of she Kentucky National Guard, and
all reside in Louisville. 1t Is feared
that Fred Conn will die. The whole
left eide of his face was blown Off. Even
IL he should recover he will be blind
snd horribly disfgured. Hobes was
badly burned about the face and bruised.
The place where the accident occur.
red Ia one OF the finest residence dis
tricts in the city. Fortunately, few
people were on the streets, owing to the
early hour, or the list of killed and in
jured would have undoubtedly been
greatly increased.

gled almost beyond recognition, fell on
the front porch of q residence, fully 500
feet from the place where the explosion
occurred Just outside the fence and
on the sidewalk was the body OF Private

one block gouth of where the explosion
took place.
There were sixty.six pounds of
powder in the caisson. Rich
ard Cogan, who was about two blocks
from the caisson when IL blew up said
the noise 1t made WAS terrific. The

aud In several of the houses around him
windows were shattered.
The accident has cast a shadow of
gloom over the city. The regiment to

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
 Came to be Lost.

1 A Valuable History Written by . Dying 1 Man. Proper Nourishment Enabled ! the Author to Live Until the Compile ! tion of His Book.
 The fortitude shown by General Grant in writing the second volume of his per- f sonal memoirs while he was literally on his deathbed, excels even the remarkable courage exhibited by this famous soldier in his many achievements on the field of battle.
 Col Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers last illness, says:-
 "During the last four months of his sickness, the principal food of my father, Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and it was the use of this incomparable food alone that enabled him to finish the second volume of his personal memoirs"
 Dr. T. H. Douglas, Gen Grants physi- clan and friend, cordially indorsed the above statement.
 What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it has done, and is now doing, for thousands every day It is the most wonderful con centration into small bulk of all the life-giving, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak- ing clements of lean, raw meat ever pro- duced.
 It is in no way medicine, simply food invigorant, that by it's strengthening qualities gives the worn-out or disordered vital centres of the body an impetus that again starts them performing their natu- ral functions.
 It is indorsed by eminent physicians everywhere, and blessed by thousands whose lives it has actually saved.
 To neglect to use this wonderful food in all cases of debility, wasting diseases, overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss of vitality in old age, is to throw away one of the greatest chances of saving life.

MIR. YERR11L,s NEW PAINTING.
A Very Realistic Work of Art-A Picture of
 the Elbe Disaster.

A Very Realistic Work of Art-A Picture oi
 the Elbe Disaster.
 The last work of art by our talented young townsman, MT. A. H. Verrill which can be seen in the window of MT. Peck's book store on Chapel street is but another proof of his genius
 MT. Verrill has very artistically DOT trayed the terrible disaster which hap pened to the North German Lloyd steamship Elbe in the North Sea, Jan uary 30, 1895, by an illustrative tact and skill in the treatment which re- fleets great credit. For the breadth and truth of the work it is plain that we are indebted to no Individuality but MT. Verrill's own. There is genuine in sight into natural surroundings, and a distinct facility in the interpretation of it that is very pleasing.
 Both as an animal and landscape artist MT. Verrill has executed some fine work, but in his marine paintings he seems at his best.
 The complimentary testimonials of those who have seen this fine painting would lead us to believe that it would amply repay any one making an es- pecial visit to see it.

COUNTY COMMISSTONERS.

 Withdrew His Application for a Lii
 cense.
 Charles B. Bohan, who had applied for license to sell liquors at 54 Oak street, withdrew his aplication yester- day morning. Remonstrance had been made against Bohan by the law and or, der league, and hearing of the remon. strance was to have been held yes terday morning before the county com missioners. The league claimed that Bohan was only a cover for Patrick Lee, who formerly had a saloon at 54 Oak street, and was convicted of viola tion of the law.
 Before the county commissioners to- day will come the hearing on the re- monstrance against the granting of a license to Francesca Onofrio of Factory street. Members of the Jewish church on Factory street claim that Onofrio' $ place is too near their place of wor- ship.

 VALENTINE MEDLEY AT WARNER
 HALL.
 At the Valentine medley given by the Howard avenue Baptist church in Warner hall last evening the H. H. s. Banjo club rendered very pleasing se- lections, as did also the Handel quartet. The vocal solos by Miss Bertha Ray mond received well merited applause, her sweet soprano voice always calling forth an encore. The violin solo by MT. Samson was heartily applauded. Mary Dudley Burk favored the audience with several recitations, eliciting much applause. w. Manning Reynolds put the audience in good humor with hu- morous recitation, "The Man Who Apologized," introducing such truly natural laughing that the audience was luLSClSO WIIh tlt IllI LII Ol lhlo SliuIdC- ter. He was called upon for an encore rendering "Jenlzins' Fortygraph AL bum," which calls for such facial ex- pressions as only MT. Reynolds is capa- ble of. The principal feature of the program was the Valentine Drill, ar ranged by w. Manning Reynolds. The pictures in the mammoth lace valentine are formed by eight young ladies in pretty costumes. The comic valentines were represented by eight boys, dressed as the butcher, baker. police man, fireman, grocer, etc. St. Valen tine, attired as postman, bursts from an envelope, and presents valentines to the participants in the Valentine march.
