Reports from men who have been on the

buying among country merchants, once
the crops are in.
The favorable conditions which local
wholesalers contem plate are: First, the
utter exhaustion of stock by out-of- town
merchants, who were unwilling to buy
during the depression incident TO the
campaign; second. the enormous in
crease in the amount of money
owing to favorable crops and the
increased value of 1arm products; third,
the advantage to country merchants OF

dorf, Rhenish Prussia, about twenty miles
north of Cologne, on the right bank of the
Rhine. The German official at Dover
who liberated the birds heard of their ar
rival six hours afterward.
The incident led to a question in the
House of Commons last evening. The
Hon. st. John Broderick, Under Secretary
of War, replying, said the matter was un-
der consideration, adding that Germany
would scarcely tolerate similar trial Of
British pigeons.
The comments of the press on the sub
ject are heated, one paper suggesting that
the next pigeons sent from Germany
should be thrown into the sea, and the
German official accompanying them
thrown in after them. One hundred of
the liberated birds belong TO the Kaiser.

Sad Effects OF Overlooking an
Automatic Machine In an East
ern Armory.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. July 2I-Four
women and two men were killed to-day
by an explosion in tie loading depart
ment of the armory OF the winchester
Repeating Arms Company.
Two men were fatally injured and at
least dozen seriously in jured.
The dead are:
WILLIAM F. BAUMER.
MRS. MARY BAUMEISTER.
MISS JOSIE BRENNAN.
MISS IDA BROWN.
WILLIAM HILL.
MISS TRACY CONROY.
Fatally injured:
George Barderof.
Edward Barderof.
The explosion occurred in the loading
room.
Employed in this room were $50 hands,
two-thirds of them women and girls.
Nearly all of the female hands are en-
ployed on the loading machines.
The full complement of hands was at
work in the room when the explosion
took place. Forty feet of the side of the
building was blown out and fragments of
human bodies were scattered in every di-
rection.
All available physicians, the fire depart
ment, the police, the ambulance and hos
pltal corps were speedily summoned.
Narrowing scenes were enacted as the vast
throng ongregated about the place. The
victims who were alive were made as COM
Portable as possible and conveyed with all
possible speed to their homes
Two of the bodies had been decapitated
Others had been partially torn asunder,
and still others had been disme m bered.
The Winchester Company aided in every
way to perfect relief.
John Baumeister was but recently mar
RED. At the time of the ex plosion he was
at work but few feet from his wife, who
was killed.
The cause of the explosion has not been
determined. 1t may have been due TO
cartridge improperly placed in the load
ing machine. Edward Barderof died
after being taken TO the hospital.
Ida Brown, one of those killed, came
from Detroit, Michigan.
I. G. Bennett, president of the COM
panv, said:
I'VE have been running automatic load
Ing machines for more than twenty years,
and this is the first time that any one has
been injured in their use. Since the adop-
ton OF these machines we have had no
accident IN the use of black gunpowder"
Mr.. Bennett expressed the belief that,
through the carelessness of the operator
or powder boy, tn. machine that ex-
ploded had been overcharged.
