WILD CONFUSION
And Dismsy Caused at Olympic Parl
Sunday Evening by the
Breaking Down of the Grand Stand
Several Wounded, None Killed.

The entertainment given by DR.. Carver,
at Olympic Park Sunday afternoon, came
near resulting in a serious catastrophe, on
account OF the giving way OF the man-trap
set up by either careless or ignorant work
men, and called the grand stand" There
was an immense throng of people in at
tendance, and every available space in the
stand was occupied and the shed roof above
crowed with spectators. Near the east end
nearly all the ladies present were seated,
but whenever anything was taking place
in the track the crowd would rise from
their seats and sway from one side to the
other in the effort to get view of what
was going on in either end of the track.
This caused a swaying motion OF the stand,
against which the builders had made no
provision by longitudinal bracing. About
ten minutes before the crash came a crack
ing sound was heard, which startled the
crowd, and q rush to get off the seats was
checked by some one calling out that the
sound was caused by loose plank falling
from the fence Immediately behind the
stand. This reassured the crowd, and
everybody resumed seats. When the very
amusing performance by the cowboys and
the bucking ponies was in progress
the audience became exceedingly hilarious
and gave vent TO the pleasure they were en-

caused the frail confraption to give way,
and men, women and children and broken
beams, pianks and crushed timbers were
piled in a heap, and the air rent with
piercing screams of frightened women
and children. The crowd who had filled
the track made a lush toward the wrecked
stand, and confusion would have made
matters worse had not DR.. Carver, with
well-timed presence of mind, ordered the
performance to proceed, thus diverting at

upon numerously signed petitions, en-
bracing hundreds of names OF prominent
inventors, manufacturers, merchants,
bankers and others, who ask that they be
afforded an opportunity to appear and
point ont what they consider the mischieys
Gus features of the bill. A widespread
sentiment in opposition to the proposed
change has manifested itself in ali parts of
the country. 1t is doubtful if the measure
makes its temperance during the present
session, or indeed at all, without very
considerable change. An equally wide
spread sentiment in favor of the measure
introduced by Senator Platt to separate
tie Patent Office from the Interior Depart
ment and make it independent, has been
developed. Petitions bearing hundreds Of
signatures of inventors and others inter-
ested in patents have been secured, and

The New York Times, in its issue of
Saturday, contains an article headed "a
Fallscious Hope" in which it reviews the
sttitude of both the Republican and
democratic parties upon the tariff cues
ton and reaches the too hasty conclusion
that because thirty-nine Democrats voted
with Randall against 135 for Morrison
and his tariT-reiorm bill, therefore the
latter is practically defeated, and the
former IS triumphant. The vote as we
have given it proves the Times to be wrong.
Tine Democratic party, by that vote, is
fairly upon the record for tariff reform,
and that vote will be indorsed by the
National Convention in spite of Mr.. Ran
dali. Whether the Morrison bill passes
the House is now a secondary matter. We
shall hope that it may, though we fear the
very influences that seem to have caught
the ear of the Times at last.
