DEBATE NOT TOLERATED.
Watt Hardin Declined to Speak j
and Scored His Unruly
Constituents.
PEUNKEN MEN AND POLITICS.
The Disorderly Crowd Broke Up in
a Row After One Man Was
Killed by Lightning.
LEXINGTON-,. Ky., Aug. 30.— The sixth
joint debate between the Republican and
Democratic candidates for Governor of
Kentucky, Colonel William O. Bradley
and P. Watt HRrdin, which was to have
taken place at the Henry County fair
grounds, near 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
Looted 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,
givine 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
would never be called upon to witness such
disgraceful scenes again. The crowd then
dispersed.
TO DEFEAT HABBISOX.
Story That McKinlnj and Seed Hare
Formed a Compact.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 30.— The
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 incipi
ency of development — the difficulty of de
livering a stipulated consignment of goods.

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 City's
$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, Yt., on September 4, and show
cause why the settlement arrived at be
tween the city and the company, whereby
the former get 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 sale at a premium of
$16 on the $1000 to the syndicate headed by
Kidder, Peabody & Co. Meanwhile the
wa^ar^ce^pany questioned the legality of
the DonSs 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.

Terrible Crime Committed by a Slavonian
in Xew York.
ALBANY, N. V., Aug. 30.— A special to
the Journal from Johnstown, N. V., says:
A horrible murder was committed this
morning in this city. Miss Teresa Keo
marny, a beautiful girl, 22 years of age, was
killed by her lover, John Flamat, 30 years
old. Both are Slavonians and were to have
been married within a month. After mur
dering his victim, 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, be would
kill her, was found near the scene of the
crime. The murderer "was locked up.
There is great excitement in the city and

the Slavonians and Hungarians would,

get hold of him.
CONDEXSIXG 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 larger about twenty-eight
ounces of hard bread, boud and coffee,
specially prepared. The coffee and soup
are in the form of square tablets. The
entire package weighs 35 ounces and con
tains aoout 85 ..cubic 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 suffi
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 CRAPO
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.— 0n 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
que, Chile, announcing that Captain
Hardy's vessel was burned on the 2d of
July, and in fifteen minutes after the fire
was discovered went to the bottcm in six
teen fathoni3 of water. There were twenty
four persons on board, including the wife
and son of Captain Hardy, but fortunately
there was no 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 Spanish
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 sth inst.
So far as known, the €onsul 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
allowed his insurance to lapse and so* lost
all. The cargo, however, was, as usual,
in the case of nitrate, fully insured. The
usual precautions aeainst fire had been
taken, and Captain Hardy suspects that
one or more of the crew intentionally set
tire to the ship, although he has no proof
of the fact.
At the request, of Captain Hardy the
C<snsul 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 Iquique 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
ing port of Caleta Buena.
The 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
jean, master of the French hark Psyche.
"As soon as the alarm of fire was given
he leaped irom his bed, ordered a boat low
ered, and, without waiting to put on .his
trousers, went personally, together with
his second mate and a sailor, to the rescue
of the imperiled crew, eleven of whom he
took. off from the burning ship.
"Captain Jouanjran 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."
KEPT UP THE BEBEBTE.
The Syndicate Made a Deposit in the -Virfc
of Time.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 30.— 1t is
generally recbgnized here in official circles
that the 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. At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon As
sistant Treasurer Jordan at New York tele
graphed that $2,250,000 in gold had been
withdrawn for export to Europe. This re
duced the treasury gold reserve to $99,456.
--634. At 3:35 o'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.

AT SLEEP T HOLLOW MIKE.
It Will Be a JLong Time Before the
Bodies Can Be Beached.
CENTRAL CITY, Colo., 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-ga!lon 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 shaft and is still rising, while it
has lowered in the Fisk over 10Q feet.
The yarioas mines of Bob Tail Hill have
been in dispute for several years over the
question of drainage, the Fisk and Gregory
lodes having puinping-planis, and when
they worked to lower levels they com
pletely drained the Sleepy Hollow and
Americus. Some time a^o 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-plantß 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. V., 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 eupposed that
Michigan would present the name of Don
M. Dickinson to the National Convention
au the choice of its delegation.
"I don't care at this time to enter into
any discttasio-n of itr. Dickinson's can
didacy," said Campau. "I presume that
he will be a candidate and that Michigan
will support him. It is entirely too early
to talk about possible nominees."
."What about Cleveland and a ,third
term ?"
"I do not believe that Cleveland is a can
didate. But with respect to the third-terra
agitation I will s-ay this, that trie people of
this country are unalterably opposed : ta 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 coramitteeman,
"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 bimetallisms. The next con
vention will not reflect 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 should take any steps in the
direction of the adoption of such a system
irrespective of the sentimerits 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 Ihere 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."
General Coppinger and the Beds.
OMAHA, Nkbr., Aug. 30.— General Cop
pinger left for Washington this afternoon,
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 trict
1.50 miles Jong by 100 wide about Jacksons
Hole, and to advise a3 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.
Was Kot Destroyed.
NEW YORK, N. V., 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 hai leased to the Spanish
Government and which it has been
rumored, according to a morning paper,
was destroyed by dynamite while en route
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 her de
struction is without foundation.

Was Jilll[/ Scanlan's Brother.
RALEIGH, N. C, Aug. 30.— 1t 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 Fayetteyille.
A letter recently received here from Wilson
describes a man killed on the railroad.
The description seems to fit fcScaolan
exactly.

CLOSE OF TBE COSCZAVE.
Many Matter* of Interest to Matons
Were Conaidered.
BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 30.— 1t 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. Adjournment was
announced at 5:30 o'clock by Grand Master
Sir La Rue Thomas.
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,
which; would operate, if adopted, to the
advantage of the larger state body.
The following officers were then in
stalled by Grand Master McCurdy: Grand
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. Melishof Ohio; grand
treasurer, H. W T ales Lines of Connecticut;
grand recorder, William H. Mayo of Mis
souri.
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, Edpar 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 •
Jurisprudence— 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 to the retir
ing grand master, McCurdy, and the con
clave was over.
THREE WISE MEN INDEED.
They Caused a Commotion by
Their Arrival With a Pon
derous Box.
It Contained a Flying Machine, With
Which the Inventors Will
Startla 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 three citi
zens of Indianapolis. They registered as
George C. Webster, William 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 and
two in width. 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.
The 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
il they questioned the ability of Mr. Gim
ber to float such 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.

GO BACK
To your early life and see if you have not
done yourself an injury by some indis-
creet acts. See if you cannot recall many
excesses which have tended to rob you of
the vigorous health which should be yours
now.' If you will do that you will find a
reason for your present failure of manly
vigor.
You can replace the youthful energy
which has been wasted. Electricity is the
foundation of the nervous and vital forces.
That is what you nave lost. Get it back
and vigorous manhood will come to you
through it. • *> :
• Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt will soak
your system full of electricity. It will
build up your vital strength and perfect
manhood. It is as good for women as for
men. . •
