There was another explosion scare among Jersey City ofTlcials late to-day when Michael Mulligan, su perintendent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, reported that the smould ering fire from tons of sugar stored in live of the warehouses was spread ing to two freight cars loaded with high explosives and shrapnel at tho extreme end of Black Tom Island. The cars bad been burled under de bris and could not be removed to a place of safety. Under Control. Acting Fire Chief Wm.

Before Congress. Washington, Aug. 2.-Representa tive Hamil, of New Jersey, spoke In the House to-day, denouncing the conditions which made possible the explosion on Black Tom Island, In New York harbor, and calling on Congress to enact legislatloa to pre vent such catastrophes in the future. He said he would introduce a bill providing that when munitions are shipped in the United States for oth ers than the American army their transit and storage shall be subject wholly to regulations of the commu nities through which it passes or in which it is stored. He said protests to the Interstate Commerce Commission were referred to the director of the railroad's bu real of combustibles, which virtually was turning over the question to the railroads.

DesShnmps, candidate ;or Governor, took place on the hotel porch here this afternoon. Mr. Des Champs was struck above the temple on the right sido and considerably blooded. Solicitor Robert A. Cooper and Charley Verner, with some oth ers, pull the contestants apart. Mr. DesChamps was bleeding profusely, but a physician was obtained and stanched the flow of blood. They were put under bonds of $15 each by Acting Mayor Barron. The difficulty took place on the porch of the hotel just as the last speaker was addressing the campaign crowd on tho court house square several blocks away. Dr. Adams was asked about the matter? by a re porter and stated that he was con versing with Mr. DesChamps and made a pleasant reference to some Incident on the train the other day going to Sumter, that Mr. Des Champs replied with some show of heat, and with some more conversa tion ensuing Mr. DesChamps told him (Dr. Adams) that he was tired of his "following him up." Dr. Adams gave the lie to this charge, whereupon, lie said, Mr. DesChamps reached in his pocket, he supposed for his knife, and he then hit him, knocking bim dawn. Me struck wi .h lils left hand. Before any more blows were struck bystanders got hold of each one. M-. Adams said that he tried to avoid a difficulty, but when he thought Mr. DesChamps was going to draw a knife on him he struck him. Mr. DesChamps, on being asked about the matter, said that he was sitting on one side of the hotel porch when Dr. Adams came up and sat down beside him, that there was some conversation between them, and he arose to walk away, and Dr Adams hit him when his side was turned. He said he stumbled and fell over some chairs, and before he could rise and get back at him he was caught and held. He said Dr. Adams had been "following him up" for several days and he had tried in every way to avoid him. Eye-witnesses to the affair state that after the blow was struck and Mr. DesChamps was down he arose and had drawn his knife out when be was caught by Mr. Cooper and an other man, and that Mr. Verner had already caught hold of Dr. Adams and pulled him off the piazza of the hotel and out into the yard. Mr. DesChamps was taken by friends across the street to a doctor's office and Dr. Adams was taken by friends to his room In the hotel. Tho matter caused considerable excitement on the street, the cam paign crowd just getting hold of the news when the meeting broke up. THOS. ?. FELDER IS STA ??ED.

Felder, prominent mem ber of the Atlanta bar, attorney for the law enforcement committee, and a leader of the forces opposing the proposed legislation looking to the recall of Mayor Pierpont, of Savan nah, was stabbed in the abdomen and possibly badly injured during a light, in the hallway of the second floor of the Kimball House, with G. K. Vasson, front door-keeper of the House of Representatives, last night at about 8.40 o'clock. During tho debate in the Senate Thursday over the recall bill, Sena tor Picket and other speakers made serious and personal accusations against Felder. Felder, listening from the roar of the Senate cham ber, waited until Picket had conclud ed his speech, when he wrote a note to him applying to him a bitter epi thet, which note he sent to Picket by a page. Nothing moro came of it at that time, but ns it became generally known that Felder had written the note, the prediction was freely made that iier'oiH trouble would come out of lt. .lust what Inspired the House rloor-l-coper to take the initiative and the offensive, if he did, is not known. in fact, ho himself denied that he was the aggressor. Vasson was Immediately taken into custody by police officers, who arrested him in the Kimball lobby. He made no attempt to escape. He BtOUtty denied that he was tho ag gressor in the light, declaring that Felder attacked him first, and dur ing tho scuflle which ensued that Felder was cut with his own knife. According to accounts of thc affray from othor sources, Felder bad just emerged from a meeting of tho Sa vannah anti-recall faction. As he was walking down the ballway alone, toward the elevator, he met Vasson, who said to Felder: "You're tho d-d CLOUDBURST IN TENNESSEE Results iii Known Deatlis to Number of Thirty-Six. Middlesboro. Ky., Aug. 3.-The death list due to the Hood on Blair's creojt, Clayborn? county, Tennessee, was increased to 36 late to-night, when fuller reports from the Hooded district were received here. From parties who have returned from the stricken district it was learned that Thomas McBee, his wife and I seven children, and Bob Charnley and his wife, have been added to the death Hst, bringing the total up to 36. The water was reported to be very slow in subsiding, and for that rea son the creek had not been followed the entire distance-ten miles- to its mouth. Until this is done lt will not bo known how many persons have been drowned. So far only four bodies have been found. Everything along Blair's creek has been washed away. In some places the water had run up on the mountain side 30 feet. D. C. Edmonds, whose wife and four children were drowned, escaped after being washed for five miles among driftwood. Two of Edmonds' children were found alive on drift timber three miles from home. Ed monds said he was awakened at 3 o'clock this morning by the roaring of the flood. Water was all around his house, and a foot deep on the tloor. Before he could awaken the family, the building was moved from its foundations and started floating down the stream. Edmonds said the creek was full of driftwood and de bris and that he does not know how he got out of the blinding or how he was piled, on the bank. Some of the survivors tell thrilling tales of escape, but others say that the water came upon them dining the night and that before they had time to flee, their homes were being washed away. Rescue parties stayed In the valley to-night with the expectation that they could start work In earnest in the morning If the waters began to recede. ROPER SCHEDULED TO RISE.

Roper, of South Carolina, as first assistant postmaster general, to take part in the direction of cam paign publicity work for the National Democratic Committee, lt is regard ed here as quite likely that on the completion of this work Mr. Roner will he made one of the Democratic members of the tariff commission, which is a feature of the pending special revenue legislation. Mr. Roper is one of the leading tariff experts of the country, having had many years' experience in ibo census bureau and having been the right-hand man of Mr. Underwood when the latter was in charge of the framing of Democratic tariff bills, as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House. The Presi dent had Mr. Roper for a long time under favorable consideration for membership in the Federal Trade Commission. This Couple Married 72 Years. Clinton, Mo., Aug. 6.-Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

Stabbed on lycft Side. A cursory examination showed that Felder had been stabbed on the left side, just above the belt, the knife shaving the lower rib and penetrat ing the intestinal cavity. A blood clot immediately formed within, the physician said, but whether or not tho Intestines had been penetrated he could not at the moment tell. Vasson has been front door-keeper at the House since the session Open ed. He lives at East Point. .Just what his personal hatred of Felder originated from is not known, al though it is known that he has been greatly interested in the prohibition move, especially in the effort hoing made to enact a law whereby to re call Mayor Pierpont. Mr. Felder was taken at 9.30 o'clock last night to St. Joseph's in firmary. THE RACE OF LIFE. A Talk With the Boys. (Progressive Partner.) (Tho oldest fanners' organization In America ls tho National Orange. It ls very much like the Fanners' Un ion and has local organizations in nearly all tho New England and North Central States. The hoad of tho organization is Oliver Wilsen, and our boys should be Interested in this talk by one of tho foremost agri cultural leaders of America.) Honesty, Industry, KeonOniy. There are at least three qualtiles that every man must possess before it can be said that he has made a true and real success in life. These qualities aro (1) honesty, (2) Indus try, and (3) economy. Be honest with yourselves as well aa with others. Be industrious. This does not mean in manual labor alone, but in doing good and trying to better the condition of your fellows. Plant a flower where a thorn grew before. Practice economy, not alone tn the expenditure of money, but In time, and see that this expenditure brings its full value of reward. Do not con found economy with stinginess, for they are vastly different. So man age your affairs that your expendi tures will at least be a little less than your income. There is a place ready and walt ing for tho young nun possessing those qualifications. lt may bc on the farm, in shop or factory or be hind the desk of the counting house. Remember, boys, that the demand ls coming from thc business world to day for boys who are honest and can make good. Oliver Wilson, Master of National Grange.
