DOYLE'S FATAL FALL.
The Young Pugilist Precipi-
tated From a ScaffOld.
HIS SKULL BADLY FRACTURED.
The Winner OF the Fatal Fight With
Schaefer Crashes Down With
Weak ScafoId.

Charles Doyle, who killed "Billy'' schaefer in a
prizetight st the Peoples theater last winter,
met with an accident yesterday afternoon which
may cause his death
Doyle is painter by trade and for several
days he has been employed on the Ranka build
ing st the corner of Fourth and Pike streets
He was working at the second story of the build
ing on swinging sesfIold suspended from the
top of the structure by two great hooks, when
one OF the hooks gave way and he was precipt-
tated to the stone pavement, distance of
twenty feet. He struck on his head aud sus-
tanned injuries which fractured his skull in
several places NJ. ]. Foley, another painter.
was working on the same seaffold with Doyle
but he saved himself by catching hold OF loose
hanging sign. He chung TO it until other work
men put up a long ladder and rescued him from
his perilous position.
When Doyle struck the pavement blood
spurted from gaping wound in the scalp and
dyed the pavement with crimson stains.
Several gentlemen who were standing across
the street at the time of the accident rushed to
aid the wounded man. but he was unconscious
rung up, and Doyle was conveyed to Providence
hospital on the stretcher.
Just what caused the accident no one knows
Foley says that he and Doyle were sitting side
by side painting, when Doyle said "I want
some sand"
DoNie Eot up anu walked along the swinging
scailold to where some sand lay in a paper Hs
saw DOYLE reach down for the sand, and then
turned 10 his work. At that moment he felt
the scaffold give way, and heard a cry of horror
from Doyle. He felt himself falling and
grabbed the first thing he could get hold Of
which was sign. There he hung for several
minutes, and was almost exhausted when
helped down.
AT Providence hospital Doyle was placed in
h4l N nd
Carman, Eames, Woodruff, Young and Stewart
By the operation OF trepanning the fractured
skull was lifted from the brain, upon which it
was pressing. Not un:il o'clock last evening
did Doyle regain consciousness, and then he an
peared to he suffering grea. pain. He persisted
in tearing the bandages from his head and il
required three men 10 hold him. After a few
minutes he again reIapsed into unconscious
ness. Late last night, DIR. Stewart, who has
charge OF the ease, thought he might recover.
Doyle is handsome young man - years OF
age, ana his parents reside in Southern Oregon.

WASHINGTON AT WORLDS FAIR.
Plans for Building Approved-Chicago
Asks for s.. coo, 900 APPROXIMATION

CHICAGO, Dee. u--Washington, although one
OF the youngest of the sisterhood of states, has
taken front rank in active Worlds fair work,
and today presented plans for state buildings,
which were approved In addition to the build
ing, Commissioner Rochester offered to furnish
the construction department every flagstaff
that might be erected on the exposition
grounds. Chief Durham accepted the offer for
the directors.
Twenty one state delegations in the Worlds
fair conventions here today voted for resolu-
ton asking congress TO appropriate 100000 for
the exposition. Five other state delegations
that have not authority 10 vote on such cues
tons, put themselves on record individually in
favor of the resolution. II reviews the work
accomplished financially and materially by chi
cago: declares that the city has more than full
filed its pledges; calls attention TO the national
character of the exposition, and afiirms with
out hesitation that congress should promptly
appropriate 100000 for the completion of this
national enterprise. The advantages il saws
are to be reaped by the people OF the entire
country. The people of Chicago have contrib
uted 900, the city of Chicago S5,nD,OOO and
1t certainly would be reasonable for the rest of
the country TO contribute an additional 5000
Oo0, since the advantage to them is beyond cal
crlatlon. The credit OF the country, says the
resolution, is at stake. IL the fair fails it will
do us an ineslculsbie injury; If successful il
will do Us incalculahle good.
Tho jar between the state delegates and the
board OF control, as 10 the jurisdiction over the
applications for space and the selection OF ex-
hib.ts, finally settled by the adoption OF tho
resolutions declaring that the national commits
sion or it's board OF control should adopt such
regulations as may be necessary 10 enable
such OF the state or territorial boards
ms may desire, on request 10 inquire
into and consider the propriety of
al exhibits that may be offered by any citizen
or resident OF their respective states territor-
les, and that such board should Ike empowered
to receive and forward 10 the director general
al applications for space With such recomrnen-
oatlons and information ss they may think
proper; and in case any exhibitor applies 20 the
director general the application should DO re-
Ierred 60 the boar! OF bis state or territory.
The Chicago directors meeting tonight de-
eided 70 ask congress to give the exposition
$4,000, to 10 repaid in the same ratio as the

mrs. Lees Peculiar Want Supplied
Why She Wanted 1t.

Ii is not often that when woman claims to
be mother, her claim is disputed, but such is
the case with Mrs. T.. Z. Lee, alias Mrs q. G.
Green, who alleges that on Saturday evening
last she gave birth to female child The fact
that the alleged mother is anxious to have it APP
pear that her child is Legitimate gives rise to
the suspicion that she contempIates bringing
suit for damages against her former Lover, said
to be W. B. Leslie, mining man.
During the first week in November tall,
weii-built, dark.haired and black-eyed woman
called at the PosT- ISTELLIGESCER business
once and after great deal of hesitation ex-
planned that she acting for a dear friend,
whose name she would nt tell. She said her
friend, being physically feeNe, desired 10 adopt
child, not over days old at the most. In
fact, she would prefer that the child be not Yet
born, in order that she might take charge of the
infant from the moment of it's birth. The sex
of the infant was immateral. The following
advertisement was written by one of the clerks
and satisfied the applicant, who paid for three
insertions:
yTANTED-A BABY TO ADOPT AT BIRTH;
w a child of misfortune otherwise Address
Child, Post-lnteIigencer
Similar advertisements were inserted in the
other papers.
The woman, always attired in deep mourning
called at the publication Office several times,
and in all received six letters addressed
"Chiid.' She took them away and said moth
ing. About ten days ago she called at the bust
ness Office again and stated that she had 'lo-
Gated child which would be born in about u
week" and that all was satisfactory. She now
has child in her possession. to which she
claims to have given birth last Saturday.
Mrs Lee at one time threatened to bring suit
against w. b. Leslie, the mining man, for Sc
duction under promise of marriage. A settle
ment was arranged out of court, but Mrs. Lee is
now reported TO deny having received the
amount agreed upon as consideration for not
pushing her suit. she is supposed to have pro-
cured the baby for the purpose OF bringing new
pressure TO bear on Mr.. Leslie.

The officers OF the company have shown great
energy, and have already ordered the machin-
cry for the new factory. It Is hoped that the
machinery viii arrive so that the plant can be
running in thirty days. There are now $4,000
worth OF orders on hand The most pressing
viii be filed at once outside, and the others
viii be done at the new mill.
The workmen at the mill will be paid on
Monday, as soon as the payroll can be made out.
Moran Bros. started their boiler works with
out much delay, being in hurry TO finish q
large boiler, for which they have contract.
Carpenters were put to work to repair the end
OF the building, aud in day or so they expect
their loss viii be adjusted by the insurance
company and everything be running as before.
Robert Moran refused to make any new estimate
OF the loss.
George Chapman, the night Waterman in
charge at the time of the fire, said yesterday:
The statement attributed to me that set my
lantern down OH the shay1ngs was entirely
erroneous. thought at first that might have
done that, and so stated to Wood, the other
night watchman who was absent at the time, but
my brother who was on watch with me IN
Woods place says positively that he saw the
lantern hanging on the steam gauge after the
fire broke out On reflection / have come to
the conclusion that the furnace doors must have
been blown open, as there was considerable ire
in the furnace, and the force of the flame might
force the doofs open and throw some oil the lire
out on the shayfngs. The doors have been
blown open in this manner on previous ocea-
sions, but there always happened TO be someone
Mt hand, or else there happened TO be
but few shavings around the frebox.
But last night there was big pile OF
dry shayings there, and though l had swept
them back carefully leaving large space in
front OF the furnace perfectly clean, the fire
evidently thrown out far enough 10 reach them,
and they went off like powder.
Some blame me because | did not get the
steam pump started, and try TO control the blaze
when ! first discovered it, but the fact is that
the haInes spread so rapidly that 1t was 1mpossi-
bic 10 get into the boler-room TO turn on the
steam 1t is easy enough for person standing
at a distance to say this or that might have been
done, but let him be placed in the same posi-
ton once aud then he may realize some of the
obstacles which usually present themselves in
those emergencies.
The adjustment of the loss will probably be
made today by committee OF three, represent
ing the companies which carried the risks.
The condemned city water main which runs
TO the of the fire is constructed of ''spiral
weld" and not "kalamein' pipe as stated in the
Observation-Disclosures yesterday.
The instantaneous Fire Alarm Company lost
six auxiliary boxes which were located IN the
works. Ii is said that the Waterman, in order
to make sure of ringing alarm, pulled all
six of the boxes although, when one box con-
nected with any one street box has been pulled,
the others viii not act.
