10 thc fact that although the city is

The city's population goes, above the
10000 figure, and if half this number

line Sunday. sections and pastors alike
would be surprised and. possibly Per-
picked. That the churches of Water
vile and all of our cities for that mat
ter. are not well filled is a matter Of
much palmer and hriefer statement
than is the combination of causes
that contribute to this result. Some
general .easons are patent to all OBJ
servers. In the first place there are
not few people who work SO hard
during the week that they are content
to make their sabbath conform pretty
strictly to one ut least of the original
purposes OF the day--that of rest.
There is a closely allied class Of those,
who look for recreation rather than
rest alOEe. from the Sabbath This
class is larger in summer than in WIN
ter, inasmuch as outdoor life is more
attractive iii the one season than the
other i'll our climate. But the causes
thus far named are inconseuucntia,
compared with two othcrs-a lack Of
religious interest. and the engrossing
occupation of reading Sunday nevs-
papers and other equally light ma tier.
With plenty CT agreeable entertain
ment thus furnished at home, the ay-
erage adult man goes to church either
because of force of habit, or impa,letl
by religious sentiment. If both these
motives are lacking, he does not go
and 50 we see the congregations of our
churches made up Tor the most part
of women and children. This state of
affairs ought to he changed. There

junction City, Kans., Aug. 19.-While
at target practice about o'clock this
morning on Fort Riley reservation,
half a mile north of this city, a seven
inch 1O7-pound shell exploded as it was
being placed in the breech of a section
gun of siege Battery o, Seventh Artil-
lerv. commanded by Capt. Van Dusen.
Casualties: Henry G. Watson, killed;
John ]. King, fatally injured; Murray
Sykes. fatally injured; Charles Duncan,
fatally injured; Henry Logsdon, Sc
riously injured; Dennis Mahoney,
painfully injured: Recruit Lloyd, Sc
riously injured; Roos Duck, slightly
injured; James Brady, slightly injured.
The big siege battery of four guns
has been on the target range north of
this city since Wednesday of last week.
This morning the usual practice was
in progress. The 107-pound shell had
been put into the third section gun, and
Private Watson was iramming the shell
home when there was a terrific explo-
sion and the headless body of Waston
was seen standing perfectly erect for
almost fifteen seconds. Then it moved
as if to step, and fell, slightly on the
back with the shoulders toward the
and a brother and sister in South Car
olina. He enlisted at Savannah, Ga.
Private Joe King had both arms torn
off and lost both eyes, and is dead. He
was from New Jersey.
Private Murray Sykes had portion
of his skull torn off and his right eye
badly injured.
Charles Duncan was seriously but
not fatally wounded. He is from near
Wichita.
Henry Logsdon is from London, KY.
His body is badly hurt. and he may be
blinded by powder burns.
Dennis Mahoney, native of Boston,
was hit in the mouth by fragment of
shell and lost several teeth.
Recruit Lloyd. who recently joined
the battery from Jackson, Tenn, had
his left forearm blown off and right
eye badly burned.
The wounded men were taken at
once to the hospital where medical at
tendance could be given.
The Number of Dead.
Private King died tonight.
Private Murray Sykes of New York
City, is expected to die at any mo-
ment.
Private Watson killed to-day is from
Waco Tex.
Unless unexpected complications set
in the remainder will recover. 1t will
not be necessary to remove the right
eye of Sergt. Dennis Mahoney. Not
withstanding the accident to-day the
battery will go out for practice in the
morning as usual.

THE CAPTAINS DEATH.
Refused to Remain in Overloaded
Life Raft.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. ia special to
the Times from Victoria, B. c., says:
The steamer Queen left for Seattle at
9 o'clock, carrying a number of sur
vivors of the wreck. and the Farallon
is expected soon. Purser Bishop is ex-
pected on the Farallon with list of
the dead. The death of Capt. Foote
was very pathetic. He remained on
the bridge until the steamer was foun-
dering. When the vessel commenced to
sink and it was seen that no expedient
could avail, the captain, it is said,
jumped into the life raft, which was al
ready taxed. Realizing that his weight
would work havoc there, he exclaimed:
II see there are too many here, so
good bye, boys and swan away.
He was shortly afterward seen to
sink.
Chief Engineer Brownlee had a mi
raculous escape. He was asleep and
was awakened by Third Engineer AL
len ringing his bell. He ran to the en-
gine room. There two fireman died like
heroes soon after he arrived. They
were ordered to close the top wheel
and shut off the water, which was
rushing in. They tried to do so and
were drowned. Brownlee went with
the steamer and was standing on the
upper deck holding the top rail when
the steamer slid down by the head. He
rose from the whirlpool and grasped
some wreckage.
Total Number of Dead AZ.
Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 19.-The
steamer Farralon arrived here this
evening from Skagway, bringing the
remainder of the passengers who mar
rowly escaped from the wreck of the
Islander.
The total number of dead is placed
at forty-two although the Farralon did
not bring an official list of the drowned.
According to the statements of pas
sengers arriving to-day, very few peo-
pie died on board the steamer, but
most of them perished in the water and
around the RATS and ship as the latter
went down.

ALABAMA CONVENTION.
Section Leaving Corporation Control
to Legislature Copied From Geor-

to Legislature Copied From Geor-
gia.
Montgomery, Ala. Aug. 19.-The Con-
stitutional Convention to-day resumed
consideration of the article on corpor-
ations and all but three sections were
completed.
The chief subject of discussion was
a report by the minority of the COM
mittee which sought to prohibit build
ing and loan associations from charg-
ing greater than per cent, the local
rate of interest, in Alabama. The
adoption OF this report would have
practically resulted in debarring these
associations from doing business in
this state. The minority report was
defeated.
1t was expected that some radical
change would be made in the Railroad
Commission, but the report of the com
mittee, which leaves the control of in
corporations to the Legislature was
adopted. The section adopted was cop
led from the Georgia Constitution.
An innovation was the addition of
the section which provides a penalty
for members of the Legislature or ju-
dicial officers from accepting free rail-
road passes. The official convicted of
accepting such transportation is to
forfeit his office.

TRAFFIC UNRESTRICTED.
So Colombian Minister Informs Sec
retnrN Hay.

Washington Aug. 19.-Dr. Silva, the
to-day with Secretary Hay. 1t was
the first personal exchange between
the secretary and the representative
of Colombia since the present distur-
bance started. DIR. Silva gave Mr.. Hay
information to the effect that traf-
fic on the Isthmus was entirely unob-
structed and also assured him of the
ability of Colombia to keep the traf-
fic open. The assurance given by DR..
Silva make clear certain features of
the situation. First, there is no inter-
ruption of traffic at the present time,
Colombia giving official assurance of
this, and the United States having no
advices from its representatives show
ing an actual stoppage of traffic within
recent days.
Second both governments are agreed
that the first responsibility for main
tanning free traffic is on Colombia, and
that the United States is not called
upon to act until Colombia finds her
self unable to fulfill the primary re-
0POAiSiDlllhJ.
Third, the United States undoubted-
ly will judge for itself when any oc-
casion arises for exercising its author
ity on the isthmus. A request from Co.
lonbia would be strong evidence that
such occasion had arisen. But it is not
essential to await a request or notice
from Colombia, although such COM
munication undoubtedly would receive
the fullest consideration. The actual
conditions as to whether traffic is
open or closed will determine
finally whether there is any
occasion for the exercise of force by
the United States.
When seen after his visit to the state
department. DR.. Silva expressed HIM
self as highly satisfied with assurances
given him by Mr. Hay that the United
States would not take a hand in af-
fairs on the isthmus unless a request
came from the Colombian government
itself or else the need of intervention
became so apparent as to make a re-
quest unnecessary.
