RuILT IN A. MONTH.

Mena, Ark, Aug. lit has been
many years since there has been any
thing in the west to compare with the
rapid growth that has been witnessed
during the past thirty days in the
west. A few weeks ago there was
not a house in Mena. Today, the
commencement of a second month,
there are over 5000 people, 20 bust
ness houses completed and under con-
struction, two saw mills, one planning
mill, and five lumber yards, besides
dozens of homes. Mena has a wide
area of country about it not traversed
by a railroad, and the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, whose
advent has just recently been made a
certainty, will make it division
point.

BLOWN TO BITS.
Workman Jars a Lot of Dynamite
And Only Small Parts of His
Body Recovered


Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 17.-Three men
were killed, fifteen or more injured
and several buildings were demOlish-
ed by an explosion of % pounds of
dynamite in New Holland this morn
ing.
The Pennsylvania Telephone com
pany is building n new line in that
vicinity and had stored the explosive
in the summer kitchen of the Eagle
hotel. Early this morning ChasA f.
Cannon, an employee of the company
and one of the gang just about to
start to work, went to the summer
kitchen to get enough dynamite for
the days use. A few moments later
there was terrible explosion and one
side. of the kitchen was blown out.
A big hole in another side had blood
and flesh on the ragged edges and it
is supposed Cannon's body was sent
through there. The unfortunate man
was blown to atoms. His stomach
was found two blocks away.
Up to a late hour this morning nei-
Their his legs nor head had been found.
Frank Hammond, of Harrisburg,
was standing just outside the build
ing and had every bone in his body
broken and was instantly killed.
George Crossman, of Steelton, who
was also standing near the building,
was badly injured and died while be-
ing brought to this city.
Among those most seriously in
jured are: Michael Wade, Frank
Lewis, Frank Peale, David Hoff
man, Joseph Manu.. Walter Fasnig,.
Phil Lawrence, John Conlon, John
White and Robert Spirk.
Other buildings close to the kitchen
were badly wrecked, as was also part
of the hotel, while the whole front of
a large implement store was blown
out Tin roofs of number of houses
were raised and ruined. The damage
to property will amount to a large
sum- The cause of the explosion is
not known as Cannon was the only
person in the building when it oc-
Cured.

CONTRACTED ANTHRAX.

vincennes, Ind, Aug. 17.-Last
night Michael Carney inspected a
herd of Texas ponies, from which he
contracted anthrax, or malignant pos
tules, and ten hours later was at the
point of death. The doctors burned
out the afflicted parts with carbolic
acid as the only means of saving his
life. Anthrax microbes had been
carried from one. of the ponies to a
slight abrasion on his cheek, whereby
he was inoculated by the disease.
Anthrax is a cattle disease, but can
be contracted by other animals by in
oculation. .ma
Canney's recovery is doubtful. The
disease is very rare, only one other
case ever known here, that was %
years ago, and the patient was dead
in twelve hours.

WATERSPOUT PANIC.
SCENE ON BOARD ITALIAN IMMI-
GRANT SHIP.
Waterspout Sweeps By Within Two Hun
bred Yards of the Terror Stricken
Grew and Crowd.

New York, Aug. las the steamer
Austria from Naples with 500 Italian
immigrants on board was nearing
this port Friday evening, a gigantic
waterspout went by the ship while
deafening thunder claps smote the
ears of the terrified immigrants and
flashes of light made the sky appear
like liquid sheet of flame. A terri
fic thunderstorm ragged for an hour,
and then at o'clock there arose on
the oceans surface two miles west of
the steamer, a big cone of water with
a yeasty mass of foam at its base.
The cone had formed directly beneath
black, overhanging cloud that
seemed to reach down towards it like
a huge finger. Not a drop of rain had
fallen and not breath ruffied the
oceans surface. The passengers were
stricken dumb with terror, as they
watched the great cone reach upward
and join the overhanging finger of
black mist forming a column of swirl
ing, seething water fully thirty yards
in diameter at the base four feet thick
in the center of the column. At the
top it spread out like an immense UNI
brella. Thus it came careening to.
wards the ship and the fear stricken
passengers at last found voice in one
great wall of despair, Many fell on
their knees and prayed. Others faint
ed. Still the wate9 spout rushed to-
wards them with noise like a mil
lion buZZsaws. But after it neared
the ship its course was changed
slightly and the water spout seething
and buzzing as it went, swept by not
more than 200 yards off the starboard
side.
The passengers screened as the i'm
mense column passed by, and then
laughed and cried and Rugged one
another in joy when they realized the
danger was passed.

A JUDGES BACKBONE.

Denver, Col, Aug. 17.-Judge Cald-
well of the United States Circuit court
has made an order upon the applica-
ton of the Midland Terminal Railway
company, whose link is the connect
ing one between the Colorado Midland
and the Cripple Greek roads, direct
ing Receiver Hastings of the Colora-
do Midland to resume traffic relations
with the Terminal at once on the basis
existing before the rupture occurred.
With the assistance of a railway ex-
pert Justice Caldwell proposes to in
vestigate the matter in dispute, and
as the Terminal is willing to accept
arbitration it is probable traffic over
this line will not again be interrupted.

CORBETT GOES INTO TRAINING

New York, Aug. 17.-James j. Cor
bett, looking fresh and in good condi-
ton, though just fresh from the train
that brought him from Chicago, is at
the Metropole hotel. He brings with
him Dan Hawkins from San Francis
co, the 125 pound boy, whom he is
willing to match against any man in
the world at that weight.
Corbett goes to Ashbury Park the
last of the week to train for his fight
with Tom Sharkey, which he expects
will come off in October, if the club
which bids for the event completes
arrangements by that time.
''The reports that was not in good
condition when 1 met Sharkey in
June are all wrong" said Corbett.
II never was in. better health or con-
dition. Sharkey is great big. fellow
and it will take man In perfect trim
to whip him, and am going to do it."

HORSE SHOW.

Kansas City, Aug. 17.-At the auc-

nual horse show, to be held in Fair
mont Park in September, an average
of 500 was obtained. Among the
buyers were w. S. Stansbury and A.
e. Taylor, of Philadelphia. The
show, which has become an establish
ed future in Kansas City, bids fair to
eclipse any like event held in the
southwest. Much preparation is be-
ing made for the show, and already
many valuable horses and turnouts,
both from this and outside cities,
have been entered.

RIOT IN BELFAST.

Nationalist Procession Attacked and
Now Serious Trouble Is Feared.
Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 17.-Serious
rioting occurred here this morning in
connection with the Nationalist man
Hesitation, in favor of granting am
nesty to Irish political prisoners.
There were several professions Of Ma
tionalists marching through the
streets at the beginning and they
finally merged into large procession,
headed by bands of men armed with
spears. The procession soon attracted
immense crowds of people and stone
throwing commenced. This served
to enrage the Nationalists and their
bandsmen attacked the crowds with
their spears wounding many people.
The police charged the rioters and
used their batons freely with the re-
suit of several persons being hurt be-
fore order was restored. The rioting
caused the greatest excitement
throughout the city and further dis
turbances are feared this evening if
the demonstrators carry out their
threats of returning in much greater
strength and marching through the
main streets of Belfast. The police
however are taking steps to make a
display of force, calculated to prevent
further rioting and if necessary the
military will be called upon to assist
the constabplary in maintaining or

CRETAN AFFAIRS.
BOTH SIDES WANT TO FIGHT 1T
OUT.
The Powers Have Interfered to Prevent
Grecian Aid But Gave None
Themselves.

New York, Aug. IA special to
the Herald from Canea says: Your
correspondent has had talk with
Choussein Bey, a Mussulman deputy,
representing Canea. He said:
I'VE most earnestly hope that the
Sublime Porte will not accept the
propositions made by the Christian
deputies. We Mussulmans would
rather die than live under the condi-
tons they seek to place upon us. l
deny and we all deny that there is
any truth in the stories foated by the
Christians that our soldiers are guilty
of pillaging. There are and are sure
to be reprisals, but Mussullmans are
losing just as much as Christians. If
we are left to ourselves we can settle
the whole matter in, say three
months. We should need as many as
twenty batallions more, in all $4,000
men,"
In Athens the members of the Gre
tan committee said all they wanted
was to be left alone with the Turks,
so as to be able to wipe them out of
existence.
From opposition parties therefore it
would appear that the powers We're
unwelcome and the Christians and
Turks alike would prefer to be al
lowed to settle their differences as
best they might between themselves.
The archbishop primate was asked
whether he could see any solution
without war. He answered:
Il fear not, unless there is favor
able reply from the Porte to the just
demands of the Christian people.
There is too much bitterness existing
between Christians and Turks for an
imosities to be smoothed over"
The archbishop parted a sugges-
ton that such an attitude was con-
trary to the Christian teaching.
Regarding the possible withdrawal
of the Powers he said:
Naturally, as the powers interfered
unasked, we have the right to expect
that they will accomplish something
for us, but the idea that when they
have prevented Greece from helping
us they should desert us and leave us
to the mercy of the Turks is grossly
wrong and / cannot think they will
do So"
When he was asked what he
thought would be the possible results
of war he replied:
by the help of God and left to our
selves we could manage all right, So
long as the Powers leave us alone and
Greece continues to supply cartridges
and rifles we can hold our own. AS
for myself 1 do not propose going
away, but remaining where Christian
duty calls me-"
When this conversation was over
the archbishop, whose full title is
Timotheus, metropolitan primate of
Crete and ex-arch of all Europe, paid
a visit to his refugees. He still has
three hundred housed in the school of
the archbishopric.

ONE PRACTICAL CAMPAIGNER.


Kansas City, Aug. IA. e. Still
well, president of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, is the
first large employer of labor to begin
an active political campaign among
his men. Yesterday all the shopmen
in Pittsburg and Kansas City and all
intermediate points, besides many en-
ployes of the road, altogether num-
bering several hundred were given a
holiday and free transportation to
Paramount Park. When they arrived
there Mr.. Stillwell appeared before
them in the auditorium and delivered
an able address of his opinion of the
free silver craze" as he termed it.
Mr.. Stillwell claimed that the free
silver agitation had done more harm
to the laboring man, had taken more
bread out of his mouth than the late
war. He assured his employees that
they would never see any free silver
men at the head of any great enter
prise that developed the country and
give work to the laboring man. He
urged his employees not to cast their
votes in favor Of a policy that would
drive capital away from the country.
