A Twelve story Building wrecked.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-The "owings
block" a new structure, corner of Dear
born and Adams streets, was partially
wrecked Sunday morning. The acct
dent was probably caused by over
weighing the twelfth story with one of
the huge water tanks intended to fur
nish hydraulic pressure for the elevators.
Under the heavy weight the floor thing
gave way, falling through from floor to
floor, until the combined mass had gath
cred such an impetus and tremendous
weight that every floor down to the
basement was crashed through, causing
the ruin of most of the interior partition
walls. A few workmen employed in
the basement, heard the crashing tim
bers and effected their escape, but had
the accident occurred on a week day,
when large numbers of men are at work
in the building, great loss of life would
have resulted. The loss is estimated at
| 81 900.

ST LOUIS. Feb. 1S. Advices from
Indian Territory say that the journal, Oh
diary, of Belle Starr, the noted female
bandit, has been obtained from the Starr
ranch. Belle intended to publish it as
an autobiography. The matter con
tanned therein is replete with thrilling
incidents and personal adventures, but
the most remarkable features of all are
certain disclosures concerning crimes
in Texas and Indian Territory, which
viii tend to prove that innocent men
have been sentenced on various occa.
sions. 1t is also a matter of curiosity
that the names of prominent persons
are connected with certain crimes that
have been committed in recent years
Some of the sketches in the journal are
lively and humorous.

In a louisville Hospital.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. lS.-There was
a sad marriage at st. Joseph's infirmary
in this city. For eighteen months Miss
BERTHE Gardner of Martin. Tenn, has
been in an almost dying condition from
the effects of injuries sustained by a fall
FRO IN a horse. During all that time hei
betrothed, j. B. Wilson of Lyndon, KY,
hos been the most devoted of lovers. In
V lew of her infirmity she has frequently
offered to release him from his engage.
ment, but he has declined steadily. Re-
Gently she was brought to this city to
undergo surgical treatment, and of late
she has grown steadily worse. 1t seemed
that the end was near and the faithful
lover insisted that she should die his
wife. She consented, and the ceremony
was performed IN the presence of q few
friends. 1t was a most affecting scene,
and many tears were shed, the only dry
eyes being those of the bride, who, al
though unable to lift her head, gave
prompt and clear responses.

WASHINGTON, Feb ls.-The senate

there is nc hope Of its being taken up in
the house, nothing will be gained by
pressing it to a vote in the senate. The
measures which will be passed in the
senate are the bills which have passed
the house, or the resolutions on hich
the senate alone is to take action.
Underthese conditions it is hardly likely
that Senator Frye will antagoniz e the
census bill with the Union Pacific.
Hale expects the census bill to occupy
the time of the senate for a day or
more. Meantime the appropriations

These measures and the Texas elections
resolution should keep the senate busy
I. through the week, although several
bills of minor Importance will probably
be slipped through in the intermissions
This week in the house promises 10 be
a most lively one. To-day IS uspen
sion day, but it is likely to be fritterel
away, as several members will make
d.latory motions to prevent the calling
up of the Pacific railroad funding bill,
which is the regular order. Mr.. Mills
will call up Tire report on the tariff ques-
ton, and an extended and exciting de-
bate, which may take several days, will
probably ensue. The are two %appropria-
ton bills to be passed-the postoffice bill
aud the deficiency bill-which will be
called up at the earliest opportunity.
Several conference reports, notably the
territorial, will be presented. and as they
are matters OF the highest privilege they
will take precedence over all other ques-
tions when presented. Mr.. McCresry
will try to call up the Edmunds Panama
resolution, and this will undoubtedly
give rise to debate, as Messrs. Norwood
and Russell viii combat the position
taksn:by the majority.
Mr.. Randall will also try to reach the
Cowles bill on the calendar. This, it is
feared, will meet with decided opposi-
ton from MIR. Mills and others, and fiji.
clustering tactics may be resorteu to to
defeat its consideration.

a possible way of escape has opened up
for the contractors. The validity of the
$250,000 bond has also been questioned,
and it is now being examined carefully
for the purpose of finding out whether,
like the tunnel it. will fail toshold water.

government will have to sustain the

An Exploding Boiler Wrecks a Hotel
in the Early Morning.
A MOST APPALLING SCENE.
The Wreck Takes Fire and scores of I'm.
prisoned Persons Meet Death in a
Terrible Form Loss of Life
Estimated at Fifty.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. IS. - The
boiler in Park Central hotel, this city,
blew up with terrific force at 5 O'Clock,
totally wrecking the entire front of the
structure, which was a five-story brick.
The ruins Immediately took fire and
the work of the tiremen was greatly i'm
peded by dense volumes of smoke and
steam which hung over the debris. An
immense crowd soon packed the streets
in the vicinity, and spectators were APP
palled by the shrieks and groans of
many human beings who were impris-
oned in the mass of timber and masonry
from which flames were bursting. By
0 o'clock the flames were so far subdued
that the rescuers We're enabled to get at
some of the victims. Some were pinned
beneath heavy timbers, upon which
rested masses OF masonry, rendering
the work of rescue extremely hazard
Dug. 1t is the most horrible catastrophe
that has aver been known in Ha rtford,
and when the list of dead and wounded
is completed, it will be found to be a
horror equal to any that has ever taken
place within the last half century. The
loss of life is believed not to be less
than fifty.
Among those known to be buried in
the ruins are:
Rev. DIR. L.. Perrin and wife.
r. w. F. Whiting, of the Hartford Life
and Annuity company.
Dwight Buell., Wellington.
Ketchum, proprietor of the hotel, wife
and son.

Max Gallody, editor of the Hartford
Herald.

J Helen LaPonte, guest.
Jennie Dicke, guest.
About SIN persons nave Deen sent To
the hospital. Owing to the destruction
of the register of the botel the names of
many guests cannot be a%scertained. The
catastrophe is generally supposed to
have been caused by the explosion Of
the boiler, although some doubt is ex-
pressed OIL this point, as the building
has been popularity believed to be unsafe.
1t was built on made ground. The street,
department and railroad have furnished
their force of laborers and the work of
searching for bodies is now going for
ward in a systematic way.
At the hospital: Jacob Turpin, drug
clerk, Hartford; Edward Perry, night
clerk, hotel.
George Ketchum, a brother of tbs
proprietor, is also in the ruins. Mr..
Pendleton of Indiana, who was solicit
ing subscriptions to complete the monu-
ment to Thomas A. Hendricks, is among
the missing. Mr.. James, agent of the
White Star line, was taken out at noon
alive, and not seeming to be very badly
injured, although not able to stand. He
said that Landlord Ketchum and wife
were under where he lay, and were still
| alive.
The hotel was built fifteen years age,
and cost, with furniture, S120,O00. 1t is
stated that no fragments of the boiler has
yet been found, which initiates against
the theory of q boiler explosion.

Mrs. Silvers, fully dressed. The bodies
of the children were found in bed up
stairs, and in the same room, on the
floor, lay Silvers weltering in his blood
and still breathing. Every one of the
victims had been shot through the tenn

himself, death was probably instantane-

and cannot recover. There is no known
