That the newest battle ship of the navy, the Missouri. had a narrow es cape from both being blown to pieces by the explosion of a magazine and and also being beached near Pensaco la. Fla.. on Thursday, caie to light. Capt. William S. Cowles prevented the latter when the.vessel was within 2;o yards -f the beach by giving or ders that the ship's course be changed. Chief Gunner's Mate Monson saved the ship and lives of over 6oo men by jumping into the open magazine and closing the door behind. It is stated, though not by officers of the Mis souri, that when the officers heard the explosion in the turret and saw the fire lapping through the top, they re alized that the hot magazine would next explode. and headed the ship for the beach. intending to beach her if possible before the explosion. Capt. Cowles quickly stopped the plan and put the ship back to sea. When the first explosion occurred in the turret the men in the handling room knew in an instant what had occurred. The big magazine door was open and standing against it were four charges of powder. Without a moment's hes itation Gunner's Mate Monson shoved these aside. jumped into the magazine and closed the door after him. The magazine was totally flooded with water and when the men opened the door they found Monson barely alive. water having reached his neck. The damage to the battle ship is much greater than was at first stated. In addition to the large amount of ammunition ruined by the magazine being flooded, which will amount to thousands of dollars, the after-turret is also badly injured, the top being burned away, and all the brass work melted inside. The hoist is a charred mass, and the mechanism of the guns completely ruined. The estimated damage caused by the ex plosion will reach $5o.ooo. The total list of dead numbers thirty-two. VEHICLE FOR WHISKEY. An Old Wagon With Hollow Axles Which held Four Gallons Each Topeka, Kan.. Capital. . An entirely new scheme of whiskey peddling has just been discovered in the Indian Teritory and it seems to have been going., on for- months. The officers of the district northwest of Herbert have known for some time that whiskey was being sold to var ious parties. but not until yesterday were the peddlers caught. They had travelled around the country in an old wagon drawn by a poor span of Indian ponies, and were, presumably, buying eggs -and poultry. They would sell small bottles of liquor to farmers and Indians through the neighbor hood. and $1 a pint was the usuai price. The officers discovered that both axles of the old wagon were of iron and very large. These axles were hollow and would hold four gallons each. The peddlers would remove a small bolt and insert a pump and draw the desired amount of wvhiskey. One of the peddlers admits having sold whiskey in this way for five months, and has made enough ,money to buy a farm in Texas. He says he will serve his time in jail and then buy a farm. Anxious to Please. This tale was told by Govcrnor Pennypacker. in beginning a re~ sponse to a toast at a Pennsylvania German banquet in Philadelphia. The story, he said, showed the readiness of the Pennslyvania Dutchman to obey those in authority. In 1864. Sheridan. under orders burned every farm fromi a valley above Staunton to a certain point be low Winchester. A band of angry rebels followed this raid. watching for a chance to pick up any stragglers. Among others who fell into their hands was a little Pennsylvania Dutchman. who quietly turned to his captors and inquired: "Vat you fellows going to do mit The reply came short and sharp: "Hang you." "Vel." he said. meekly. "rvatever is de rule." His good natured reply threw the Confederates into 2. roar of laughter nd saed1 his life.
