Wonder if the South Carolina

abolition of the army canteen? One
would hardly think so, when their
State is so concerned in furnishing
its citizens with an abundance OF
official booze. Among the items in

we find an item of One-fourth Of 8

Explosion at Latin, Rand Powder
Works This Morning Wrecks
a Press Room.
LOSS is ESTIMATED AT $4,000.
Explosion Occurred at $40 This Morning
the V1llage-Fire Destroyed Powder
(From the Daily of Jan. 81

The first explosion at the Latin,
Rand Powder Mills occurred this
morning at 6:20, when press room No.
2 b1ew,sup. The report was a very
mild one, and no one at the village
knew there had been an accident, from
any shock that9was felt. No loss of
life occurred, and no one was injured.
It has been the custom not to run
this press at night, consequently no
men were around. Thespresses in this
building were in charge of ]. B. Flick
niger and sBen Stone, ane it was very
fortunate they were not working. The
explosion, however, might have been
prevented had they been there to as
certain theIcause, which is not known.
The building Cis completely wiped
out, what was left after the explosion
having been burned. The sheet iron
roof was blown off, In this building
the powder was tempered, and pressed
into cakes about one inch thick and
two feet, square. TheSpowder comes
to this building in dust form, and it
was this dust which blew up, while the
cakes burned up.
As all the dangerous buildings are
built very,1ight the resistance is slight,
therefore the SHOCK is mild. No men
are presentswhen the powder is under
going its most dangerous changes,
which generally are carried on at
night.
About five tons of powder in cake
form weresburned. The noise of the
explosion was not great and the con-
cussion every light, as there is very
little resistance to the buildings. The
sight of the explosion, with the debris
flying III the air, was sight to behold.
The pinkRand blue flame shooting in
the air one hundred feet or over, was
an awe-inspiring sight, and those who
saw it say It'll was the most beautiful
fireworks they ever saw, as the rehec-
ton cast aon the snow only made it
seem more than it really was.
The company have been exceedingly
fortunate sincesthe construction of the
mills. With force Of about fifty men
they run onesof the largest mills of the
kind in the country. The buildings
where each operation in the making of
powder is performed, are so widely
separated, Gas to make it possible for
only bodybuilding to go up at once.
AS there are only two or three men
working in building at one time, it
minimizes the chances of loss of life
to the least degree. The method of
constructing their buildings make the
Latin, Rand Powder Co.'s mills the
least dangerous and the care that is
token in the management to protect
their men is the reason more lives are
not lost.
The mill was shut down for about
two hours. The explosion will not
stop work as they have another press
house constructed for the purpose of
using in event of an explosion.

Matthias GergeI, of This City, Meets
With a Fatal Accident at Trues-
dell Thursday Night.
WAS STRUCK BY THE FAST MAIL
Mrs. Gergel, Who was Also in the Vehi-
Gle, was seriously Injured and the
Horse Was Killed.
(From Daily of Friday. Jan. ~

The most serious railway accident
that has occurred IN this city IN many
years occurred II thursday evening at
the Truesde11 crossing of the Milwau-
kee road, when the fast mail from
Milwaukee crashed into a vehicle con-
tanning Mr.. and Mrs. Matthias Gergel,
of this city. The accident resulted in
the instant death of the man and the
horse, which was attached to the vehi-
Gle, and the lady is SO seriously in
iured that it is feared that she cannot
survive.
The accident occurred shortly after
9 O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Gerge1 had
been visiting friends in Truesde11 and
had started to return to their home in
this city. The crossing where the &C
cident occurred is completely hidden
by the houses and it was not possible
for the people in the buggy to see the
oncoming train. The train never
stops at Truesdel1, and as it dashed by
the buggy was standing in the middle
of the track. Gerge1 was hurled high
in the air and instantly killed. When
he was picked up the remains were ter
rib1y mang1ed.
The noise of the accident attracted
the entire popu1ace of the village to
the scene and after short search Mrs.
Gerge1 was found in a ditch near the
track. She was picked up in an I'M
conscious condition and removed to the
neighboring house of M. Steinbach.
Doctors remained with her throughout
the night, but she failed to regain con-
seriousness until this morning. Her
left arm is broken and she has great
wound in the top of her head. The
doctors fear that she has sustained
terrible internal injuries and little
hope of her recovery is entertained.
Shortly after the accident j. E.
Krichbaum, coroner of the county, was
notified, and jury was empane1ed to
look into the case. They visited the
scene of the accident Thursday even
ing, but no verdict has been rendered
in the case. Together with the Dis
trict Attorney the jury will visit the
scene of the accident today and make
an effort to place the blame.
The accident has caused great deal
of sorrow in Kenosha, as both of the
injured people were well known.

Coroner's Jury Fails to Place Blame
For Accident at Truesdel.
MRS. GERGEL WILL SURVIVE.
she Is Reported Much Better Poday.-Evi
dence at the Inquest Shows That Gus
tomarY Signals We're Not Given.
(From Daily OF Saturday, Jan. 81

The coroner's jury, called to investi-
gate the sad railway accident which
occurred at Truesde1 Thursday eve
ming, met at the scene of the accident
Friday afternoon and rendered a YER
dict In the verdict no blame for the
accident is placed, but the coroner
stated that the verdict had purpose1y
been left open in order that further in
vestigation may be made, The evil
dence introduced at the inquest Friday
afternoon showed that the accident
had been witnessed by crew of
freight train which was standing on
side track near the crossing. Members
of the crew testified that the engineer
in charge of the fast train, which
struck the vehicle IN which Mr.. and
Mrs. Gerge1 were riding, failed to give
the customary signals for the crossing.
The evidence showed that the engineer
had blown the whistle for the station,
but the customary long and two short
blasts, to warn people at the crossing,
were not given. The evidence seems
to fix the blame for the accident par
TALLY on the company.
Mrs. Gerge1, who was seriously in
iured in the accident, is still ia pre-
carious condition at the home of Mr..
Steinbach in Truesdel, but the doctors
state that there is no doubt but that
she will recover. The sad death of he
husband has not as yet been made
known to her.

Kenosha Street Railway Company Full
fills Their Contract With the
City to the Letter.
BOND IS GOOD FOR FIFTY YEARS.
The Managers of the Company State That
Work viii be Completed Early in the
Spring Bond Piled With Clerk.

The Kenosha Street Railway COM
panv have now complied with the very
letter of the franchise ordinance re-
Gently passed by the council, for this
morning B. ]. Arnold, president of
the company, filed a new bond with
Mayor German, which has been APP
proved and filed with the city clerk.
The bond secures the city for
period of fifty years. The bond is en-
tire1y different from the one formerly
approved by the Mayor. 1t is made b.
the United States Fidelity and Guar
antee company, of Baltimore and
while no time is stated it covers all
the time that may be needed for the
completion of ali the work named in
the ordinance as conditions on which
the franchise is granted.
The obnoxious clause calling for
yearly renewal of the bond has been
cut out entirely and as the bond is
made the city is absolutely secured.
The fling of this bond comes as
victory to Mayor German and his de-
mands. After it was presented it was
thoroughly examined by city Attorney
Slater and met his approval. The
Mayor signed it at once and filed it
with the city clerk. In speaking of
the matter Mr.. Arnold stated that the
Bond had cost his company large
sum of money, but that they had de-
cided to remove the last possible flaw
from their rights in Kenosha.
Mr.. Arnold stated that the work on
the road would not be continued dur
ing the winter, but would start with
the opening of'the spring. The ma
terials for the new bridge have been
purchased and the officials will appear
before the Council Monday night and
urge that some action be taken to re-
move the old bridge in order that the
work nayaproceed.

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1aned con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by

Fire Breaks 0as in the Bone Of Victor Har
bert on Wisconsin sIrees.

bert on Wisconsin street.
The fire department was called out
shortly before six O'Clock Friday eve
ming on account of a small fire in the
house on Wisconsin street occupied by
Victor Harbert. The fire was not a
dangerous one, but the loss will prob
ably exceed two hundred dollars. The
fire broke out shortly after five O'Clock.
One of the children of Mr.. Harbert had
gone to clothes press to get some
thing and had lit a match to get light.
The match fell to the floor igniting
pile of clothes. In minute the entire
contents of the closet were mass of
flames. The flames spread rapidly to
the adjoining room and caused big
blaze. The people at the house made
an effort to extinguish the flames, but
when this failed, the department was
called and the fire was soon put out
with the aid of the chemical.
The loss on the house and furniture
was about the same. The house is
owned by Edward Carter and is fully
insured. The furniture was not in
sured.

MAY AMEND COMPLAINT.
Judge Halsey Decides in Favor of John R
Eldred in the Mining suit.


Judge Halsey, Of Milwaukee, sus-
tanned a demurrer to the suit of John
r. Eldred against the American Min
ing company on Thursday. In 1896
Mr.. Eldred deposited 113.300 shares of
stock of the company with the COM
pany for safe keeping. Afterwards,
he charges, the company cancelled the
stock. He was obliged to bring suit
and secured judgement in Chicago
court, compelling the company to re-
store the stock to him. He was put to
an expense of $4,000, Mr.. Eldred says,
and he brought suit in Kenosha for the
recovery of that amount. The suit
came before Judge Ha1sey on change
of venue and the company demurred.
Mr.. E1dred will have twenty days in
which to amend the complaint, if he
chooses to do so.
