an OLD ArrArn REYIvEp.
Iglehnrt Formerly of 81. Louis At
temprs Suicide in Chicago.

tempfs suicide tm Chicago
CHICAGO, June 11.-Frank Iglehart, who
in November 1882 was connected with one
of the most sensational cases that ever
occurred in st, Louis, attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon by jumping off
pier near the suburban town of Lakeview.
He was rescued by some fishermen and
taken to the county hospital where it
was found that he was on the verge Of an
attack of delirium tremens.
In 1882 the husband of Mrs. Rush
Tevis met Iglehart and his wife coming
out of hotel in st. Louis. Previous to
that his suspicious had been aroused and
he drew revolver and shot Iglehart in
the arm. Teyis got divorce from his
wife. Afterward the couple became
reconciled and lived together. Then
life was not happy, however, and Tevis
finally committed suicide. The case
created a great scandal in st. Louis Mt
the time, as all the parties connected with
it were of high standing in the commu-
nifty and were general favorites in society.
lglehart is man of medium hight, of
rather heavy build and wears dark
moustache and beard. His eyes IRE black
and deeply SET His whole appearance is
prepossessing. After he got out of the
hospital at St.Louis he went to New York
for short time and then went
to Glasgow, Mo-, where his father
has lare farm. He remained there until
he came to Chicago about two months
ago. The stigma of Iglehart's line of
action in st. Louis has chung to him.
Monday night he was two weeks in
arrears at his hotel and was turned out.
Yesterday he went to Lakeview and spent
his last dime for drink. He says he has
friends, but did not wish to trouble them.

Twenty Persons Killed and Eighty
wounded.


PARIS, June 11.-During trial in the
Court of Theirs, a small manufacturing
town near here, the staircase collapsed,
killing 20 persons and injuring 80 others.
FRIGHTFuL PARTICULARS OF THE FALLING OF
A STONE STAIRCASE.
PARIS, June 11.-At Theirs, town in
the department of Puy- Dome, % murder
trial has been in progress for some days.
The circumstances of the murder and the
exciting incidents of the trial have en-
crossed the attention of the people, and
yesterday the last day of the trial the
court house was crowded with men
and women anxious to witness
the closing scenes. When the
people were leaving, Immediately after
the adjournment of the court and were
iammed upon the stone stairway leading
to the street, the lofty staircase fell The
scene that followed was appalling. I'M
| mense masses of masonry from above
crushed down upon the struggling
people below, grinding through
their flesh and bones and manning
and mutilating them ina horrible manner.
| The fall of the staircase and the shrieks
of the people, lying helpless in the ruins,
caused panic in the court room and
there was rush for the now wrecked
exit. Those who were in front were un-
able to withstand the pressure from
behind, and were hurled down upon the
men and women crushed in the fall of the
staircase, and whom the people in the
street were already striving to rescue.
When, at length, the panic had ex-
hausted itself, and the immense stone
steps of the fallen staircase had been
removed, 20 persons were taken from the
ruins dead. The injured numbered not
loss than 60 and many of those will die OF
their injuries.
later dispatch from Theirs says TINT
in addition to the 20 persons killed fully
100 persons were injured Many of the
injured are women, and their wounds are
of n serious character. When the massive
stone staircase fell, the. scene was fearful
to witness. The immense stone step
above with the people ON them were pre-
cipitated upon the dead and dying below
adding to the horrors of the awful spec
tacle.

A CRASH BEHIND THE SCENES.



ReckIessness of a Stage Manager
for the Lives of Chorus Girls.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Toward the close of
the last act of Nanon at the exposition
building last night crash occurred and
cries and suppressed groans were dis
tinetly heard by the audience. A thrill of
horror went through both performers and
the public, and for few moments the
performance came to n stand-still. Be-
hind the scenes, leaning on the lap of
one of her companions, lay chorus girl,
pale, moaning and in great pain, another
was being carried insensible into dress
ing room, while third likewise moaning
and evidently suffering great agony,
was being supported by two of her
friends. At the back of the stage pint
form had been erected on trestles COM
posed of thin dry planks evidently unfit
to carry the weight of the 25 to 40 people
who had been crowded on il. More
anxiety seemed to be shown to get the tell
tale plnnking out of the why than to min
lister to the sufferers. "They only fell
four feet and were bit scared" remarked
n man on the stage, 'and its no use max
ing II fuss about n lot of Dutch women.
After every trace of the planking had
been removed, and while efforts were still
being made to exclude reporters, some OF
the victims yet lay where they Ind fallen
and could be heard grooming and moan.
ing. physician states that he assisted
in caring for one girl who was very badly
hurt, he thought, internally. Another's
face was bruised, another's elbow
was dislocnted, and two received injuries
on the ankle or knee. He says they were
taken away from the building in chr.
riages.
MIR. Cline of the Thalia Opera Com
pany, makes the statement that only tive
lalies We're injured and neither of then
seriously. lie admits the platform WA
not built as strongly MS ii should have
been, but that was due TO the hurry o
preparation.

PR ESS OPINIONS.

Pennsylvania has nj last Inv requiring
that parties intending 10 marry shall first
procure IL license. This may put check
upon the practice of precipitate and clan
destine nuptials and diminish the divorce
rate in the state. II will also mike the
statistics of marriages much fuller and
more trustworthy than they have hereto
fore ihiLmieiDhid EbeRing Past.
We are amused by the grotesque antics
of some members of the colored press.
They are so intensely partisan that they
are unable to see any good thing in Mr..
Cleveland, although he has shown himself
free from all party narrowness toward us.
If the Democratic party were to give us
"the earth" these hide-bound black
understrappers of the Republican party
would find fault. They are not to be sat
isfed. In their consuming zeal for the
Republican party, party which has
degenerated in everything except hypoc-
risy and regeneration, they would sacri-
flee the entire race in whose interest they
profess to live and have their being.

Some over-eonfdent Englishmen
boosted few weeks ago that 1.-The Fly

Liverpool, was the iastest in the world.
But they soon found out that they were
mistaken. The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
Company sends iruin out of New York
at 8 O'clock every morning that beats the
time of the s.Flying Dutchman.n Consid-
erpng the distance covered it is the fastest
train in the world Whom the care-worn
business man journeys from New York to

finds in the parlor cars of the Pennsyl-
vimin railroad luxurious home on

the rate of 60 miles IN hour or better not

rest on bed ballasted with solid rock,
aud the joints are nnde with q kind OF
chair and tish-plate, OF the company's own
make, that cause the miles OF track
to be as unbroken MS one long jointless
rnil. There is no dust, little noise and
not clnder. A few week ago there were
put on number of new pnrlor cars

windows on each side, each about seven
feet wide. The passengers can look up
or down the road for miles without leav-
ing his seat and the new windows admit
twice as much light as the old ones did.
The cars are somewhat larger than the
old style, and are divided into main
saloon, ladies' boudoir, smoking room
ant retiring room.
Recently the entire running time be.
tween the Atlantic seabord and the great
western cities has been reduced. On the
8 o'clock morning train the time Il
Chicago is "a hours; to Cincinnati, q

corresponding reduction to other points
This speed is maintained without tn
slightest danger to the traveller.
During the war of rates which begal

alone maintained its rates. Beginning
May 25th, though, il fixed the fare t
Chicago at SIS; to st. Louis at SO; an

A FLORIDA ROSE.
c. Il. q.

Only few crumpled rose leaves
On the deck that scattered lay;
Only another hope dying,
With the dawn of another day.
Only another rose withered,
or the countless withered before;
Only another soul wandering,
On the sands OF an oceanless shore.
Last night she sat in the moonlight
With tresses falling low;
And my poor heart echoed an answer
To the stars in heaven aglow,
Last night pinned on her bosom
rose full-blown and red:
But now the scattered rose leaves
At my feet lie withered, dead.
Lnst night all the hopes of lifetime
Floated in on the flooding tide,
And saw their dancing shadows
In the gulf by the steamers side.
And up from the emerald castles,
The castles under the sea,
Rose fairy voices singing
A song of love to me.
But now in the glaring sunlight
OF the dawn Of another day,
Like the few crumpled withered rose leave
All my hopes have faded away.

SPRINavALE, Mo-, June 12.-Trouble
which has been brewing for some time
over the enforcement of the prohibitory
law eliminated last night in the organzi-
ton of n mob armed with revOlvers and
stones and attacks upon n number of
houses in which windows were smashed
and other damage was done. The
gang went to the house of William II.
Frost, about quarter of n mile from the
village and sent shower of rocks through
the windows, accompanied by n volley of
bullets from revolvers fired i'll reckless
disregard of the sleeping family within.
Taking the direct road TO the village
the mob next stopped at the house of
John W. Frost, trial justice. Here
shots were fired into the house where
women, children and an old man We're
sleeping. Fortunately no one was hurt
but the windows were demolished.
The house of &. II. Roberts was next
visited. Here also the windows We're
smashed and the furniture damaged. The
residence of Wilson Cheyney, n prom
inent clothing dealer, was also treated to
II volley of rocks. The final effort of the
mob was made against the office of the
1dg0cate. The editor of this paper sleeps
in the Office. A perfect fusilade was kept
up and bullets rained into the room. The
editors only olTense had been the publ
cation, without comment, of the liquor

escaped injury. The raiders then dis
