Tuesday night, among the vast lnul-
titude gathered in Madison Square,
New York, to witness the ascension
OF an airship and the display of the
election returns, eleven persons were
killed outright, many being blown
almost to pieces and at least fifty
injured, many of them fatally.
1t is estimated that at least 30, 900
persons thronged the Square at the
time of the explosions which were
succeeded by frightful panic in
which hundred, we're thrown down
and trampled under foot. Five hun
dred policemen and all the ambu.

summoned and the dying and those

to the hospitals. In addition to these

The list of the dead is:

Five unknown men.
Unknown colored boy.
The densest portion of the throng
that packed the square was gathered
along Madison avenue close to the
place reserved for the discharge of
fireworks. Along the border of the
square facing the avenue were ar.
ranged three groups of the castiron
mortars, 20 in each group and loaded
with heavy bombs. A few minutes
after 10 o'clock the first row of NOR
tars was touched off, but before the
discharge took place one of them
fell over on it's side and the next in-
slant the bomb was shot into the
thickest of the crowd, where it ex
ploded and hurled. the people into
heaps, The fall of the mortar and
the concussion of the explosion
knocked down the rest of the row of
mortars and laundering volley OF
huge projectiles pleughed through
the crowd. ...
Almost instantly the second group
Of mortars about 100 feet further
up the avenue discharged their con-
tents into the crowd and a moment
later the third group, evidently
ignited by the showers of falling
sparks, exploded in the same manner.
In the panic that ensued thousands
ran blindly across the square, trip
ping over the seats and benches and
falling were trampled upon. The
police on duty we're carried along by
the rush and for half an hour the
widest confusion reigned.
After the smoke of the explosion

all members OF the legislative ticket

CALLS FURNISH
SAYS il IS Impossible to Check Prevent Retaliation on
the Methods of Some Of His Friends

up it is bound to result in retaliation.
The Statesman is very anxious for the
success of the whole ticket, especially
the candidate for governor, because II
believes Oregon cannot afford to elect
Democrat to that office, and virtual
ly put this state in the Democratic
column. We have too much at stake
to think for a moment Of electing
Chamberlain. But many Republicans
don't share the fear of a Democratic
governor with the Statesman, and If a
fight comes up between the factions
here the majorlties of some of the
candidates on June I'd will look worse
than thirty cents. What we want is
united and cordial support for every
Republican on the ticket This can be
accomplished by the friends of Mr..
Furnish doing their duty by the whole
ticket. While retaliation is a method
that the Statesman cannot counte-
nance, and under no circumstances
could approve, yet those who have
been longest in politics know how fire.

ly impossible II is to check or prevent

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made,

has seized a quantity of so-called cheap
baking powder, which 1t found in that
city. Attention was attracted to IL
by the low price at which 1t was being
sold in the department stores. Samples
were taken and the chemist of the
health department reported the stun
to be "an alum POWDER" which analy.

The powder was declared to be dan.

Any one can become stockholder in

at that time and guests at the hotel were
two prominent civilians Jacob T. Brad
ford of Alabama and Mark Cooper or
Georgia, who were invited to joint the
conference. Two or three leading citizens
of the city were also invited to join, and
thus was called the first war council,
perhaps ever known in Chattanooga, af-
terward to become famed as the center
of one of the most gigantic military OPP
erntions of the Confederacy, and second
only to Richm ond.
1t was determined by the council that
an earnest effort should be made to cap
ture Gift. A little river steamer was ~
ing at the wharf. This was promptly Sc
cured to convey the troops to an agreed
point up the river. Morning came. Col.
Cotart with a battalion, In hand now
embarked when the little steamer moved
off to its destination The designated
point was duly reached, when the force
moved ashore formed line and proceed
ed on the march to the Gift home. The
battalion had not gone far, when an I'M
expected incident occurred in meeting a
mounted force of armed men, Mistaking
them for an enemy, Col. Coltart instantly
ordered deploy of his skirmishers, when
a few shots were fired. Fortunately be-
fore any material injury was done, 1t
was discovered that the supposed enemy
was a company of Home Guards, organ
lied for home protection against the
nefarious operations of Union outlaws.
The result of the unfortunate conflict
was only a slight wound in the foot of
one of the Home Guards. Explanations
and apologies were exchanged and all
was satisfactory.
The march was now resumed. and final
ly the home of Gift was reached The
dwelling was surrounded and simultane-
Gus advance made from all sides. But
there was no practical result. The house
was without a tenant. 1t was developed
afterward that Gift had made his escape
in skiff down the river night or two
before and had left the country.
No important discoveries were made
about the premises. But there was found
a new wood cannon of unique construc-
ton, which showed that it's builder was
possessed of no little mechanical skill and
ingenuity. In the absence, doubtless, of
a suitable tool to bore a desired size
chamber in a solid log, the gun was built
with four stout pieces of white oak with
