An Ostrich Race.
ILos Angeles Letter.l

lLoo Aueclco bcttcf.l
At ia command from the doctor one of the
Madrasese keepers opened the doors Of one
Of the pens. and in response to the doctors
call two superb ostriches came running to
him. After caressing the gentle creatures
for few moments he showed them hand
full Of igs,o which they were extremely fond.
Two of his men then retained the birds by
placing nooses about their legs until he and
myself had walked to the ether end of the
course. Then, at signal from the doctor.
the birds were released and the race began.
1t was rare sight. Ornithologists tell US
that the stride Of the ostrich when feeding is
from 20 to % inches; when walking, but not
feeding, 26 inches, and when terrified, from
II IL to IA feet. IL seemed to me that In this
race for handful of figs from their master
these gigantic birds covered the last-named
distance at every stride. Like the wind.
they came, their great necks stretched for
ward and upward to their utmost length;
their wings like arms, working with mo-
tion similar to that made by their legs, and
filling the air with mighty sound like the
rushing of a whirl-wind. Nearer and nearer
they came, their speed increasing with every
moment till i was terrified lest they should
run us down, feeling certain that we could
abreast for nearly half the distance, and
then one began to forge ahead. He steadily
increased his lead till within few feet OF US
when he turned his head and seeing that
his competitor was considerably In the rear,
he slackened his pace. and Jogging up 70 the
doctor, received his reward In figs and ca
resses. VIZ

a Ranshackie Building In Montreal
Comes TumbIIne Down.

MONTREAL, March AIT 11.30 this morn
the roof of the large planning mill Of Lapham
& Co., at the corner Of Phillips and Dorches-
ter streets, in this city. suddenly collapsed
and three Of the four walls fell out
ward. There was not moments warning.
and some Of the workmen inside were CON-
pletely buried in the ruins.
Ambulances were at once sent for to the
General Hospital. half q dozen blocks away.
and hundreds Of willing hands set to work
TO extricate the unfortunate men.
The boiler and furnace were In the build
ing. but fortunately the structure, which Is
Of frame, and the immense stock OF infiam-
mable material In the debris, did not catch
fire. This Is considered miracle. as the
boiler-room was not enclosed by brick.
Up to II. so there had been three men taken
out Of the ruins, none Of them dead. but all
seriously injured. 1t Is not known now
many are In the ruins.
The fireman Of the mill, L. Lamarche, nad
his head and face badly crushed and Is likely
10 die. IA workman named Lalonde had
both legs broken. Two other workmen had
their ribs and arms broken. Half dozen
others received cuts and bruises.
There were twenty working in the mill at
the time Of the collapse, and how they es-
capped death is incomprehenslble even TO
the men themselves. They only know that
they heard the floor above cracking; that,
panic seizing them, they ran In every direc-
tion.
Those who got to the street got out unin-
iured, those who reached the boiler room
were badly cut.
The building was Of the most ramshackle
description. 1t is thought that the vibration
Of the heavy engine caused the collapse.

A BACKWARD MARCH OF TIME.
The Ancient Trick With the Clock
Performed by Capt. Bassett.

3 WASHINGTON, March 4.-Ex.Vice Presi-
dent Hamln was the first of the distinguish
ed visitors of the day to make his appear
ance in the Senate. He stepped up to the
chair, and was cordially greeted by Mr.. In
gals. AS he took the seat assigned him in
front of the secretary's desk, he was ap-
plauded by the Senators and spectators. The
appearance of Mr. Blaine a few moments
afterward, was the signal for like demon
stration.
On motion of MIR. Sherman, a committee of
two Senators was appointed to join with
like committee ON the part of the House
to notify the President that both houses of
Congress had finished business, and were
ready to adjourn sine die. Senators Sher-
man and Salisbury were appointed, and at
seven minutes befor IL Mr.. Sherman report
ed that the committee appointed to wait up
on the President had performed that duty,
and the President replied he had 10 further
communication to make. As soon as the re-
port was made, Capt. Bassett, the ancient
doorkeeper of the Senate, repeated tie trick
SO often performed in the closing moments
of Congress, of putting back the hands OF
the dial of the clock, SO that it lacked a
quarter of an hour of noon. The presiding
officer held his hand discreetly before his
eyes so as not to witness the Justification to
the record. The spectators laughed and
clapped their hands at the performance. At
five minutes before II, while the the presid-
ing officer held fan spread before his face
take backward turn at two minutes to ~.
The President of the United States was
then announced. After the Inauguration,
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

HARRISON iNAucuRATEp.
Impressive Scenes During the Cere-
mony at the Capitol. r

WASHINGTON, March AT the Capitol
the crowd began to collect at o'clock. The
great terrace on the west front was black
with humanity. The principal attraction at
the Capitol was at the Senate Chamber,
where the Vice President was to be sworn in
About 1900 tickets had been issued to those
entitled to view the proceedings there.
At 10 o'clock the doors of the Senate wing
were opened. The galleries were soon filled
by those who. by ticket, were entitled to
hold seats there to witness the inaugural
ceremonies. The diplomatic gallery was re-
served for the families of the diplomatic
corps, and this part of the room was soon
filed with the wives, and sons and daugh-
ters of the foreign representatives who nad
received their tickets of admission from tne
efhce of the Secretary of State. -
The families of the President, PRESIDENT
pro tempore Of the Senate, and OF the Presl,
dent-elect and Vice President-elect, occupied
seats In the gallery west of the diplomatee
MTs. Morton did not arrive until some time
aiter II O'Clock. and when they took their
seats they created quite stir. Every eye In
tne big room was turned upon them.

of masts being more than usual in vessels,
told the Captain / was afraid the strain on
the foremast would be more than 1t could
stand, as according to his plans the rigging
was not much support to the mast. The
work was done as well as it was ever done
on vessel. The claim is made that the dis
masting was caused by the drawing OF the
splices. Now the fact Is, the splces were as
long as they ever are made by any rigger.
and tucked three times. And no spices
were drawn when she was towed into port.
This fact can show. My employees who
did the work are the same that rugged the
ship Frederick Billings, and all my vessels
for the past ten years. One great reason for
the dismasting was. the fore topmast was too
large and heavy, being twenty-five inches.
which was larger than the masthead, which
any captain will admit was wrong. And the
fact that they had to shorten the masts and
make other changes demonstrates that the
fault was in the plan of the vessel, and not
mine.
My object in writing this is to show that
have good reputation as rigger. backed
by such shipbnilders as Messrs. Carleton,
Norwood Il Co.. Rockport, III. NJ. Bean
Camden and others, and that am In no way
responsible for the dismasting.

R,ppLssERosR RESTORED.
The story Of His Disgrace Expunged
from the Record.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Incidents OF last
night when Mr.. Riddleberger was rejected
from the Senate chamber by the sergeant-at-
arms had a pathetic sequel later. When
the Senate went into executive session at
O'Clock this morning 1t was for the purpose
of taking action at the request Of Mr..
Daniel of Virginia that the record Of the ar
rest Of Mr.. Riddleberger be expunged from
the journal Of the Senate. In support Of his
request, Mr.. Daniel made one Of the most
pathetic speeches ever heard on the Senate
floor. He said that while Mr.. Riddleberger
was his opponent politically, personally they
were friends. He spoke Of the besetting sin
Of his colleague. and VI his wife and seven
children, two Of whom witnessed from the
gallery the painful incident Of the night
He asked the Senate not TO make OF the mat
ter an official record for future generations
to point to.
Mr. ingalls, had no objection TO granting
the request Of Mr.. Daniel, and accordingly
the record was expunged. This released
Mr.. Riddleberger from arrest. He did not
appear on the floor Of the Senate today.

FORTY THOUSAND MEN.
Follow the President Through a
Crowd of a Quarter of a Mill on.


WASHINGTON, March AT the conclus-
ion of the delivering of his address. Presi-
dent Harrison turned and kissed Mrs. Har-
rison.
As the President and Ex-President drove
out from the carriage entrance of the SEN
ate wing of the Capitol, the head of the pro-
cession appeared in the great open space in
front of the East portico and joining it at
the head of the line the Presidential party
were driven down Pennsylvania avenue to
the Executive Mansion. The procession be-
gan to uncoil from the side streets on Capt.
tol Hill. 1t was Of huge proportions. The
rain had not interfered with the enthusiasm
or patriotism of the military and civic Or
ganiZations which had come to Washington
for the parade and fully 10000 men marched
In the rain TO the music of hundreds of
bands down the broad avenue between lines
of cheering people. The stands on the av-
enue were not much filed, but the win
dows were crowded and the covered balconies
all full. Occasionally head peered over
the edge of the roof of some tall building.
At the head of the column rode Gen. Jas.
| A. Beaver and his chief of staff. The scenes
along the line Of march from the Capitol to
| stand beggar description. A surging mass
| of humanity covered the sidewalks on eth
| er side of the street and every window in all
| the hotels, stores and residences on both
| sides of the thoroughfare were crowded
| with people. On the stands erected at the
street corners and in the little parks along
| the route thousands of people stood shelter
| ing themselves with umbrellas from the
| rain and shouting themselves hoarse as the
| Presidential party passed particularly
| Brilliantly caparisoned horsemen or
| splenddly uniformed military and civic
| organizations. The march from the Capitol
| to the White House was one continual ova-
| ton to the new President. 1t is safe to say
| that quarter of a million people watched as
| he passed along.
| AT 18th street the procession halted and
| the carriages containing the President and
4 Vice President made detour through the
| treasury grounds TO the Executive Mansion.
| A light lunch was awaiting the Presidential
/ marty in the private dining room. Among
those who sat down by the President and
| Vice President were Mr. Cleveland, Mrs
| Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee, Mr.. and
| Mrs. Russell Harrison, and Mrs. Saunders
