DeLamar Nugget.
A man hastily entered q La
Sale street bank recently and,
approaching q teller's window,
carelessly threw down check with
the remark, II would like to de-
post that; please credit the amount
to my account" The teller glanced
at the check and winked very hard
and vigorously to convince himself
that his eyes were still all right.
The bit of paper called for $463, 900
and bore the signature of one of
the most powerful syndicates in
this country. 1t was accepted
without word, and the deposition
left the bank within one minute of
the time he entered it. The man
was from Idaho.-Chicago Mail.
As neither Of the editors of this
paper have been in Chicago lately,
and as Captain DeLamar has, our
readers can readily guess who
deposited this check.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 20.-A desperate
attempt was made at the penltentiary
to-day by convicts to escape and two
prisoners were killed and one wounded.
The brake was frustrated only by the
bravery of Warden McClus and the
GOODNESS OF his guards. There was
about 125 men in the brickyard when a
train came in with material. plot
had been arranged among about forty
prisoners to make break for liberty.
-Four men seized the warden and four
more jumped into the locomotive. The
engineer, before he was thrown off, re-
versed his engine and put on full head
of steam. This sent the locomotive in
the opposite direction and spoiled the
original plans. The locomotive crashed
through the gate and was stopped by
ditched cars. In the meantime Warden
McClus, with sharp knives at his throat,
was being carried forward to open the
opposite gate The men killed are
William Gleason, sent up last year from
Seattle for thirteen years for robbery
and attempted murder, and JOHN Morris,
also sent for seven years from Seattle
for robbery. They and Latin, the
murderer, we're the leaders OF the crowd.
Before the coroner's jury this evening
Warden McClus gave the following ac-
count of the riot: This afternoon at |
o'clock the train came into the yard with
load of wood and -four and coupled on
to two of the empty cars. When this
/ was done | told them To clear the track

nized are Patrick Slattery, Annie Heag-
ney, John Gibbs ard William Berry.
All the bodies recovered tonight we're
dug out of the debris which covered the
sidewalk in front of the ruins
The building had a frontage of about
$50 feet on Park Place avenue and thirty
five feet on Greenwich street. 1t was
condemned thirteen years ago by the
building department. There are many
theories as to the cause of the disaster.
Chief Reilly, of the fire department, was
of the opinion that boiler had explod-
ed. Another believed the boiler in the
restaurant had exploded and caused the
disaster Then it was said some chemi-
Gals exploded in the drug store. The
most plausible theory, however, Is that
the wreck was caused by the shaky CON
dItlon Of the building and the vibration
OF the heavy presses running in the
lithographing and printing establish
ments on the upper floor. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that there was an explo-
sion, but the collapse is accounted for
in no other way than the one mentioned,
when it is taken into consideration that
the building was condemned thirteen
years ago. There was practically no
mortar between the bricks, and when
they were looked at after the smoke and
fire had subsidized they we're bare as

4 Death Trap.

New YORK, Aug. pa most dis
astrous accident occurred this afternoon
in Park place, between Greenwich street
and College Place. At that time the
street was filled with people and heavily
laden wagons and trucks. \ small
vaporish cloud was seen to burst from
the ground floor of 10, Y and "a Park
place, followed by dull. sullen roar
This was followed Immediately by an
eruption and a mass OF brick, stone and
timber was hurled thirty feet in the air.
Then the front walls of the buildings at
Nos 20 and "a fell crashing into the
street. leaving not the slightest SEM
blance of what had been three seconds
before an apparently strong and well
constructed building. The mass of
fallen brick and timber half filled the
street.
At first there was no sign of fire. The
falling walls broke the steam pipes from
which the steam was spouting forth. A
number OF electric wires were torn down
but, fortunately, the current was turned
off from all but one. The crowds made
the streets almost impossible. Fire was
seen now to be breaking out at No. 169
A large number of men who had
clambered upon the ruins to assist the
wounded people i'll getting out of the
building were forced from their posts by
the fire, which was spreading rapidly.
Owing to the blocked condition of all
neighboriug streets the fire department
could not get to the building for several
minutes. Finally one small stream
from hydrant played on the side next
n No S. Soon after the engines ar
rived and all directed their efforts
towards that side of the building.
Suddenly flames burst from the third

but badly cut and burned, was lifted
from the ruins. As her rescuer raised
her up IN his arms she lifted her ewes to
a window on the opposite side OF the
street and called in piteous tones, There
Is my mamma" It was indeed the
chllds mother, who, upon seeing her
child, became frantic with Joy. Only
the efforts of persons standing near her
prevented her from jumping out of the
window.
! As the tiremen placed the little girl in
the hospital ambulance she told them
her brother and sister we're both under
the bricks, dead. She said she was
playing in front of the building at the
time of the explosion Another body
fearfully burned was taken from.the
ruins about o'clock. almost immedi-
ately after the bodies of the little boy

thought there was about twenty-five
persons when the accident happened.
In the upper portion of the building
there was large number of persons en-
ploYed. 1t is not known how many
were employed in the building, but it
was thought probable that most of those
employed there were in the building at
the time of the accident.
For two hours the only subject OF
inquiry by those who thronged the street
was as TO how many were killed or
injured. 1t was fully two hours before
the fire could be sufficiently subdued
to allow the tiremen to make the least
effort to extricate the dead and wounded
from the ruins. The number of dead
was variously estimated from fifty to
200.
Dominick Burke, a cook employed in
the restaurant, escaped from the kitchen.
He said there we're five persons busy at
work in the kitchen when there was a
great crash. 1T seemed as it there was
the whole building falling about u.s.

Jacob Schlesinger, employed on the
opposite side of the street, said there
must have been at least hundred per,
sons in the building at the time the ex-
plosion occurred. He saw a dozen OF
more girls at the windows of one of the
Offices on the third floor Just as the
building fell.
