THE CASUALTY LIST.

The Walls of the New Capitol Building of
Wisconsin Fall with Dreadful Result.
MADISON, Nov. 8.-The whole roof and iE-
side walls and iron and stone columns of the
new south wing of the capitol fell at 1:40 P.
NJ. to-day.
The full list of the killed and wounded is
as follows:
Dead-Bernard Higgins, laborer fifty
years old, Madison; VIM. Edgar; mason,
Madison. Buried under the debris, horribly
crushed-Michael Sewank, mason, Madison,
died after being taken OUT VIM. G. Jones,
mason, Milwaukee, skull fractured; died
since taken out.
Injured-Miles Maxwell, plasterer, James
Vile, badly cut on the head VIM. Rose,
plasterer Sheboygan, probably fatal; VIM.
Junge, carpenter Madison, badly scratched;
Arthur Lynch, Madison, head badly hurt,
delirious; Ed. Bohn, mason, Sauk City,
single, aged twenty-three, seriously cut; Ed.
Page and ]. O. Page, masons, Middleton,
brothers, badly hurt; Ed Kingsley, mason,
Milwaukee, hurt about the head; James
Dowell mason Madison an old settler, aged
sixty, both legs broken, will die Patrick
OLaughlin, laborer, left arm broken and two
temple cuts, will die; William Burke, sr.,
laborer married, with four children, badly
cut about the face and chest; Ed. Kinsella,
bricklayer, Milwaukee, cut about the head
and back; Cyrus Schenck, Shopiere, Rock
county, cut on the back of the head and in
the right eye; Henry Diderick, mason, Mil
waukee, left leg broken; Mike Sewank, sr,
mason, Madison; Ed. Bamen, plasterer, Mad
ison, face and back injured; John
Clark, plasterer, Milwaukee, an arm
broken; Nelson Boost, carpenter,
Sun Prairie, hurt slightly; Pat. Carey, Mad-
son, badly crushed; Ed. Gleason, laborer,
Madison, hurt by box of falling glass.
James Kelly died at 10 o'clock tonight
and James Dowell is dying
The cause of the terrible accident is some
what uncertain, but the most plausible
theory is that the heavy iron pillars support
ing the roof of the second story balcony sank
into the plank on which they rested, thus
pulling the sound wall outward, which in
turn caused the roof of the entire wing to
cave in. These columns were made of large
pieces of boiler iron, rolled into circular
form, stovepipe fashion, the joints not
being bolted together.
1t is the opinion of Contractor Bently that
the loss will fall on the Commonwealth, as
the plans were approved by the State archi-
tect, and the blame can be ascribed to no
one. The loss cannot be estimated at
present. The additions were to be COM
peted by March /, 1884. Two hundred thou
sand dollars was appropriated by the Legis-
lature to meet the necessary expenses The
wing was designed for the use of the histor-
ical society.
A dispatch has been received from Gov
ernor Rusk, of Bayfield, instructing all care
to be taken of the dead and injured He
will return in the morning The mayor of
the city has ordered an inquest to be held in
the morning. A full and rigid investigation
will be had and the blame laid where it be-
longs.

Gathering Them In.

LONDON, April 6.-Four men have
been arrested here within the past
48 hours OH suspicion of being con-
nected with the plots and threats to
blow up the government buildings.
They were arraigned in the Bow
street court this merning. Justice
Ingham, who presided, informed
them that they were brought to the
bar upon the charge Of having in
their possession explosive material
with intent to use the same for fel-
Onious purposes. The statute pro
vides that persons convicted of this
crime shall be liable to punishment
for two years at hard labor. The
prisoners were put down on the
charge sheet as Norman, aged p;
Gallagher, 80; Wilson, %; Dalton 80.
Dalton is also known by the alias of
John O'Connor. Whensthe prisoners
were marched into the dock a stall
wart policeman was stationed
behind each. They are all intelligent
men, well dressed and have every ap-
pearance of being not only respect
able but educated. Evidence, both
direct and circumstantial, was given
almost entirely by the detectives.
They deposed that they followed
Norman from the dynamite factory,
in Birmingham, to his hotel in this
citv; that they dogged his footsteps
on Wednesday evening and finally
arrested him late that night. When
made prisoner, he declared he
had no idea what the box
contained, vet in his
pockets were the keys which exactly
fitted the box. A detective also found
on him a e5 note with q stamp
"March TO- printed thereon. Among
the other articles taken from him
was map of London and an envel-
ope addressed to "Gallagher. Amerl-
can Exchange" The officers stated
also that he had III his pocket Il tele-
gram directing him to call on Fletc!l-
er, at the Charing Cross hotel. Fletch-
er is the person who, according to
Norman, engaged him to carry the
dynamite box taken from him. IN
regard to Nelson and Gallagher, the
evidence Of the policemen who al
rested them was no. less convincing.

A table prepared by French
savant gives the following data on
the growth of children: During
the first year after birth the growth
in stature is about seven and half
inches; from two to three, it is four
to five; from three to four, an inch
and half annually; from seven to
eight, two and half; from eight to
twelve, two inches; from twelve to
thirteen, one and eigit-tenths; from
thirteen to fourteen, two and quar-
ter: fifteen TO sixteen, two; sixteen to
seventeen, nearly two. After this,
though growth continues until twen-
to-one, and sometimes for years after,
its rate diminishes. Increase in
stride shows weakness of constitution
or imperfect health"

Two ROnances,

The son of leading lawyer in New
York some years ago was attracted
by the innocent face and quick wit
Of Welsh chambermaid in his faith
er's house, and declared that he pre-
:erred her to all the fashionable beau
ties who had courted his notice.
His family protested, but to no
purpose. The only concession he
would make was to consent to go to
Europe fer three years before marry
ing the girl. In the meantime, hav-
ing an independent fortune, the
lover placed her at one OF the best
schools in New York.
The girl was ambitious, and de-
voted in her affection to the man who
had chosen her. He returned, found
her more lovely than ever. They
were married, and the lady is now
one of the leaders of society in the
city where they live-a noble, refined,
charming woman.

''Let me overwhelm you with a
mass of statistical information, }" inn
plored a gentleman of elegant leisure,
and the avenue man settled himself
to his fate. "You have doubtless
heard it stated many times" he be-
gan, tthat railway companies are
keeping 13S, 100000 acres of unearned
land out of the market. Do you know
how much land that is? OF course
you don't. It is as far beyond hu-
man comprehension as the statement
of an astronomer that one of those
stars is II 900, ,O00, 900 miles distant. I
will put those acres in shape so that
you can realize the immensity
of the territory they represent.
The State of Maryland, for instance,
would go into these S,000,0 900 acres
seventeen times, with 100000 to
spare, a tract equal to six Rhode
Islands or four De!awares. The 1885,
600, 900 acres would make four States
as large as New York, with enough
besides to duplicate New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and New Jersey, You
could set Pennsylvania, with her
$4,000, 900 down in one corner of this
enormous territory, and have land
enough left to cut up into states the
size of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Maine. The unearned land is three
and half times greater in area than
the six New England states. 1t en-
braces four times as many acres as
Iowa contains, considerably more
than four times as many as Ohio, and
it is only little less in extent than the
whole of Texas. Can you wonder,
when you come to study the subject,
that the railroads object to letting go
of property SO extensive as that ?"-
National Republican.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record writes: "a
dainty little girl of eight or nine,
with dangerous big eyes, appeared in
the library of the White House the
other day when it was full of great
men. of one sort and another, and
quietly wai.ed her turn tospeak with
the tall gentleman with the gray
whiskers and hair and the sober face
and the courteous manner down by
the bow window in the south end of
the room. BY and by her opportu-
nifty came. She tripped forward
modestly but bravely, and with a
good morning, Mr.. President,' told
her name and profered her request.
She was a niece of General Win
field Scott Hancock, and she wanted
II few sweet flowers from the
Executive conservatory for the Easter
decoration OF an Episcopal church.
She smiled archiy as she told her er-
rand, as though she was quite sure
of favorable response. The Presi-
dents tired face frightened with
smiles as he turned from the tire
some politicians to the sweet little
face before him. It was like a cool
ing zephyr from the Chesapeake on
u hot summers day. He told her
honestly that he was very glad to see
her and then he gave her carte
blanche in the conservatory, and dis
missed her with pleasant word or
two about his own little girl, who
d,es So much to tighten up his life in
the White House. Her handsome
uncle could not have done more for
her had he been standing in Arthur's
place.
