WASHINGTON, June 3.-During the
debate ON the bond bill in the senate
Mr.. Pettigrew (Rep., S. d. rose to
challenge a published statement that,
although an advocate Of free silver coin
age, he had agreed to support ''McKin-
ley and sound money" in order to be-
come delegate to the national conven-

to Chicago for free silver. The delega-
ton is instructed to vote as unit for
Blackburn at Chicago, and Blackburn
is sitting up all night, taking part in
the contests before the committee on
credentials. Blackburn's conciliatory
course was followed in the resolutions,
and the advice in the speeches of Black
burn and Hardin not to give one iota of
their victory away is likely to be fol-
lowed in the report on credentials The
First and Second districts condemn
Secretary Carlisle by name in their reso-
lutions, and all of the districts except
the Fifth
Condemn the National Administrations,
but the committee and the convention
were more conservative The conven-
tion at one time attempted to prevent
the Fifth district delegates from voting
till the report on credentials was
adopted. The features of the day were
not so much the speeches of Blackburn
and Hardin as the ovations that are
rendered themj jim the hotels, convention
hall, or wherever they appear. J. G. S.
Blackburn, w. p. Hardin, John s.
Rhea and w. T. Ellis have been deter
mined upon for delegates at large, and
W. K. Wheeler of Paducah for perma-
nent chairman.

Senate Passes the River and Harbor Bill
Over the Veto.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The senate
passed the river and harbor bill over
presidents veto by the vote of 56 to s..
This was the last step in making the
bill effective and it is now law. The
vote was taken after three hours of
spirited debate, during which the presi-
dent was criticised and defended, the
remarks at times being directly and Bit
terly personal. The opposition to the
veto was expressed by Senators Vest,
Sherman, Pettigrew, Hawley and But
Ter, while the veto was defended by
Senators Villas, Hill and Bate. When a
partial conference report was presented
on the naval appropriation bill, Mr..
Quay moved that the senate recede
from its amendment reducing the num-
Der Of battleships from four to two
This brought on an extended debate In
it's course Mr.. Tillman spoke in his
usual breezy way on "Armor Robbers"

Will Not Sign the Deficiency Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--The indica-
tions are that the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill will not receive the
presidents signature, owing principally
to objections to the items appropriating
$780, 900 for the payment Of French
spoilation claims. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the bill will not be vetoed,
but will be permitted to become law
without signature.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.


 New London Freight Cars Run Into Picnic Crowd-Mrs. Mary Avery h. jured so Terribly That She Died Many Others Severely Hurt by Fool ishness of Boys.
 New London, Aug, 26,-A shocking accident occurred this afternoon at the Harvard quarters on the Thames river, where the Second Congregational church society was holding it's annual picnic. The steamer Manhanset had arrived at the wharf just below the quarters where she landed several hun dred people, mostly women and child ren.
 A narrow guage railway running rom the quarry to the wharf for the transportation of stone to vessels has been erected there, the incline being such that the cars run from the quarry to the wharf as soon as released. A car loaded with stone was on the tracks when the picnic party arrived
 Some boys were the first to leave the steamer and before the crowd got away from the vessel they went on the railway and taking the chucks from the wheels released the car and it de- scended upon the throng at terrific speed. Mrs. Mary Avery widow of Theophilus Avery, residing at 73 Hunt ing street, this city. was terribly in jured.
 She was brought to this city on the steamer Manhanset and died at the de- pot. Many others are reported injured, but their names and the extent of their injuries canot be told at this writing.

----==~sa-~-a7s=-aF-a---7-s7 Patterson Mil Burned.

The Patterson mill in Gold Basin was destroyed by Are on the afternoon of April Sosh, and the origin oI the fire is unKnown. Tbe mill was on the trail be tween the boariing house and the Cy- clopic mine, and the probability is that some one in passing threw a cigarette into the infsnmsble material surround ing the building, which soon famed into . blaze. The machinery and material in the building Is total loss. The rock breaker fell from a height of twenty feet and was broken into two pieces. There was no insurance on the property and the loss is considerable. Mir. Patterson built the mill last summer for the purpose of testing the ores of the Cyclopic group of mines, and when he sold that property he reserved this mill.
