Eau of q Gallery.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 25.-Shortly after
8 O'Clock tonight the west gallery of the
Exposition building gave way and num-
Der of persons, together with piano and
two organs were precipitated to the floor
beneath, distance of thirty feet. Seven
persons were injured, but none of them
fatally. One of the organs was completely
demolished, and the other instruments
were badly damaged. About the same
hour another accident occurred outside
the building by which two persons
were seriously hurt. A large
crowd had gathered to see the
display of fireworks and about thirty peo-
pie were standing on a temporary shed
erected for stock, when it fell, and the
crowd was thrown to the ground. Mrs
Crawford, of Connellsville, Pa. was most
seriously hurt. Her head was cut, her back
sprained, and she was otherwise injured.
Her husband was also injured pretty bad
ly about the head and face. The names of
those hurt by the falling of the gallery,
and the nature of their injuries, are as fol-
lows: c. 81. Taylor, badly hurt and face cut;
Barbara Schaw, Allegheny City. both arms
broken and head severely gashed; Meenie
Schaw, sister, back sprained and face
and head confused: Nicholas Trieck, Pitts
burgh, nose broken and head cut; Charles
W. Achison, Pittsburgh, arm broken and
wrist sprained; John Milby, side hurt; Ber-
tina Miller, injured about the head and
body. The attendance at the exposition
was the largest of the season, fully 10000
people being present during the evening.
The accident created great excitement, but
fortunately no panic occurred.
Later-Since the above was written in
telligence has been received that the in
juries of C.H. Taylor and those of Barbara
Schaw will probably prove fatal. The
others will recover.

FARGO, Sept. 25.-While the faces of
hundreds of those who visited our city last
week mainly to see the numerous attrac-
tions presented at our annual fair, and to
enjoy the SPLENDID programme of sports
provided by the management, are missed,
the Queen city of the Red river valley is
as full of life and activity as ever, and the
strangers tarrying in our midst can see
little if any difference in the crowds to-
day and the days of last week. While the
fair was not the financial success hoped for.
it can truthfully be said the failure was in
no respect the fault of President Benton.
Secretary Torkelson. Assistant Sec
retary Capehart, Treasurer Rich
ards, and their corps of assistants.
These gentlemen provided most liberal at
fractions and were untiring in their efforts
to carry out their programme successfully,
| and to their credit it can be said they
succeeded, so far as their personal efforts
| were concerned. The arrangements for
| reaching the ground and care of visitors
while there was most excellent, while bet
ter police arrangements were never seen
| anywhere, not disturbance of any kind
occurring during the entire week. Though
the receipts were not equal to the expenses,
it is pleasant to know that all premiums
and bills are being paid as fast as they
can be audited, the society being deter
mined to start 1883 with clean books.

NEW ELECTION DISTRICTS.
The Petitions Held Under Amusement by
Gov. Hubbard-A Newspaper Liar Ex-

The Petitions Held Under Amusement by
Gov. Hubbard-A Newspaper Liar Ex-
posed.
The petitions presented for the creation
of new election districts in the reorgan-
lied counties of Cass and Itasca were not
acted upon by Gov. Hubbard yesterday.
The reason for this non-action appears to
have been the entrance of protest to the
creation of such districts by 81. L. (Thun-
dering) Gordon, one of the principal Min
neapolis strikers for Nelson in the con-
gressional fight in the Fifth district.
Mr.. Gordon, as the reporter was given to
understand, based his protest upon the
assertion that many of the petitioners upon
the lists presented by Mr.. Kindred were
on-residents, and that there were not res
idents enough in the counties to Justify
the creation of the districts asked for. As
Mr.. Kindred had left for his home when
the protest was made, Gov Hubbard de-
cided to withhold action until he could be
heard from personally, or through his at
torney. which will probably be to-day or
tomorrow.
In the reporters investigation it was
learned that the Pioneer Press maliciously
lied when it stated that Mr.. Kindred claim
ed there were 5000 voters in the two
counties named. He did nothing of the
kind and the hired liar of the P. 2. knew
that he was lying when he wrote it, and
indited and published it because that con-
Germ is paid by the Washburn-N Nelson gang
to lie by the square acre during the cam
paign.
The investigation also developed that
there are several quite populous settle
ments in Cass county, viz: Pork Rapids,
Gull River, Pine River, Grand
Rapids, Nicholson and Winnebagoshish,
while there is not legal election district
in the county. In 1880 Gov. Pillsbury
created two election districts in the county,
but by the words of the creating order and
the law itself, the district ceased to exist
after that election had been held, so that
now there is no election district in the en-
tire territory covered by the petitions now
under consideration.
A LIAR EXPOSED.
The following was received yesterday:
Gov. L. F. Hubbard, State House, St. Paul.
MINI:
Permit me to characterize the editorial
in yesterdays Pioneer-Press as a character
less attempt to disfranchise large num-
Der of voters in Cass county and to tra-
duce Mr.. Kindred.
| Mr.. Kindred authorizes me to say that
the Pioneer Press statement that he esti-
mated the residents Or voters in Cass coun-
ty at 5000 or any other number is false.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 25.-The common
council had stormy meeting this after
noon to consider the financial affairs of the
city. The comptroller claims shortage
in the funds of nearly S4S0,000, caused ..by
overdrafts and mismanagement on the
part Of the former comptrollers. He said,
in explaining things: I'VE are to-day bor-
rowing advance taxes and loaning to the
extent Of $4SO,OOO, of which e236,000 has
already been expended for overdrafts. 1t
is only few years ago that the same
reckless spirit resulted in the necessity
of a special law creating commissioners of
the public debt to adjust the debt of the
city. At the pace you are now going on it
will soon be necessary for some one to step
in with an iron hand and command halt.
1t is yet time to pause and come out with
safety and honor, but such efforts as are
now shown do not promise well for the fu-
ture good of the city. You may here un-
derstand that your present comptroller
will ignore any act of yours that does not
conform strictly to law and safety to the
community" The council did not act upon
the matter, which was left in its present
shape. The comptroller has refused to
sign orders upon exhausted funds.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-The Franklin

These buildings were filled with sugar in
