(2 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1895. M MUZZLING THE PRESS Kaiser William's Course Has a Reactionary Effect. SOCIALISTS ARE GAINERS Odium Attachingto Their Faith Lessened by the Vor- waerts Episode. GENEROUS WORDS FOR FRANCE. Felicitations of German Papers Upon the Anniversary of the Third Republic. BERLIN, Gervaxy, Sept. 8.—The Gov- ernment’s prosecution of the Vorwaerts, the leading Socialis of Berlin, has had a reaction: effect. The arrest of the editor has elicited from several Socialist leaders not only protests against Govern- mental i ference with the liberty of the flat denial of the official press, bu assumption that the Socialist party ought | to be accused ot having failed in patriot- | ism. The Vorwaerts, in an article reply- ing to the characterization by the Em- peror that the Socialists were a band of | persons who were unwilling to bear the name of Germ declares that the best patriots in Germany are those who ng to give all Germans the fullest measure of political liberty, genuine equal- ity and sure prosperity by destroying the tem of exploitation of work- gmen. The Vorwaerts refrained from making any defense of its supposed hostility and also of the presumed bostility of the So- t party to the celebration of Sedan This, of course, is to be exvected day. from a newspaper which has been put n of imperial displeasure, but the utterances of the Vorwaerts are upheld by speeches delivered by Herren Auer and Vollmar, who voice the sentiments of a large seéction of the Socialist party. The speeches of these gentlemen have had the effect of greatly lessening the popular odium attaching to the supposed Socialist | faith and have also checked the alienation of a great many lukewarm Socialists from the tenets of the sect. Herr Auer, in a speech delivered at a nion of socialists at Berlin yesterday, ded the action of the party in re- g from participation in the celebra- tions commemorative of Sedan day. He takes the ground that it would be impolite to irritate the French democracy. Pursu- | ing his subject, he said that this did not | imply that the German socialists were ene- | mies of the principles of the unity of the | Fatherland, nor of the unity of the em- | pire. Solongasit was necessary to pre- | serve unity, he said, all socialists were | { under the t ready now, as they were in 1870, to march against France or any other nation pre- suming to assail the empire. Moreover, they were ready and willing to fight in | def of or for the protection of the“ Reichland. These utterances were received by the meeting with prolonged cheers, | Herr Votlmar, in a letter written toa friend | in regard to the abstention of socialists | from the celebration of Sedan day, say “Like all Bavarian veterans of the war of 1870 I hoisted the flag of the Emperor upon my villa on Walchensee, and I am grateful to be able still to recall the victor- ies of Germany during the period. The truth is that though some extremists have succeeded in divesting themselves of na- tional feelings of patriotism the mass of | the socialists throughout the empire retain the sentiments which have been expressed so ably by Herr Auer.” A distinguished American eojourning in Berlin who has been an unbiased observer of the series of celebrations, and knowing the German peoble intimately, said: “Some of the Socialist press gang mis- represent the national sentiments of the workingman—a few of them perhaps un- | wittinely, but the most of them willfully. | Still the military sentiments, in a patri- otic sense, continue to pervade them. No matter how many socialists may be elected to the Reichstag there is no fear whatever that their patriotism will be lessened or that a revolution similar to that which occurred in France will ever oceur. The Socialist committee of Berlin,which sent a telegram to the Paris socialists on | Sedan day proclaiming the sohdarity of | nations, has not, says the Vossische Zei- | tung, found sympathy even among its own political friends. The Cologne Gazette, in | an article on the same subject, reiterates the assertions of last week thatno excep- tional laws are contemplated by the Gov- ernment, the democratic press to the con- | trary notwithstanding. The Gazette con- | tends that the Emperor's speech to the | guards on the occasion of the banquet in the white hall of the palace on the eve of Sedan day cannot be so interpreted. Pur- suing the subject the Gazette declares that if the Kaiser had desired the passage of | such laws he would have said so clearly and distinctly. Moreover, he would have appealed not to the people, but directly to the Legislature. | The generous tone adopted by most of | the German newspapers in their articles | commenting upon the anniversary of the | third republic of France ought to have | helped to compensate the French for the irritation which they experienced through | the ebullitions of the Germans in their | commemoration of the battle of Sedan. The Vossische Zeitung says that although founded in the hour of France’s greatest trial the present republic has saved the national honor and preserved the existence of France against the plots of the reaction- ists. It has also advanced the economic and military strength of France until she has become a stronger and richer power than she has been at any time since the | First Empire. Many other German papers have treated this subject in a similar man- ner. A strong force of Berlin detectives has been sent to Stettin to assist the police of that town in preserving order and protect- ing life and property during the military maneuvers which take place there this week. Additional to many other preeau- tions is an edict which has been issued ordering that any person arriving in Stet- tin between September 6 and September 13 shall report himself to the police within six hours. Failure to comply with this order will subject the delinquent to the penalties which wonld be imposed upon a criminal under parole. Excursion trains wili run at frequent intervals from Berlin, Hamburg and other cities to Stettin throughout the maneuvers. Pending the actual maneuvers, sham battles, etc., which will take place during the week, the Emperor hasamused him- | norl%n | Four inches oI water fell in two hours. | hauling freight from Valentine, Nebr., to self by springing surprises upon the mili- tary and civilians as well. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights his Majesty kept the batteries stationed between Swinemund and Misdroy, firing against an imaginary enemy supposed to be endeavor- ing to land on the river bank. An incident which took place on Friday gives a good idea of the fun the Kaiser is having in other directions than those re-¢ quiring strict military discipline. After visiting the batteries between Misdroy and Swinemund, he left the latter place on board the dispatch boat Grille, taking com- mand of that vessel as soon as he went on board. Reaching the mouth of the Oder, the Emperor ordered the boat to be sent ahead at full speed. The order wasobeyed immediately, and resulted in forcing the water of the river over the banks, which were lined with people cheering the pro- gress of the Emperor. The people were s0 massed that they were unable to get away from the waves which swept the banks, and they were consequently thoroughly drenched, but perfectly good-natured. The Kaiser was highly amused at seeing the waves roll through the crowd, many of whom were bowled down by the force of the water. Chancellor von Hohenlohe will return to Berlin on September 15. He is accompa- nied jn his visit to St. Petersburg by his son Maurice. At the Foreign Office it is understood that the Chancellor has been charged by the Kaiser with a commission to formally invite the Czar to visit Berlin in the spring of 1895. Prince Bismarck has accepted the presi- dency of the Stettin Krieger Verein (war society). The Emperor sent an invitation to Prince Bismarck to attend the banquet which will take place on Sevtember 9, as the representative of the province of Po- merania. The ex-Chancellor declined the invitation, pleading his infirmities and advanced age as reasons for his non-ac- ceptance. The theatrical season in Berlin has begun. The Rosenfelds of New York made a very successful opening of the Friederich The- ater in Wilhelmstrasse with “A Trip to Mars.” Herr Paasch, the new manager of tbe Berliner Theater, has made a great hit in the production of Kleist's ‘‘Penthise- lia.” The Teachers’ Union of Stettin serenaded the Empress in the great yard of the castle last evening. The Empress toid the con- ductor of the band how gratified she was at the attention paid to the bands accom- panying the troops. The Emperor and Empress attended divine service this morning. The colors of the regiments as- sembled, decorated with garlandsof oak leaves, were grouped around the Kaiser's pavilion, where an altar has been erected. The Second Army Corps formed a square around the pavilion, with an opening around the gate leading to the street. The Imperial party drove through this gate and out the avenue at 10 o’clock. The Kaiser called out *‘good morning” to each brigade as he passed. Toa group of officers and foreign attaches the Emperor said, “‘Good morning, comrades,” and the persons ad- dressed returned the greeting. Captain Evans and other representatives of the German-American soldiers sanga hymn. Chaplain Kramm preached a ser- mon, which the Kaiser had ordered not to exceed twenty minutes. The sermon was followed by a praver and hymns and roll of the drums. The Emperor stood erect throughout the service. At mnoon the troops marched past the Emperor, and later his Majesty entertained the officers and foreign attaches at luncheon in the military casino. The heat throughout the day was intense. LEVELED B HIGH WINDS Great Damage Done by a Gale and Rainstorm in Kansas. Bulldings Totally Destroyed or Un- roofed and Cellars Filled With Water. . EMPORIA, Kax., Sept. 8.—A very severe wind and rain storm passed over Emporia about 3 o'clock this afternoon and did con- siderable damage, although so far as can be learned no lives were lost. The worst damage was done at the State Normal School, the new east wing, which cost $30,000 and was but iately dedicated, being reduced to a mass of ruins. The gable end was blown in and _the roof rolled up like paper and carried off a half block. The entire inside of Albert Taylor Hall is open to the storm of rain, which still continues. The damage is estimated at about $10,000, and fears are entertained that the wind may yet blow the other walls out, as it now has a full sweep into a com- paratively confined space. Considerable other damage was done downtown. Clark’s wholesale furniture- store was partly unroofed and his stock more or less damaged. Basements and cellars throughont the city are flooded. But meager reports have as yet peen re- ceived from the surrounding country, whereitis feared the damage has been great At Hartford, twelve miles southeast of here, several houses are reported blown down, and one woman, a Miss Bessie Henry, is dangerously injured. At Neosbo Rapids a church, several dwellings and a livery stable are reported destroyed. A Santa Fe bridge, with 1000 feet of track, is also washed away near Reading. BT L THREATENED BY REDS. Prospects of an Uprising at the Rosebud Agency. CHAMBERLAIN, 8. DAK., Sept. 8.—The Sioux at the Rosebud Agency, under the leadership of Hollow Horn Be#r, a power- ful and influential chief, have warned Indian Agent Wright and his employes to vacate the agency within twenty-one days. They threaten to burn the agency build- ings. £ determination on the part of the agency to reduce rates paid Indians for the agency from 50 to 25 cents a hundred is the cause. The Indians took mortal offense and runners sent to distant camps brought to the agency about 3000 angry and excited Indians.” Their wrath was partly appeased by a promise to pay 35 cents per hundred. Crow Doy, the slayer of Spotted Tail, has been lodged in the agepcy jail for' the part he took in the present difficulty. Fort Niobrara is the nearest military rost, but the troops areabsent on the regu- ar field exercises. Information from Valentine states that the settlers adjacent to the reservation are becoming uneasy at the attitude of the Indians. —_— Arrest of a Mining Sharp. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 8.—Sigfried V. Nagle, 35 years of age, an alleged min- ing operator of Gibbonsville, Idaho, was arrested here to-day.. He is wanted in Chicago for obtaining $10,000 under false pretenses. i s Protected by Militia. MARQUTTE, Mich.,, Sept. 8.—The Champion Mining Company will start ore- crushers to work to-morrow morping under protection of the miiitia. Colonel Lyons’ force of State troops are now divided into three detachments stationed at widely dis- tant points, which indicates that he does not apprehend serious trouble from the strikers. BLUEAND GRAY MIEET, an advance of 11 per cent, to take effect to-morrow, with an order for a suspension of work in case the operators refused to grant the demand. At the same time meetings were arranged to be held this afternoon at the various coke plants in the region to choose delegates to the next con- Warriors Gathering for vention. the Reunion at Louisville. WILL OWN THE CITY True Southern Hospitality to Be Extended to the Visitors. ADVANCE GUARD GREETED. Preparations Made to Accommodate a Quarter of a Million Veterans. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8.—The Falls City opened her gates to-day and an- nounced that she was prepared to greet the advance hosts of the Grand Army. At 8 this afternoon Director-General Milli- ken, who had been wrestling for hours with the final reports of committees innum- erable, gave a sigh of relief and congratu- lated the crowd of prominent citizens that had assembled at headquarters upon the fact that the last detail had been com- pleted and that they now only awaited the coming of the guests for whose welcome and entertainment they had planned and worked since New Year’s day. *‘Open wide the gates,” said he, “and let us give the advance guard of the army such a Southern greeting as will reverber- ate over the continent,” and his hearers cheered the sentiment. The cherished plan of having the veter- ans of the blue and the gray meet once more in good fellowship on Southern soil and together eat the fruits of peace and good will that have ripened through three decades that have passed since the stirring days of the sixties is on the eve of realiza- tion, and gorgeously has Louisville arrayed herself in honor of the consummation of her greatest ambition. In all directions, from the cabins of the colored folks along the river front to the mansions of the wealthy in the suburbs, the small stores in the market-place and the big business blocks, “Old Glory” in ten8 and hundreds of thousands is floating triumphantly. Never since the war, in a Southern city, if in any one of the North, have the stars and stripes been more in evidence on a fes- tive occasion. There were no arrivals of organized posts this morning or afternoon, but some of the Middle States contingents, together with the committee which is to boom St. Paul for the next encampment are expected to- night. A number of representatives of New York and Massachusetts posts, how- ever, have come on in advance to complete the arrangements for accommodations. The first headquarters opened are those of Lafayette Post No. 140 of New York, and which has sent a courier. The post will keep open house at the Galt House, where General Miles, Rear-Admiral Meade, Gen- eral Daniel Butterfield, General A. W. Greeley of Arctic expedition fame, and other members of this famous post will be the central figures in a continuous re- union. | | At the meetings heard from the men favored an advance and instructed the delegates to the convention to insist on an increase. The labor leaders sav a strike is inevitable unless wages are advanced this week. — -— N'S FATE. i Will Be Tried in Missouri on a Trivial Charge. ( ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 8.—Chief Post- office Inspector Johnson, Deputy Sutton, Postmaster Ridgely of Springfield, IlL, and Assistant United States Attorney Graffner of the Western! district of Mis- souri held a eonference this evening over what disposition to make of the man un- der arrest at Springfield, Mo., now identi- fied as the postoffice robber Allen, who re- cently escaped from the Ludlow-street jail in New York. Inspector Sutton was in Springfield, Mo., last night, when Allen was examined be- fore United States Commissioner Silsby. He says the identification was thorough enough to satisfy all present that the pris- oner is Allen. fie gave the name of Tom Hogan when arrested here. He and one Claude Webb were detected in a flim-flam swindle at Ozark, Christian County, Mo., recently, and were arrested at Springfield by City Marshal Hindman, who recognized Hogan as the man wanted in New York. Attorney Graffner was advised by wire to-night that Judge Gibbon of Christian County had called the Grand Jury together Sunday, which body returned an indict- ment against Hogan or Allen and Webb. | This will serve to prevent the United States authorities from getting possession of Allen until the indictment is satisfied. Allen employed counsel, and, oddly enough, selected a brovher of Judge Gib- bon to defend him. HOLD HIGH CARNIVAL, Continued from First Page. Francisco this evening. Gilroy Parlor No. 81, N. 8. G.W., with the Gilroy Golden State band, were also in line. The ‘“‘vets” and their lady friends arrived on the regular train at 11:15 o’clock. Immediately on their arrival Grana Marshal Victor Bassignano formed the procession, and, headed by the Fifth Regiment band of San Jose, it marched from the depot up Monterey street. Representatives from Hollister's Fre- mont Parlor, San Lucas, Watsonville, Santa Cruz and Salinas parlors arrived in the afternoon train to-day and large dele- gations of citizens from San Jose and from all the towns of Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, and many hundreds from San Francisco are coming. The hose teams came in this afternoon. The accommodation committee, com- posed of Messrs. Herbert Robinson and Mark Lennox, is busy assigning rooms to the many vets and their friends in the private dwellings. The hotels are already crowded. On Monday there will be a parade in the morning and in the afternoon the hose teams*rom Hollister, Watsonville, Salinas, Monterey and Gilroy will compete for prizes. First prize, $200; second prize, $75. After the hose races the veteran firemen of San Francisco will give an exhibition of fighting fire with the old hand engine. The best decoratell wheel in line will get $10 and the club having the largest repre- BUILDING WARSHIPS, Work in the American Navy-Yards Being Expedited. ARMOR IS NOT LACKING. Officials Kept Constantly Sup- plied and Ordered to Lose No Time. HERBERT TIRED OF DELAY. Wants the Vessels Now Under Con- struction to Be Placed In Commission Soon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—Sec- retary Herbert to-day stated that the pub- lished statement that he had ordered work on vessels under construction to be expe- dited were entirely correct. The ships building in the navy have been lagging for years. The delay was for want of armor, but armor is now being furnished promptly. The Texas and the Maine, the former of which has just been put in commission, and the latter of which will be in a few days, really ought to have been in service months ago. Officials at the navy-yards naturally de- sire to keep a regular force steadily em- ployed, and the disposition is to take workmen from the ships that are building and do repair work with them, putting them back when the repair work is com- pleted. Not only have the Texas and Maine been delayed by this practice, but also the monitors Terrey, the Monad- nock and the puritan. “‘All these ships ought now be in com- mission,” said Secretary Herbert, “and I have ordered them to be pushed to com- vletion. Navy-yard officials are some. times tempted to neglect Government work and use part of the force on the Gov- ernment ships to do outside work as it comes in. The contracts all provide pen- aities for failure to complete work in time. Penalties for delay have frequently been imposed upon contractors by the Navy Department, but unfortunately Congress has in almost every instance, when it was asked, voted against the penalties. The effect of such acts is necessarily demoral- izing. “The Department has recently given or- ders to push all work on all navy-yard ships, and has also been urging the con- tractors to increased diligence. Itisto be hoped that penalties ircurred in the fu- ture for delay will be allowed to stand. “There is really nothing about ship- building that now renders it dithcult in the United States. No good reason can be given why ships authorized by Congress should not be completed with reasonable dispatch, ‘and I am simply insisting on prompt compliance with contract obliga- tions. We have already shown that we can build ships ana guns equal to any in the world and I hope our ship-builders who are now looking for contracts abroad will demonstrate to the world that ships can be built not only as well but as rapidly | in the United States as anywhere. THE CAPITOL AT SACRAMENTO AS IT WILL LOCE WHEN ILLUMINATED BY MYRIADS OF ELECIRIC LIGHTS. [Reproduced from a design furnished to “The Call” by the Executive Committee.} With the co-operation of Jeffersonville and New Albany, Louisville will be able to entertain this week without discomfort or inconveniencea third of a million visitors, feeding them by day and housing them by night. Most of the distinguished visitors will be the guests of the representative citizens at their homes. The festivities of the week will be inaugurated at 7 A. . to-morrow, when the citizens’ committee with the local Grand Army and ex-Con- federate posts will turn out to bid welcome to Commander-in-Chief Lawler and his staff, and to present to them the keys of the Falls City. GENERAL STRIKE CERTAIN. Miners in the Pennsylvania Coal Regions Demand Union Pay. UNIONTOWN, Pa., Sept. 8,—The situa- tion throughout the coal and coke regions to-night is one of doubt and apprehension, caused by the probability of a general strike this week.

Twenty-Five People Injured in the Mon- mouth Disaster. CHEROKEE, Kans, Sept. 8.—There were twenty-five people hurt in the wreck of the Kansas City, krort Scott and Mem- i;(nis passenger train near Monmouth, ans., yesterday afternoon, several seri- ously. As the train neared the bridge over Indian Creek, one mile west of Mon- mouth, an axle on the rear coach broke, and when the train had reached the bridge the baggage-car tipped and crashed into the side timbers of the bridge. The structure gave way and the entire bridge pitched into the creek, twenty feet below. The stream had been swollen by the recent heavy rains. The baggage-car fell first and the front coach fell partially over it, thus prevent- iutg the passengers from being drowned. After the train had fallen over the people slightly hurt broke open the windows in the side of the car uppermost and so freed themselves. They then pulled out the women and wounded men. Among those seriously hurt are: Brake- man Morris, Cherry Vale, Kans., who was in the smoking-car at the time of the acci- dent. He was badly bruised about the head and body. "Recovery doubtful. J. W. Bray, Parsons. Kans., severely cut about the head. Mrs. Oliver, Pittsburg, Kans., an elderly woman afflicted with heart trouble, so severely shocked that her condition is critical. An unknown miner from Webb City, Mo., arm fractured. James Grayson, Pittsburg, Kans., two ribs broken; J. E. Crandall, superintendent Kansas and Texas Coal Company; Mrs. Harper, Parsons, Kans.; Mrs. N. Morse, Webb City, Mo.; Mrs. E. Stoworth, Webb City, Mo.; Mrs. Betsford and child, Cherry Vale, Kans.; Patrick Harmon, engineer; George Emerson, conductor; obert Black, brakeman. The other passengers were only slightly bruised. The company surgeons were sent from Fort Scott and every attention given to the injured ones. ——— BLPOOR OUTLOOK FOR COTION. Except in a Few Localities the Crop Is Below the Average. NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 8.-- Hector D. Lane, President of the Cotton-Grower's Protective Association, has issued a circu- lar to Southern cotton-growers which ap- pears to-day. He says: “In the discharge of my duty to you, as the president of your association, I have personally examined the cotton States as iar as one man can reasonably do such a | thing, and have received many communi- cations from entirely reliable sourcesin every part of the Southerh cotton region. The crop here and in all save a few locali- ties is below the average. All possible causes except frosts have combined to pro- duce this result, the causes varving with the locality—drought, rust, boll worms, excessive rain and shedding. Itis gen- erally tbreva‘eeks late and in such a con- dition that™a_frost at the average date would be disastrous and before that time a calamity. The plantis notably deficient in fruit and the bolls are small and poorly developed.” LOS DECLINING YEARS. Cardinal Gibbon’s Tells of His Recent Visits to the Aged Pope. Stll] Strong in Mind, Though With the Pallor of Death Upon His Face. BALTIMORE, Mpb., Sept. 6.—Cardinal Gibborns talked to a large congregation to- day at the cathedral of the impressions made upon him during his second Euro- pean trip. “The first subject that naturally occurs to me,”” said his eminence, “regards sev- eral visits to the Pope. Represent to your- selves a man in his eighty-sixth year, with a pallor almost of death upon him. His body is more bent than it was eight or ten years ago, but his eye 1s bright and pene- trating. “‘His voice is strong and sonorous, his intellect remarkably clear and luminous. His memory is most tenacious. He has also astonishing power of physical endur- ance, which enables him to hold audiences for several consecutive hours, treating on most important subjects with Cardinals and foreign representatives, as well as with private individuals, and passing with ease and elasticity of mind from one sub- ject to another. He is remarkably familiar | with the public events of the day. “The Holy Father naturally rejoices at the religious progress of the United States and takes a deep interest in our political and social institutions and admires our re- public, where we have autkbority without despotism and liberty without license, and where our strength lies in the intelligence and patriotism of the people. For eight- een years the Pope has lived within the | walls of the Vatican, except when he takes some recreation in the Vatican grounds. He sometimes retires to those gardens and resides in the summer-house during the heated term.” Comparing the Governments of the United States and France, regarding their attitude toward religion, his eminence thought the result was in favor of this country. A “It is sad to observe,” he said, “how the civil authorities of France and some other | Catholic nations of KEurope studiously avoid all reference to Ged, to his provi- dence and to religion in their public and official utterances. But I am happy to say that the spirit of religion is still deeply rooted in the great mass of the French people.” S WOMEN UNDER SUSPICION. Supposed to Have Been Implicated in an Adams Express Robbery. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., Sept. 8.—There is no trace of Cashier Farden and Ticket Agent Barnet, further than that they left here on the 1:30 A. M. east bound Big Four train Sunday morning. Assistant Superintendent Curtiss of the Adams Express Company arrived fo-day. He said to-night that he could not tell how much money had been taken. He knows of one package of $16,000 and until the shippers are heard from it will not be known how much Farden took out of the safe. Suspicion_1s artached to the wives of Barnet and Farden; that they know all about the robbery because of alleged sus- icious actions on the night of their hus- nds’ disappearance. IR B1G FIRES IN MICHIGAN. Heavy Loss of Iwmber in Menominee Mills. MENOMINEE, MicH., Sept. 8.—Dis- patches from Hermansville report heavy loss of lunmber owned by the Wisconsin Land and Lumber Company by fire.

VICTIMS TORN TO SHREDS. Thelr Home Reduced to Splinters and Surrounding Bulld- ings Wrecked. DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept. 8.—Five per- sons were blown to instant death and three injured by an explosion of dynamite at Spechts Ferry, ten miles from this city on the river side, at 7 o’clock this morn- ing. The dead are: Edward Lalshlnw, aged 85, of Victory, Wis.; Mrs. Edward Lat- shaw, his wife; Ray Latshaw, aged 12, a son; Matt Latshaw, aged 6, a son; Hans Bjornstad. The injured are: Mabel Lat- shaw, aged 15, daughter of the above, still unconscious, but may recover; Matt Faber, quarryman, of Wabasha, Minn.; Ed Bensh, Landing, Iowa, eye knocked out. The Government is building wing dams on the opposite side of the river and stone is being quarried there for that purpose. Edward Latshaw had a large shanty where quarrymen boarded and in one end of this shanty there was stored five boxes or 150 pounds of dynamite. Latshaw’s son was firing at a target and one of the bullets missed its mark and struck the dynamite which caused the explosion. The concussion was terrible and was felt for miles. The shanty was blown into splinters and the Spechts residence and depot were badly damaged. Edward Lat- shaw and his wife of Victory, Wis., sons Ray and Matt and Hans Bjornstad were instantly killed. Latshaw was blown into the side of the bluff and nearly buried with sand. The clothing was nearly all torn from Mrs. Latshaw. Her little daughter Grace was found un- harmed by her mother’s side. As soon as the accident occurred a special train was sent up from here, which brought the injured to the hospital. GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA. New Regulations for the Guidance of Coast Port Officials.
