CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION BROUG9T TO ABRUP r END AT ASHVILLE. Falled :o swab C noon When Star ad H - load Thirty Ponnds Yowder Were igni 1ed SI cke ing.icene Follows Many will L ,a Ey sight. A crowd of 100 or more men and boys were firing a C-ristmas salute from an old cannon on the outskirts of Ashville, Christmas, when a can of 30 pounds of powder exploded in the thick of the crowd. Thirty or forty persons were injured, but none fatal ly. The cannon was fired several times and then Joseph Finch, an em p!oyee of the Southern railway, pick ed up the powder can and began to re load the cannon. The gun had not teen swabbed and the moment the tiny stream of powder struck the heat ed metal there was a flash and the powder exploded with a report that made the earth tremble. A moment later there was a scene that made sick the hearts of those watching from a nearby hill. In the smoke that rose from the explosion they saw human beings run blindly here and there over the bill, falling and rising only to fall again, as they frantically rush ed about, blinded and powder-burned, madly trying to extinguish their fl im ing clothing. Those who were unhurt ran to the aid or the unfortunate ones, smothering the flaming garments cr cutting the clothing from their bodies. One man was blown or rolled com pletely down the high bluff 200 feet, nearly to the river. People in the neighborhood ran to the scene of the explosion and the work of giving assistance to the in jured began. The hill was dotted with blackened groaning figures, some of whom lay almost perfectly nude. A number of the injured were able to walk from the scene, while others were provided andgentle hands placed the more seriously wounded on them and conveyed them to an old residence n'earby, which was improvised into a hospital. STARVATION IN CUBA. Horrible spectacle of Women and Child ren Dying from Hanger. Advices from Washington states that a case of the most profound dis tress prevails among many thousands of people in Cuba. Starvation not only impends but is an actual fact, The president has been informed of the facts from sources whose credita bility cannot be doubted. He had gone to the length of his constitution al power in calling the state of affairs to the attention of the American peo rle. The state department has used all of its authority to mitigate the conditions there, and the letter to the public sent out by secretary Sherman tne day before Onristmas pointed out the way to further alleviate the mis erable condition of the reconcentrades Today the sum of $5.000 was received by Assistant Secretary Day from certain charitably disposed people whose names are not disclosed, and this sum will be remitted by telegraph early tomorrow morning to Consul General Lee for disbursement among the more pressing cases. It is hoped, oy the department of state that the American people will come to the r-lief and that promp .ly by subscrip tions of money, clothaing and supplies of various kinds. The newspapers are expected to lend a generous aid in c Irrylsg forward this movement. The machinery for distribution has beein provided by the state department and Consul General Lee has under taken, with the aid of the American consular officers in Cuba to give per sooal attention to the alieviation of distress by the distributing of the gifis of the American people. Onae line of steamers plying between New York and Havana, the Ward Line, it is said, has undertaken to for ward snv cozntributions of goods to. General Lee at Havanna, and it is be lieved that the American railroads will do their part by carrying the 'goods to the seaboard. The Spanish authori ties have consented to remit all duties on relief supplies so forwarded. The state department directs that they be sent direct to Consul General Lee, either money by draft or check or goods. Consul General Lee tonight cabled the state department just what is wanting at this juncture, and his list is ss follows: Summer clothing, second-hand or otherwise, nrincipally for wcomen and children; medi ines for fever, including a large pro portion of quinine; hard bread, coin meal, bacon, rice, lard, potatoes, beans, peas, sal fish, principally cod fish, and any canned goods and espec ially condensed milk for the starving children. Money will also be useful to secure nurses, medicines and for many other necessary purposes Caring for the Fatherless. The following excerpt from the re port on the condition of the Epworth orphanage for the conference year just ended will prove interesting: The value of our plant is now estimated at $30,000. Mxaterial improvements have been made according to our needs and means. Last year we had the misfor tune to lose by a storm our barn and stables, just before they were com pleted. They were again rebuilt, and again destroyed, this time by fire. In the conflagration we lost our entire outfit of wagons, farming utensils, provisions and some live stock. They have been rebuilt a second time. A girls' dormitory with 14 rooms has eea built of brick, and furnished, and furniture has been added to the other dormitories.- A laundry and a temporary dining room have ben built and par ially fur ois bed. Oi r printing plant has been enlarged. Aig at a cost of $5 293 02. We are porpar ed to furnish emplcymnent for our children in the printing department under the superintendency of a c im petent foreman. The farm for cause' beyong our control has not been e~s re.unerative this year as it was last ear-but it has done fairly well- Tbe fnancial report o& the superintendent, properly audyted, is satisfactory. We have had cash receipts from all ra aorces amounting to $10,242 02, Merchandise and other donations esti mated at $1, 925,33. The printing de prtment y ield1ed a net profit of $332. 57, all of which has been j idfciously expended except a small oalance in hand. We have now 67 children un der the care of the orpanage, whose wants-physical, mental and spiritual -have been carefully and tend-rly supplied. Several of the children have professed conversion, and they na :e joined the church.

Joe Turner, toge her with his two little nephews, came to town and put up for thes night at Taomason's feed stable. The elder Turner is a bloated. heavy set fellotv, with a face as villainous as could be wanted on any stage in heavy tragedy. He is always more or less intoxicated, and it is only with considerable difieulty that an intelligent answer can be got ten from him. Turner states that the dead boy, Odell Turner took only one drink of whiskey on the road, but he had had nothing to eat since early morning. After prssing the Poe mili, Odell went to sleep, and he was not aroused after reaching town Tre uncle was very much utnde: the infia ence of whiskey, and patd no atten. tion to him. This morning thesmall er boy tried to wake his causiu, but found him dead. The man and two boys slept together in the wagon, and it is plobable that the boy died early in the night. The bedy of the dead boy showed very oainly the signs of alc holism, and Dr. W. G. Bramlett, who testified be fore the coroner's inquest, gate that as the cause of his depth without an examination of the iuternal orans. Oa drink of Dark C 'rner vhtskey may have been sufficient to cruse his death, as he had not had anything to eat since a very early breakfast, and ihis uncle states that he was not ad dcted to the use of waiskey.

Now that the members of rte hecuse and senate are talking so loudly of economy in public expenditures, it may be interesting to look over ti~e bill that appripriates money for the salaries, clerk hire and contingent fees of the senators and r- nr'.soa ives. It cost Uncle Sam $3 654,421 a y -ar to have his laws mace. a.nd dvei? we take into consideration the la's he gets and especially those he d orft get for this enormous outlay, i t s as iiks a bad bargain.

This year the amount will he tttice as much as usual, as the menrbsrs always vote themselves mileage for the extra ses sins. The vice president spends,.as president of th~e senate, and exclusiva of his salary, $5.463. Tue c'1alon of the senate gets $900 per annum for a benediction of toree mi::utes iength delivered on the average times a week about five montras oat of the year.
