DRANK DEADLY
ACID IN MISTAKE
Thought the Fiery Fluid Was Cordial,
and Death Relieved His
Suferings.

William Wallace Wilson, we'll known
employe of the Mutual Ice Company, lies
dead at his home, No. COS South First
Street, as the result Of taking, by mis-
take, d large dose Of carbolic acid.
Mr.. Wilson went to his home yesterday
about O'Clock to his dinner, as is his
usual custom, and was lovingly greeted
by his wife and three small children.
After dinner he went TO a closet to take
a dose OF medicine that had been pre-
scribed for him for a cold. He took
what he believed to have been the usual
dose, but Immediately afterward noticed
the peculiar taste.
This medicine burns" he said to his
wife, who was near him.
She discovered the odor Of the acid, and
exclaimed:
My goodness, my dear, you have
taken carbolc acid.'
He would hardly believe he had made
such mistake at first, but his wife in
sisted, and gave some milk as an anti
dote. The milk failed to act however
and Mrs Wilson rushed out and scream
ed for assistance. The neighbors came
in and saw how Mr.. Wilson was suffer-
ing and the ambulance was sent for
But before it reached The home, Mr. Will
son was dead.
Coroner Taylor was notified. He ex-
amined the body. and after hearing of the
circumstances deemed an inquest TN
necessary, and pronounced death due to
an accident.
Funeral Director Biley took charge
of the remains, and prepared the body for
the funeral. which will be from the resi-
dence on Thursday afternoon, the hour
to be fixed later. The interment will be
in Mount Calvary.
Mr. Wilson was highly esteemed by
his employers, and had worked for them
about ten years. He was thirty-two
years old, and was well thought of by
all who knew him. Many friends and
acquaintances called at the home to ex-
press their sympathy.

PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.
Amendment Increasing Rank ofGen-
erals Miles and Corbin Non-Con-
Cured in, Though a Motion
Instructing Confecccs TO
Insist on Disagree
ment Was Lost.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-A tornado Of
partisan debate swept over the Senate to-
day, with Senators Hanna Of Ohio, Petit
grew of South Dakota, and Garter OF Mon
tana, participating. For bitter personall-
ties and for poignant invectives the DEBATE
exceeded anything heard on the floor OF
the chamber for many years. The lie was
not passed directly, but the truthfulness
of sta Elements was challenged very sharply.
Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia, precipitated the
scene by repeating a charge made several
days ago by Mr.. PettgreW, that Mr.
Cramp, the philadelphia ship-builder, had
contributed 100000 to the Republican cam
paign fund in 1892, with the understanding
that he would be reimbursed by contracts
for the construction OF warships for the
American navy.
This charge, Mr.. Bacon said, had been
denied neither by Mr.. Hanna, chairman
of the National Republican ommittee, nor
bv Mr.. Carter who was chairman of the
committee in 1892. Then the storm broke.
Mr. Hanna vigorously denied any knowl-
edge OF such a transaction, and expressed
his opinion that it was false. Mr. Garter
declared that the statement could be
branded only as lie.
TREMENDOUS SENSATION.
Mr. Pettigrew not only reiterated the
statement, but created a tremendous sem
sation by asserting tlat his authority was
no less a person than Mr.. Cramp himself,
and that in a conversation with Mr.. Carter
that Senator substantially had verified the
story He also attacked Mr.. Hanna Cela-
tive to his election to the Senate.
Mr. Hanna replied in kind, and ex-
pressed doubt of the South Dakotian's
sanity. Mr. Carter also vigorously de-
nounced the charges and Mr.. Pettisrew as
we'll.
Mr. Turner, of Washington, attacked the
administration of the Pension Department,
because, he said by its peculiar construc-
ton of the laws passed by a grateful
Congress it was denying just and proper
pensions 10 the old soldiers of tsle repub-
lie, their widows and orphans.
In his speech Mr.. Turner discussed
briefly almost every big question pending
before Congress.
The Chair laid the House antitrust bill
before the Senate, and it was read q second
time.
Mr.. Pettigrew moved to proceed with
consideration.
Mr.. Galiger moved to refer it to the
Committee on Judiciary. The latter mo-
ton, the Chair held, took precedent.
In brief speech Mr.. PettiSrew inquired
whether this bill was passed by the House
TO become a law or to be used as a club
to be held over corporations this summer
to get campaign contributions.
I'VE cannot deceive the country into the
belief, declared Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia,
that we are proceeding in good faith if
we give such direction to this bill as prac-
tically will destroy any chance Of action
upon it at this session. 1 think, and the
country will think, that the motion to
refer is an indirect method of defeating
the bill.

We started this morning at daybreak,

Yeomanry quickly dislodged them from
the south bank and pursued them nearly
a mile, when they found themselves un-
der heavy fire from guns which the 30
ers had placed IN a Wen concedied COIL
manding position
"Our heavy guns of the naval and royal
artillery, which had purposely been placed
in the front part of the column, were hur-
ried to the assistance of the mounted In
fantry as fast as oxen and mules could
travel over the great rolling hills sur
rounding Pretoria.
.The guns, supported by Stevens Bri-
gade of Pole-Carews' division, after few
rounds, drove the enemy from their po-
sitions.
..The Beers then attempted to turn our
left flank, in which tn ey were again foil

DROVE THEM BACK.
.As, however, they still kept pressing
our left rear. I sent word to Ian Hamil-
TON who was advancing three miles to
our left to incline toward us and fill
up the gap between the two columns.
This finally checked the enemy, who were
driven back toward Pretoria I hoped we
would have been able to follow them up,
but the days now are very short in this
part of the world and, after neary two
hours marching and fighting, we had to
bivouac on the ground gained during the
day.

 Probably there Is no game presided over by the rapacious tiger that appeals so keenly to the sporting blood of the eolored race, always excepting cock fight to the ceath, as the simple but soul-satisfying game of craps. It Is game of pure chance and insusceptible of the elements of skill and trlckery which enter into the other de- viations of the gamblers curriculum; and the latitude it offers for the display of learning in the conflict of charm and hoo deo, together with the opportunity 1t af- fcrds for weird ineantations so dear to the African heart, renders the denouement of the game recherche to the core.
