dent was due TO a premature explosion In
a 10-inch mortar. The artillery men had
gone out for the customary mornings
practice in the mortar battery which
overlooks the entrance to Boston harbor.
One shot has been fired and the gun was
being reloaded for a second shot. AS the
breech block was being closed, there came
a premature explosion Of powder sphere
hexagonal in form in the powder chamber
OF the mortar.
This explosion caused the breech block
to be blown from the gun and It was this
that caused the death OF three Of the SOL
diers and the wounding Of eight Others
The concussion was the alarm signal for
the officers at the fort building nearby
and there was a general rush TO the scene
OF the accident. There IL was found that
not one OF those manning the gun had es-
capped injury. The bodies OF the three
who were killed were mutilated. Sergeant
Nevins head was blown from his body.

stantly galloping up with reports from
other parts OF the field and carrying dis

Faust" the eminent French composer s
musical setting of Goethe's immortal
poem. New York witnessed a notable
revival OF Berliozs works last winter and
the selection Of his greatest opera for
the initial concert OF the season is most
timely and appropriate.

lean production of the opera. i'm 1884
DIR. Jordan sang the part, which is ar
exceedingly difficult one. ten times IN
New York. twice In Philadelphia, once IN
Boston and twice at the Worcester fes-
tivals, an envialble record.
The second concert is 10 be in the ma.
ture OF program, Mendelssohn's
"Athal." Bruch's Fair Ellen" and Gou
mods "Gallia," being the works selected
These three compositions are widely
known and have all withstood the sever,
test OF long usage.

very special Observance OF the 25th an
niversary, the plan being 10 reproduce OF
! that occasion the program OF the frs
concert ever given by the club in 1879
Announcement OF this concert will b,
made in due season.
For the last concert, Dr. Jordan ha.
chosen a modern work which has prob
ably caused as profound a stir in musi
cal circles in England and America a,
has any single musical composition writ
ten I'm the past 80 years. The work re
ferred TO is Mr.. Edward Elgar's "Th,
Dream OF Geronuus"--the most notabl,
work Of a notable composer.

The debates on the same would have
done justice TO a debate on reciprocity in
either OF the congressional bodies at
Washington.
AS each section came up for adoption
there was a groan from the trainers ana
an exulting scream OF delight from those
who stood ready with scalpels to do
things.
There was an amendment 10 the section
on representation. Mr.. Brady, as well as
several others. was on his feet In a
moment to tear that and tear he die. The
result was that the section remains as II

RAILROADS WONT
FAVOR MILLERS
REQUEST FOR DELAY IN NEW
RATES UNHEEDED.
Millers Wanted the Advance Held Off
for Time, but Railroads Held that
Wheat Was in the Same Boat and
that There Was No Discrimination.

The Central freight association. and
the eastern trunk line men, in session
IN Chicago, have turned down the peti-
ton of the Minneapolis millers for
stay until JAN, 1 in the matter of an
advance in eastbound rates. Com

nestle and y cents export, making the
Hour rates PIN cents and 241a cents.
The mlllers had hoped that this adj
vance would not become effectire until
later, for the reason that navigation will
close about Dec. s, and the mills then
have to figure upon a practical advance
of 4 cents, that being the ordinary diff
ferential between lake and rail and all
rail rates. Az advance in an-rail rates
coming coincident with this will make a

SO sharp an advance may be serious
handicap upon the -four trade, for a

the millers that the a1l-rail lines help
them to meet the rise gradually, by de-
ferring their advance to Jan. /. .
The roads replied that since
the new rates were applicable
to flour and grain alike, no
possible charge of favoritism OF dis
elimination could hold, and that they
