TERRIBLE NAVAL DISASTER. Five Officers and 24 Men Killed fey ah Erloion on the Battleship . Missouri. BIG VERDICT AGAINST SOUTHERN Pensaeoh, Fla., April 13. While on the target range this afternoon lf-0O pounds of pow der exploded on the battleship Missouri, killing five officers and twenty-four men and injuring a number of others, two of whom will-die. . Tim Missouri was oa the tar get ran'c with the Texas and jjr0oklyn at practice ; about noon, when a charge of powder in the t'.v(;!vcinch left-hand gun ex ploded, ignited from gases, and d'n.pping. 'below, ignited four fir,irg.es of powder in the handling-room, and all exploded, and only one man of the entire turret and handling 'crew 'survives. But for the prompt and efficient work of Capt.i Cowles in closing .tho handling-room and magazine, one of the magazines would have exploded nnd the ship would iavo been destroyed. - About noon, after the first pointer' of the after twelve-inch piece had tired his string and tho. .second pointer had fired the third shot of his string, the charge ignited. The fourth shot was being loaded and, from all indications, the first half of the cl large had been rammed home nnd the second section was being rammed home, when gases from the shot previously fired, or por. tions of - the cloth cover, ignited the powder. The breech was open arid a dull thud gave notice of something unusual. No loud report was made, but the flames were seen to leap from every portion of the turret. "A few seconds later another explosion, somewhat more fierce, occurred. This was in the ' handling-room below, where 1,600 pounds of powder, or four charges ready to be hoisted above, had ignited. The twenty-five men of the turret were found lying in a heap. They had started for the exit when the fiyst explosion oc curred and had just reached there when the more terrible ex plosion in the handling-room oc curred, which 4urned and strangled them to death. Lieut. Davidson, the officer in charge of tha turret, had evidently given sope command to theXmen, as he was on top of the heap of men, having fallen there aiter.he had allowed them to pass him to get out of the turret. The bodies were ; hardly recognizable, the terrible and quick fire "having burnt the clothing from the bodies of the men, and the flesh hung from them in shreds. The faces were mutilated by the smoke and flames. Onljr one man was breathing when .the turret crew-was rescued, i and he died a moment after he reached deck. .. A man named Andrews was put in lail here baturday, on a charge of attempting to drown a man named Powers, in -Deep River, the day before. It seems that he lured Powers into a boat to cross the river, otehsibly to get some blockade whiskey, and when about in the middle of the river, pushed him overboard, and would have drowned him but for th e arrival of a third party. How would hanging fit a crime so dia bolical as this ? Carthage Blade. Woman Awarded $25,000 for Hugs and Insults Received on Train. Charleston, S. C, April 16. Unless the State Supreme Court shall rule otherwise the South ern railway will be forced to pay $25,000 to Mrs. Sumie Franklin, of Newberry, this state, who re ceived that verdict for an alleged outrage at the hands of men at present unknown. After a hear ing at Greenville, Judge Kliigh, in the Common Pleas Court, an nounced that he would not grant a new trial, nor would he reduce the verdict to a smaller amount. This is perhaps the most remark able damage suit ever tried in South Carolina. Mrs. Franklin claims that some months ago, on a Southern train, bound for Greenville, two men hugged her and made indecent proposals, causing mental and physical suf fering. For the hugs and insults she wanted $50,000. The conduc tor interfered as soon as the .wo man complained to him. The case will go- to the Supreme Court on an appeal. . Saves Two From Death.

Burlington News. We have heard of many people who were meaner than the devil wanted them to be, but one of the meanest that we have ever heard of was the one who stole the little cradle from Bradley's drug store some weeks ago. This was a little cradle which j i i . was put on. ine snow caso iur th& purpose of allowing people to drno nickels, oennies. dimes or any amount they saw fit, for the benefit of the proposed Orphan age which will be established at Greensboro soon.

Russia Again Plunged in Grief. St. Petersburg, April 14. The ofiicial bulletin this afternoon conveying the intelligence of the loss of another torpedo boat de stroyer and the accidental crippl ing of another battleship was al most as severe a blow as the loss of the Petropavlovsk yesterday and plunged the whole town anew into grief. The Russian wnrrl in the text of the official 'dispatch describing the accident to the Phobeida means eitner "mine" or "torpedo. " but the qualifying verb indicates some thing moving towards the ship. The, dispatch puts an end to the idea prevailing here that there had been an engagement follow ing the disaster to the Petro oavlovsk. , TtWtv-five officers ana men mf . t np.rished on board the torpeao boat destroyer Beztrashini. He Gave Up. A darkey in Alabama was once brought mto court on ac count of a comparatively petty offense. When the clerk of the court be- gan the reacting ot the charge, which form. against Ezekiel Jenkins," the culprit evinced signs of amaze ment and terror. When the query was put to him, "Have you anything to say, etc., and do you plead guilty or not guilty?" the unfortunate negro stammered i J'lt ain't no use, Yo' Honah! I ain't guilty; but ef de whole State ob Alaba man am ag'in one po' niggah, Ise gwihe gibe up right nov,l" A Russian Disaster. Charlotte Chronicle. . . The war news has suddenly! became very interesting. The sinking of a big battleship, with a vice admiral and all the, crew, only four officers being saved, and with a loss of life estimated at between 600 and 700 people, is in itself a stupendous event, whether brought about by acci dent, as the Russian dispatches claim, or by the guns or torpe does of the enemy. It is a great blow to Kussia and will be an in spiring event to the Japanese cause. If the ship was destroyed oy a mine, n is out another evi dence of the bungling of Russian engineers and navigators, for if; previous accounts are to be be lieved a coupls of smaller Rus sian vessels have been sunk by striking Russian mines, while a submarine torpedo boat was sent1 to the bottom and all its crew drowned by being run down by a 1 steamer. It is not to the credit of the Russian government that the majority of the casualties in Port Arthur harbor so far are to be accredited to the 'responsibil ity of that govern m en t . The los s of this big ship is a staggering one to Russia. The dispatches to-day indicate two things of interest. One is that the Japanese neet sailed in to bombard Port Arthur and re tired under the combined fire of ports and fleets and that an en gagement later took place on the open sea off the port. The President Contributes $100. - Washington April 14. The President and Secretary of War have each contributed a hundred dollars as the nucleus of a fund for the relief of the dependents of the enlisted men who were killed on "the Missouri. In a let ter to the Secretary of War ac companying the check, the Pres ident said : "Under the conditions of mod ern warfare, in order , efficiently to prepare for war, risks must be run similar in kind, though not in degree, to the risk of bat tle, and these men died for their country as much as if the ship had been in action against the enemy." Superintendent Joyner sends out a circular containing some important information. Among other thinar the circular tells us that there are now 193 local tax districts in the State, 149 of which have beendded since the inauguration of the campaign two years ago. Within this same period 1,200 unnecessary small districts have consolidated into larger distri ''.- and 884 new school houses .iave been built on modern plans and are far better than those heretofore construct ed. A great educational cam paign is to be waged this year. Of course, . no man is good enough at the age of seventeen, but at the age of twenty-seven any old man with money will do. 111119 AAfcgetable PrepsralionrorAs similatii IheFocdandBcgula ting the S Beads and Bowels cf wlM U UJJbilU 'For Infants and Children.
