INTO THE WATER.
A Kansas City Bridge COllapSes
With Eighty People
Upon 1t.

Kansas City, Mo, April 29.-Chelsea
Park, q pleasure resort on the line of the
elevated road i'm Kansas City, Kan, was
the scene of very exciting incident this
afternoon, portion Of the bridge over hn
artificial lake giving way and pIungiDg
about eighty persons, among whom We're
many ladies and children, into the water,
which at that point was feet deep. For
tunately there were no fataliui.s S, though
everybody got ducking and
several caae near drowning.
The crowd at the park, always large on
Sunday, was uuusaIIy large yesterday, the
attraction being Pref. AIphorse King,
who walks on the water. The bridge in
question is 80 feet long and about ~ feet
above the water. 1t being the most sd-
vsntageous location was crowded with spec
tstors. The professor had just crossed the
lake, the crowd following him to the east
side of the bridge. When the water-walk-
er stepped on terra frma, the band Oh the
other side struck up the Boulanger Msrcth
whereupon everybody having nothing bee,
ter to do rushed back to the west end OF tn
bridge. They pressed in SO close together
that the ratings gave way and afterwards
about 20 feet of the bridge itself. Eighty
persons were plugged headlong into the
water, the boards and tImbers falling on
top of some of them. Willing hands soon
rescued the mcst of those who failed TO
scramble out uRaided, but few unfor-
Inmates who came near finding watery
grave.
Samuel Lester, a musician, of Mary
vile, Mo-. was taken out uncon scious, and
Mrs. j. III. PendergrasI, of 1921 Cherry
street, this city, was nearly strangled when
rescued. The narrowest escape, however,
was that of Eddie Stevens, aged ii, of
Wyaudotte, who was held beneath the
water by some timbers that fell on him.
He was taken out unconscious by Joe Ben
son, colored boy, who div.d for him. Be
sides these, ten others were more or less
seriously bruised.

A DISGRACE
To the Countrywide Centennial
Ball i'm New York.

New York, May 2.-Tuesday nights
ball is still the talk of the town Whether
the astounding reports of what happened
at that ball we're exaggerated or not, ii ID
not easv to say; but, il they were not, il is
certain that there never was a French ball
so disorderly and unlicensed as this great
sssemblage becsme after the supper r, ON
was opened. There we're too many stories,
and they were too nearly alike for there to
be much exagerstion about them.
Dancing was almost impossible even af-
ter the supper room was crowded. At that
time q few couples, constantly changing.
wslized in little clearing 10 the center of
the densely crowded floor. There Was no
improper dancing. Tn. improprieties were
committed when men and women got drunk.
Then they were sometimes shocking. Some
men Who went TO the cOunter, 10 ask for a
glass of champagne had two quart mag.
NUNS handed them and then they were
told to get out of the Wy in order that
others might come Presently all about
the room were seen, each with a quart or
TWO quart bottles in one hand aud a glass
in the other, pouring in and drinking down
as fast as greed and idiOcy would permit.
When the artillerymen came In their awk-
ward, rustic movements excited drunken
laughter and the intoxic ted men swung
their empty champagne bottles at them,
occasionally dropping few TO b. broken
INFO jagged flinders on the foor. Besides
these heaps of broker glass were evidences
that many of the men had been sick, so
that the beautiful ROOM was becoming
gradually turned into u pig per.
The ladies with the most costly and
magnificent garments ever seen by the pub
lie had to pick their way over the floor,
and az they did so. men who were utter
strangers to them pressed glIsses of cham
payne bef, re their faces. Insults of great
er form were oisred to them, aud that was
not the half of il, for their dresses were
torn and their persons bruised in some in
stances. These injuries We're often acct
dental. Tipsy men tripping on the stairs
sometimes caught the slender film of CLOTH
ing on n ladies shoulder and tore it of. or
they trod on the long trains and ripped
them at their waists.
Lace handkerchiefs, gloves and other
such things Uttered the floor. A number
Of the women became intoxicated aud for
got themselves so far as to rest in the most
careless manner upon the stairs. The po-
lice stopped the drinking at o'clock, an
officer standing al each table. Later still
the police cleared the supper room with
some force. Siuyvessnt Fish was among
those who were pushed out of the room.

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
Twenty People Killed by an
Accident on the Grand
Trunk Line.

Hamilton, Ontario, April 90 "A terri
BILE accident occurred on the Grand Trunk,
near here, at o'clock yesterday morning
and the engine ran into a water tank. Two
cars telescoped and Immediately took fire.
All the dead, twenty In number, have been
taken out. The only body identified is
that of L. s. Quincy, of Brooklyn. He
was instantly killed, but not burned. An
Italian was also instantly killed. The
OTHER eighteen were burned beyond the
possibility of identification. About twen-
ty persons were injured, but only one or
two seriously. None of the train hands
were killed. The fireman was slightly
burned and received bad scalp wound
The unfortunate train was running at
full speed, when suddenly il left the track
and the locomotive pitched into a large
water tank. The wreck took fire imme-
dis. ely. Seven out of the ten coaches,
composing the train, were burned.
In the ruins of the smoking car, search
ers discovered seventeen charred bodies.
The accident was the worst which has &C.
CURED 10 this section since the great Des
Jardins canal disaster which happened al
most at the same spot thirty years ago.
When the engine struck the tank, the ten
der leaped completely over both, as also
did the baggage car. Thirty-fiv, people
were in the baggage car and just about half
of the number were roasted alive. The
car was almost instantly euveloped in
flames from the engine.
L. 8. Quincy, of Brooklyn, who was in
the smoker, was thrown TO the side of the
track and decapitated.
Another report of the accident says that
the remains Of from sixteen to eighteen
men were taken out of the wreck. They
were cut to pieces almost to a man and
burned beyond all possibility of recognition.
They were huddled together in heap IN
the end of the smoker, and were pinned

Mr.. Bradley, of Kentucky, in declin.
ing to serve as American Minister
Resident at Corea, has placed the
Administration in an unpleasant
position. Mr.. Brsdley's declination
was caused by the fact that the Corean
representative of this country is
obliged to support great many i'm
pecunious Americans. 1t appears that
many Americans who 60 to Cores
settle themselves upon the
Minister, who is compelled to main
tain them or let them starve. In
stances are cited where Americans
have made purchases in Corea and
ordered the bills sent to the Minister.
As the salary is only $500, Minis
ter cannot save much if he becomes a
charitable organization. Three Re-
puhlicans besides Bradley have
refused the appointment.

Weekly Sermon.

From the words of Franklin the Wise,
we take this proverb:
"Not to oversee workmen is to leave them
your purse open"
Have you, my hearers, read the story
of the English nobleman who possessed
an estate? He lived upon it for a few
years and getting into debt, was obliged
to sell part of it and rented another part
to an industrious man. After few
years, this man came to the nobleman
asking the privilege of buying the land
he had rented. AS he was good tenant
and had paid his rents regularly, the
nobleman was 10th to lose him and asked
how he had managed the estate so well,
while he himself had only been sinking
deeper in debt. "Ah," said the tenant,
sit was all in the way we treated our SER
wants. When you wanted anything done
you said, Co. When wanted anything
done said, Come The lesson, hear
ers, is one that is impressed by fable and
/ story again and again in this life. Other
people cannot do our work as well as we
can ourselves. They may be hands and
| feet for US, but we need to be brains for
them and look out that they do not run
away from duty. 1t is great praise to
say of workman, "His best work is
done when the master is away" There
is also an categorical application from
our text. Our senses might be called the
workmen for the soul. We need to watch
them, lest they ruin US. How often
sloth seizes our eyes and we are brought
to want by its power. How many times
our appetites, those workmen who give
life and blood to the body, are not over
seen and they bring in poison instead OF
food. We must guard our hands that
they do the right work. We should watch
our lips that they fill the world with
kind words and do not get into the habit
of snarling and grumbling. For if we
do not oversee these workmen, they will
not only open our purses, but they viii
fill them with burrs and briars to wound
us in the future. So, both in business
and in life, let US learn the lesson ane
oversee the workmen who are transact
ing business for us, not only for time
but also for eternity.
