gentleman
to-day who claims TO have known that
such letter was about to be sprung for
some weeks. THE copy given to the
press came from an obscure colored man
in this city, but l am snre he was used
merely to conceal the real exploiters Of
the letter. l am told that the letter
has this history:
Several months ago prominent
New York Republican, an admirer Of
Conkling and Grant, was engaged in a
political discussion in the Office of an
Ohio official with several gentlemen.
Grants third term attempt was brought
up. The New Yorker defended him,
and when the discussion waxed warm
he drew this letter from his pocket
and read it, He then placed it
back in his pocket and
asked that nothing be said
about it. A stenographer at work in
the office, however, took notes OF it,
and it is from his notes that the letter
has been produced"
The gentleman said he knew the
name of the man who has this steno-
graphic copy, but not the name Of the
New York man who had the original
letter.

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION.
A Factory For the Manufacture of Pyro-

List OF Killed and Injured.

A Factory For the Manufacture OF fyro-
terhnics Lets Go at Hartford, Conn
List OF Killed and Injured.
HARTFORD, CONN, May 2l.-At 4:35
this afternoon the factory of the Ktna
Pyrotechnic Co., on Mechanic street,
blew up with tremendous noise, which
shook the city and was heard some
miles in the country. The contents OF
the building flew high in the air, and
papers drifted off mile or so from the
scene.
]. L. B. Slbley, a well-known Hart
ford citizen and member of the Hartford
Club, connected with the Etna Pyro-
technic Company, was at the works
paying off the men. His was the first
body taken out Of the wreck.
He was dead. apparently killed in
stantly. Emma Tarbox, Emma Tre-
gunza, widow, and Maggie Capen,
employees, were found dead in the ruins,
recognizable only by their clothing.
They were feariully blackened.
George Zinsoth and one woman en-
ployed there are missing but will proba-
bly, be found in the ruins later.
A large force of firemen and police
assembled at once. The building was
fired by the explosion but the flames
were soon under control and the men
set to work removing distractions TO
get at the victims.
George Stevens, Rose Harvey, Kittie
Golden and Minnie Taylor were rescued
alive. Stevens is badly hurt and was
taken to the hospital.
James Berry, the engineer, left the
building moment before the eXplosian,
going into a connecting factory to ask
what time it was. As he turned to go
back the crash came. His life was
saved by this circumstance. The COM
pany made red and blue fire and it was
not generally supposed that the place
was dangerous. They have been run
ming for eight years.
BY direction of Mayor Hyde electric
lights were rugged so that the work Of
recovery could 60 on at night. The ex-
plosion broke the windows in all build
ings thereaoouts and drew to the scene
an immense crowd OF people. Nothing
has occurred here since the Park Cen
tral disaster to arouse the community.
A revised list Of the dead and injured
is as follows:
Those injured, but not seriously, are
George E. Stevens, employed by the
company as drummer. Miss Kittie Col
den, of No. 80 Mechanic street; Miss
Rose Harvey, of Cottage Grove, Bloom.
field: Miss Minnie Taylor, daughter Of
A. w. Taylor, No. 55 Windsor street.
-Four dead bodies were taken from
the ruines: John L. B. Sibley, who
lived at the Sigourney House, No. 554
Main street; Mrs. Emma Traganza,
No 81 Chapel street, forewoman of the
factory. Miss Maggiet Capen, of Cot
tage Grove, Bloomfield. Miss Emma
Tarbox, daughter of Charles Tarbox,
No. Union street.
The other person in the building at
the time, George Zinsroth, OF Cottage
Grove, is undoubtedly still in the ruins.

SPECIAL Telegram 10 the Sunday Rs0istr.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 9l.-The
result OF the Democratic primary dis
trict convention is as follows: Anderson,
13; Wilson, 20. This was not unex-
pected. Mr.. Anderson was here and
said that It was understood by the
friends who stuck to him that he did
not attempt to carry the city or county,
because he did not need to do so, and he
did not think Il good policy.
Gov. Wilson and his friends made des-
perate efforts to carry the city and
county and the Governor himself stood
at the polls during the day.
Fayette and Kauawha have 80 votes.
Fayette instructed for Wilson in 1890.
Now the vote is equally divided between
him and Anderson so that Anderson
needed only II votes out OF Kanawha
to give him him as many votes in the
two counties as he had in 80.
The nomination is assured. The city
of Charleston voted: Anderson, $50;
Wilson, $40.
