DEADLY EXPLOSIVE STOLEN.
Forty Pounds OF Primer Taken From
the Winchester Company.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 1S.-The Off
cials of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company and the police of the city fear
some mysterious explosion. The reason
for this uneasiness dates back TO last
Wednesday night. when thieves entered
the shops of the Winchester Company
and carried away forty pounds of primer
1t is difficult to understand now the
thieves could have accomplished their
work undiscovered. The night shift cult
work at o'clock IN the morning and
the shops were quiet until O'Clock, with
the exception of the nourly visits of the
watchmen. When the day shift came
the loss of the primer became known at
once, and the report of the theft caused
great CONSERVATION at the office The
officials of the company could not believe
at first that any one would be so fool
hardy as to commit such a dangerous
depreciation.
OF all the explosives used at the shop.
primer is, by far, the most deadly 1t is
handled With the utmost care by the en-
ployes. but in spite OF all efforts there
have been many explosions in the depart
ment, some of them resulting fatally
Careful search and minute investigation
revealed the fact that the theft of forty
pounds of the explosive was a reality.
1t requires almost no exertion to ex-
plode primer, and few grains is suf-
ficient to create the greatest havoc. A
minute quantity is used on an ordinary
cap Had the primer been stolen by
persons Wishing merely booty of value,
1t would seem that some other depart
ment would have been entered and differ
ent goods removed. The general opinion
among those best fitted to know is that
the primer was taken by persons who
knew exactly what it was and that the
theft was committed with a definite OBJ
ject.
1t is suggested that the primer has
been stolen by persons well acquainted
with it's composition and use and sold to
some rival concern for analysis. An
other theory is that in view of its deadly
and effective work lin the past few
months it has been secured for analysis
by some foreign government.
1t is on these lines that the police are
working. No trace has been found that
any of it has been shipped out Of town.

DR.. A. II. Wilmer, assistant superin-
tendent, was very reticent when qnes-
toned about the condition of insane vol
unteers who were brought to the asylum.
In answer to a direct question as to the
probable causes of neglect while in camp
he answered: "The volunteer medical au-
thorities in the army cannot be expected
to care for these patients as do the regu-
lars who make a business of it
DIR. Godding refused emphatically to
give out the names or condition of any
of the other volunteers who were brought
here from camps in an insane condition
Still Another Case.
One case, that of a private In the Sixth
Illinois Regiment. is due solely to the
neglect of the medical officials of the Sec
ond Army Corps. This man, who is n
Swede, was allowed to lie in mis- tent for
nearly week while at Camp Alger, in
a delirium caused by over exerticn, while
drilling in the sun. Col. Girard, the chief
surgeon. did not consider him Ill enough

With Gov. Tanner.
The decision of Gov. Tanner. of Illinois,
that the battleship named after his State

stead of water has sadly disappointed
the w. C. T. U. throughout the country.
but owing to the fact that the organiza-
ton agreed to abide by his decision, it is
unlikely that the matter will be agitated
much further.
In local temperance circles indignation
at the decision runs high, and the COM
pliments which the governor pays to the
Union are lost sight of in the feeling of
chagrin that the fight has been lost.
No member of the association would al

she will again be addressed upon the sub
