Lurid Kidnaper Story.

Springfield, Ills, Aug. There is
now every reason TO believe that all
those injured In Sundays explosion of
gun at Camp Lincoln will ultimately
recover, but Corporal BaSley and Pri-
vate Rupert will never be the strong and
hardy men they were before the acct
dent, and like Privates Stevens and
Sharp will be disfigured for life. The
court of inquiry held sessions yester-
day and adjourned late last night to
meet this morning. All the captains
of the First cavalry were examined
and asked to give an account of their
men at the time the accident occurred.
This action was the result of a state
ment made by boy named Waldron,
residing at the corner of Thirteenth
and Jackson, who declared that a
lighted cigarette was thrown into the
powder on the ground beneath the
mouth of the cannon, and that cav
alryman threw it. Waldron was sent
for, but could not be found yesterday,
and for that reason corrt adjourned.
The regular governors day cere-
monies on Thursday may be aban-
