The Baltimore Affair.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 5.-The examina-
ton before the judge of crimes con-
tinucs TO drag along. The evidence OF
the Baltimore sailors left no doubt OF
the unprovoked nature Of the assault
upon them, and that it was prompted by
hatred of Americans. Although the
English here charged the Americans
with trying to bully the Chilians, they
now change their tone and go about ac-
cusing Americans Of cowardice in not
having cxanted redress at once.

ST.. PAUL, Dec 1.-The most horrible
accident that ever occurred in st. Paul
took place shortly after p. m, when
the centre wall of the west section of
the Shepard building, recently occupied
by Griggs, Cooper g. Co., fell in,
burying the workmen beneath the ruins.
There were supposed to have been If
teen men beneath the wall at the time
it fell, and the majority Of them were
killed or received injuries which viii
probably prove fatal.
All the patrol wagons in the city were
at once summoned. and Chief Clark,
with Chief jackson and Assistant Chief
Martin, made an attempt to organize
the laborers who were not under the
wall and get them to work

The men were wild with excitement.
however. and it was . long time before
more than half a dozen could be induced
to 60 to work. The others ran back and
forth around the building shouting to
each other and uttering imprecations
against the contractors, or stood gazing
blankly at the ruin.
The group that went to work in less
than half an hour had taken out ten
men,
Five OF Whom Were Killed.
and five injured, one SO severely that
the physicians ON tae ground stated
that he cor j not live until he reached
the hospital. By this time a larger
gang had been pnt to work and the
work Of removing the debris went on
rapidly. Finally the contractor, Will
cor, was taken out dead and mangled
beyond recognition, his head appar-
emily mashed to pulp.
The wounded were taken to the city
hospital in the patrol wagons and the
dead, with the exception Of one man.
were laid out In the Great Northern
freight house.

A SUGGESTIVE ILLUSTRATION.

The letter which was sent to Senator Man
derson is similar in every respect save the
name of the alleged child, to those which
other Senators have regarded with SO much
satisfaction. The document is little more
than twelve inches long and about ten inches
wide. 1t is printed in the highest style of &C.
clesiastical art on calendered paper. Imag-
nary and Scriptural phrases abound. A hen
striving with an overlarge brood Of chickens
represents Mrs. Duvall with her first-born
A pelican conveying food to a nest of his off
spring is evidently Mr.. Duvall, and if his
legs are as thin as the pelican's are it is not
much wonder that one of them has been bro
ken. A serpent climbing a fruit tree and
evidently bent on getting something for his
trouble, might easily be mistaken for Mr.
Duvall as at present engaged. Surrounded by
scroll-work, square-rigged boat sails on a
sunlit sea toward rocky promontOry, on
which stands a church, and beneath this Iitl-
ographc gem is the information that Charles
Henderson Dnvall, child Of Mr. William
Duvall and his wife, Mary f. Duvall born
at Baltimore, December /, 1899, was baptized
in First E. l.. Church on the 10th day of De-
cember, 1892 The Sponsors were Emma
Duvall and Mary Jones. The officiating cler-
gyman's signature is that of Charles Ray,
pastor.
1t is not at all improbable that proceedings
will be Instituted against Mr. nuvall. not
withstanding the great size of his family and
the added disability of broken leg.

Sherman forwarded silver cup. Senator

Hale was caught for s.,
Senator Hoar was saved IRON the swindle

Squire: When the two baptismal certificates
arrived they, fell into the hands of a single
