BLooM1SGroS, ILL.,, Nov. l0.-A short
time ago a rather stylish looking man,
apparently thirty-three years of age, ar
rived in Bloomington, and in a few days
found employment in one of the most
fashionable saloons in the city, as head
bartender. He gave his name as Alex
ander Hamilton, and informed his en-
ployer that he was formerly employed
in the tobacco business in St. Louis, but
had failed. About two weeks ago an
Eastern man visited the saloon where
Hamilton was employed and at once
recognized HIM as the former treasurer
of Jersey City, N. j., who defaulted some
years ago with So, 900 funds belonging to
that city, and which at the time created
much excitement in the country. After
his defalcation So 900 reward was offered
for his apprehension. The erring man
went to Europe where he remained some
time, after which he went to Jersey City,
and paid down $4,000, and, it is claimed,
that he settled in some way his defalca-
tions. Hamilton embarked in the sheep
business, and had cattle ranch in Texas,
making about 100000, which he lost by
injudicious investments. When he ar
rived in Bloomington he was absolutely
penniless, telling the proprietor that all
he had in the world was So and the
clothes he had on his back. Hamilton
informed your correspondent that he in
tended to make Jersey City his future
home, and if things shape themselves
satisfactory he will eat his Christmas
turkey at his old home.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 1O.-One of the
most frightfill accidents that ever hap
pened in this section of the State occur
red yesterday afternoon. Nearly he
entire second story of the south wall of
the south wing of the capitol extension
fell with crash, followed Immediately
by the entire roof of the structure. The
wing was 100 feet long, so feet wide and
80 feet high, of solid stone and fire
proof All the external We rk on it had
been completed with the exception of a
small portion of lining upon the roof, a
gang of men being employed at the time
Of the accident upon this work. The
terrific and awful crash was heard in
the remotest portion of the city and
fairly made the earth tremble. Thou
sands of excited people Immediately
rushed to the scene of the disaster from
which cloud Of dust arose, and groans
could be heard issuing from within the
broken walls, as men suffering untold
agony Of body endeavored to call assis-
lance to themselves from without the
building. Two men could be seen forty
feet from the ground waving their hands
wildly for aid, while they hung head
downward and unable to move their
legs, which were crushed securely be-
tween heavy timbers. AS soon as it was
seen that there was no danger from the
remaining walls, which lowered upward
almost unsupported, brave men
rushed into the building, and began the
life saving work, which was prosecuted
until nearly twenty men were brought
out, dead or injured. About fifty men
were working on the wing at the time
of the casualty, and after all the dead
and injured that could be found had been
removed from the debris, Contractor
Nolan got his men together and called
the roll, which showed that all were
accounted for, when the search was
abandoned.
