Loss of Life Small.

The first feeling &C the officers az the
Navy department after receiving the ca
blegram was one OF surprise that the acci-
dent had resulted in so little loss of life.
The Kearsarge's forward turret, where It
occurred, is OF the superposed type-in
other words, an eight-inch gun turret sat
upon the top Of the thirteen-inch gun tur-
ret. where the accident occurred. In the
lower turret were twenty-four men and I'm
the upper turret sixteen. An ammunition
hoist connected the two, and. had the
powder in the lower hoist exploded prob
ably every man in the two turrets would
have been killed. The full charge Of powder
for thirteen-inch gun is too large to be
handled by any one man. so il is divided int
sections in canvas bags, and IL was three
Of these (probably just enough to MI one
compartment in the ammunition host)
which ignited. As the cablegram states,
the cause OF the ignition was not known,
but the first belief at the Navy depart
ment is that in cleaning up the turret and
throwing open the breeches OF the big guns
after the last round had been fired. some
small bit OF smouldering canvas bagging
was blown out OF one Of the guns as the
big breech block was swung around only
10 fan upon the loaded ammunition hoist
where the surplus powder was being re-
turned 10 the magazines below. Had the
remainder OF this powder exploded there
might have been a repetition Of the Mis-
souri, disaster. when twenty-siX men were
killed in the turret and in the magazines

Woman's Club Notes.

Col. G. A. Miles gave a carefully pre-
pared paper before the Woman s CLUB
Wednesday afternoon at the Brooks
House. on Old Heidelberg. Having
spent some time at the university, he
is well qualified to speak of that in
stitution, and the city itself. The az
tention of hrs hearers was fixed from
the first, when the ancient city was
compared with our own town, in the
similarity of setting and its streets.
He took his hearers along well-known
local walks in describing the foreign
city, and one could well imagine the
beautiful old place as seen by him; A
German city where more English Than
German is spoken; residential streets
of cosmopolitan people, and, witha-
a NEST delightful city For the many
English and American students. Coz.
Miles touched upon the city's history,
giving many interesting bfts hard 70
tina in books. The paper was INFER
spersed with apt quotations and hui
lnerous figures, making an artistic
treatment Of descriptive production.
AT the close of the paper, Z. II. Crane
sang acceptably three songs illustrative
laf German student life, followed by a
social hour and refreshments.

The Marriage of Kitty.

Manager Fox has at last broken the
hoodoo. and demonstrated that he can
get a good production for the andi'
torium. the theatrical trust TO the con.
trarv Notwithstanding. The Marriage
of Kitty, a rather artificial comedy
with an impossible plot, but contain
ing many amusing situations, was pro
dueed last evening. and furnished a
vehicle for six as good players as have
appeared in Brattleboro for long
time TO demonstrate their ability.
The play was by Cosmo LennoX, an
Englishman. and dealt with the adven.
lures of baronet, who married wo.
man whom he had never seen before,
FOR the purpose of beating the provis-
ions of will, with the understanding
that after a year there should be a
divorce, and he should marry wo-
man TO whom he was engaged before
the marriage. Alice Johnson, the star,
showed herself to be an actress Of
high rank, and pleasing personality
Harrison J. Wolfe, known of old TO
Brattleboro theatre goers, played the
part of Sir Reginald Belsize, rather
idiotic member of the British aristoc'
raey, and exhibited high order of
ability. Elsie Baird, as a South Ameri-
can adventures. and Franklin Hall, as
solicitor, played their roles very ac'
ceptably. The fine costumes of the
feminine members of the company ae-
eentuated the shabbiness of the house
scenery and settings, of which our
town fathers should take notice. The
performance, though advertised at )
o clock, did not commence until nearly
half past. Manager Fox should put
promptness among his list of virtues
or else advertise his performances at
later hour.
