A Party Of Miners Literally Annihilated

The drivers went into the stables

ribiy Mangied.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 16.-A caisson
of Battery F, I'd Artillery, L. S. A.,
exploded with terrible force shortly
after / o'clock this afternoon at
Grand and lakewood boulevards.
Two artilIerymen atld one trooper
were instantly killed. Nearly a score
of other persons, troopers resident
in the vicinity and passers-by, were
injured, some of them fatally.
The troops left Brighton Park for
a long march around the city to ex,
ercise the horses.
Everything went smoothly and
there were no incidents until the col
umn, marching south on Grand
boulevard, was just crossing Oak
wood boulevard. Then Il terrific ex-
plosion occurred. The men on the
caisson, supposed to be Donovan
and Doyle, were literally blown to
pieces, and others were thrown
many feet by the violence of the
conclusion. Four of the horses
drawing the caisson fell in their
tracks, shot through and. horribly
mangled, while three others we're
blown 80 feet ahead against the trees
on the boulevard, dying instantly.
The caisson was blown to atoms, not

ing found. The boulevard looked
like a battlefield.
There was a quick series of ex-
plosions after the first report, and
shrapnel shot rained like hail among
the trees on the boulevard and
pierced the surrounding dwellings.
The conclusion broke every window
in the houses for blocks away. The
walls and roofs of the dwellings,
showed the terrific effect of the mis-
siIes. Unexploded shells of the rear
part of the caisson lay strewn over
the ground. With the explosion
came great confusion of the troops,
and for a moment the men and Off
GERS seemed powerless to move.
The force of the explosion can be
more readily understood when it is
remembered that the twelve cart,
ridges contained 1875 pounds of
powder.

Courageous Leadership.

Col. O'Brien Moore, the we'll
known Washington correspondence
the St. Louis Republic, in Il com
munication to this paper says:
The influence of leadership-cour-
ageous leadership-on public opin-
ion was made very manifest in
Washington duringthe past 10 days.
During the first four or five days OF
this great strike, while law was be
ing violated, life sacrificed and
property destroyed at Chicago and
elsewhere, the members of our ma
tional legislature gave little heed,
and scarcely one of them would ex-
press an opinion on the proceedings.
They did not know which way the
cat was going to jump. They thought
perhaps hat the strikers and the
rioters might attain a partial sue
cess. They thought that votes might
be influenced by the result of the
strike, and they feared to say any
thing even in the interest of law and
good government that might affect a
vote. When Grover Cleveland put
down his big fist, however, thunder.
ed forth his proclamation, sent the
army to the scene of the riots, com :
manded the lawbreakers to dispense,
and declared his intention to exer.
else all the force of the Government
to restore law and order, the law
makers at the Capitol began to see
light.
Then they began to denounce the
rioters, TO praise the President, TO in
sist that the dignity of the Govern
ment and the authority of the law
should be maintained at all hazards.
If the President was Il tiinid man, il
he hesitated as to what his duty
called him to do, it is safe to say that
none of the statesmen at the Capitol
would have as yet found tongue 10
express an opinion. The influence
OF Cleveland was magical, however,
and his courage seemed to be con.
tagious. When he spoke and acted,
sending CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the insurgents and rioters, Grip
ping the conspiracy to defy law, the
lawmakers suddenly began to pass
resolutions and to denounce lawless.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, July 15.-The

CHICAGO. ILL.,, July 17.-Judge
Seaman, in the United States Cir
cult Court this afternoon, set the
trial of the contempt cases of Debs,
Howard, keliher and Rogers of the
A. K. [. for next Monday morning
at 10 o'clock. He fixed the addi'
tional bail at $4,000 each, and Or

shall until the sureties had been ap-
proved.
Attorney Erwin exploded a bomb
by stating that if the defendants we're
compelled to give bail on the charge
of contempt they would go TO jail,
for the bail already demanded on
the indictments found in the district
had exhausted their ability in that
direction. Unless the court accept
ed their own recognition, it was Il
matter of Jail and nothing else.
AT 3:15, after Il conference with
the attorneys, Debs announced for
himself and the three other defend
ants that they would go to Jail and
refuse to give additional bal on the
ground that their bondsmen in the
other cases had been so bitterly at
tackled by the press that they felt Il
great deal of hesitancy in askingany
citizens TO go additional bail
for them.

Looks DIRK for Clark.


Many conflicting stories are to be
heard IN regard to the cause of the
trouble and the exact facts in the
matter are difficult to procure, but if
the testimony given before the Cor
oner's jury is to be believed, it looks
rather dark for the defendant; while
on the other hand the conditions
should be well weighed, and if the
defendant s life was about to be TAX
Ell it was a duty that he owed HIM
self 10 protect it. The evidence given
before the Coroner's jury does not
show that the defendants life was in
danger, and the most serious con-
clusion that can be drawn from it
would be few fistic blows; and
considering the time and place the
incident occurred, it is hardly
reasonable to think that the de-
ceased had any intention of COM
hitting murder. Yet on the other
hand it may have appeared to the
defendant that his life was about TO
be taken, and If such was the case,
the terrible act of killing would be
self defense; yet self defense cannot
be so construed as to permit a man
that is armed to follow one that is
unarmed nearly across the street
trying to kill him. For when the ac-
tive danger to : mans life is over, If
there be any, then all claim 10 self
defense is at an end.

PRAYED FOR his VICTIM.
An Old Feud Between Missouri Farm
ers Leads to a Killing.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, July IA
quarrel of Two years standing be-
tween Thomas j. Gillespie and
Bernard McNutt, two we'll known
farmers of Boone county, resulted
last night in the death of the latter
from Il shotgun in the hands of the
former. Gillespie is 80 years of age,
and his victim was a young man of
% years. The killing took place at
the gate leading into the Gillespie
premises, five miles northeast of
here. An alteration took place be-
tween the parties an hour before the
tragedy, about a mile from the place
of the killing. They separated how
ever, without serious difficulty, but
an hour later, McNutt, armed with a
shot gun, approached the residence
of Gillespie, who was also armed
and standing near the front gate.
What transpired can only be judged
from the statement of Gillespie, who
is the only living witness of the
tragedy. He atfirms tina. when he
saw McNutt approaching on horse
back he ordered him to halt, and on
his refusing to obey the command
fired the fatal shot, only M of
which took effect, but penetrating
near the heart of the victim, proved
fatal. When McNutt fell from his
horse Gillespie approached and
shook hands with the dying man,
and at the request of his victim
knelt in the road and offered a prayer
for the parting soul, which passed
away a few moments after the shot
was fired. Gillespie then surrender
ed to the Sheriff.

CHAMP CLARK HEARD FROM.
The MissUnrian Violently Attacks the

WASHINGTON, July l6.-After
passing n bill for the construction Of
a bridge across the Mississippi river
at Eagle Point, Dubuque, the house
| went into committee on the whole
to consider the bill for the creation
of a retired list for disabled officers
of the revenue marine service.
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, in the
course of his remarks, made Il gem
eral assault on the civil service sys-
tenn, which he declared was the most
monumental fraud of the century.
"Not ten men in this house, he
said, 'Fcould stand an examination
for a 5000 clerkship. Why, they
asked one man over there how many
British soldiers were sent here dur
ing the revolutionary war. The APP
plicant replied that he did not know
the exact number, but he knew a
- sight more came over than
went back.
Following is the Coroner's verdict
in the Clark-McCambridge killing at
Moberly Friday:
"We, the jury agree that deceased
came to his death by a pistol shot in
the hands of one Chas. Clark, and
that same was without just cause or
provoeation."
