CHICAGO, July 30-During the Chicago convention, when there was talk of nominating Senator Turpie of Indiana for vice-president, the report was started here that Turpie's refusal to permit his name going before the convention was due to the fact that he knew he was ineligible, not being a native of the United States. Milton Stills, a pioneer of White county, says that Senator Turpie was born in Lon don, England. Mir Stills says that he challenged MT.

THE VERMONT NEWS.
Awful Fourth of July Accident.
Two Wen Killed and a Dozen Boys
wounded by a Premature Explosion
at BrIdgeUnter Corners,

Two Men Killed and a Dozen Boys
wounded by n Premature Explosion
at BrIdgewater Corners.
Fourth of July in Bridgewater Corners
was turned into a day of mourning by
shocking accident, two men being killed
by the bursting of cannon and II men and
boys more or less injured. The dead are:
Charles Bedor, 80, William Cowdrey, 20.
Injured: George Lombard, struck by flying
stone in abdomen; Bert Woodward, leg
broken and lacerated and badly burned,
will probably lose his limb; Charles Had
ley, ankle broken, amputation probably
necessary; Carroll Southgate, bad flesh
wound in right leg; Robert Thompson, leg
broken and face badly burned; Bert Hub
bard, bad flesh wound in leg and face
burned, Charles Sprague, flesh wound in
thigh; Harold Perkins, face burned.
Wesley Barrows, James Gokey, Will
liam Rice, Julian Robinson and Will
liam and Edward Smith were also some
what burned and scratched by flying pieces
of iron and stone, but their injuries are
less severe.
With the exception of Bedor, Cowdrey
and Hadley all victims were boys from 10
to - years. The accident occurred about
10 O'Clock in front of the new schoolhouse
near Josselyn bridge, where 80 men and
boys were firing a cannon, an old affair
made from a piece of shafting about four
inches through and Is in length. The
carelessness of Bedor and others in charge
of the cannon caused the fatal disaster.
The charge was composed of powder, damp
earth, sods and cobble stones, tamped with
steel rod, and the gun had become
heated by repeated discharges, not being
swabbed out at each round. The steel rod
or the hot iron prematurely fired the piece.
The explosion hurled every one within
radius of 80 feet to the ground, men and
boys being moved down like grass by the
shower of stones and broken iron.
Bedor was sitting on a pail containing
three or four pounds of powder, and his
legs were nearly blown from his body. He
lived only two or three minutes. Cowdrey
was blown several feet towards the road
side, where he lay bleeding, his body and
limbs being terribly lacerated. He expired
in about two hours, being conscious most
of the time. Hadley had two giant crackers
in his pocket, which exploded when he fell,
burning his flesh and clothes and throwing
him several feet. Young Southgate started
to run for home with a badly smashed
ankle, but fell after going 100 yards, his
clothing being on fire when help reached
him. The village physician was away and
three doctors were summoned from Wood
stock, eight miles away, as soon as possible.
Bedor leaves wife and two children in
South Royalton. Cowdrey was the adopted
son of Martin Cowdrey of Barnard and has
no relatives. Mr.. Lombard was passing the
spot just before the cannon burst and
warned the men not to use a steel rod to
lamp the charge. He had taken only
few steps when the explosion came and he
was struck by flying stone, but not badly
injured. The same cannon was discharged
prematurely on former occasion, several
men narrowly escaninn death.

A Red Hot Iron Through His Body.

George D. Sampson, 20, son of Mrs.
James A. Chamberlain, was fatally injured
at st. Adams Friday, red hot iron shot
from cannon passing through his body.
A lot of paper had been wadded into the
barrel, and to get it out he put in several
charges of powder. Instead of discharg-
ing the paper the powder flushed.
He then heated a poker red hot and
thrust it deep into the barrel. There was
a loud report, and Sampson screamed to
his mother, Pull it out, pull it out"' The
iron had been driven through leather
covered book in his pocket, and entirely
through his body, passing through his
right lung. Mrs. Chamberlain was obliged
to wrap her apron about the iron and
then pull with all her strength before she
could remove it. When she threw it down
the iron scorched the floor. Simpsons
lung was so badly punctured that the air
rushed out at every breath. His recovery
is very doubtful.
