SAN Francisco, June 21.-The falling
wall of building in course of construc-
ton on Branner street, this afternoon,
resulted in the killing of John Killilea,
20 years Of age, and the injuring Of
Micheal Lynch and John Walsh. The
former escaped with slight injuries, but
the latter was injured to such an extent
that some fears are entertained for his
recovery.
These men, with others, were en-
ployed on the building, the entire mum
Der being seven, including Foreman
Carey. A high wind and loose bracing
is believed to have been the cause of the
accident. The building was being
erected for Police Commissioner Tobin,
and the contract was awarded to Francis
Buckley.
AS soon as the crash was heard the
streets were filled with people, report
having gone out that all of the workmen
were killed or severely injured. Will
ing hands soon set to work to rescue the
workmen, and no sooner had one end of
the wall been raised, than the PROSTATE
form of Killilea was observed, lying on
the joists, his skull crushed and life ex-
tinct. Lynch was jammed in between
the joists, and the support given to the
wall by his left shoulder prevented the
entire frame from coming on his head.
Walsh was found to be helpless and suf-
fering greatly, and he was Immediately
removed to st. Mary's hospital, where he
is being attended to. Killilea's remains
were taken care of by the coroner.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Escheated Mormon Property to
Devoted to Common Schools.

Escheated Mormon Property to be
Devoted to Common Schools.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-In the senate
today the house bill supplementary to
the act of March %, 1882, in reference
to bigamy, was taken up. 1t provides
that all funds and property lately be-
longing to the Mormon church shall be
devoted to the use and benefit of the
common schools of that territory.
Butler offered an amendment for de-
voting the funds to the endowment of
institutions of learning in Utah, and for
that purpose turning them over to the
general board of education of the Church
of Jesus Christ or Latter Day Saints,
subject to regulations to be approved by
the president of the United States, and
not to be used in teaching or propagat-
ing polygamy.
Edmunds, in charge of the bill, op-
posed the amendment.
Voorhees, interpolated that Edmunds
was in too great hurry to get at the
results of litigation not yet concluded.
With that litigation still undecided in
the supreme court of the United States,
he thought this was not the proper time
to decide where the fruits of the litiga-
ton should go.
Butler also argued that the proposed
legislation was premature.
Teller also favored delay. If the Nor
mon church could use the money for
proper and right purposes, the Mormon
church ought to have it. That was the
plain ethics of the matter.
Buffers amendment was defeated
yeas, 8; nays, "a.
The nine affirmative votes were given
by Bates, Berry, Butler, Call, Coke,
Harris, Ransom, Teller and Vance. Ali
the negative votes but one (Payne's) were
given by Republicans.
There was no quorum, but Butler, in
view of the vote, withdrew his amend
ment.
Voorhees, moved to postpone the bill
till the second Tuesday in December.
Edmunds opposed the motion. He
said the bill did not affect the property
at all until after the supreme court
should dispose of everybody's rights,
public and private.
Voorheess motion was not agreed to
yeas, 20; nays, 25. The bill was then
passed without division. There were
some formal amendments made to it.
which will require conference.
Morrill, moved to proceed to considera-
ton of the senate bill to establish an ed
ucational fund, and apply the proceeds
OF public lands and the receipts from GER
tain land grant railroad companies, to a
more complete endowment and support
OF colleges for the advancement of sci
ence and industrial education
After some objection it was taken up,
but soon went over without action.
Edmunds offered an amendment to
the sundry civil bill to pay to the widow
of Chief Justice Waite $3.50, equal to
the balance of his salary for one year,
and appropriating $4,000 for tablet in
the interior of the Washington monu-
ment, stating briefly the history of the
structure. Referred.
The senate bill authorizing the city of
Albany, Oregon, to construct a bridge
across the willamette river was passed.

MISAPPREHENDED.
What Mr.. Blaine Did Say About the
Mckinley Bill.


WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Referring to
the published stories concerning the
scene in the room of the committee on
appropriations the other day, a gentle
man who was present said tonight the
whole affair was greatly misappre-
hended. The discussion which took
place was not in relation to the general
schedules of the Mckinley bill, but the
feature which Blaine condemned was
that of giving free market in the
United States to the products of the su-
gar planters of the southern continent,
and not asking in return free markets
for the products of our own farmers,
where we can get them merely for the
asking. Blaine says corn would not be
selling in Nebraska for eighteen cents
bushel if the markets of Latin America
were open to our products.
