One Of the tallest Office buildings in
Chicago collapsed on the morning of the
18th. A number of workmen rushed
out just in time to escape being crushed
under the mountain of wreckage> The
Owings block is in ruin. It was beau
tiful Gothic structure, fourteen stories
high, situated at the corner Of Dearborn
and Adams Streets, just opposite the
post-ofice, in the center of the business
district. The ten lower stories fell in, one
after another, leaving the walls and four
upper floors and the roof standing in a
decidedly shay condition. In the
tenth story the tile flooring was defect
i've or was damaged by the natural set
Ting of the building. Without the
slightest warning the great mass Of tiles
and girding forming the injured floor
crashed to the story below, carrying it
with it. and the two together. acting
like huge pile-driver, pounded way
for themselves to the bottom.
About 125 workman have been steadi-
ly engaged in the building, but the day
being Sunday, less than dozen we're
on hand. All were in the basement
when at half past an ominous cracking
and tremendous crash was heard. No

were not moment too soon. A
succession of thunderous reports,
then one prolonged mighty din,
and each scurrying, trembling work
man was enveloped in a great uprising
cloud of dust and broken plaster.
Gradually the air cleared, and a few OF
the harder spirits ventured back in
side. Where before story rose above
story east of the central skylight in
mathematical precision and with every
appearance of colossal strength and
durability, now mounted q fantastic
heap of debris, while the space $50 feet
above was empty save for bent and dis
torted iron beams that here and there
projected from the walls.
The architects are Cobb & Frost, who
have the contract to plan the great New
berry library, for which many million
dollars have been bequeathed. F. R.
Owings, a Boston capitalist, after whom
the wrecked building was named, is the
owner. No information as to the prob
sble loss or what was to be done could
be obtained from any person around
the wreck. Every one who would be
likely to know had. apparently been
cautioned to maintain silence.

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN MICHIGAN.
A Well-KnOwn Horse Breeder Shoots His
Wife, Two Children and Himself.

A shocking tragedy occurred in the
village of Tecumseh, Mich, on the night
of the 10th, by which whole family
has been wiped out of existence. Frank
l.. Silvers, a well-known horse breeder,
shot his wife and two daughters,
Edith and Ada, aged IL and 9 re-
spectively, and then ended his awful
act by shooting himself. Silvers
bought the revolver with which the
crime was committed the same day.
The bodies were found in the morning
by nelghbors who, noticing that the
curtains were down and failing to arouse
any one, forced open a door. In the
parlor lay the body of 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 weller
ing in blood and still breathing. Every
one of the victims had been shot
through the temple and. with the ex-
ception OF Silvers himself, death prob
ably was instantaneous. He was still
alive, but unconscious and cannot re-
cover. There is no known cause for the
deed. Silvers was apparently in pros
porous circumstances and his relations
with his family were pleasant

night of the 10Th, the sheriff returning

three indictments having been found
against them by a grand jury OF New
York last January. One is issued for
fraud against the sugar company
and two on complaint of Law
son N. Fuller. of New York. On
these indictments acquisitions were
made on the governor of Michigan, who
issued warrants for their arrest on Feb
ruary /. The trouble has been to get
all the parties within the state at the
same time. Mrs. Friend was in conceal
ment and Howard was at Windsor
They returned to Milan, feeling sure
that no criminal action was to be
brought, but they were arrested as
above state. AS it was late no bail could
be obtained and they remained in Jail.
Howard threatened that when they got
to New York there would be sensation

amy by IA minneapolis Young Lady.
A Minneapolis dispatch of the 18th
says: Miss May Cunningham, one Of
the four hundred" of the Mill City,
has stirred up social sensation by
charging William A. Kelly, well-known
business man OF East Minneapolis, with
bigamy. Some time ago Miss Cunning
ham and Kelly went to Hudson,
Wis, and were clandestinely
married. Subsequently it devel-
oped among their intimate friends
that Kelly was a married man
when he welded Miss Cunningham,
but the scandal was hushed up. Miss
Cunningham, or MRS. Kelly No. 2, has
lived with her mother, a well-to do
widow, on Second Street, ever since.
She declared at the time that Kelly
cruelty deceived her and she was de-
terlnined that he should make repara-
ton. Correspondence has passed be-
tween Kelly and wife No. 2 upon this
matter of settling. She demanded
the payment of money, and, accord
ing to her statement, Kelly said he
would give her $1,000. Ii this had
been done the case would never have
been heard Of But Miss Cunningham,
the name she prefers to be called, is on
the warpath. Yesterday she called up
on County Attorney Jamison and con-
suited him upon the subject. She said:
81 am going to prosecute Kelly for big
amy. The villain deceived me by rep
resenting that he was not married.
Since our marriage he has treated me
shametully. He has told things about
me and tried to injure my char
acter. He has tried to make me
out anything but the woman [

by paying me $1,000, but he has gone
back on his word. l have the marriage
certificate here. Kelly wanted me de-
strov it. He says that I knew he was
married when l married him. If ever
lie was uttered that is one" The
young woman spoke with much feeling
and displayed the marriage certificate,
which she has carefully preserved. The
name of the clergyman who officiated
at the unhappy ceremony at Hudson,
Wis, was signed to the certificate, as
were also the names of the wife and
daughter of the clergyman as witnesses.

panied by Sheriff N. shawl. Mr.. Ha-
thorn was in quest of MS wife, Mrs.

brought to the central station, where an
affecting reconciliation took place be-
tween Hathorn and his wife. The lat

the mother of four children. She was
married at the age of Is, and is now

THE HARMONY SOCIETY,
Celebration of the Eighty fourth Ami

Celebration of the Eighty fourth Ami
versary of Its Organization.
The members Of the Economy or
Harmony Society commemorated the
eightv-lourth anniversary of it's organ
Ization at their pretty little town on the
Fort Wayne Railroad, near Pittsburg
on the 18th. The exercises were held
in the chapel, conducted by the veneer
able Jacob Henrici. The programme
was the same as has been observed
year alter year, but the number
of observers WAS smaller. When
the Harmony Society was formed
eighty-four years ago by George Rapp
there were 500 members. The founder
believed that Christ would come upon
earth a second time, and he claimed to
have been informed that the date would
be 1886. He said that in order to be
prepared to participate in the joys of
kingdom which He was to establish
His followers should sunder marital
ties, and those who were not yet
married should take upon them
selves vows of celibacy. They also
put all their money and property into
one common fund and located on
tract Of land in Better County. After
encountering many difficulties from dis
ruptions, the main body settled in their
present location at Economy, where
they have lived since 1905. Frugal and
industrious, they have accumulated
large sums of money, and by judicious
investments and the enhancement in
the value of their lands the community
is now said to be worth $50, 10000

At Birdsboro, Pa, on the 10Th, the

their nail works, where they employ

of nails they would be obliged to reduce

tinue running. The employees are asked
to accept a reduction, commencing
