II Everything Above Her Deck was Swept Away. Sir Thomas was Injured and One Man was Drowned. Lodged in a Wound Stopped the Flow of Blood. nouston, April 17. Will A.

Powers lies at the St. Joseph Hospital on a bed of pain, but is thanking his lucky star that he is ye) among the living. The accidental discharge of a shotgun placed his life In the balance and but for his good foitune he would certainly not be battling for his recovery. Powers accompanied by his brother-in-Jaw, H. H.

Kuhlman, left tlje city for a drive through the country and to take a try at the birds. As they neared Missouri City the catastrophe occurred. Powers tad his gun resting against his knee and picked it up with the muzzle pointing toward him, and started to climb out of the buggy. In some manner the gun slipped and the trigger struck on the step ot the vehicle and the gun was discharged. 1 he entire contents of the shell lodged in the right side of the young man's neck and blood flowed in streams from the ugly wound.

Kulmahn gathered the young man into the buggy and the horse was sent racing into Missouri City, where the services of Dr. Tucker were obtained and all that it was possible to do to relieve the injured man was done. The accident happened at 10 o'clock and at 5.45 Powers was brought to Houston on the train and Immediately conveyed to the hospi tal, where Drs. Lillard and Hamilton were called to dress the wound. It was found that the gun wads.

as well as a quantity of cloth from the man's clothing, had been forced into the great hole in his neck. I The interior jugular vein had been punctured, and several shots were taiten from the inside of the vein. All that had prevented the young man from bleeding to death was the fact that the gun wads had lodged in tht punctures tud bad stopped the flow of blood. As soon as this was removed the surgeons had great difficulty in cloisng the wound, and had an effort been made to do so before the man reached the hopsital operating table it is stated by the doctors that he would certainly have bled to death, While the. call as a very close one, the physicians do not anticipate any serious result unless blood poisoning should result from the foreign substance that was so long in the wound.

WARM AND INSPIRING, The adjourned ciy meeting at Barre last evening was largely attended and was toward the wind up a warm and inspiring occasion. The license commissioners were the topic of discussion at thctime alluded to and some pointed remarks were made. John W.

Gordon defended the commissioners against whom the principal speakers were John Anderson and Philip Halvosa.

He said that one commissioner had left the city immediately after his appointment and had not returned until after the licenses bad been granted.

When the ('lover Leaf passenger train pulled into this city at midnight, a handsomely dressed young man and woman alighted, handcuffed together. As no policeman was with them, they caused considerable comment as they wandered about the platform with their wrists locked together.

They were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Campbell, of Marion, who had just been married, and who were handcuffed before leaving home by a crowd of jokers. The key had been turned over to the brakernan on the train with directions to unlock the handcuffs after Kokomo was passed, but some one called for the key, and then ran away with it, leaving the couple with no means of release. They had all sorts of troubles on their way here, but" after they bad wandered about the station for a short time, a railroad man got a file and a chisel and succeeded In cutting the chain between the two handcuffs.

Half an hour later they got a policeman to unlock the cuffs and free their wrists. Before her marriage Mrs. Campbell was Miss Sarah ightower. At the station in Marion a regular battle followed the attempt to handcuff the couple, as the bridegroom had received a "tip" and had marshalled a crowd of defenders. After handcuffing the couple and putting them on the train, the crowd distributed handbills through the train stating that "Sallie and Ed" had just been married and asking the passengers to look out for them.

One person is reported drowned and several wee injured. The man carried overboard and drowned was named Collier, a brother in law of Cafain Wringe. As the mast fell overboard, carrying all the gear and canvas, several persons were hurt Including Sir Thomas, who was knocked down the hatchway, bruised and otherwise injured. Collier was handing a binocular to Lifton when swept overboard. One of Lipton'a hands was injured but not seriously.

A strong, northeast breeze was Wowing but not a gale. Both Sham rocks seemed to be carrying sail well when nearly a mile off shore Shamrock III went on the starboard tack when a sudden gust of sweeping out of the Bay struck the yacht completely dismantling her. The steel mast crumpled up like a paper tube. It seemed miraculous that more were not carried overboard, as ANNOYING CITIZENS. They Live In Ecuador and Claim Protec.

tion of This Country. "Washington, D. April 17 An-interesting point has been brought before the State Department by Minister Sampson, the United States representative in Ecuador. He has found a number of naturalized citizens of the United States living permanently in Ecuador who have no intention of returning to the United States, yet who aim the commercial advantages and protection of the American flag. This is something that has given annoyancee to United States ministers and consuls at may other places, but for which there appears to be no remedy.

Minister Sampson tells of one naturalized subject who has resided for over forty years in the land of his nativity, without even visiting the United istates, and who cannot speak a word of English, "Such persons," he says, make it a religious duty to sign the register of American citizens in the United States legation or consulate each succeeding two years, and profess great admiration for the Starr and Stripes and sigh for the day to come speedily when thy can once more be 'at home in the best country in the Many of these persons are engaged in commercial pursuits here, and some of them do not carry even a dollar's worth of United States products. A citizen of Porto Rico was in Ecuador holding a regularly issued Spanish passport when Porto Rico became a part of the United States, He at once professed great admiration for the United States and declared he would hence-fort! be a citizen of the United States. Next he applied for registration as such, and asked for a passport." The State Department holds that every citizen of the United States traveling abroad in pursuit of his lawful business is entitled to a pass port, the duration of such sojourn being something which the depart ment does not attempt to limit.
