sound Money.

The Register is in receipt Of a pack
age of pamphlets from the Finance
Committee of the st. Louis CONNER
cial Club relating to Sound Money. =
The error of the phamphlets and tracts
is that the single gold standard is ad-
vOcated as a sound money basis. As
well have single silver standard as
a single gold standard. Neither is
right nor just. There is only one
right and that is free coinage of both
metals a double standard. if you
please. \ single standard or either
metal puts not half enough money in
circulation with which to do business.
We want both. we need both. and
with both as redemption money even
then half. or more than half. of the
business of the country would be done
on credit money basis. To do the
business of this country on an absO-
lutely cash basis would require double
the volume OfaredemptiOn money that
could possibly be provided by dOub-
lie standard. Webb City Register.

DISASTROUS FIRE.

Over a Million Dollars Worth of
Property Destroyed at Warren. X. L.
PROVIDENCE (R. L., Oct. 3.-One of the
most destructive fires that has occurred
in this State in many years this evening
destroyed the buildings constituting the
mills of the Warren Manufacturing
Company, at Warren, making fine sheet
ings and shirtings, causing loss of over
Sl.G00,00O.
just how the fire started is not known
yet, but an explosion is said to have oc-
CURED in the engine-room. Tho lire
broke out about o'clock, ahd before the
Warren Fire Department could get water
enough the mill was we'll lighted and
blazing fiercely. Aid was telephoncd for
TO Fall River and to this city, and from
here two steamers were sent. The mill
buildings, including warehouses, were
totally destroyed, ahd lumber yard and
adjoining buildings were badly scorched,
as were the company's tenements.
The disaster will throw about 1000
people out of employment.
The insurance is: on mill and ma
ohinery, SS50.000; tenements. Sl0000O;
warehouses and contents, not known.
The town is practically ruined by the
lire.
The water pressure was ridiculous. The
Warren hose companies could not reach
the third stories OF the mill while the fire
blazed in the stories above, far out of the
water. Assistance was demanded and
received from Providence, Fall River
and Bristol, but the companies from
these places could not do anything when
they reached the scene. The Providence
companies went down on special train,
which left here at o'clock. The Fall
River apparatus was driven to the town.
So, with nothing to prevent It's spread,
the fire roared and crackled and gathered
in everything within its reach.

ager is Dead.
ATLANTIC CITY On. j., Oct. 3.-Harry
Wright, the veteran baseball player and
manager, died in this city shortly after
O'Clock this afternoon of catarrhal pneu-
monia, after a lingering illness.
Harry Wright. the grand old man of
baseball, was the best known, and by all
odds the most popular man ever con-
nected with the great game, and he did
more than any other TO bring the game
TO its present high standing. Always
thoroughly honest in his dealings with
managers and players, he established 8
previously unknown standard of up
rightness among the ball men. His death
Will cause sorrow in the hearts OF all who
have ever enjoyed his acquaintance. His
close aud confident friends, apart from
the game, were few, and TO them he was
a most lovable companion. He was
thoroughly domestic man, and had been
three times married. His third wife, TO
whom he was but recently married, sur
wives him, as do also seven children by
the former wives.
"Uncle Harry" as he was affection
ately called, began his athletic career as u
cricketer. He was born in Sheffield,
Eng, January 10, 1855, but his parents

whore he attended school until he was
about II years old. in 1897 he commenced
| to play baseball with the then famous
kniokerbocker Club OF New y ork. In
1866 he went to Cincinnati under engage
ment of the Union Cricket Club Of that
city. In July. 1866, he helped to organ
/ iZe the atterward famous Cincinnati
Baseball Club. This was one OF the first
regularly trained professional teams ever
| put on the diamond. The Cincinnati
Reds" through Mr.. Wrights manage
ment, gained an enviable and widespread
reputation. Harry pitched for the club
| during the season OF 1866 and 1867, but
the nextt three seasons he played in center
! field. The season OF 1869 was Cincinnati 8
| banner year. During that season the
club travelled all over the United States
and met all the leading clubs, without
losing game. In a game played June
y, 1867, at Newport. KY, Harry Wright
made seven houe-runs for the Cincinnati
/ Club. this being the largest number OF

who had been confined in the hospital,
came upon the grounds and deliberately
fired three shots ut his superior officer.
The first shot went wide of its mark, the
second went through the CoIone's coat,
and the third grazed his abdomen.
Prague would have fired again had not
the Colonel jumped from his horse and
grappled with him.
Lieutenant Prague had been drinking,
and was practically q maniac. and being
SO much younger and stronger than Col
onel Crofton, the latter was no match for
him, and was thrown 10 the ground be-
fore Lieutenant PIow and others rushed
to his rescue ana disarmed the would-be
murderer.
AS soon as Lieutenant Prague was sub
dued an am DulanCe was cal ed to remove
the wounded Colonel, and Lieutenant
Prague himself was escorted to the guard
house, where he Is now being closely
watched.
Why The young Lieutenant should have
attempted 10 take the life OF his Colonial
seems to be something OF a mystery,
though it is known that he is hardly re-
sponslble for his actions. Prague is ad-
dicted to drink, and has on two occasions
been an inmate of the establishment for
druukards 1t Dwight. 1t appears that he
has lately gone back to his Old habits,
and to-day was III the army hospital get

The affair has caused great excitement
at Fort sheridan, and the escape of Col
onel CrOftOn, who Is the commandant at
the post, from death is considered miracu-
lous. The wound is not thought to be
dangerous, though painful.

urday.
The effort of the defense to sustain the
roll-cail for DIR. Cheney's lecture on the
afternoon ofApril 81. on which Durrant's
mesappears, failed in an important par
ticul ar to-day. The roll showed that
student &. L. Garvin was absent from the
lecture. Garvin testified that he was
present.
| Durrant's counsel sought to show that
Garvin had been absent from clinic the
! day before the roll-call on which was on
/ a page opposite to that containing the roll
call OF the ID, and this caused con-
fusion and a transposition of the absence
mark. In this they failed, as Garvin said
/ he did not know whether he attended the
clinic or not.
Durrant's counsel claim that on April
! Sd Durrant, accompanied by +. Il. Ross,
another student, left the college at 1890
/ and took walk, from which they did not
return until 1880, when Durrant went to
the college ami remained until the close

Ross was put on the stand this after
noon, but he could not say on what day
the walk was taken. He was not certain
