WASHINGTON, April 14. Two years
ago to a day later than the fatal Mis
souri disaster, as every sailor immediate
ly recalled, on a Friday and the 13th of
the month, six men were done to death in
the forward turret of the battleship Kear
sarge by one of those accidents which ac
quire additional terror for sailors because
of their obscure origin and the almost
Impossibility of prevention.
The Atlantic fleet had been for weeks
engaged in most severe drills in the wa
ters of the Caribbean Sea, culminating In
the Quarterly target practice. This prac
tice was just about concluding, with most
satisfactory results up to yesterday, and
It was confidently expected at tfie De
partment, upon the basis ot preliminary
reports received, that all records would be
broken In the matter of rapidity -of fire
and efficiency of the gunners. But today,
just at the close of the week's work at the
Department, came a cablegram from
Bear-Admiral Bvans commanding the
Atlantic fleet, telling of a dreadful acci- killed In the explosion will be burled In

Storm Sheriff's Residence.
A mob of 1000 men gathered at the City
Jail at-S o'clock, and. upon learning that
tne negroes were -not there, hastened to
the County Jail, where the negroes were
confined. Instead of attacking the iaIL at
first the mob stormed the residence of the
Sheriff, breaking down doors, smashing
winaows, destroying practically all the
furniture In the lower part ot the boue
and rendering the Sheriff's wife uncon
scious from fright and violence. Over

a posso of deputies, the mob secured the

Two months ago T. M. Klnner a nram
