AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
One Man Killed and Many Wounded by Explosion of Scvcn-Inch
 She'll During Practice.

Junction City, Kas., Aug. 20.-While at target practice about nine o'clock yesterday, at Fort Riley reservation, half a mile north of this city, sev- en-inch, 1O7-pound shell exploded as it was being placed in the breech of the third section gun of siege battery O, Seventh artillery, commanded by Capt. Van Dusen.
 The big siege battery of four guns had been on the target range, four miles north of this city since last week. Yesterday morning the usual practice was in progress. The 107- pound shell had been put into the third section gun, and Private Watson was in the act of ramming the shell plosion, and the headless body of Watson was seen standing perfectly erect for alomst 15 seconds, when it moved as if to step, and then fell, alighting on his back, with shoulders toward the gun. Watson has a father in Texas and brother and sister in South Carolina, and enlisted in Sa- yannah, Ga.
 Private Joe King had both arms torn off and lost both eyes. He is from New Jersey.
 Private Murray Sykes had portion of the skull torn off and right eye badly injured.
 Charles Duncan was badly bruised about the head and blinded in both eyes. He is from near Wichita.
 Henry Logsdon, of London, Ky, is badly hurt, and may go blind from powder burns.
 Sergeant Dennis Mahoney, a native of Boston, was hit in the mouth with 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 at once taken to the post hospital, where the proper medical attention could be given.

THE STEAMER TURNED OVER.
Sixteen Persons Drowned by the Capsizlns of the Steamer City of Goiconda
 In SquaIl.

Elizabethtown, H., Aug. 20.-Tht steamer City of Golconda, plying be- tween this city and Paducah, Ky, was struck by squali in the storm about seven o'clock last night as she was en route to Paducah, and turned over in ten feet of water, six miles above the city as she was going into Crowell's landing. Sixteen persons are report ed drowned.
 The disaster occurred as supper was served, and many of the 75 passengers were in the cabin. sYThe wind strntlr the boat without warning, and there was no time for those on the inside to escape.
 Capt. Jesse Bauer and Pilot F. r. Peck were the last to leave the boat and swim ashore. They saved those who were struggling in the water, left the survivors in house near the bank, and came to this city. Capt. Bauer, who arrived here two hours after the catastrophe, said:
 '"The boat was getting to land when the squall struck her and she listed. Several passengers who were inside jumped overheard and were caught by the boat. The ladies, all of whom were in the cabin, could not be reached. The boat settled down in ten feet of water at reef, and two of the men who were in the cabin II. E. Wooden and N. s. Quartermouse, of Hampton-broke through tie glass and were saved.
 "Two colored deck hands saved q woman and child, and I think she was the only woman saved. X yawl that had broken loose was caught by some of those struggling in the water and taken to the bank. We returned to the boat in this, but could find no signs of life, and returned to shore.'
 The boat was valued at about two thousand five hundred dollars, and had been in the trade for several years, being owned by Capt. Otto Bauer, of Golconda, III. There is no way to determine the number or names of dead until the boats books are found. Capt. Peck places the number at Is. The Mary N. left soon after the survivors reached the city for the scene.
 Among those believed to be lost are:
 Miss Lucy Barnett, of Smithland. Miss Lizzie Graham, of Greenville.
 Miss TriXie Adams, of Greenville. Mrs. David Adams, of Smithland.
 Watts Havis, prominent farmer of Livingston county.
 Clarence Slayton, of Lola, Ky. Three colored deck hands.

The republican leaders know that they have good cause to fear the resentment of organized labor. They cannot point to one instance in which their party has stood on the side of or ganized labor as against the exactions and expressions of the trusts. The steel strike is logically injurious 10 the republican party. It is so because organized labor is fighting the trusts in that conflict, and the republican party is the creator and defender of the trusts.-St. Louis Republic.

The principal aim now is to reach the trusts, and no more effective way suggests itself than by depriving them of tariff protection. This protection gives them complete control of the American market, and consequently outrageous profits on what they sell at home, while at the same time it leaves them in a position to sell their surplus products at reduced profits in foreign markets - thus tiguratively killing two birds with one stone. In all of this the American consumers who are outside the pale of trust protection are the ones upon whom the burden of the injustice chiefly falls. These con stitute a vast majority of the people, and if they choose to apply remedy they have it in their power to do so.- Washington Post.

WIND WAS BLOWING GAILY.
The Big Yachts Expected to Have an
 Interesting Race To-Day.

Larchmont Yacht Club, New York, Aug. 19.-For first time in nearly ten days there seemed q good prospect early this morning of some fine smart racing between the Constitution and the Columbia in their third contest 0f the Larchmont series. A strong 12- knot northeast wind was blowing straight up he sound, bringing with 1t q thick mist, and roughing up the sea, so that some of the yachts anchored at the entrance of the harbor tugged hard at their anchors, as they pitched and tossed in the short rollers. Be- cause of the mist very little could be seen off shore. The Long Island shore was almost completely obscured and there seemed early i'll the forenoon lit tie prospect of . good view of the race from the shore
 At half past eight o'clock the fog seemed to be getting thicker and while the wind still held true from the north east and fully as strong, some of the yachts out near the entrance of the harbor could just be descerned i'll the mist.
 1t was so thick out on the sound at 10 o'clock that MT Duncan sent word ashore that he would not race the Con- stitution until the weather became more favorable. This decision was made after a consultation with MT Morgan of the Columbia, who had | come over from Glen Cove about a
 half an hour before
 MT Morgan was on board the Consti-
 tution's tender. Mount Morris, for about fifteen minutes. after which he
 went back to Glen Cove.
 At half 1aaSf fo,, 1,axx,axx.,., :.
 weather cleared materially. The rain
 ceased and the fog lifted so that the Long Island shore could easily be seen. The regatta committee in defer
 ence to the wishes of MT Duncan
 waited at the club house, but in the meantime came to the conclusion that the wind held and the yachts decided
 to race, that the course would a broad but short reach of three miles across the sound to Hampstead, a beat down l the sound of six miles to the club
 mark and run back of six miles to the starting mark, a distance of 15 miles, the course to be sailed twice Just before II o'clock the weather | cleared still more and the Mount Nor l ris ran alongside the Constitution, Ii seemed as if preparations were being l made for a race. The wind at this
 time was blowing over twenty knots
 and the Constitution was pitching an6
 struggling at anchor just outside the l breakWater.
 Although the weather clouded UT again by 11:30 the Columbia came out from Glen Cove, with all her sails, in l cluding her No B set. Fifteen minutes later the Constitution hoisted her main sail and just before noon prepared fol 1 the start.
 About II o'clock the sail cover was | taken off the Contributors mainsai
 and her headsails were sent up il
 stops. These preparations meant : I race, much to the delight of q score
 or more of the yachtmen at the club house.
 The race was called off owing to tn.
 unfavorable condition and both yachts
 remained at their buoys.

HE GUARD TOOK | DRINK
And This Suspected Horse Thief
 Took French Leave.

He Was Handcuffed, Shackled and
 Chained to the Wall And Yet He Got
 Away-Wanted For Stealing Horses
 in Several Places But Lakeyille Au-
 thorities Got Him First
 Lakeville, Aug. 19.-Lewis Hart who was under arrest here on suspicion that he was concerned ill the theft of horse in Derby, executed q mys- terious disappearance last night. This morning he was still at large and the officers had obtained no trace of him. Hart was captured in Chapinville Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff Mar tin of Lakeville and was brought here with shackleS on wrists and ankles, the sheriff not caring to run any risks with Hart on account of the mans great strength. As the village lookup is not the most secure of prisons, it was deemed unsafe to put the prisoner there, so he was taken to Martin $ livery stable and confined in a small room. In addition to the irons on his limbs, he was chained to a ring in the wall, and last night q young man named John Mcdonald was detailed to guard him. Mcdonald says he be- came thirsty ill the night and went out for q drink When he returned his prisoner had escaped and taken the shackles with him.
 Besides being wanted for the Derby theft, Hart is suspected of having taken a horse belonging to John O'Hara of Chapinville, two weeks ago
