EXPLOSION AT BUDAPEST.
Powder Magazine Blows Vp, Kills Five
and Wounds Over 100. ; '
Budapest, July 30. A powder maga
zine at Funfkirchen, capital of the
ccunty of Baranya, exploded this morn
ing " with fatal results; The shock of
the explosion was terrific. The town
hall was almost completely wrecked
and other buildings in the vicinity were
badly damaged. S6 far as is known
five persons were instantly killed.
Later "investigation show's that the
explosion was more disastrous than
was at first reported. It is now known
that more than 400 persons were, in
jured, and it is thought that a large
proportion of them will die. Some of
the buildings in the vicinity of the
magazine collapsed under the effects
of the shock, and there is reason to
believe that many of their inmates
were buried In the ruins. The munici
pal authorities aided by ; the military
are making every effort to clear away
the ruins and rescue those who may be
imprisoned beneath them. The maga
zine was located but a short distance
from the square in, which the market
is held., To-day was market day and
the square was crowded, with rustics
when the explosion occurred. Among
the injured are many of these country
people.

EDITOR FISKE'S EXPLOIT.
Kissed Another Man's Wife and Took
Her Baby.
A' special to the Hartford Courant
from Willimantic says: .. Chester D.
Flske, editor of the Journal, , had a re
markable experience to-night. He is
well known as a hustler, but this time
his proclivity caused embarrassment.
He was expecting his wife on the train
from Hartford due here at 6:30. As
the train drew in he thought he spied
her through the window and hurried
aboard. Crowding down the aisle he
gave the woma.n a resounding kiss-,
caught the baby from her arms and
started for the platform. The woman
vainly tried to overtake him. On the
platform a lady acquaintance of - his
said, "Why, Mr. Fiske, that is not your
baby and that is not your wife."
"Wh-wh-what?" stammered Mr.
Fiske, holding the baby at arm's length
and examining its features. Before he
could say more, the mother of the baby
had her hands on the child and, despite
his astonishment, the poor man began
to look' relieved. Terrible possibilities
had been thronging into his mind.
The woman said that she had taken
the proceeding as a matter of course
since she had expected just such a re
ception by her husband. Then she
walked away up the street. Mrs. Flske
was not on the train.

WILSON.
His Particular Delight Was in Showing
. His Contempt for Nltro-Glycorine.
Los Angeles, Cal., July 4. "I have
been. In nearly every mining camp in
the United States west of the Mississip
pi river and in all mining sections in
Mexico, and have, of course, seen some
of the toughest frontier life anywhere,"
said J, M. Howard, an old-time miner
from Tombstone, Ariz., at the hotel the
other evening. "Such characters as
'Wild Bill,' 'Yellowstone Jack,' and the
dozens of others who have been famous
in flash literature for an apparent reck
lessness of human life and dare-devil
deeds, have been known to me person
ally. But the most ultra-reckless of
them all, and the most indifferent man
to his own safety I ever came across,
was a little, squeaky-voiced, bashful
teamster named John Wilson. I never
can forget that fellow, and neither will
the hundreds of men who were com
pelled to work about him.
"Wilson was at work for a mining
company in Alpine county, in central
California, In 1877. Nitro-glycerine was
used to loosen the gold quartz in the
hard, rocky sides of the mountain.
There were a lot of men in camp who
passed for bold, reckless and fearless
fellows, and each would have made a
good character for a sanguinary dime
novel. But when any Of them was of
fered fifty or sixty dollars a week and
'found just to drive the nitro-glyce-rlne
wagon from the railroad . station,
five miles away, to the mining camp
every other day, It was amusing to
hear the! excuses he would make for
preferring to work like a Trojan ten
hours a day down In the quartz mine
for five dollars a day. The road
through the mountains was hard and
rocky, and every one knew that if ever
a man literally took nis lire in ins
hands It was the one who carted nitro
glycerine over that mountain road. ,
"John Wilson happened to hear that
a man was wanted at bang-up good
pay and easy work to haul the explo
sive, and he came forty miles post
haste to the superintendent of the mine
to get the job. He was told all about the
awful risk he took, and was informed
it was possible that an , Imperceptible
jar of his wagon on that road at any
time might blow him and his horses
into eternity,- but that made no differ
ence with Wilson. He wanted the job.
"He soon became known among all
the miners In that part of California as
Devil Jack, and it was a fit name for
him. He had a chum named Bill Soggs,
who was almost as reckless as Jack.
have seen him and Bill play catch with
cans of glycerine they were unloading.
the dropping of one of which to the
ground would more than likely have
wiped , out of existence every person
around the diggings.
"It got so that whenever Jack Wilson
had a load of nitro-glycerine to unload
at the camp, everybody else,'' except
Bill Soggs, took to the. woods or hid be
hind the camp buildings and stayed
there until the stuff was out of their
custody. Once Devil Jack held a great
can of glycerine above his head and
let a drunken mlner.named Paterson
throw ten stones at it, from a distance
of thirty feet, on a bet of twenty dol
lars that he couldn't hit the can Once
out of the ten times. This was at
Smith's diggings, and'the whole camp
watched the insane proceeding from a
safe distance on the hill. ; One of the
stones hit Jack on the arm, not two
Inches below the can, and knocked it
put of his hand. He", caught the can,
though, before it reached the ground
or the throwing match would have end
ed there and then with the burial of
such bits of Jack and the miner a:f
could be found, and they would have
been exceedingly few and small. The
latter came close to the can several
times during the trial, but failed to hit
it, and Jack won his bet.
"Of course, the owners of the mine
would not allow such infernal disre
gard of human life as that to go on
without reprimand. Devil Jack was
hauled up before the superintendent
and directors at once, and given a good
talking to, but when he at once quit
his job of hauling nitro-glycerine and
no one else could be hired to take
Jack's place at double the pay, why,
the old teamster had to be reinstated,
Every one around the camp used to
hold his breath and wish the day was
over when Jack was due at the mines
with his load of explosive. I always
made it a point to bd at least half a
mile from camp when he hove into the
settlement.
"In those days the woods all through
the mountain mining regions were full
of wild animals, and It wasn't an un
common sight to see a bear or a Neva
da lynx or a catamount prowling
around the camps or isolated villages,
The lynx was frequently very aggres
sive and bold, and It was greatly feared
by the miners and workers on the out
side of the camps. More than once
men had been attacked by lynxes, and
James Carter was so badly hurt in
fighting one off that had jumped from a
tree upon him, as he' was driving
through a piece of woods, that he died
of his Injuries. One day Devil Jack
was on his way to a well with a load of
nitro-glycerine cartridges, and he
picked the road through what was
known as Sonway's woods. Bill dis
covered a Nevada lynx stealing along
through the branches of the trees at
one side of the road and keeping even
with the wagon. He called Jack's at
tentlon to the animq.1, and Jack said it
was watching for a chance to attack
them, but declared that if it followed
them as far as Rodney's Gulch he
would get rid of the dangerous beast.
"Rodney's Gulch was a gap in the
woods, a ravine twenty feet wide and
as many deep. The lynx did follow the
men as far as the opening, and Jack
stopped his wagon. The lynx crouched
a few feet away from the edge of the
nearest wall of the ravine, and before
Soggs surmised how Jack intended to
get rid of the animal, Jack grabbed up
a small tin can or cartridge o; mtro
glycerine and hurled it with all his
strength at the lynx, which was not
over twenty feet away. The cartridge
struck the soft body of the lynx square
on one side and knocked the animal
over on its back. The flesh and fur of
the, animal did not offer resistance to
the little can sufficient to cause concus
sion enough to explode it, but the can
rolled to the ground and slowly down a
gradual decline that led from where the
lynx lay to the edge of the ravine wail.
Soggs, with all his recklessness in
handling nitro-glycerine, stood aghast
at this deliberate risking of their lives
by Jack, for he knew that the instant
the can rolled into the ravine and
struck the rocks below, the terrible ex
plosion that had been so luckily avert
ed by Jack's good aim at the lynx
CARELESS JOHN)
would follow, Quicker than a Hash he
jumped from the wagon, tore like mad
up the ravine, and stood beneath the
spot where the cartridge would tumble
Into the gully when it reached the edge.
A scraggy bush of some kind grew out
of the top of the wall, and Just as
Soggs reached the spot the can or nitro
glycerine had rolled to the edge and
struck against the main stem of the
bush. The can had struck It a trills
out of the center, and the heavier end
of the cartridge moved on an inch or
two until it extended a little over tne
edge. Soggs stood below with up
reached hands to catch the can if it fell,
but there it hung against the bush, in a
position that looked as if a breath of
wind would topple it over into the ra
vine. All this had occupied but a few sec
onds. As soon as the cartridge lodged
against the bush Soggs ran back to the
road, shouting to Jack to drive on so
they could get to a safe distance before
the falling of the can and its certain
explosion on the rocks below. But
when he got to the wagon he saw Jack
with another cartridge raised ready to
hurl it after the first one. He lowered
it, though, and looked around at Soggs
as if he was disappointed.
1 'The infernal wildcat's give me the
slip, Bill, and took to the woods,' said
he. 'Lord, but I would like to burst one
o" these shells on him."
'That was probably , the first and last
time a wild animal was ever hunted
with pint nitro-glycerine cartridges,
and that was the last trip Devil Jack
ever drove for the company he was
working for. He wasn't discharged be
cause he so recklessly endangered life
and property by throwing cans of ni
tro-glycerine at a wildcat, but because
he drove on from the ravine without
getting back the first can he threw, and
the company would not stand such a
waste of their property.
"I heard that Devil Jack hauled nitre-glycerine
for six or seven years
more for a mining company up In
Dutch Flat region. He was just as
reckless there, and was discharged and
rehired again and again. He at last
met" his death by drowning having a
cramp while swimming in the Sacra
mento' river. The strange fact is that
the water was not over four feet deep
anywhere in the locality where he was
drowned. It seemed as If an average
boy could have got out of the water
safely." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

When a man
Rets his blood
and nerves in
perfect order,
lie shuts tba
door against
disease and
death. Germs
have no effect
on' a perfectly
healthy body.
It is when the
body is weak
and the blood
impure that dis
'ease genua
lodge and de
"velop. A man
mav set well
and keep well by using Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical uiscovery. ii is me one rcuuuio
cure for all pulmonary complaints. Its
effect upon throat, luugs and bronchial
tubes is immediate and pronounced. It is a
wonderful blood purifier. It works upon
the blood first. It stimulates the action oi
all the digestive organs, promotes assimila
tion and makes nutrition perfect. It con
tains elements that work directly on tha
nerves, giving them steadiness and strength.
It is for this reason highly recommended to
those suffering from brain fag, overwork
and loss of sleep, ruousanas oi people
have testified to the wonderful benefits re
ceived from this great medicine. Among
them, Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry
Co., Ind., who writes :
" I was so weak I could not walk across the
room without assistance. I took Doctor Tierce 3
Golden Mediol Discovery and his 'Favorite Pre
scription ' and one bottle of the ' Pleasant Pel
lets. 1 uegun lo improve very lust unci
of a few bottles. The physicians who attended
tne said I had ' dropsy,' and that my disease was
leading into pulmonary consumption. I baa
quite a cough, and the home phybiciaa gave me
up to die. I thank God that my cure is perma
nent. I do not feel any symptoms of my old dis
ease. I cannot praise Dr. Pierce and his remedies
too highly. The medicines come the nearest to
' raising the dead ' of any that I have ever known
about. They are worth their weight in gold."
The starting point of almost all diseases is
in the digestive organs. Constipation leads to
more diseases than any other one cause. It IS
not looked upon as a serious thing, but it is. It
means thut poisonous, effete matter, that should
be excreted, is retained in the body, and some
portions of It must, of course, be reabsorbed by
the blood. It is thus carried all over the body,
and has its effect in producing headaches, bilious
ness, snur stomach, foul breath, heart-burn, flat
ulence, palpitation of the heart, and many other
serious symptoms. It can be quickly and perma
nently cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. A
little vial contains forty " Pellets." At druggists.
