A COTTAGE TuMBLES OYER.

one rssn KILLED and Thr,s Persons injured.
A Chicago special says: The sup
ports under a two-story-and-basement
cottsge at No. 1925 Wabash avenue
were found TO be unsafe the other day,
and last Thursday it was moved to the
rear Of the lot for the purpose Of put
ting in new basement. The cottage
had been raised on screws, and work.
men were engaged in laying floor in
the basement at 3 o'clock this after
noon. Suddenly the house swayed
TO the south. tottered for n moment.
and then tumbled over into the new
basement. where three men were at
work. Mrs. Kate Hope, q widow forty
years Of age, who sat near a window
on the second floor, felt the house
going. and sprang through the window
TO the ground. She escaped with
few bruises and fainting spell. Sixty
odd iremen and score Of policemen
came troorang to the spot as soon as
the alarm was sent out. John Green,
a carpenter, was the first man taken
out Of the ruins. He was bruised and
cut, but, though suffering from internal
injuries, was conscious. Deeper down
III dead body Of Free nan 4. Gilmore.
a laborer, was found. lie had been
crushed 10 death. Half an hour
later man named Kimball was
taken out alive with broken collar
bone and bruised ankle. lie was able
TO walk. The house was occupied by
kimball's mother and HE brother and
sister and by Mrs. Hope. Mrs. Kim
ball vas at cemetery and her. two
children were IN 49, 80 Gilmore
aic did not know he was At work IN
the building. and would not believe no
was dead till she saw his body At the
morgue. Green Is single man. His
injuries, though serious. are not dsn-
gerous. The cottage and the furniture
within are total loss. The cottage
has stood for thirty years and was e
shaky affair. The man who moved IL
had no permit to do so and will proba-
bly, be arrested, as the accident is at
tributed to the wrenching the cottage
received in moving and the insufficient
supports placed under it.

Mexican Affairs.

CITY NEXICo ria GALVESTON,
October 2l.-Liberal deputies in oppo-
sition to the Government got vote
through the lower house, requesting
the Government to render an account
Of the recent sales Of national lands.
The Minister Of Public Works appeared
and presented a written statement of
the contracts made, and Immediately the
president Of the House of Depu-
ties declared the House adj
journed. The opposition deputies
protested yesterday. The police
had to clear the galleries of excited
supporters of the opposition. In the
galleries were a number of deputies.
The crowd made such a noise that they
interrupted the proceedings of the
House. Leading opposition congress
men say they will consent to have de-
and applause stopped.
They demand an oral explanation of the
recent land sales. There is much ex-
element in political circles.

liaI MAll 1uAttl'I
In medieval times iendal lords often
found it necessary or exped ant to part
with portions OF their estates so far n
all receipt of REM was concerned, but to
reserve TO themselves the many other
advantages pertaining TO the vassalage
OF the people living upon them. Tho
simplest way Of accomplishing this was
to grant n perpetual lease Of the land at
a mere nominal rent.
sometimes the nominal rent would
itself DO Of q kind likely to impress
itself upon the attention of all parties
concerned-as, for instance, in the case
OF the now familiar peppereorn rental.
When that vas first adopted peppercorns
were curios1ties not easily procurable.
There used to be, and for aught we know
to the contrary there is now, in York
shire q farm held so long as the
tenant can or will presont to tho
lord of the manor a snowfall at
midsummer and a rose al Christmas.
Neither rose nor SNOWFALL would be a
matter Of much difficulty nowadays, but
centuries back there would be times
when roses at Christmas we're mighty
few and far between, and when the sup
ply Of a SNOWFALL at midsummer would
