ACCIDENT. Ito A TROOPER.
He Gets a Severe Fsll-Intelligence OF
His Observation-Disclosures WORK.


His Horse-AmbulanceW Work.
Saturday at P. NJ. Private Flagler of
Troop 1, Fourth United States Cavalry,
and Orderly to the commanding officer,
was riding out of Sixth street into K,
bearing messages, when his horse slipped
just at the edge of the hituminous pave
ment.
The weight of the trooper was thus
thrown suddenly upon one stirrup, the
strap of which parted and the rider was
precipi tated 10 the ground. the horse
falling and, TO ling over the leg and
partly on the body OF the cavalryman.
The animal quickly regained its feet,
and instead OF running away turned and
stood beside its master and put down its
muzZle TO him, as if to ask, Are you
hurt?' Flagler was carried into Phelps
drug store and given every possible at
tention. He was rendered almost sense
less for a time by the shock and one of
his legs appeared to be badly injured.
A physician was quickly at hand and
pronounced no bones broken. In the
meantime the army ambulance was tele-
phoned for and came within a surpris-
ingly short time. as also did the army Of
ficers, who manifested the utmost soIici-
tude for the injured trooper and attended
upon him as upon a brother. In due
time he was placed in the ambulance and
conveyed to the quarters hospital.
The very large crowd that assembled at
the scene of the accident was afforded an
opportunity to see how first-class am-
bulance, such one as the city ought to
own, is worked. With what seemed but
single motion, out there came bundle,
which by turn of the wrist opened out
and took the shape of a wheeled cot or
litter.
A pull at rod at one side of the vehicle
caused the seats on either side to fold out

Five Men Put to Death at Montgomery
Ala, Within u Week, and Two More
Next Friday.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 21.-There
was triple hanging here Friday,
which makes five persons to suffer cap
ital punishment in Montgomery within
the week, and another double hanging
is booked for next Friday.
The victims Friday were Pete Davis,
Charles Ezell and Dan Washington,
all colored. The scaffold was erected
at the county jail, and nearly five
thousand people witnessed the
affair. The hangings were
fairly successful, though Davis
did not die for eight minutes after the
drop. Davis murdered John Evans in
order to be able to marry his wife, and
the woman assisted in the crime. She
is now serving sentence in the peni
tentiary.
Charles Ezell, in drunken quarrel
with his wife, near this city, stabbed
and killed her a year ago.
Dan Washington was hanged for the
murder of a storekeeper, j. d. Perkins,
in this city.
Besides the hangings booked for next
Friday, there are in jail here a couple
of Negroes who have been respited by
the governor.

CHICAGO, July sl---The determine
tion of the Pullman Co. to reopen it,
works and operate them with a force
of non-union employees, If the old en-
ployes refuse to return, has aroused
the strikers to whitehead temper,
and both militia and police are looking

tween Col. Turner and Police Lieuten-
ant Bassett, and It was decided to keep
q close watch on the Burnside and
Roseland district throughout the
night.
emit riots in Pullman and its surround
ings during the day. The most threat
eAing occurrence was at o'clock,
when n big crowd surrounded the fire
station, where n senatorial primary
election was in progress. The militia
was compelled to charge bayonets, and
the mob retreated. One of the most
demonstrative of the crowd, a striker
named Edward Herzog, was arrested
and taken to Burnside.
When the batch Of seventy-five Hol-
landers that had been working in the
car shops quit work at o'clock they
were followed by crowd of over two
hundred strikers. A detail of police
from the Seventeenth district, under
command of Lieut.. Bassett, followed
at short distance.
At Michigan avenue and 117th street,
near Roseland, where the Hollanders
are quartered, the strikers made con.
certed move toward the foreigners.
Thereupon the police charged, and the
strikers fed in all directions. The po.
lice then formed square about the
workmen and. kept them company to
their quarters.
The strikers turned out in force at
the primary election and the A. r..
U. ticket, selecting delegates pledged
to w. Roby for state senator, was sue.
cessful by vote of 244 to 1O3 for the
ticket in the interest of George w.
Miller. 1t was the largest vote ever
cast in Pullman.

dsrs 10 90 There.
There n LIKELY IL ne Considerable Fight

M strong American Force. -.

WARRINGTON. July 20.-The cruiser
Columbia has been ordered to proceed
immediately to Bluefelds, Nicaragua
to protect American interests during
the disturbances now going on in thai
country. The only information vouch
safed at the navy or state department!
concerning the necessity for sending
the Columbia is the following bulletin
given to the press:
According to dispatch received BY
the secretary of the navy, dated New
Orleans, July 10, the situation at Blue
fields on July Ia is reported as follows
The Mosquitoes have control of Blue
fields, and the acting Nicaraguan com
missioner has gone to Rama"
It is stated on authority, however
that the United States had not recog
nized the government of Chief Clar
ence, and that Commander O'Neill hat
no instructions which would permit
aim to make any recognition Other
than what would be implied by hold
ing the Mosquito chieftain responsible
for the safety of Americans and theil
property so long as he is in control o.
affairs at Bluefields. Naval officer.
think there are three good reasons FOL
sending the Columbia to Bluefields
and that the administration was prob
ably influenced by all of them in issu
ing the order.
First, there is likely to be considera
BILE aghting, as Nicaragua has no ides
of giving up control of the Mosquito
country, and American lives and prop
erty would be apt to suffer in the alb
seDce of strong American force
Second, it would seem advisable il
such crisis to have an officer of higf
rank and great experience, and Capt
Sumner is possessed of these in grea,
degree. Lastly, the personnel of the
Columbia needs active service and dis
cipline, and tour Of duty in the trop
les would be beneficial.

oareIy saved From Defeat In ths scnats--
In order 10 Save the Measure an Adj djourn.
mont Until Monday Was Forced.
WARRINGTON, July el.--For Ave ex.
citing hours the tariff bill faced defeat
in the senate Friday. In order to save
the measure from certain destruction
the managers forced an adjournment
until Monday. This respite of two
days will be used in efforts to heal the
disscnsions in their ranks. It is impos.
sible to say in consequence of this nd.
journment that the bill will be beaten
next week. 1t is certain, however, that
never in its checkered history was il in
such peril as Friday.
BY their hasty adjournment the
managers of the measure admitted the
imminent peril of the bill. All day
long they were prepared to stave off
the vote upon any of the pending mo.
tions in the senate, because they knew
that if voting were once to begin Fri.
day straight path to the destruction
Of the measure would be opened.
This can be seen from the nature Of
the motions now pending. First Of
these is that of Senator Hill to instruct
the senate conferees to recede from
the senate duty on coal and iron ore.
Next is the motion of Senator Villas to
recede from so much Of the sugar
schedule as provides for duty Of one
eighth Of one cent per pound on re-
fined sugar in addition to forty per
cent. ad valorem. Back of this demo-
cratic leaders were aware that Senator
Quay was prepared, if the opportunity
offered, to offer his motion instructing
the conferees to recede from the entire
sugar schedule.
The greatest danger was the motion
Of Mr.. Villas. They we'll knew that il
brought to vote it would certainly be
carried. In the meantime democratic
members Of the house were on the
senate whispering their delight at the
turn things had taken in the Villas
blow at the sugar trust and informing
the senators that If the bill came to the
house in that form the house would
yield to all the rest of the senate
amendments.
The democratic senators were also
confronted by the knowledge that If
the Villas amendment was carried the
bill! would lose the votes of the Louisi-
ana senator's, Messrs. Caffery and
Blanchard, while Senator Smith, OF
New Jersey, announced in stentorian
tones that he would 60 no further; that
the house must accept the senate bill
as it stood or leave it.
It is evident, also, that the bill is
confronted with another serious dam
ger. If it be not amended as the presi-
dent indicates, it is difficult to see how
he can give it his approval should it
ever reach the white house. This was
made very clear by Mr.. Hill, who
pointed out that the president had
practically said in his message to Mr..
Wilson that the pending bill meant
party perfidy and party dishonor."
