Struck by a Shaft.

An aged citizen of Parsons was
killed Saturday afternoon while cross
ing street in that city. He was
about midway the street when he was
struck by a shaft of a buggy. The
shaft struck him in the temple, and
penetrated the brain, killing him i'll
stantly. A number of men, who saw
the approaching vehicle, called to the
victim to be on the lookout, but it
was too late, for by the time their
cries had been uttered he had been
struck down.

Before Sailing for Europe He
Sounds Warning Note.
The Famous Missourian ex-
plains His Open Letter to
Secretary Carlisle.
Financial Situation Demands
Heroic Treatment-Copper
as Serviceable a Me-
dunn of Exchange
as Silver.

New YORK, July 20.-The Time,
prints an interview with Senator Hen.
derson, of Missouri, Just before he
sailed yesterday for Europe to meet
his family and spend L vacation.
Il look, said he, for 1.-THE uncondi-
tional repeal OF the purchasing clause
of the Sherman silver law within a
month after the assembling of an ex-
ira session of congress. The silver
men perceive a revolution in public
mind upon this subject, and, however
eager or ardent they may be in the
behalf of silver, it is my judgement
that in hope of making some sort of a
compromise that will leave them no
worse off than now, they will consent
TO the repeal of this clause of the pres
eDt law"
Speaking OF the now famous letter
written by himself to Secretary Car
isle at the beginning of the present
month, the senator said {:
my purpose in writing the letter
to Secretary Carlisle was to issue a
warning against any compromise upon
this question"
Continuing, the senator said: at
is utter nonsense for Colorado or any
other state to attribute good times in
this country to silver. because the gov
eminent of the United States never
coined silver in any amount until
1873. 1t makes no difference
what the form of depreciation
the same evils will come about
if the government maintains two cur
rencies, deprecated currency will
stick and the good will leave. A de-
preciated currency was the cause of
the panic in 81, and other panics may
be traced to the disposition of the
government or of the people to tritle
with the laws of trade that are stern
and that insist upon a normal enforce
ment. noticed that the comment
varied with reference to remedie-
proposed in my letter for the relief of
the financial situation. There is pa
Use denying they are heroic reme-
dies. 1t still seems to be
case which demands heroic treatment.
If we try to do something now which
shall merely hold the patient up with
out providing permanent cure, we
shall find the disease returning again
in a virulent form, and perhaps then
even stronger remedies may be re-
.auired to deal with it. In my opinion
it would be better for congress to
make legal tender of copper than
silver. Copper certainly is less vari-
able in value There is no metal
whose value huctuates so violently as
silver. Since the deposit of the bull
ion began and the issue of bullion GER
titicates, silver has ranked in specula-
ton with industriaIs. We surely can
not afford to continue metal of such
variable value as the money of our
country"

THE CROPS.
The Crop Bulletin is Not an En-.
couraging One.

COLUMBIA, No., July 1S.-The
crop bulletin of the Missouri board of
agriculture tor the past week says OF
wheat: Much OF the grain is filled
badly, kernels small and shrunken
and the general quality will fall
further below the average than pre-
viously reported. Rust is bad all over
the state and many farmers have
turned hogs into their fields The
farmers predict moderate wheat
movement from first threshing. Oats
look well and promise good yield.
Corn is in splendid condition and in
,ications for big crop never better.

A reporter OF The BAzoo, thinking
the letter an item of news and desiring
to see the person spoken of, repaired
at once to the above number and, rap
ping at the door, was answered by an
elderly lady, and the following Wa
learned
Mrs. Thorp had lived at the above
number until October last, then moved
out of the city, but where, the lady
refused to tell. She stated that she
was a lady whose character was above
reproach, and also that the trouble
between the husband and wife was
caused by whiskey. She stated that
she knew them both well, and that
but for whiskey they might to-day
be living together as man and wife,
and happily. As to whether
Mrs. Thorp secured a divorce in this
city or not is not known. If so the

ure WAS caused by Mr.. Pidcock overreaching
himself in attempting to acquire enormous

attempted to control too much and Overreachcd
himself. For many years he has been the
acknowledged boss of the Democratic party in
the Fourth Congressional District of New Jer-

This has made him more enemies than friends.

in person, and galopng up to where it was
in line, said: Boys, pile your knapsacks, fix
bayonets, and charge those works."
Deployed in two lines, and led by Gen. Baird
and Col Este, the brigade bravely advanced to
the charge. The enemy was screened by breast
high wall of earth and logs, concealed within
a belt of woods, and covered by an entangle-
ment of fallen trees. in front of which was a
smooth open space 100 yards wde swept by a
fire of both artillery and musketry that the
men had to cross They did this without stop
ping TO return the fire they were exposed to,
and passed over and captured the works and all
who were in them, killing a number of the
enemy with the bayOnet and taking many
prisoners. 1t was, on our part fight with the
bayonet, and was complete success. Gen.
Baird afterward procured medals for several
soldiers who had been conspicuous IN the use
of that weapon. To show the severity Of the
struggle which did not last more than 80 min
utes, the brigade carried into the charge LOO
men, and it lost $50 in killed and wounded.
Gen. Baird had two horses shot under him
within period of five minutes, and his Aid was
shot in the arm.
The strength Of the enemy was numerically
greater than ours, and his men were the best
tried soldiers of the Confederacy, yet we cap

SUCCESSFUL ARMOR TESTS.
They Show the United States Can Make tn,
Cheapest and Best Plates.


Cheapest and Best Plates.
The test of the niekel-steel armor-plates for
the cruiser Indiana made at the proving
grounds at Indian Head July 12, was highly
successful, demonstrating the fact that this
country can make the best and cheapest armor-
plates in the world. Those present were Sec
rotary of the Navy Herbert, representatives of
the Carnegie Company and Bethlehem Iron and
Steel Company; Capt. Ord Brown, the English
expert; M. Bouvard, of the Cruzot Works,
France; Congressman Mayer, of Louisiana !;
representatives of the Ordnance Bureau Of the
Navy. and number of reporters.
Two plates were tested, which were attacked
by three projectiles each. The first was nine
inch plate six feet four inches wide and nine
feet seven inches long, of nickel steel. Three
Hotter projectiles weighing $50 pounds each,
were fired from distance of SO feet. The first
with a velocity of 1000 feet per second, pene-
trated to depth of Ii z inches. The second. with
a velocity of 1853 feet per second, went clear
through the plate and three feet of oak back
ing. The third, with velocity of 1885 feet
per second, penetrated to depth Of 14.6 inches.
The second plate was II inches thick, eight
feet four inches high, by IL feet one inch long,
weighing 3ll tons. 1t was attacked by u
inch rifle, the shell weighing $50 pounds. The
striking velocity of the first shot was 1922 feet
a second, and it penetrated to depth of 1876
inches, lacking less than half an inch Of going
through. The second shot was fred with We
locity of 1.495 feet second. and went three
inches into the oak backing. The third and
last shot was to determine whether or not the
premium was to be paid, and the velocity was
raised to 1858 feet 8 second. When the smoke
and dust following the discharge had lifted, it
was found that the she'll had gone clear through
the plate and SO inches of oak backing and
then, finding the embankment rather thin, was
DETECTED into the air and plunged into the
river some hundred yards away or was lost in
the woods on the hillside. Expert opinion on
this point differed, but that it had plowed its
way through all distractions and disappeared
from view was obvious. The plate secured for
its maker the acceptance of the whole contract,
amounting TO from 500 to 700 tons, but earned
no premium. Like the Monadnock plate. it
showed no cracks under the terrific strain to
which it had been subjected. The cost of the tests
Thursday was no small item, and as they CON-
PEELED the acceptance of the plates represented,
il falls upon the Government In round num-
bers the barbet- plate cost $4,000. the srmor-
plate $1,000, and the firing of the rifles, if the
projectiles not again used, $4,000.
