Another Caisson Accident.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2O.-An explosion similar
in some respects to that on Grand boule-
ward in July. but resulting in no loss of life,
occurred during the military maneuvers
at Evanston to-day. one of the shrapnel in
caisson belonging TO Captain Grimes,
Battery A, Second Artillery, exploded with
great force, throwing the cannoners on the
seat of the timber into the air and shatter-
ing the cover of the rear chest of the
caisson into splinters. The artillery men
who were rolled in the dust but not injured
wer T. o. Walther. Charles Crumley and
Charles Canford. After the explosion fire
started in the timber and the dry prairie
grass. Driven by the wind the flames
moved toward the crowd foot and the
grand stand. Members from the squad
mount prevented the spectators from clos
ing in around the wreck and the flames
We're soon distinguished. No definite cause
could be given for the accident but II is
thought that a sudden jar when the wheels
of the caiSson into deep rut caused
the shrapnel to be discharged. The caisson
contained ten shrapnel. and il is con-
sidered wonder that only one OF the ten
was discharged.

Murdered for Money

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March IA
Twenty miles from Elba, Antonio
Thomas and wife,a wealthy couple resid-
ing alone, were known to be misers, and
were supposed to keep a large sum of
money in their house. Yesterday the
house was found in ashes. Near the
door the charred bones of the old man
were found. Where the bed had
stood were the burned remains of his
wife. A close examination indicated
that their skulls had been fractured.
and the discovery of an AK near by gave
rise to the theory that the OLD couule
had been murdered while they slept.
their money stolen and the house fired.
There is no clue yet,
