HURLED INTO A GULF.

Two Hundred People Meet with An Acct
dent While Watching Jumper.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 1.-two
hundred people were hurled from a
broken foot-bridge IN Beyerles Park at
8 O'Clock last night, and piled in a
struggling mass on the sloping sides of
gully, or precipitated into the bed of
the stream sixty feet below. Forty
persons received more or less cuts
and contusions, some of which may
prove fatal.
The crowd had been drawn to the
park by the announcement that man
named Bellar would jump from a cable
stretched from the cliffs to the artificial
lake nearly hundred feet below. One
of the best points of observation was
from . foat-bridge across q gully sixty
feet high. This trail structurs, some
seventy feet in length, was packed with
mon, women and children. Suddenly,
with . loud crash, the over-weighted
stringers snapped and the 200 occupants
of the structure were pitched headlong
lpto the rayine,
Men, women and children fought
their way out of the hsap as best they
could, trampling on the ones below and
crushing down those who impeded
their progress. Whom the last person
had been rescued from the pile it was
found that all but ton of the victims
were able 70 90 to their h9mes unas-
assistod The others were taken by the
mbulances to the hospital or their
homes. Some of the ten have internal
injuries that may prove fatal.

Verge of q Strike.

The Police Force of London on tho
Verge Of q strike.
LONDON, June 16.-The feeling of in
dignation on the part of the London
police at their treatment by the Gov
eminent, hourly increases. The latest
and by no means the least cause of irri-
tation is the cutting down by Home
Secretary Matthews of the bills for ex-
penses and overtime of the men. What
the seoretary's object is in harassing
the force can only be conjectured.
1t is believed by many that the in
tention of the Government is to provoke
a general strike and thus obtain an
excuse for getting rid of a large num-
Der of the rank and file, and filling
their places with mon who can be more
absolutely depended upon than the
present force to implicitly do the work
of the Government on such occasions
as the Trafalgar Square meetings or the
recent temperance parade, should need
arise in future.
The men have nearly reached the
striking point, but have decided to
await the publication of the 5uperan-
nuation bill before taking action,

Vague Rumors Afoat.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-There are
many vague rumors a1oat in Toxic
concerning the reported taking of
Corea. There is some trouble in Corea,
but the Government officials of Japan
know nothing definite as to its nature.
All that is surely known is that all the
British men-of-war are lying in the
harbor with steam up and under orders
to sail at moments notice. Several
have already gone. The American naval
force, under Rear Admiral Belknap, is
expecting orders to sail for Corea,
Dispatches from Corea say that the
United States Minister, Augustine
Heard, has arrived there, and the re-
firing Minister, H. A, Dinsmore, is
about to depart,

Is what counts these days, With
us the quality is the Best every time.
We don't figure down one bit on that.
If we did we would not have to figure
down SO low on our profits, but anchor
fast to the best quality and then figure
way down on the price to meet COM

every time, when the style or quality
compare in the least with the goods we
carry. The boom we are having on

for $12 each shows that the public ap-
preciate genuine bargain, when the
quality is the high grade that they
want. Now we are having just an
other such a run on Flannel Shirts
