Runaway Accident.

Shortly before 7 o'clock last
Wednesday evening Theodore Knaack
was driving through the Seventh ward
on his way to his home near Affection,
when he lost control of his horses and
they ran away. Near the brickyard
of L. II. Cordes & Co. the team struck
the 16-months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Julius Draeger, of 1407 Third street,
severely injuring him about the head
and limbs. His skull was fractured
and his left arm and leg paralyzed.
On Thursday an operation was made
by Drs. Whyte and Field and the de-
pressed bone elevated, but the child
is still paralyzed and whether he re-
gains the use of the affected members
the future only will determine. Be-
fore the team could be halted in it's
wild flight Knaack was thrown from
the wagon, and the police being noti-
fed of the accident, he was brought
to the police station, when it was as
certained that, beyond his carrying
a good-sized jag. he was none the
worse for wear. The reckless driv-
ing of an intoxicated man was no
doubt the cause of this accident, and
it is the wonder of many that more
mishaps of such nature are not re-
corded.

Birthday Party.

The following taken from The Seda-
liza (Mo.) Democrat Of July % refers
to former well-known WatertOwn
young man, son of Mr. and Mrs. w.

his friends here:
At 8 o'clock last evening seventy
invited guests began to arrive at the
old postoffice building in Windsor, to
lend their presence at the reception
and banquet given by w. NJ. Sommer-
field in commemoration Of his thirty
eighth anniversary.
''Little Willie," as he is known by
all, is the popular and efficient station
agent for the M, K. & T. railway at
Windsor. For three years he has
been holding down this position, and
gained friends from the time he be-
came citizen. He is a gentleman
who is liked by all, and ''just to show
you he is good fellow, " he likes every
body.
Mr.. Sommerfeld's good wife had
prepared a splendid supper for his
friends, who, by the way, were wholly
men folks, and the guests seemed to
fully appreciate her efforte to please
The repast consisted of the best, in
both substantials and delicacies
''Little Willie spared no pains nor
expense in getting up this reception
and banquet, he having had refresh
ments to please the most fastidious.
Toasts to the health and happiness
of the host we're made by many of the
guests, who at late hour departed,
knowing that as an entertainer Little
Willie" could not be excelled at any
point. AS a token of esteem for him,
he was presented with a diamond shirt
stud, and he made a speech thank
ing his guests for the present.
May he live to see many happy re-
turns Of this anniversary, was the ex-
preston from everyone present.

ABANDONMENT OF ARMY POSTS.
Whipple Barracks Will Be Vacated This
Week and Others Will Be Later
(Denver Republican.)


Within the next few months several
posts in the Department of the Colorado
and the Department of the Missouri will
be abandoned by the War department.
The rapid manner in which the West
is being settled up and the gradual paci-
fcation of the Indians are the reasons
given by the War department officials in
Washington for the abandonment of
several garrisons in the two departments
lying between the Mississippi river and
the main range of the Rocky Mountains.
The Indians are gradually losing their
propensity for going on the war path at
the least provocation, and they do not
require the watching they once did.
Whipple Barracks, Arizona, will be
the first abandoned. Lieut.. Tupes is
now in command with squad of troops,
but he will leave there for Fort Grant
before next Sunday. The post will then
be turned over to a man named Grover,
an old post trader. who will watch the
government property until it is sold.
For short time the post will be occu-
pied by several companies of Arizona
volunteers, who have been ordered there
to drill until they are assigned to one of
the armies
In time Fort Apache and Fort Grant
both in Arizona. will be abandoned. AT
these two old posts few soldiers will
be retained in cases OF emergencies fol
the present.
| Fort Robinson and Fort Niobrara in
| Nebraska, as well as Fort Bayard in
New Mexico, are likely to be abandoned
within the next year.

ago during the past "a hours. The
Spanish authorities are taking time to
consider the proposition to surrender
and no answer can be made before noon
tomorrow. Our lines are now nearly
four miles long, enclosing the city on
two sides.
1t had been proposed that battalion
Of sharp shooters should be formed from
each regiment, the battalion to clear
the region near the army of the pestifer-
Gus guerrilas, who from the tree tops or
other covers make many attempts, some
successful, to assassinate wounded men
as they are being carried to the rear.
During the truce which has now lasted
four days, there has been none OF this
murder going on, and the American Off
GERS therefore conclude that the guer-
rillas have been engaged in this miserable
work under the direction or orders of the
Spanish leaders. Several commissions
from Spanish authorities to act as guer-
rillas have been picked up on the battle
field at San Juan and Ell Caney.

A GRUES0ME SPECTACLE.

Horrible Beyond Description.

of desolation, ruin, horror and death

the harbor of Santiago lies the Reina
Mercedes, sunk at midnight July 5.
Westward five miles from the harbOr is
the torpedo boat destroyer stuck
fast in the rocks, close in shore and bat
tered by the surf. The rocks jutting
out of the water in front of where she
lies. hide her hull from view. Her
davts and the top of her coming tower
alone mark her resting place. Visible
from the sea few miles further in the
inlet, embraced by two mighty arms of
black rocks that extend for half
mile into the sea, are the remains of
the twin cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa
and Almirante Oquendo, formerly the
pride OF the Spanish navy. Beyond lies
the Vizcaya, mass of ruins. and "a
miles away from Santiago the Cristobal
Colon lies helpless on her side with her
smoke stacks under water.
But the most CHASTITY, horrible sights
in these steel cof1ins are the mangled,
scared and charred bodies of hundreds
of brave sailors, sacrificed for their
country. Buzzards are feeding off the
dead and others are lowering over the
wrecks

New York, July IA Times dispatch
from Washington says the late stories
from Santiago about the engagement
between the fleets of Sampson hnd Ger

inconvenience caused the American
gunners by the use of old fashioned
smoking powder. Inquiry at the ord
nance bureau of the Navy department
as to the prospects of our warships be-
ing supplied with smokeless powder
elected the information that there is no
probability Of this being done generally
for considerable time. 1t appears that
the chief reason the navy was not sup
piled with smokeless powder at the
beginning of the war was that its ord
nance experts were not satisfied with
the powder used by other nations and
were experimenting. Powder of Amer
lean invention has been made by the
navy on an experimental scale which is
believed to be superior to that made
