TERRIBLE CRASH.
i Painful Accident at GiImore's Garden
in New York CITY.

A New York dispatch of March 18th
says: Last evening an accident occurr-
ed at Giimore's Garden causing panic
and fearful excitement At % minutes
past o'clock, while there was nearly
10000 people in the building, a crash
was heard and long section of the
upper gallery on the south floor of the
building sank with Its mass of struggling
humanity on it. There arose wild
shrieks, prayers and curses. A panic
ensued and men rushed frantically
around. A cry of fire was raised and
a rush made for the door. The scene
that followed beggars description, for a
time 1t looked as if hundreds of lives
would be lost. Some men endeavored
to stop the panic by shouting there was
no danger. In less than ten seconds
every window in the building was
smashed open, and many persons jump
ed out and went home as quickly as
possible. The band kept playing;
when the accident occurred. Rowell,
Hartman and Ennis were on the tract,
and they remained there at the urgent
request of parties who were trying to
allay the panic, and when it was found
that the building was not on fire, and
only portion of the gallery had fallen,
the panic subsided. Still the feeling
was one of extreme dread along the
crowd, and a mere breath would have
precipltated another panic. The DO
lice worked to quell the excitement.
In the meantime the most vigorous ec-
forts were made to assist persons who
fell with the gallery and the people un-
derneath 1t. 1t took some time to re-
move the debris. MANY persons were
cut and bruised severely. but they were
able to free themselves and get out
when order was restored. 1t was dis
covered that the following persons were
injured: John Foley. 214, East 35th ST.,
severely bruised; Daniel Rigel, 249
East 46th ST., leg broken; Edward
Eyeland, Brooklyn, badly Sruised r. L.
Desary, 81 State street, Brooklyn, hurt
in small of back; John Naylor, l13 Clin-
ton street, New York, breast hurt;
Henry Johnson. Jr.. Brooklyn. right
arm broken; Walter Harrigan, brother
actor, compound fracture of collar bone;
Martin Bohes, 247 East 25th street; Mr..
and Mrs. Bales, both bruised; II. r.
Fashett, 28th street, one arm broken;
Josephine Little, 54th street, arm
broken, besides several others whose
names could not be ascertained. Am
balances were quickly summoned, and
the wounded taken TO Bellevue and New
York hospital. When the accident oc-
Cured there were 1 800 people outside
of the building, struggling to gain ad-
mission. There was a sudden stampede
among them when the crash was heard,
and the mass of beings were driven over
into Madison square, and many badly
injured, being tramped upon. The
greatest excitement prevailed outside
the buildings and rumors of thousands
being killed were circulated. The news
spread all over the city and thousands
of people focked to the building to
learn of friends among the injured.
The debris was soon cleared from
the track and the pedestrians continued
their walk.

4 BLACK HILLS MYSTERY.
Two Men Claim the Reward for the
killing of Noted Highwayman.
CHEYENNE Sun

The difficulty of identifying man
killed nearl y six months ago 0, and whose
death has been question of doubt in
the minds of many, was realized fully
this morning by the board OF county
| commissioners of Laramie county.
Two stage messengers on the Cheyenne
and Black Hills stage line, named ID.
B. May and J. H. Zimmers, presented
claim to the commissioners for 5000
reward for the shooting and killing of
a hlghwayman named Towle. Eimmers
swears that he and May shot Towle
under the following circumstances: On
the night of Sept. 13, 1878, May and he
were riding as guards with the south
ward bound stage coach from Deadwood
to Cheyenne. They had been informed
by the driver of the northward- bound
coach that highwaymen were lurking
about the Old Woman's fork. When
they arrived at the crossing of that
stream Zimmers states that he and
Boone May fell behind the stage-coach
a short distance. 1t was about O'Clock
In the morning, and very quiet. They
soon heard voice cry out Halt"
and the stage stopped. They at once
dismounted, hitched their horses. and
rifle III hand. advanced toward the
stage, which contained two passengers
They had not advanced many PAGES be-
fore they were called upon to halt. and
at the same time man fired at them.
They raised their rifles and immediately
returned the fire. Zimmers swears that
he heard the man groan, and continue
to groan, the gl oans getting weaker; but
he did not see the highwayman die, or
see him after he was dead. On exam
lining the scene Of the shooting next day
q pool Of blood was found, but not dead
highwayman. ..
Some months afterward Boon MAY
learned from a prisoner, who was one
of the highway robbers engaged on the
night of Sept. 13, that Frank Towle was
the man shot, and that he was killed
and buried near where he was shot.
This prisoner also gave May such in
formation as enabled him to find the
grave. May went to the place desig-
mated and found the body, and obtain
ing the head packed it up in box and
brought it south, and claimed the re-
ward offered by the county which was
$500. Our county commissioners de-
clined to receive or view the head, and
postponed their decision regarding the
reward until to-day. The determined
robber-slayer carried his CHASTITY trophy
to the western counties to claim the re-
wards offered there for Towle's death.
This morning the county commissioners
make an order disallowing the claim of
Boone Nav upon the ground that he
had failed to produce sufficient evidence
that he had killed the highwayman,
Frank Towle. The question as to wheth-
er Towle is dead or alive is still one of
the many mysteries of the Black Hills.

place was entirely suspended out of re-
spect to the memory of Bayard Taylor,
and many of the houses were draped in
mourning. Governor Hoyt and a joint
committee of the state legislature ar
rived early; also the grand chorus from
the adjacent towns. At Cedar Croft, a
private burial service was held, the
parents of Mr.. Taylor being too infrm
to attend the regular ceremonies. The
funeral procession then started for
Longwood, where the remains of Mr..
Taylor were inferred.

hangman. John @ PInkham was
hanged at Concord, n. H, for the muir
der of Mrs. Marion BreY, near Burn
ham in Jan. 1877. Chinaman All Ben

1876. Victor Nunez was hanged at
