Their Escape :. MIRACLE.

PARIS, Aug. 19.-During the artil-
lery practice OF tue French Meditterra-
mean squadron yesterday, Oft Tou!on,
says dispatch from that city, Admi-
raj Geryals and his staff had u narrow
escape. Instead of aiming at target
which was being towed 500 yards be-
hind the flagship Brennus, battleship
of II, 900 tons displacement, the cruiser
Vaulour turned her quick lire guns
on the flagship for some time. The
shots ralned around Admiral Gervals
and his staff and their escape was a
miracle. The glass in the Admiral s
coming tower was riddled and sail
or was wounded. There is much mys-
terry as to how The MS IKE occurred as
it IS thought impossible .nat the gun
ners could have missed Tie mark by

This morning the alarm went of, arous-
i1.g Mr.. Adams and his son, William.
They armed themselves-the farther

with a Winchester and proceeded to
the store. William Adams stationed
himself in front of the store, while
his father went to the rear of the build
ing. Both encountered fighting burg
lars. AS result, two burglars
were shot, one probably fatally, and
captured, and two escaped, one of
whom IS wounded. The elder Adams

The burglars secured no booty. A fine
kit of burglars tools was found IN the

Nearly Killed the Umpir

HELENA. Ark, Aug. IA game
of baseball played at Poplar Grove
yesterday between colored teams for a
stake of five dollars broke up in q
pitched battle between the opposing
teams, in which two boys were fatally
shot and four others moro or less
wounded. Negro boys from the Polk
and the Lowdy plantations constituted
the teams. William Griffin, the um-
pire and an adherent Of the Polk side,
held the stakes. In the third inning
Griffin gave the Lowdy team the hot
end of close decision and the ag-
grieved team, led by Israel Tate,
made rush for the umpire and his
son, who was acting as otlicial scorer.
The umpire was prepared for the at
tack, however. He opened a valise
and passed pistols to members of the
Polk team and the battle began. Is
rael Tate was the only man on the
Lowdy team that had gun, but he
did effective work. He emptied his
pistol into the Polk team, reloaded
and emptied It again. He is credited
with having shot four men.

BRYAN Challenges Mckinley.

UPPER RED Hook, N. y, August
2O.-William Jennings Bryan threw
down the guantlet to-day to Major
Mckinley. 1t was dignilied chal-
lenge, for in it he refused to discuss
the issues OF the campaign with any
person except the one that stands MS
equal in os1ice-seeking ambition. He
was asked If he intended to answer
Mr.. Cochran, and said in answer that
he was receiving many invitations
from prominent men to debate the sill
yer question. In order to avoid fur
ther invitation Of this nature he said
he would not consider any PROPOSE
ton to debate any question with any
body during the campaign unless a
debate be arranged between Mr.. Nc
Kinley and himself. and be added
that so far as he knew no plan for
sucha debate was under consideration
by either national committee.

Officer Ordered to Suicide.

New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch
10 The Recorder from Havana says
that Captain General Weyler and
General Ochando were the principals
in sensational affair which occurred
shortly before the lotter sailed for
Spain. It seems that General Ochan-
dos nephew, who was a lieutenant in
the Spanish army, was the cause OF
the trouble. There were ugly rumorS
in circulation rejecting on the young
lieutenant. It was alleged that he
was conducting a reasonable cores
pondence with Maximo Gomez, the
insurgent chief. When Weyler
heard of the rumors he summoned the
young man to the palace and ques-
toned him. Weyler was apparently
satisfied of the young mans guilt AMI
told him if he did not commit suicide
within twenty-four hours he would be
courtmartialed and shot. The lieu,
tenant left the palace, went to his
room and in six hours was corpse,
having shot himself through the
heart.
Shortly afterwards General Ochan.
do arrived in Havana and learned the
true story of his nephew's death.
Orchando was greatly enraged and
Immediately went to the palace to call
Weyler to account. The meeting OF
the generals was sensational. Ochan'
do denounced Weyler in the bitterest
terms, alleging thatthe lieutenant was
guiltless and had been driven to his
death. Ochando termed Weyler
murderer and butcherer and challeng.
ed him to duel. The men drew
swords and would have fought in the
palace but for the interference OF
other officials. Two days later Gener,
al Ocnando sailed for Spain. He is
greatly enraged and says that he will
make the affair public when he reach.

Munson, one OF the prominent free
silver Republicans of the State, a
brother of Judge Munson aud a journ-
alist here, addressed.the following let
ter yesterday to Senator Sherman:
"Your close political associates and

Mr.. Bryan denies, and as he is an
honest man l believe him. And now,
Senator Sherman, few words to you.
For years I have watched your career,
and am aware that you only carried a
chain for the surveyors on the Mus
kingum River improvement, and hon
or you for that, as it was honest toll.
You have been before the publicin va
rious capacities for three dozen years.
In that time you have held office con-

A Foollsh NsWsboy's Fate.

PHILADELPHIA, August l9.-As The
result OF an attempt to see how many
cigarettes he could smoke in half an
hour and to win q wager fourteen
year-old George T. Elwell died today.
Last evening number of neWsboys
were talking of cigarette smoking, and
one of the crowd urged Elwell to see
how many he could smoke in half an
hour. A small wager was made and
two packs Of cigarettes were purchas-
ed. The boy was lighting his twen
tieth cigarette when the half hour
was up. The lad was taken sick and
he died this morning. The coroner's
officials who investigated the case
said that death was due to excessive
cigarette smoking, and more directly
to the large number which the boy
had smoked yesterday.

from Savannah on a freight train.
Later in the day telephone message
was sent in from the Charlotte depot

Sloan was sent by Sergeant Jones to
look after him. Smith had a very,
high fever and was out Of his head.
Officer Sloan had him conveyed to the
Columbia Hospital, but he was refus-

Is said, that the Hospital only took
care of two ''pauper patient" at a
time. The sick man was next taken
to the Aims House, but again the
doors were shut upon him, Officer
Sloan being told that no one could be
admitted there except upon petition Of
two taxpayers. As Smith was serious
lyill and needed attention Immediately.
Officer Sloan had no time to hunt up
taxpayers, explain the circumstances
of the case to them and request their
signatures to a petition. Finally
Smith was taken to the old guard
house, which is anything but q suita.

man who knew of the facts in this
case got very hot under the collar
while discussing them yesterday.
He thought it an outrage that
man delirious with fever could
not obtain admission to the Hos

to the Hospital under the impression
that it would care for just such cases.
The city, he said made an appropriation
for the Hos pital and had the right TO
demand that at least emergency cases
be treated here.-Register.

King. the cotton expert, and who has
a correspondence with the entire cot,

yesterday:
in North Texas, not over one. third

fee the present needs OF The plant.
Notwithstanding the recent show,
ers we do not hesitate to advance the
opinion that the great monster crop
of '96, that was to be, has surely mis-
carried and the crop that was sold IN
May and June for len million bale

TheCotron Crop.

Tue New Ofleans Pic4gune says
never perh aps in the history OF the
COTTON trade has there been SO rapid u
deterioration in the condition of the
crop as has taken place within the
past few weeks. Whsn tue Govern
ment report was issued iu Juna prac-
tically ideal condition prevailed. In

issued yesterday, showed q condition
as low as. 80 per cent, the loweat
August, condition 10 years, with tue
single exception OF that of last year,
when the August condition Was "a. 81
per cent. OF course. there are many
things whicn may yet lnhoence the.
final result OF the ecrop, either lnthe
way OF further damaging it or by re-
trievving, through impro2emeats--ifG1
meteorological condition, some OF
the ground lost. IL is impossible
10 disguise the fact thai consler-
able damage has been done,
and the big crop estimates which were
entertained some weeks. ago, must, OF
course, be laid aside. AT this early
date it would be the sheerest folly ~
attempt to estimate the hnat yield. An
open fall might greatly improve the
prospects, whllea bad picking season or
an early frost might further curlail the
outturn. 1t seems reasonably certain,
however, that the burden OF the proof
will, for the rest of the season, be upon
the large crop theoriats, with the gen
eral tendency towards better prices in
stead of the other way, as looked prob
able enough some weeks back.

Eour Killed in q Fight.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 19-Con-
Aicting accounts have reached here OF
shocking mountain battle which
took place on Saturday evening at a
remote neighborhood in Elliott Coun-
ty at Burning Spring Baptist Church.
The county is one of the most inacces,
sible in the State, lying out OF the
reach OF the telegraph, and hence par
ticulars are meagre. -Four men were
killed and nine wounded, some very
dangerously, but all their names are
not known. Two families, the Whitts
and tbs Harrrises, were involved, and
an o,d fead is responsible. The at
tendance o. the association meetings
~~ss very large, many churchs being
repres> lied and the mountain people
having come tscr thirty and thirty i've
miles aroun, Several members OF
each family we present, and there is
little doubt ths. l.a light was premedI,
tated. 1t bean With James Harris
striking William Whit across the
back with switch They were in
the churcl at the time, and the WhiltS
were seated on a belch two rows in
front OF the Harrises. When William
was touched he turned and angrily
dared James "to try that again" OF
course the challenge was accepted, /,
and sharp, singing cut across the
face followed. Instantly the fight be-
gan with whatever weapons were at
hand and without regard to the pres
ence of others. Pistols. knives, clubs
and stones were used, and a stampede
of all not concerned took place. In
the wild rush many were trampled
down .Ld seriously injured, but this
did not step The combatants. Two OF
those killed were shot and the other
two were XII led with knives. Sever
al of the wounded were fatally hurt.
While these were lying on the ground,
writhing, the injured members of the
victorious gang, the Wnltts, kept
guard and prevented aid being rem
dered. Others of the same gang were
riding around swearing that the
wounded must be allowed to die, and
the sooner they died the better look
ing corpses they would make. ltwas
some time before they were paci1ied
and left the field. The Whit family
is large one, and they swear they
will exterminate the Harrises. Late
reports by way of Grayson say that
Charley Whit was shot through the
back and the ball penetrated the
bowels. He will surely die before
many hours. William Whit was
was SHOT in the breast and the physl-
clans say the wound is fatal.

Spikes on the Rails.

CARRoLLToN, o., Aug. 20.--An en-
CINE on the Cincinnati, Columbus and
Springfield railroad, hauling four cars
of coal and a caboose, jumped the
track one mile south Of here last even
ing. 1t rolled down the embankment
striking two mammoth oak trees.
This prevented the caboose, with 26
section men aboard, from following.
Joseph Kirk, engineer, and John
Hardesty, fireman, both of Canton,
were instantly killed. Investigation
this morning developed the fact that
the wreck was caused by three rail
road spikes which some small boys
had placed on the outside rail at the
curve where the train was derailed.
