Frightful Disease Epidemic
in a Country District Of
Indiana.

AKRON, O., Nov. 1.-Two Howard
street business blocks collapsed at Ito
this afternoon, and it is feared several
persons are buried in the ruins. One
of the blocks was stone front, four
stories high. occupied 10y Herrick &
Son, crOckery jObberS and retailers.
The other was of brick, three stories
high, occupied by the bakery and con-
fectionery establishment of b. Lafferty.
About twenty people were i'll the dining
rooms in the rear of the bakery. They
heard the premonitory crash ann
rushed out of the back door, all being
saved. In Herrick q Sons store were
the bookkeeper and several clerks, all
of whom jumped through back windows
and doors.
The fronts of both blocks fell into the
street, the heavy stone work of the Her
rick block crashing clear to the ground.
Several persons were covered by the
debris. Francis Miner. aged twenty
five, was pinned to the ground by a
heavy stone, the right leg being COM
pletely crushed from his body just above
the knee. and only the bleeding stump
being left. Walter Stanley, twelve, was
crushed so that his feet will have to be
amputated. Miss Laura Waltz, school

the front door. and right through falling
stone and brick, and by a miracle eS-
capped with only a few Stratches. Mrs.
David Frank. of Copley. and her daugh-
ter, Zeedla Frank, were hit by flying
brick and knocked down, but are not
seriously hurt. Alma Rush, sixteen,
who was in the bakery. was cut about
the face. and was covered with chemi-
Gals used in confectionery manufacture.
She is moi dan gerously hurt.
The block occupied by Herrick q Son
was owned by |. lsbelI of this city, and
Henry Clark, or Hartford, Conn. The
one occupied by Lafferty was owned by
the estate of DR.. Z. w. Howard.
Loss on the Herrick block is S25. 900 /;
OIL the Lafferty. $4,000. Herrick &
Sons individual loss is $4,000; LATER
tvs about $4,000. The rear wallsso
both blocks stood intact, and the wreck
age there did not fall TO the first floor,
as in the front. thus giving the occu-
pants a chance TO escape, and it was a
miracle that score OF lives were not
lost. The wall between the two blocks
has been gradually undermined in the
last few years by water washed from an
overfiowed sewer. The Herrick build
! ing was pronounced unsafe some time
/ ago. aud Mr.. Herrick says that he called
the attention of the owner Friday to

Police Have New CleW in the
Cartwright Case.
CHICAGO, Nov. THE police claimed
tonight that they had a new clew
through which they hoped to at least
throw some light on the mystery that
still surrounds the death of the
actress. Fannie Cartwright. last
Tuesday night. The information
came from young man named
Harry Burns. Burns said that he has
heard indirectly of the confession of a
young man who was with the prisoner
Beatley the night the girl died, and that
they (Beattey and the latter's cOmpan-
ion) put the body OH the railroad track.
On the truth or falsity of the alleged
confession hangs the possible solution
of a case that has proved very puzzling.
The police refused to disclosed the
name of the new suspect.

To this class belong all who earn more than $3.50

subscribers it is to supply the wants of these
that the mills and factories run it is by carry
