Coroner's Investigation into the United

Coroner's Investigation into the United
States Hotel Disaster at Washington.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-At the coroner S
investigation into the United States Hotel
accident testimony was given showing that
Belding, the proprietor of the hotel, had
known for a long time that the building
was unsafe and yet never gave a word Of
warning to his boarders. The own
ers of the building were well aware
of its dangerous condition, but
took no steps for its improvement. The
health officer when he inspected the sani-
tary arrangements of the hotel found it en-
tirclv unsafe, but as his examination was of
a purely sanitary character, he made no re-
port upon the bulged and crumbling walls
Two or three years ago an insurance com
pany refused to insure the building because
both the east and west walls were sprung
The Coroners jury brought in a
verdict in which they say: From
the evidence we believe the building has
been unsafe for long time and its condi-
ton was known TO both the owners and
lessees and that they, particularly the
owners, should be held responsible, and to
that end we respectfully call the attention
of the District Attorney to the matter for
such legal proceedings as the case de-
mands.'
The owners Of the building are Judge
Cox. of the Supreme Court of the District,
and the Failansbee family. The lessees are
Bedding & Clark.

Sable Island.
HALIFAX, August 6.-Thc Government
steamer Newfeld arrived tonight from
Sable Island, with 23O passengers, and Of
the stea mer Amsterdam, which was
wrecked last Wednesday nigh on
sand bar Is miles from the island.
The only officer who came BY the new field
was the third mate Captain Lucas, of the
ill.fated ship remained staying at the scene.
From the third officer and passengers ofthe
Amsterdam it was learned that last Wednes-
day about 10 minutes to ten the ship sud-
denly grounded on an unseen bar. The
island was fifteen miles distant from the
steamer when she struck being some 81
miles out Other course, the shock on striking
was very slight one, but caused great ex-
citemnnt on the crowded vessel the passen-
gers becoming greatly excited requiring all
the exertions of Capt Lucas and his officers
to dispel their fears. All on board were
crowded 10 six small crafts and headed for
the shore. We first reached the beach
without accident at B o'clock IN
the morning Of the next day
The second one, however, was not so for
tunate, being swamped justas she was about
grounding safely. Three men on board
we're drowned, but the rest were picked up.
The accommodations were provided for
shipwrecked people by those on the island
is described as very poor. Capt. Lucas
and his officers were able TO visit the Am.
sterdam on several occasions to obtain ef.
fects from on board but they found the wa
ter rising and filling in her hold and salts

SHOT HIM IN The RIBS,
A Sensational Domestic Tragedy at
Pittsburg.
AN Ex.coNFEDERATE REUNION.
Forty Thousand People Gathered at Dallas,
Texas---AGreat Day on the Gettys-
burg Battle Field

PITTsBURG, August GA terrible tragedy
took place in the usually quiet locality of
Arch street, Allegheny, little after noon
to-day. The victim of the affair is Mr..
Ben Moore, well known young man, a
widower, bookkeeper Of the Bessemer Steel
company, who lives with his mother-in-law,
Mrs. John Rodd. At halfpsst twelve
this afternoon Mr.. Moore, while at
home for lunch, was called to the
sitting room to see visitor.
The caller was Alex. Merriman, a photog-
rapher on Federal street. The two men
were alone together in the room, and alter
few minutes the report Of pistol rang
through the house. The startled inmates
ran TO the room, and'reached it just as Mer-
riman passed hastily out of the front door.
On the floor Moore was found writhing in
pain from dangerous wound. The ball
had entered between the fourth and fifth
ribs, passed throught both lungs aud lodged
under the armpit
Dangerous.
The physicians hastily summoned dis
covered this on hurried examination, and
would not ssylpositive whether thewourd-
ed man could recover or not, but the opin-
ion seemed to be that such thing was i'm
possible Moore was able to speak, but re-
fused 20 say anything about the cause Of the
81 ooting Merriman was known by sight
by the person who admitted him to the
house, and was charged at once with the
crime, and to this the victim made no
denial. {
After the shooting Merriman wen. direct
ly to the Mayors Office and gave himself
up. He said he lived at As Monterey street
and that his father was a river captain. He
told the officer that he had shot Moore, but
refused at first to give any information
whatever as to the cause of his action. He
was taken in charge by the officers and
locked up. He seemed greatly excited,
but said nothing for some time. Frequent
questioning by the officers at last drew
from Merriman the statement that his
wife had confessed TO him that Moore had
been unduly intimate with her, and Moore
when confronted by Merriman confessed to
the same thing. 1t was Moore's confession
which infuriated Merriman so that he drew
his revolver and shot down the destroyer Of
his domestic happiness. Beyond the short
and general admission Of the cause Of shoot.
ing, Merriman would say nothing. He re-
fused 10 give any details of the interview
with Moore or what Moore confessed.

dal is causing some uneasiness among
Cleveland men. 1t is reported that an.
elaborate vindication of Cleveland will be
issued in a few days Gov. Hendricks,
however, believes in ignoring the subject,
and local leaders accord with his view.
The National Convention of French
Canadians, in session here, is giving Demo
Gratis and Republicans some concern. Both
want to capture it for political effect, but
the majority of delegates 6ght shy o. an
endorsement of either Blaine or Cleveland.
They wish to keep the convention clear Of
politics and the clergy sustain them in this
sentiment. Col Lamont says he knows of
no intention on the part ofloeal Democratic
leaders to interfere with the action of the
convention.
During the morning session an invitation
to the delegates to call upon the Governor
was announced. The announcement caused
great excitement 1t was moved that the
acceptance of the invitation should not be
construed as having any political signifc.
auce. This motion was voted down amid
some confusion. About balf the delepates
left the hall and called upon the Governor
and were cordially received. The other
half remained in the hall criticizing the
action of their fellows. This afternoon the
question will be formally discussed whether
the convention should take any action in
regard TO the presidential candidates.

BIG BILL KINNEY.

The Crimson Dyed Murderer Found
Guilty and Sentenced to Life in the PEN
itentiary He Receives His Sentence
CoOlly.
CENTRAL, August 6.-[ Exclusive THE
final act in the Doyle tragedy was per-
formed at West Union this afternoon, in the
presence of deeply interested crowd Of
spectators. The jury remained out until
$50. An ominous silence followed their
return to the court room. "Big" Bill looked
anxiously from the face of one juryman to
that of another. The crowd pressed for
ward to catch every word, and when the
verdict, Murder in the first degree, and the
penalty
'Imprisonment for Life,''
was announced there was feeling of joy
only dampencd by the feeling on the part
of many that the wretch should have been
hung. Kinney received his sentence
stolidly. The verdict gives only tolerable
satisfaction, there being strong sentiment
in favor Of hanging.
