WHERE is WATSON "AT".
lie Wishes to speak-Georgin Pops
Desire His Absence.


WASHINGTON, August 25.-Mr. Tom"
Watson. OF Georgia, is encountering some
difficulty in arranging with the National
Committee Of his party his campaign as
signments. Mr. Watson desires to be
heard. His first assignment was to
Dallas. Tex, where the "Middle-of-the-
road" men, who oppose turning aside
from the straight POpulists toward either
OK the old political parties, have their
stronghold. Mr.. Watson's expressed views
are in sympathy with the "Middle-of-the-
road" IDEAS.
Senator Marion Butler, OF North Caro-
lima. chairman OF the Populist National
Committee. stated to-day that he had eX-
pected 10 announce the itinerary for Mr..
Watsons series OF campaign speeches,
but after naming Dallas. Tex, as the
first date. he had received a number OF
kilograms from observation-disclosures
Reed and other prominent politicians OF
Georgia. urging him to take Watson out
OF the State campaign. This had necessl-
tated an entire change OF the programme.
Mr. Watson will probably go for brief
trim through Kansas and Nebraska, and
then may return 10 his own State. An
extended tour Of the Northwest. which
had been contemplated. has been ADAM
doned for the present.

Bad Accident the Fourth.

Fourth of July in Bridgewater Corners,
eight miles above Woodstock, was turned into
a day of mourning by shocking and terribly
fatal accident in the morning, two men being
killed by the bursting Of a cannon and IA boys
and men more or less badly injured. The
dead are: Charles Bedor, about 80 years,
married, and William Cowdrey, 20 years old,
unmarre ed.
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 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 dis
aster. The charge was composed of powder,
damp earth, sods and cobble stones, tamped
with q steel rod, and the gun had become
heated by repeated discharges, not being
swabbed out at each round. The steel rod OF
the hot iron prematurely fired the piece. The
explosion hurled everyone within radius of
90 feet to the ground, men and boys being
moved down like grass by the shower of
stones and broken iron. The cries Of the
wounded soon brought help and everything
was done to aid the injured.
Bedor at the time of the explosion was sit
ting on a pail containing three or four pounds
of powder and holding the tamping rod and
his legs were nearly blown from his body.
He is said to have spoken few words, but he
lived only two or three minutes. Cowdrey
where he lay bleeding, his body and limbs
being terribly lacerated. He was made as
comfortable as possible but was unable to be
moved and 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 badly smashed ankle, but fell after go
ing about 100 yards, his clothing being on
fire when help reached him. DR.. Boyden,
who was out of town, was sent for and phvsi-
clans were summoned from Woodstock, Drs.
Boynton, Kidder and Sherwin responding.
Cowdrey was alive when they reached the
scene but was past help, and attention was
turned to the other sufferers, who had been
removed to their homes, all but two or three
of the victims residing at Bridgewater village.
Speaking of the fatality, Il former surgeon
in the army said he never saw more execution
done by cannon in all his experience in the
field.
