A CUIIIIER INSTANTLY KILLED.
ACCIDENT OCCURS AT THE GATES OF
THE ARLINGTON.
Cannon Had Not Been Sufficiently "Washed
Out Before the Second Charge Was Put
In Crowd Becomes Panic Stricken.
Washington Post.
Crufehed and disfigured by the impact
of the breech block of a burst ing can
non William T. Tooley, a corporal of
artillery was instantly killed during
the firing of the national salute outside
the gates of Arlington at noon yester
day. Blame, if blame there be, rests
upon the unfortunate victim himself,
for he was gunner of the piece, and the
fire left in the breech, to which alone
the premature discharge can be attri
buted, was an evidence of the careless
ness On the part of the man, who. not
only paid with his life the penalty oi
his dereliction, but checked with his
body the deadly flight of the metal
mass which went hurling directly to
ward the hearses and other men of the
gun detachment behind the piece, and
the great crowd of spectators gathered
yards away.
Two guns of the Fourth Battery,
United States Field Artillery, station
ed at Washington Barracks, were or
dered to Fort Meyer yesterday to dis
charge at noon the twenty-guns that
would salute the opening of the mem
orial ceremonies at Arlington. The can
non was placed in position outside the
west gate of Arlington, pointed toward
the southwest. Tne caissons and horses,
six to each, with those members of the
detachment not cannoners. took posi
tions eighteen yards to the rear of
their respective pieces. There was to
be an interval of twenty seconds be
tween the nring of each gun. which
made It necessary to swab out, load,
and fire each piece every forty seconds.
Corp. Tooley was gunner of gun No.
2, of which Lieut Carter was in com
mand. The charges were about two
pounds of black powder each .
When the bugler standing at the Ar
lington Mansion blew the notes of the
salute signal they were taken up by a
bugler with the artillery command. Im
mediately Gun No. 1 fired the first of
the blanks of theahrte. Twenty-seconds
later GunUo. 2, Tooley '"n red the
second. Gun No. 1 fired third and No.
1' the fourth without unusual occur
once. Cannoneer Young, of .Gun No.
1 stood ready with his lanyard to fire
the fifth gun, but before the order to
fire was given Gtin No. 2 had belched
forth flames from both ends, and in the
the Tieavy smoke of the black powder,
the formy of Corp Tooley was seen ly
ing1 on its face fifteen yards behind his
piece.
After firing the fourth gun, Tooley
Stepped forward and unscrewed the
Arech block while the barrel was
swabbed out by another man. Tooley
was supposed to wipe the inside of the
breech block with a wet sponge to ex
fSnihiish any flte that might remain.
'fchen he took the powder, pushed it in
thebreech, and closed the block. Just
as he stood bending forward, his hands
about to screw the block fast on the
piece, the explosion occurred. It, tore
the block from its hinges and sent it
fair Into the gunner's shoulder. His
ribs were crushed in and the metal tore
its way down his frame, ripping and
dismembering in its flight The man
was killed instantaneously, the shock
of the Impact throwing Tooleys head
forward with a snap that broke his
neck.
lYoung glanced toward the gun which
had fired out of turn and saw what
had happened. In a few seconds his
order to fire came, and for the rest of
the salute Gun No. 1 fired at twenty
second intervals.
The perfect discipline of the artil
lerymen was in evidence at once. ot
a man at gun No. 1 stirred from his
position. .They continued to load and
fire just twice as fast as before the
second piece had been disabled. The
crew of gun No. 2 had picked up To
ley's body, placed it on the caisson,
and the horses were dragging it away
toward: Fort Meyer hospital at a gal
lop .oefare the sixth gun of the salute 4
was fired.

leryman's body did much to induce the
spectators to resume their former did
tance from the firing party.
There were six horses and five men
standing eighteen yards dir
ectly behind Tooley. He was blown to
their very fet. Had not his body in
tervened, the breech block would have
been torn through these men and ani
mals.and probably continued its-course
through the deep rank of men, women,
children, grouped curiously about the
field.
Corp. Tooley was thirty-five years
of age., and had recently re-enlisted.
He had served in the Jieavy artillery.
His home was in Pennsylvania, be
tween Scjanton and Wilkesburre. Hi3
body will be interred with military
honors at Arlington today.
BOERS STILL, STRONG.
Their Latest Attack Carries
Dismay to Englishmen Who
Long for Peace.
London, May 31. The announcement
during the past few days that the Boers
were displaying increased activity in
several parts of South Africa have been
followed by a cablegram from General
Kitchener which is discouraging to
those who have been persistently ex
pecting the collapse of burgher opposi
tion. There has been a severe engage
ment between the Boers and the Brit
ish at Vlakfontein with heavy losses
on both sides, indicating that the bur
ghers are not only not demoralized
as has been frequently reported, but
that they are still dangerousry,aggre3
sive. The report from General-. KitQhten-.
er to the War Office is the most un
propropitious received for some time
and has been the subject of a great
deal of regretful comment today.
The dispatch from General Kitchen
er follows:
"Delarey attacked Brigadier General
Dixon at Vlakfontein yesterday and se
vere fighting ensued. .The Boers were
eventually driven off with heavy loss
es, leaving 35 dead on the fielcK I re
grot, to . announce that our casualties
were severe. We had. 174 killed nd
wounded. Five officers were killed.'
The unusual number of officers slain
in the combat shows that the bughers
have not deteriorated in their marks
manship, and the list of the killed is
awaited here with considerable anxie-
It is take,n from the dispatch that
the Boers were finally forceclto' retire'
in disorder and
mat uney carrjea
away numbers of tUrWM
when they , retreated. The details Of
the engagement are awaited with in
tense interest although it is possible
that the War Office will decide not to
make them public when they are re
cived.from General Kitchener.

In. the mayor's court yesterday af
ternoon two negro women contributed
$7 a piece for disorderly conduct. Ike
Clapp aided the city with $7.90 for
disorderly conduct, and the South

were assessed $2.90 each.

THE COUNT COMPLETE.
Population of the Country is
Stated to Be 76,303,387.
Washington, May 31. The Census
Bureau this afternoon made its final
announcement of the population of the
United States as recorder by the cen
sus of. 1900. The population of the
country is 76,303,387.
A previous, announcement, made No
vemeber 27, last, placed the population
at 76,304,799, but., as stated at the time,
this figure was subject to change, be
cause full reports of a number of per
sons in the military and naval service
of the United States abroad had not
been made. These and certain alter
ations caused by the discovery of
frauds in Maryland and other places
bring the total down tc 76,303,cS7 as
above stated. This figure includes the
population of Alaska, Hawaii, Indian
Territory and Indian Reservations.
The bureau today issued the first half
of its final report of the various statis
tics of population. It is in the form of
a monograph and makes up about five
hundred pages. The other portion of
the final report on population will be
issued during the early fall, putting the
entire volume in the hands of the pub
lic at least four years in advance of any
previous census.
The census officials feel much grati
fied that they are enabled to give these
complete facts to the public in less than
cne year since the enumeration began.

cide of a well-dressed mah,whieh Free

looked out over the Delaware about
7 : 30 tonight. The suicide was probably
J. Wilson McMahon, of Atlantic City,
where he left the "sweetest girl."
The lawn of Mr. Jones' residence
Slopes down to the river about half a
mile above here,and after finishing his
supper he strolled put to enjoy the sun
set As he scanned the placid water
his eye rested upon a man standing in
a little bateau, apparently in deep med
itation, not many yards from- shore.
Suddenly While his boat drifted with,
the tide, the man look off his light coat
laid it carefully on the seat, looked
toward the then setting sun, and, put-. ,
ting his hands, together after the fash-. '
ion of an expert diver, mounted th&
gunwale and plunged head first ' into
the river. . ,r -.
