jumped the track at that point.
Since Sunday the trains on the East
New York. Fifth Avenue and Ridgewood
branches have run through to the bridge.
Passengers wishing to 20 to the ferry

from the Navy street station. The mis-
hap near the bridge station this morning
caused a blockade, and the engineers OF
the Ridgewood trains were ordered to go
over the old route to the ferry. thus pre-.
venting the shuttle trains for a short
time from making their scheduled trips.

ONE SHRAPNEL EXPLODED.
Three Artillery Men Have Il Narrow
Escape from Death.
CBy Associated Presk)


CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 2l.--An explo-
sion similar in some respects to that
which occurred on the Grand Boule-
ward in July last. but resulting In no
loss OF life, took place during the mill
tary manoeuvres at Evanston to-day.
One Of the shrapnel in a caisson be-
longing to Capt Grimes. Battery A.
Second Artillery. exploded with great
force. throwing the three cannoneers on
the seat Of the timber into the air and
shattering the cover OF the rear chest
of the caisson into splinters.
The artillerymen who were rolled into
the dust but not injured were L. 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
towards the crowd on foot and on the
grand stand. Members from the guard
mount prevented the spectators from
closing In around the wreck, and the
flames were soon eNtinguished.
No definite cause could be given for
the accident. but II Is thought that II
sudden Jar when the wheels OF the
caisson ran into deep rut caused the
shrapnel TO be discharged. The caisson
contained ten shrapnel and ii Is consid-
cred a wonder that only one or them
was discharged.

BROOKLYN NEWS.
MANY HORSES HAVE ISLANDERS.
Health Commissioner Emory Fears
an Epidemic.
n, Issues . Notice Requiring that
Gases BE Reported.

An Epidemic Of CHAMBERS among horses
IL feared by the officials Of the Brook
,vn Health Department unless horse
owners take prompt measures to check
the disease and report the cases as fast
as they are discovered to the proper au.
thorities.
Health Commissioner Emery to-day
issued a notice calling attention to sec
ton 81 of the Sanitary Code, which pro-
yides that all diseases among animals
must be reported to the Health Depart
ment within twenty-four hours Of their
discovery.
THE fact that three cases Of CHAMBERS,
in an advanced stage, came under the
notice Of Inspector Alderman, of this
Department, within twenty-four hours,
indicates a rising tendency in the dis
ease among horses" says the Commits
goner.
The early cooperation of all horse
+ men will have the effect Of restricting
i the progress of the disease.

purposes, has already good position
as a promising agency in equine eco

I'm illustration of the disastrous eff

as the draught class; mankind may
also contract the disease from horses.

DENY HIPPOLYTE'S ILLNESS.
Hnytian Representatives Discredtt
Reports from kinHston, Jamaica. D

No credence is given either AT the
Haytian Consulate or Legation offices
In this city to the reports published this
morning that President Hippolyte. OF the
Haytian Republic, was mortally Ill. and
that IL revolution was Inevitable.
At the Consulate 1t was said that no
news Of the Presidents illness had been
recorded, and as one of the cablegrams
published was dated from Kingston, ia
maica, II was considered that that fact
alone stamped the report as false.
Minister Clement Haenuen. OF the
New York office of.the Haytian Legation.
said he did not believe the reports for
two reasons The first was that Kings
ton was the headquarters OF the reyoiu-
tionists opposed to the President. and all
news adverse to him was dated from
that point. The second reason was that
on Saturday last, at Il. NJ. he received
"A cablegrsm from President Hlppolyte
about state affairs, which made no ref
erence to his health.
Recent kilograms from Port-au-Prin
