Escaped Injury-The Boat Sank
Immediately.

VICKSBURG, MISS, May 11.-Word
reached here this morning that the
steamer Harry Brown was blown up by the
explosion of a boiler fifty miles below here
last night. The boat carries a crew of
thirty roustabouts.
So terrific was the force of the ex-
plosiou that the boat was torn asunder
and in less than five minutes was at
the bottom of the Mississippi. 1t is
known that the following were killed
outright bv the explosion or by drowning: /:
Pilot Norman Bardsley, the steersman; :;
William Doueherty, chief engineer; An
ME Herd, chambermaid; Tom Judd, fire.
man; William Watson, first mate; Will
liam Ftzsimmons, second mate, and
George Keim and William Kelley, lamp
trlmmers. The bodies of the last three
men were recovered and brought to this
city by the steamer Hansel, which was in
sight of the Brown at the time of the &C.
cident.
The survivors and injured were brought
here on the Hansel. The injured were
conveyed to the Marine Hospital, and are
all in a fair way to recovery. Owing to
the proximity of the Hansel and the quick
efforts at rescue many lives were saved
that otherwise would have been lost.
Captain Keim of the Harry Brown, al
though seriously injured, remained on the
afterpart of the cabin of the Brown where
he had been blown by the explosion after
it had hoated off the hull, which had sunk.
He was perfectly cool and directed the
efforts of the men who were saving the
boats crew. The captain does not know
the cause of the explosion. Captain Keim
and Pilot Dan Kane were in the Browns s
pilot-house when the explosion occurred
Five men were badly injured.

CROWDTNG 10 THE FRONT.
John Adams of Butler, Desires to be
the Youngest Representative.

Word comes from FL Dorado Butler
county, that John Bunyan Adams is a
candidate for the Republican nOmina-
ton for representative from that cOun-
ty against the present representative,
J. NJ. Satterthwaite.
The young man is q native of Butler
county and has lived in Augusta all his
lie, p years. He comes from the old
Adams family of Massachusetts and
has a splendid education.
Mr.. Adams has already achieved some
fame in his part Of the state as a for
chile writer and good speaker He is
constantly in demand as a Fourth Of
July and Memorial day orator and has
mingled in county politics more or less
The fame of this young man comes
from a different source, however than
Fourth of July OratOns. 1t was he,
who, in 1880, when the Farmers Ali
ance spread over Kansas, denounced it
as a political ring and rebel conspi-
racy." He did this through the medi-
UNI of the Walnut Valley Times. The
Alliance was especially strong in Butler
county, and much bitterness was
aroused, but the young man refused to
back down and still further continued
his work by articles to the Chicago
press and the press of his county.
Adams is a sincere admirer of John J.
Ingalls,, and it is on this issue he will
make his fight for the nomination for
representative, and if he be successful
and comes to the legislature he will
certainly be a prominent figure next
winter at the state capitol besides be
ing an earnest worker for the AtchisOn
statesman

DUPREE GETS . YEARS.
Judge Hazen Thinning Out the Color
ed Burglars and TOughs.

The young colored burglar of the Mod
ell Supply store, who was shot by Watch
man jenkins, Will Dupree, brought up
against a very gnarled snag in the dis
trict court today when he tried to claim
he was only is years old in order to get
a sentence to the refOrmatory instead
of the penitentiary.
Judge Hazen didn't have much faith
in Dupree's assertion, and his opinion
was strengthened when Frank Herald
arose and said that he thought Dupree
registered once when Herald was com
sioner of elections.
Frank Whitaker, the deputy commits
siOner hunted up the records and found
Dupree had been to the Office to regis
ter, but was not permitted to on account
of his youth
Joseph Ensminger, formerly police
judge, said Dupree had been before him
a half dozen times.
Chief of Police John Gardiner was
sent for and showed that when Dupree
was arrested for the burglary he gave
his age as 10.
Il haven't any doubt that you are
that old said Judge Hazen to Dupree,
you can't fool anybody on that You
We're convicted of burglary in the sec
Ond degree, breaking into store build
ing at night, and the least sentence for
this is five years viii give you the
minimum punishment"
DUnree returned to the jail rather bet
ter humored than he left.
