Special from United Press.)
 Madrid, Aug. 21.-An indication of the fierceness of the fighting between the Spanish troops at Melilla and the Moorish army is found in today's dis patches from the front which tells of the effective work done by a hand grenade company that Colonel Bur guet organized. From each battalion Colonel Burguet chose 19 Andalusian Historian and Toledan cowboys who are marvelously expert in the use of the slings. These soldiers were arm ed with hand grenades which they threw into the tribesmen's ranks. The new mode of fighting is declared to have been effective, scores of the Moors being killed and wounded by the exploding grenades.
 Moorish women are taking part in the fighting. They are themselves adopts in the use of slings and have wounded many of the Spanish troops by hurling stones into their ranks.

Cartridges Which He Had in His Pocket Exploded and Were Imbedded in His Flesh.
With Parents and Younger Brother He Was Prepar- ing to Return to Home Here After Pleasant Stay at New Preston.

Death in awful form overlook Car ter L.. the IS years old son of MT. and Mrs. Charles F. Ellsworth of 25 Beech wood avenue. this forenoon when he was struck and almost instantly killed by the locomotive of work train near Washington. Conn. Charles Hoffman, an aged man with whom the Ellsworth family was staying at New Preston, and who was driving the team in which young Ensworth was seated is dying of injuries which he sustained in the accident.
 The body of the young man after being viewed by the medical examiner was made ready for shipment to this city where it will arrive this evening and be removed to the home of the
 Shortly after this morning young Ellsworth who with his father and mother and younger brother has been passing the summer at the home of MT. Hoffman in New Preston start ington a few miles away from their home. Hoffman got his horse and wagon nj readiness and the youth af- ter breakfasting with his parents lighted hearted and gay bade them good bye and proceeded on the jour ney.
 Before going he told his mother that as this was to be their last day in the country they WOulQ all go OH to- gether for a stroll as soon as he came back from his ride. Mrs Ensworth and her husband in the mean time were preparing for their return to their home in this city which they in- tended to reach tomorrow evening.
 Hoffman and his young charge were driving towards the Washington de- pot and a turn in the road hid the work train from view.
 There is a bell near the railroad crossing which they were approaching and which is about a quarter of a mile north of the railroad station in wash ington. The work train was running up and down the tracks and the bell which sounded constantly apparently failed to prove sufficient warning. Just as the wagon started to roll over the tracks the locomotive of the work train, in charge of Engineer Cooper and Conductor Hatch, struck the turn out with terrific force. throwing the occupants a considerable distance and completely demolishing the vehicle.
 Those within earshot heard several sharp reports follow the crash of the engine and wagon, and until an inves- tigation revealed the cause the hear CTS were at a loss to explain the strange noise. It subsequently, de velored that a box of ball cartridges which the boy carried in his pocket for his rifle exploded and several of them penetrated his body.
 Young Ellsworth was in the throes of death when the conductor of the train reached his side. His body was yCuntinued on Second Page.)
