DISASTER AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN--TERRIBLE
INTERRUPTION or TIE HAHNEMANN HOSPITAL
FAIR-THREE LIVES LOST AND EEaHTEEs PER-
SONS INJURED.
In December last the Madison Square front
of the Madison Square Garden, between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh-sts., was
raised about eight feet, to make temporary
accommodation for some exhibition which
shortly followed. The original building had
been constructed solely with the view Of accom-
modating hippodrome, and strength Of wall
was not required. The additional structure was
consequently dangerous experiment. One-half
of it on the north side devoted to the display of
pictures ut the Hahnemann Hospital Fair, fell
last evening about half past nine o'clock, bury
ing several persons beneath the walls and roof
and injuring many more. Three were killed
and at least eighteen wounded. The names of
all who were slightly injured could not be OBJ
tained.

The two remaining places were given to Messrs.

be named who is not understood to be opposed 10

foreground of these representatives OF the young
Democrats, who really constitute the I1lden party

The Maine MIDDLE.

As we 60 to press, the news from
the Maine infamy Is highly exciting.
The House was organized with seven.
ty.hve Fusionlsts, and one Republi.
can, Eugene Hale. Hale claimed
that certain elected members Of the
House were not OH the roll and NOV.
ed they I've included. He supported
his motion In u long speech. Hale
was ruled out Of order by the Clerk,
and all the Republicans, except Hale,
withdrew In a body. A message was
then sent To Gov. Garcelon that u
quorum Of members was present.
Garcelon then appeared, and qualified
the members. and declared the House
Of Representatives. duly and lawfully
constituted and organized. The same
proceedings took place In the Senate,
and both bodies organized against the
protest Of the Republicans. II would
appear that Garcelon. ut this writing,
had consumated his villany. Now lot
the devil foreclose his mortgage on
the Democratic party.
