not seek or want the vindicatioa Of a nom

UNDER AVALANCHE OF IRON.
One Workman Crushed and Another
Fatally Hurt.

CAMDEN, n. J., May 24.-Workmen
were engaged yesterday in moving a huge
iron tank of many tons weight on rollers
at the American Nickle Works. Arthur
Alscheka had a crowbar. which he used
as a wedge 10 prevent its slipping back
while the other workmen pushed on it.
No one seemed to think of any danger
but the CTOWDar slipped and the big tank
started back and before Alscheka could
get out of the way he was rolled out fat
as paper.
Herman Vennell was fatally hurt in try
ing to save Alscheka- He got his cTOwbar
to bearing and threw all his weight 20
stop the tank. For few seconds II looked
as though he would win, for the tank
seemed to stop just as it reached the head
of the PROSTATE AIscheka- The next in
slant il lurched forward, throwing VenneII
down and breaking both his arms.

New Leadership in Kentucky.-
Kentucky Republicans appear to be pre-
pairing 20 relieve themselves OF Taylor and
OF Eannaism at one sweep by nomina inl;
for Governor the Hon. John W. Yerkes. Of
Danyille. Mr.. Yerkes is a member OF the
Republican National Committee and a-so
internal revenue collector OF his district.
But he is not a Hannaite- He is more in
innate with the Bradley element than with
the crowd which nominated Taylor last
year at the behest Of Mr.. Hanna. Yerkzs
is a lawyer Of hiEh staining. and a man Of
bread influence in the Blue Grass State
He is related TO the BreCkinrfdges and
other old families of Kentucky. The Demo-
Gratis realize that he is capable Of making
a stronger fight against them than is any
other Republican in the State In view
of the fact that the election in Novem-
Der largely will be under the supsrvis Oh
OF the Federal authorities, it is likely
that the guberratoriaI contest with Yerk- s
as the Republican lsader will he closer
that 1t would be if Taylor or some mem
Der Of his faction we're nominated, or il
the election were held wholly under the
supervision Of the State authorities. It
is considered 10 be not impossible that the
nomination Of Yerkes BY the ReDEblf-ans
may cause a change in the Democratic
programme. Governor Beckham is 100
young to have acquired much skill as A
eampaigner, and il is believed that he
would be no match for Yerkes On the
stump The volatile Kentuckians are very
susceptible 10 stump oratory, and Il Is
possible that Beckham's shortcomings as a
lpellbincer might tell against linn in the
voting.

all cleared off the field within four
hours of the end of the engagement
and dispatched to the base within two
days. This was no doubt due to the
clean-cut and humane wounds inflicted
by the Mauser bullet. The British
Medical Journal states that the wounds
presented clean punch-out appear
ance. Being almost entirely free from
confusion and laceration." This Is good
news for the friends of the sufferers.
and explains the rapid recoveries which
are being made. Also, 1t Is said. that
out OF 300 wounds only eight were
caused by shell fire. the remaining be-
Ing due to Mauser bullets. This great
disproportion bears out the well-known
