ago, after sojourning in the Valley
several weeks. visiting old-time places
and seeing friends of the long ago.
Mr.. K. twenty-five years ago vas a
frequent visitor to this section; he was
sson the road" then, and his genial
temperament and versatility made him
a welcome guest everywhere. On his
return, after an absence of a quarter
of a century, his old acquaintance had
dwindled to only a friend here and
there. Many he had known in the
earlier days had passed to the Great
Beyond; others had sought their for
tunes in far-of lands, and the few re-
naming were, if not in the sere and
yellow leaf of age, visibly on the
do~wn-grade of life. Nevertheless, Mr..
Kretschmar, who yet bears his years
almost with the sprightliness of youth,
passed his time so pleasantly that he
will probably at no distant day become
al least a summer dweller in the Valley,
and the REGISTER hopes that this con-
summation may result.

SUNDAY WELL KEPT HERE.

The Rev. w. s. Bovard said to q re-

occasion ON Sunday, when preached In

the city which are said to be the worst
sections. had been led TO believe
by what 1 had been told and by
the statements made by some public
speakers, that ths conditions in these sec
tions, especially on Sunday, were deplor-
able. would not have been astonished
to have found this true, but was pro-
foundly Impressed by what L saw. 1t
was as quiet as a churchyard everywhere
/ went. The streets were desqrted, there
were no shops or saloons open that
could see, there was no noise in any Of
the houses, and In fact more quiet
sabbath could not have been asked for.
Comparing what saw In these sections
with what 1 have seen In some of the
Western cities, l believe that Sunday is
as well observed In the sections VIII ere
one would not expect 1t as 1t Is In any
city l have ever known. In fact, think
that the conditions here are far better
than they are in great many places.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
One Person Was Killed and Four Were
 Seriously Wounded.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 22.-One person was killed and four seriously injured by a terrible explosion of collodium in the photographic supply establishment of Thomas M. McColln and company, on South Eleventh street, today. The dead man is Herman Weiss, aged 19. The more se- riously injured are George w. Nicholas, August Hauser Reed, a fireman, and John A. Granton. The building was almost en- tirely wrecked, and the adjoining structure occupied by V. Clark & Sons of hotel ranges and kitchen supplies was also badly damaged by the force of the explosion. There were over 100 persons in the Clad when the explosion occurred the sixth floor of the McCollin building. The force of the explosion blew out the north wall of the building, and the heavy mass crashed through the roof of the Clad structure.
 The explosion set the McCollin building on fire, and the work of rescuing the other oc- cupants of the two structures was carried on with difficulty. While the fii-emen were searching the lower part of the McCollin building, the third floor gave way under the weight of heavy machinery, and car ried two firemen with it to the second floor. One was rescued unscathed. The oth- er Daniel Reed, was taken out with a frac- tured leg. The total damage to the two buildings and contents is about $75,O0o.

SAILOR KILLED
Was Boatswain's Mate of the U. g. Gun
 boat Machias

Galveston, Tex, March 22.-Michael Mel igan, boatswains mate of the United States gunboat Machas was shot and fa- tally wounded 6:45 o'clock this evening at the Fremont street ferry landing. He died at Sealy hospital at o'clock. His brother Edward, first-class fireman of the cruiser New York, was shot in the lip. H. M. Ward. master of the Gulf and Interstate Railroad company's steamer Lawrence is under arrest.
 The jackies were entertained at an oys- ter roast this evening. When they return ed to the dock the tug which brought them ashore was not there to take them back to their vessel, so they attempted to ne- gotiate with the Lawrence to take them, but the master declined because of the heavy fog and rough sea. He claims that about 25 of them attempted to take pos session of the steamers engines and wheel and that he drove them off twice, but they made third attempt which resulted in the shooting. The dead man was 35 years of age. He leaves a widow in Boston. The police arrested dozen tackles. They were intoxicated and were drenched from stand ing in the rain.

ERNIE VS. GAN 5.
Big Fight for Title and Purse Comes Off
 Tonight

New York, March 22.lTomorrow night Frank Erne of Buffalo, lightweight champ ion of tne world, and Joe Cans of Balti- more will meet in the Broadway Athletic club in 25-round contest for the title and the winners end of the receipts-about $7,5OO. On the past performances of the two men it is safe to predict that it will be one of the hardest battles ever fought for the title. Erne is conceded to be one of the fastest and cleverest boxers Tn the ring today He has had a long and sue cessful career in the ring, and won his title of champion by defeating Kid Lavigne. Cans has distinguished himself lately by defeating Spike Sullivan, George McFad- den, Spider Kelly, the Pacific coast light weight champion; Eugene Bezeneh, Bill Erust, Jack Daily, Kid Mcfarland Stan ton Abbott, Jerry Marshall and Dal flaw kins. Like Erne he is a remarkable sci entifc boxer. He is stiff puncher and has the quality of a good fighter.
 The prevailing price is $100 to $S0 on Cans. but some big wagers have been made at $100 to s7O, notably one of 5000 to $1 400.

HORRIBLE DEATH
 OF YOUNG WOMAN Her Body GaShed With Knives and Her Clothing Set
 on Fire

Wadesboro, N. C., March 2.-Particu- lars were received here today of a crime committed in Chesterfield county few days ago and mentioned yesterday in the Associated Press dispatc tches. Cassie Boone, a young woman of bad repute, was en- ticed from her home by four white men, carried to the woods near by and assaulted with knives. The woman was first gashed with knives in the fles[ny part of her body, the cuts being from four to twelve inches in length There were five such wounds. Then, with the blood flowing, the clothing of the poor creature was set on fire, and she was released in the woods to run screaming until she fell, crying for help. A small braid around the forehead was the only shred of clothing left on her body. She was 20 years old, and a daughter of George Boone, a small farmer, with whom she lived. She was one-quarter Indian.
 The girls reputation is said to have not been good. Last Sunday evening she left her nome with Sam Woodward and went to visit neighbor Nothing more was heard of her until she was seen Monday n5gnt running through the woods. Doss Jackson, John Jackson, Alb Kirkly and Jim Werner reported that they heard the screaming, and, collecting a crowd, went into bhe Woods and found the girl Some one threw an overcoat over the dying woman and then sent Gor help. She was dead when doctor arrived.
 The Jacksons and a man named Steen were arrested and are now in tatl They refuse to talk, but 1t Is said that Steen has confessed his share in the crime and will turn states evidence

CAsTLEMAN TO THE FRONT
The Democratic Adjutant General Goes
 to Frankfort

Louisville, Ky, March 22.-Adjutant-Gen- eral John B. Castleman, who arrived in Louisville from Frankfort at noon today, left again tonight for the capital. General Casteman was accompanied by no soldiers, and boarded the train alone. Although he declined to say what brought him to Louis- vile for such brief visit, 1t is understood that he came to take the newly organized Beckham guards to Frankfort to preserve the peace during the trials of Secretary of State Powers and the other prisoners ae- cused of being accessories to the murder of Governor Goebel.
 Late in the day, however, 1t Is said Gen. eral Castleman received information that there would be no organized force of noun tain men at Frankfort tomorrow, and he decided that the company of soldiers from Lexington would be sufficient to preserve order during the trials.
