MANNED BY EXPLOSION
Filled Cartridge With Powder ana
Touched Match to 1t.

CENTRALIA, June 9.-Last Satur-
day afternoon Kenneth Sewell, the 10
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. K.
Sewell. was frightfully hurt by the &C
cidental explosion of a cartridge Mrs
Sewell was away from home at the
slime giving a music lesson. Kenneth
was playing on the grass in front OF
the house by himself. By some means
he had got hold Of some gunpoWder
and a blank rifle cartridge, and, filing
the cartrideg with powder, he touched
a lighted match to it. No one was IN
sight at the time. but a man in a
neighboring house hearing the eXplo-
sion. ran out, and saw the boy lying on
The ground. He picked him up and
carried him into the house and then
summoned a doctor. Dr.. DumOn made
an examination and found that one of
the boys eyes was gone and the other
badly injured. Three fingers on his
right hand were torn so as to prob
ably necessitate amputation. His left
hand was badly cut and his breast was
bruised and lacerated. The doctor
said that unless the injured eye was
removed the other could not be saved,
and the wounded boy was accordingly
removed to st. Joseph's hospital in Ia
coma, where his injuries are being
dressed and attended to. The great
mystery in the accident is where the
boy secured the gunpoWder.

MORE SPURIOUS COIN is DIscOv-
Erred IN SEATTLE BY CAP.
TAIN BELL.
They Would Easily Pass Muster Al
though They Have a Peculiar
"Soapy" Feeling.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 9.-Count-
erfeit silver dollars have now been
added to the ranks of the spurious
coins which have, in large quantities,
been flooding the Puget sound country
some portions of Canada and the Phil
ippines. Capt. Bell, chief of the local
United States treasury office, discover
ed two of the coins yesterday, and al
though up to the present time no
large quantities of the bad dollars have
been found, still it is probable, Capt.
Bell said, that more will come to light
soon. The fact that two were found
in one day leads him to believe that
many more are in circulation.
The dollar cOunterfeits, unlike the
spurious quarters and halves recently
discovered ARE undoubtedly made in
this country. They are slightly thick
er than good money, have large per-
centage of alloy, and the milling and
engraving is not clear cut like a gem
uine coin turned out under the SUI
pervision of Uncle Sam. They would
easily pass muster, however, among
those inexpert at detecting good money
from bad were it not for the fact that
they have the peculiar ''soapy' feel
ing that characteriZes coins in which
the percentage of silver is low.
Looking for CIews.
Capt. Bell states that the secret SER
vice men are still hard at work en-
deavoring to trace down the gang that
have flooded this portion Of the coun-
try with bad quarters. dimes and half
dollars. The officers are still working
on the theory that the coins have been
sent over here from China. Inasmuch
as they have been circulated almost
exclusively in the Puget sound coun-
try, British Columbia and the Philip
pines, the inference that they came
originally from the Orient would ap-
pear to be we'll founded Word has
been received in this city by Capt.
Bell from the San Francisco sub
treasury that bad coins Of various de-
nominations, to the value of $1,40O,
have been forwarded to the United
States from secret service men in Ma
Mia.
Keep Coming to Light.
Every day, according to Capt. Bell,
few more of the bad small coins come
to light. The most prolific source of
the supply is from the street railway
employees. So clever are the counter
feits that, in the rush of collecting
fares many conductors find at the end
Of days work that they are possess
ed of a number of them. These are
given over to Capt. Bell and forwarded
to Washington.
The coins from the Orient, while
containing practically as much silver
as the genuine money, are somewhat
lighter, and the milling is somewhat ir-
regular. Instead Of being nodded
coins they are struck with a die, and
the impression left is less sharp and
we'll defined than that of nodded coins.
Each coin is somewhat 'dished."

KNOXVILLE IN LEAD.
Club Has Been Winning Four Out of
 Five for Six Weeks.

Huntsville, July 3o.-(Special.) )-Knox- ville's lead in the pennant race of the Alabama-Tennessee league is now about seventy-tive points. The club has been steadily winning about four out of five games on the average for the past six weeks since about the first of June The team has played all but about twenty -ons at home, and has fared quite well on the road.
 Manager Wilkins has given Pitcher Bridges his old place as premier slabman on the Columbia team. Bridges started the season with Columbia and was re- leased to go to Atlanta on trial under Ab- ner Powell. Just as soon as it was stated that he had made good he was claimed by Dallas, Tex, under an old contract and the National association ordered him to pitch no more until his case was set tied. Nothing has been heard of the case since and Bridges concluded to come back to this league, which is independent.
 Manager Wee Wee Prout of Huntsville is on the trail of a pitcher of proven ability and fast and hard hitting in- fielder. The pitching staff has been weak since Sis Hopkins and Pylant were re- leased. Tom Fisher, who has caught for the team all the season, has been released on account of illness and has returned to his home in Louisville.
 Cahill and Clifford new n an signed by Chattanooga, proved to be weaker than the players who were released to make room for them and both have been turn ed loose by Manager Hightower Ford has been released

ROOSEVELT TALKS
 WITH THE LEADERS
IS INFORMING HIMSELF ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE VARIOUS sTATES-IS WATCHING THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

Washington, July 3O.--President Roose- welt had several conferences today with political leaders. He is obtaining from men representing all parts of the country their opinion of the political situation in their own localitiesA
 Senators Cullom and Hopkins of Illinois had a long talk with the President soon after he reached the executive office to- day They stated later that they had gone over very thoroughly with him the political situation in Illinois. Both ex- pressed the opinion that Illinois would give the President a majority of 100000 in the coming election. Only incidental reference was made they say. to the but chers and meat handlers strike which up to the present time they asserted had no political bearing.
 The President is watching the develop- ments of the strike carefully, but he has no present intention of Interfering. Sen- ator Foraker of Ohio had a brief inter- view regarding the approaching cam- paign
 He will devote much of his time to Ohio as usual although he says the con- clusion there is foregone. He will leave in Q few days with his family for the Yellowstone Park on his vacation
 Speaker Cannon and Representative Overstreet of Indiana, secretary of tho republican campaign committee, confer red with the President and will probably have another interview before they leave the city. The speaker briefly expressed confidence in a republican victory in Illi- nois. Regarding the Indiana situation he said: Our opponents may think they are half dozen. but we are at least six. as they will discover fin due time.''

CASUALTIES ON DECREASE

Washington, July S0-(Speoial)- )-Acci- dent bulletin No. II. which has just been issued by the interstate commerce com cidents in the United States during the months of January. February and March. 1904, and shows that during this quarter there were 40 passengers and 1S1 employees killed, and 9s5 passengers and 1902 em- ployes injured, making in all 221 persons killed and 2797 injured in train accidents. Other accidents to employees and passen- gers, not the result of train accidents, bring. the total number of casualties up to 13Ses. being 7s passengers and $40 en- .ployes killed and 1890 passengers and 10- s54 employees injured.
 The present quarter shows a gratifying decrease in accidents as compared with those reported in bulletin No. 10, the total number of persons killed being 919 and injured 12,444, as against 1166 killed and 13,319 injured in the preceding three months. A comparison of this quarter with the same quarter of last year shows a decrease of s persons killed
 The total number of employees killed in coupling and uncouplng cars during this quarter was TO, being decrease of from those reported in thess preceding three months
 The total number of collisions and de- .railments was 2799 d659 collisions and 114O derailments) of which 294 collisions and IA derailments affected passenger trains. The damage to cars, engines and roadway by these accidents amounted to s2.256,477
 The total number of fatalities from fall- ing off cars Is S2 per cent $ess than those reported In Bulletin No. 10. This, very likely, Is due to the increased use of air brakes on freight trains. diminishing the necessity for employesi in charge of such trains to ride on the tops of box cars.

Again the pumping came in great clus- ters and the Coal Barons end the week with a record of five straight defeats notwithstanding their beautiful start to the front with Shreveport.
 Memphis 5, Birmingham 8. It took ten innings to do 1t but 1t was done
 The same old trouble of inability to hit when clouts would count is responsible for the loss of yesterdays game and it takes too long to tell the story.
 With lead of two runs staring them in the face the Barons jumped in at the end of the sixth inning and with lusty drives by Lynch and Hennessey, for two bases each, the trouble was overcome and everybody felt better.
 Things rocked along this way until the tenth when Keenan and Dungan stung the ball for the Memphii and fire was out. It happened thus:
 Stocksdale was given base on balls. Downey tried bunt but Stocksdale was forced out at second. Keenan then hit safe sending Downey to second and 1t was up to Father Dungan. The old man thereupon gave the ball a vicious rap and as it passed second base 1t got away from Duffy and two men scored.
 In Birmingham's half Hollingsworth led off with a hit. Clark struck out but Duff fy hit for two bags sending him to third. Lynch and Vaughan could not deliver when a hit would have tied the score and there it ended.
 Minahan will probably pitch for Bir- mingham Monday Oscar Streit is well again, however, and it may be that he will take turn.
 Little Rock comes for four games Mon day but as yet it would be idle to figure on whom Michael Finn will put in the box.
