2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1895. REFUSED TO' LISTEN, Roughs at a Kentucky Fair Hooted Down Bradley. DEBATE NOT TOLERATED. | Watt Hardin Declined to Speak and Scored His Unruly Constituents. DRUNKEN MEN AND POLITICS. The Disorderly Crowd Broke Up in a Row After. Qne Man Was Kliled by Lightning. LEXINGTON, Kx., Aug. 30.—The sixth joint debate between the Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor of Kentucky, Colonel William O. Bradley and P. Watt Hardin, which was to have taken place at the Henry County fair grounds, neur Eminence, this afternoon, broke up in a row after a citizen had been struck and instantly killed by lightning. At 2 o’clock County Attorney Curston introduced Colonel Bradley, who was to make the first speech. When Mr. Bradley advanced to the front of the platform a large number of drunken men, who had gathered close around the speakers’ stand, began to jeer. W.P.Thorne, Democratic candidate for the Legislature, stepped for- ward and tried to quell the disturbance. His pleadings had no effect, for when Colonel Bradley essayed to speak he was hooted down again. Mr. Thorne asked the disturbers to be quiet and for the third time Colonel Brad- ley tried to speak, but his first sentence was never heard. State Auditor Norman then tried to quiet the unruly gathering, but he met with no better success than Mr, Thorne. Finally, giving up all hope of being heard, the Re- | publican candidate and the crowd called for General Hardin. Hardin told the crowd that under no consideration would he make a speech after the treatment his opponent had received, and he hoped he wouid never be called upon to witness such disgraceful scenes again, The crowd then dispersed. T0 DEFEAT HARRISON. Story That McKinley and Reed Have Formed a Compact. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Au Evening Times says that McKinley and Reed have formed a compact to defeat Harrison for the Presidential nomination, and that Quay’s success in Pennsylvania is expected to largely contribute’to this result. The terms of the compact are said to be in substance that the two Presidential aspi- rants will each make his own canvass ac- cording to his own judgment and inclina- tions, and will include solemn assurances to the effect that the one who shall by rea- son of expediency surrender his chances of nomination to the other will be bene- fited by all the comfort, consolation and prowess of the successful aspirant when four years have elapsed and the period be at hand for selecting another Presidential nominee. In short, the one who develops the least strength in the convention of 1896 must wait until 1900. The only bar- rier to carrying into effect this compact is the same ‘insidious distemper that has nipped many a Presidential bud in inci ency of development—the difticulty of de- livering a stipulated consignment of goods. WATER BOND CONTROVERSY. Kansas City Enjoined by a Big Eastern Syndicate. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 30.—Frank B. Bemis of Boston, Mass., representing the syndicate headed by Kidder, Peabody & Co., who contracted to buy Kansas O $3,100,000 water works bonds and lost its chance by dilly-dallying, has obtained an order from ° Justice' Brewer of the United States Supreme Court citing Kansas City and the National Water ‘Works Company to appear before him at Burlington, Vt., on September 4, and show cause why the settlement arrived at be- tween the city and the company, whereby the former got the water works and the latter the city’s bonds, should not be set aside. The city issued bonds to purchase the waterworks in the sum of $3,000,000, and contracted for the saleat a premium of $16 on the $1000 to the syndicate headed by Kidder, Peabody & Co. Meanwhile the w. copypany quesiioned the legality of the bonds and this reopened the case. The city repeatedly called on the syndicate to pay the money as agreed and take the bonds, but it was apparently afraid of the litigation and procrastinated. Finally the city made a last formal tender of the bonds, which being refused, it gave notice that the contract was -abro- gated, and concluded a compromise on August 24, by which the water company’s. bondholders took the city’s bonds at a premium of $18 on $1000, and the city took the plant. This is what the syndicate seeks to overthrow. —_—— MURDERED HIS SWEETHEART. Terrible Crime Committed by a Slavonian in New York. ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 30.—A special t6 the Journal from Johnstown, N. Y., says: A horrible murder was committed this morning in this city. Miss Teresa Keo- marny, a beautiful girl, 22 years of age, was kiiled by her lover, John Flamat, 30 years old. Both are Blavonians and wereto have been married within a month. After mur- dering his vietim, Flamat cut his own throat, from which he bled freely, though he will recover, A letter written by the murderer to the victim, in which he stated that if she did -not marry him, he would kill her, was found near the scene of the crime, The murderer ‘was locked up. There is great excitement in the city-and 30.—The | | | | the Slavonians and Hungarians would, CONDENSING THE FOOD. Enough Carried in a Small Can to Last a Soldier a Day. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 30.—The Armour Packing Company of this city is making a series of experiments in the preparation of condensed. food to be used by the soldiers of the United States army on forced marches. The experiments are in conformity with the specifications made public by the' subsistence department of the army last June. Special cans were made consisting of two parts, absolutely distinct from each other but fastened together by small solder but- tons and provided with a key opener. The smaller can contains seven ounces of bacon and the Jarger about twenty-eight: ounces of hard bread, soup and coffee, specially prepared. The coRee and soup are in the form of square tablets. The entire package weighs 35 ounces and con- tains a mgicubic inches of food. The larger can is so shaped that soup and coffee can be cooked in it by the individual soldier. The can will hold rations suth- cient to last for a day and can be. easily. carried on the soldier’s back. If the ex- periment works the size of the can will be doubled. The first practical test of the idea will be made by troops leaving for Fort Logan, Colo., on a twenty days’ practice march, leaving Denver September 5. LOSS OF THE SHIP CRAPC, An Official Report Made by a Consul to the State Department. Seamen Who Displayed Bravery While the Cargo of Nitrate of Soda Burned. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—On the 26th inst. the United Press published a dispatch from Minister Strobel in Chile giving an account of the disappearance and supposed drowning of Captain Ernest Stegler of the American vessel Edward Kidder and three of the crew of the Ameri- can vessel W. W. Crapo of New Bedford, Mass., in the bay or Junin, Chile, on the 14th of June. It was stated that Captain W.W. Hardy of the Crapo escaped by leaving the party, which was engaged in fishing in the bay. The State Department has since received a dispatch from Consul Merriam of Iqui- (}{ne, Jhile, - announcing that = Captain ardy’s vessel was burned on the 2d of July, and in fifteen minutes after the fire was discovered went to the bottem in six- teen fathoms of water. There were twenty- ifour persons on board, including the wife and son of Captain Hardy, but fortunately there was o loss of life. The ship’s papers were lost, as were also all the personal effects of Captain Hardy and family. The ship had received on board 44,098 gpanish quintals of nitrate of soda and was ex- | pected to complete her cargo of 49,000 quintals and to sail for the United States on the 5th inst. So far as known, the Consul says, the ship was not insured. Captain Hardy, who owned one-eighth of the ship, and who had hitherto kept his interest fully protected by insurance, had on this voyage ailowed his insurance to lapse and eo lost all. The cargo, however, was, as_usual, in the case of nitrate, fully insured. Tha usual precautions against fire had becn taken, and Captain Hardy suspects that one or more of the crew intentionally set fire to the ship, although he has no proof of the fact. At the request of Captain Hardy the Cénsul ‘authorized him ta. discharge and pay off ‘his “mate, carpenter and one sea- | man, all of whom found employment in Junin; and also to pay off and discharge three other seamen, who immediately shipped on the German vessel Melete at that port. The remaining fourteen were in Iquigue under the protection of the Consul on July 6, the date of the report, but expected ‘to get away soon, as there was a demand for seamen in the neighbor- mg port of Caleta Buena. he Consul adds: “Nothing could be done to save the ship; but Captain Hardy was the last to leave her, and by his cool- ness and intelligent direction he was en- abled to see his wife and son and all of the crew in the boats without an accident. This done he abandoned the ship a few minutes before she sank. “I take pleasure in calling attention to the noble conduct of Captain A. Jouan- i jean, master of the French bark Psyche. ‘‘As soon as the alarm of fire was given he leaped trom his bed, ordered a boat low- ered, and, without waiting to put on his trousers, went personally, together with his second mate and a snifin, to the rescue of the imperiled crew, eleven of whom he took.off from the burning ship. ““Captain Jouanjean received all of the twenty-four on board his ship, and treated them with the most assiduous attention, for which he refused to accept any re- muneration. To approach a burning ship loaded with nitrate of soda is to incur a great ‘hazard, for violent explosions may occur at any moment, which might prove disastrous to boats in the vicinity.” — e KEPT UP THE RESERVE. The Syndicate Made a Deposit in the Nick of Time. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—It is generalty recognized here in official circles thatthe Belmont-Morgan bond syndicate will not permit the treasury gold reserve to fall below the $100,000,000 mark. Four times they have come to the rescue when such a result would have followed constant drains on the reserve for export to Europe. To-day, at the last moment, the'syndicate deposited $1,000,000 in gold in exchange for legal tenders, without which the gold reserve would have dropped below the limit. At1:30 o’clock this_afternoon As- sistant ‘Creasurer Jordan at New York tele- graphed that $2,250,000 in gold had been withdrawn for export to Europe. This re- duced thetreasury gold reserve to $99,456.- 634. At 3:350’clock a telegram from Mr. Jordan announced that the syndicate had deposited $1,000,000 in .gold, which raised the treasury gold to $100,456,634. So far the syndicate has deposited in excess of the gold required for its $62,400,000 in bonds, nearly $10,000,000 to keep the re- serve intact. e News for Pensioners. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

Meriweather, assist- ant surgeon, upon the expiration of his present sick leave, will be relieved from duty at San Diego barracks, Cal; First Lieutenant Charles E. B. Flagg, assistant surgeon, upon his return from duty in the field, will be relieved from duty at Angel Island, Cal., by the commandingefficer. of that post, and will report in person to the cammanding officer at: Fort Hancock for duty at that post, to relieve First Lieu- tenant Francis A.

CENTRAL CITY, Coro., Aug. 30.—As the Sleepy Hollow mine was always dry no pumping-plant is established there. Efforts have been made to lower the water with a 500-gallon bucket, but this apparently has no effect. Cornish pumps will be put in, but it will even then take sixty days to drain the mines and get to the bodies of the drowned miners. The water is now 300 feet deep in the Sleepy Hollow skaft and is still rising, while it has lowered in the Fisk over 104 feet. The yarious mines of Bob Tail Hill have been in dispute for several years over the question of drainage, the Fisk and Gregory lodes having pumping-plants, and when they worked to lower levels they com- pletely drained the Sleepy Hollow and Americus. Some time ago they drew the pumps out of the lower workings, and for weeka water stood in the Fisk 200 feet higher than the levels worked by the flooded .mines. It was this tremendous weight of water which burst through the intervening walls of rock. Now the flooded ‘mines will both have to establish pumping-plants in order to work at all. DICKINSON'S ~ AMBITION, In the Presidential Race on a Broadly American Platform. His Name to Be Presented to the Convention by the Michi- gan Delegation. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—Hon. Don M. Dickinson is a sure enough candi- date for the Presidency on a broadly American platform. Hon. Dan J. Cam- pau, Democratic National Committeeman from Michigan and Dickinson'’s friend and adviser, was at the Hoffman House yes- terday and talked to a reporter about the political and business situation. The re- porter- said that it was supposed that Michigan would present the name of Don M. Dickinson to the Natiomal Convention as the choice of its delegation. “I don’t care at this time to enter into any discussion of ‘Mr. Dickinson’s can- didacy,’” said Campan.’ “I présume that he will be a candidate and that Michigan will support him. It is entirely too early to talk about possible nominees.” .“What sbout Cleveland and a third term ?”’ I do not believe that Cleveland is a can- didate. But with respect to the third-term agitation I will say this. that the people of this country are unalterably opposed :to a third term for any man. If Cleveland were to be renominated he could not carry one Western State, and, as for the Eastern States, the sentiment is just as strongly against a third term as it is in the West. Cleveland would be the worst whipped man that ever ran.” “‘As to issues,” said the committeeman, “the tariff, by the passage of the Wilson bill, ceased to be an issue. The fight will be made on broad Democratic lines. Silver will be ignored. Party manipulation will set it aside. The- people of Michi- gan are bimetailists. The next con- vention will mnot reflcct the sen- timent of the people—it will be a Federal office-holders’ convention. I believe the general sentiment is in favor of a double standard, but I do not believe that the United States shonld take any steps in the direction of the adoption of such a system irrespective of the sentimeérts of- other countries. “The’ political situation tends toward harmony, but is still not everything that could be desired. .I am pleased to see that among party leaders there is a feel- ing that the time has come when geo- graphical lines should be obliterated and nominations made wholly regarding the personal fitness of the candidates. If we can find the proper man in.the South for the second place on the ticket—and I see no reason why we cannot—then let him receive the nomination.” PR General Coppinger and the Reds. OMAHA, Ngsr., Aug. 30.—General Cop- pinger left for Washington this aiternoon, accompanied by Lieutenant Hutchinson. The trip to Washington is chiefly to con- sult with the War Office as to the disposi- tion of the troops who are covering a tract 150 miles longg; 100 wide about Jacksons Hole, and to advise as to means to prevent a recurrence of the troubles between the settlers, who insist upon enforcing the Wyoming game laws, and the Indians, who stick for their treaty rights to hunt. The general has some information to im- part, and it is hinted that some decisive steps will be taken to prevent outrages in the West. el s i Was Not Destroyéd. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—A re- porter of the United Press called at the office of J. M. Cebellos ‘& Cc. in search of news of the Spanish steamer Vallaverde, which that firm had leased to the Spanish Government and which it has been rumored, according to a_morning paper, was destroyed by dynamite while en toute from this port to Havana. It was learned that the Vallaverde came to New York for repairs, sailing from here in ballast on August 21, and ‘arrived at Havana at 6 A. M. on August 26. The story of herde-~ struction is without foundation. % 4 —_—— Was Billy Scanlan’s Brother. RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 30.—It now seems certain that the man killed by the train at Wilson Tuesday night was B. J. Scanlan, brother of “Billy” Scanlan, the actor, who is now in Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. Scanlan was here a week ago earning ‘his way by playing his violin. He was arrested and ordered out of town. He started in the direction of Fayetteville. A letter recently received here from Wilson describes a man killed on the railroad. The : description seems to-fit Scanlan exactly. DESERTING THE HUB.

BOSTON, Mass.,, Aug. 30.—It was late this afternoon when the twenty-sixth tri- ennial conclave of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States was brought to a close.

The session opened with the continuation of Sir Knight Carron’s speech in favor of the proposition to make the city of Wash- ington the permanent headquarters of the Templar body. He also advocated the es- tablishment there of a great Templar temple. Strong opposition was soon mani- fested, and by a vote of 58 to 16 the matter was referred to the next Knights Templar conclave at Pittsburg in October, 1898. Should no other cities bid- for futuse con- claves, however, they will be held at Wash- ington. A number of Masonic law points were discussed, especially those allotting to proposed changes in the matter of repre- sentation in the Grand Encampment, whichr would operate, if adopted, to the advantage of the larger state body. The following officers were then in- stalled by Grand Master McCurdy: Grend master, W. La Rue Thomas of Kentucky; grand deputy master, Reuben H. Lloyd of California; grand generalissimo, Henry B. Stoddard of Texas; grand captain general, George M. Moulden of Illinois; grand senior warden, Henry ‘W. Rugg of Rhode Island; grand junior warden, William B. Melish of Ohio; grand treasurer, H. Wales Lines of Connecticut; grand recorder, William H. Mayo of Mis- sourl. Grand Master Thomas appointed the following officers: Grand prelate, Corne- lius T.Wing of New York; grand standard- bearer, Thomas F. Morris of Tennessee; grand sword-bearer, Edgar S. Dudley of Nebraska; grand warden, Joseph A. Locke of Maine; grand captain of the guard, Frank H. Thomas of Washington. The following committees were ap- pointed - Jurigsprudence—J. H. Hopkins of Penn- sylvania, John O. Smith of Illinois, E. T. Carson of Ohio, Joseph W. Fellows of New Hampshire, B. G. Hewitt of Kentucky. Finance—W. H. H. Soule of Massachu- setts, George Davis of West Virginia, George Kendrick of Pennsylvania, Eli O. Birdsay of Connecticut, Fred Greenwood of Virginia. Testimonial to Hugh McCurdy—John O. Smith of Illinois, Henry L. Palmer of Wisconsin, John A. Mora of Mississippi. A resolution of thanks to the Grand Commander of Massachusetts and Rhode Island was adopted. Similar resolutions were adapted in compliment fo the retir- ing grand master, McCurdy, and the con- clave was over. 2 ? THREE WISE MEN INDEED. They Caused a Commotion by Their Arrival With a Pon- derous Box. it Contalned a Flylng Machine, With Which the Inventors Will Startle the Capital. WASHJNGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—The three wise men of Gotham who went to sea in a bowl provoked a mild sensation com- pared with the commotion stirred up in ‘Willard's Hotel by the arrival of threeciti- zens of Indianapolis, 'They registered as George C. Webster, Williama N. Gales and A. Gimber. Following them came six burly baggage- men tugging at a formidable pine box about six feet long by three feet deep anda The men set the box down in the rotunda with'a groan and a crowd gathered and began speculating on what it contained. “It’s bones,” said a newsboy who had been reading the Holmes case closely. Phe hotel ‘proprietor suggested that the box be removed from the rotunda to rooms upstairs, but it was so large and heavy that the porters could not get it up the stair- way. Suddenly Mr. Gimber came boldly to the front'and agreed to stand personally responsible for what the box contained. “It's a flying machine,” he said. *‘The theory of aerial navigation is at last solved.” The crowd who watched six strong por- ters vainly trying to get up stairs looked as if they questioned the ability of Mr. Gim- ber to float suck a burden on wings, but he reassured them by a statement that he once flew fifty miles in* midair near Indi- anapolis at a formal test. “To-morrow,” he continued, ‘‘with my two friends here, I mean to fly from the Treasury Department to the Capitol build- ing:”’ The crowd gradually melted away, and the Indianapolis men retired to their rooms. When they left the hotel it was with the avowed intention of going to the Patent Office ana applying for a patent on the device.
