The Columns Gave Way.

The tale of the horrible disaster in
Park Place, New York, resulting in the
death of sixty-odd human beings, is
now ended with the verdict of the jury.
The jury found that the people killed
lost their lives by the collapse of the
buildings, Nos. IS, 20, Y and "A
Park Place, caused by the Civ
ing away of the supporting columns
near the middle of the ground floor,
due to some sudden shock applied to
said columns, and not primarily due to
their apparent inherent weakness. The
Jury was unable to find whether the
breaking of these columns was due to
an explosion or not. The jury recon-
mended legislation authorizing the fire
department to periodically inspect all
buildings used for printing, manufact-
uring and storage purposes.

FIRED ON BY RUSSIANS.
Yankee Sealers Shot and Frisco
Schooner Captured in Behring Sea.

Yankee Sealers Shot and q frisco
Schooner Captured in .Behring Sea.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 1.-THE San
Francisco schooner City OF San Diego
reached here with 800 seal skins Saturday
night from Copper Island, on the Russian
side of Bchring Sea. Its commander re-
ports an evcntful trip. She was warned
off st. Paul Island the end of June,
and she made for Copper Island.
There the vessel fell in with eight other
schOoners, and all OF them together ralded
the island, catching and Skinning seals.
Over forty boats landed from the schooner
and got Off safely. The following day,
August 2, they went ashore again in COM
pany with twenty-five boats from other
SchOonerS and again started ralding. A
thick fog covered their operations, when
Volley of about forty rifle shots rang out
above them, and all made for the boats,
leaving hundreds OF dead seals on the
beach. Eight boats were struck. A
black hunter named Talbot from the
schooner Webster, jumped from the bow IN
fright and was drowned. Hunter Nalrn,
from the Annie, was shot dead before he
left the beach. All the boats got aboard
the schooner safely and lay out five miles
from shore, considerably scattered. AT
O'Clock the same evening Russian war
ship made for them, and Capt. Mclean,
Oi TIC IIdiulllOH LcNIS, Will VIC ODJSCO VI
giving the schooners time to get
away, ran straight for and dodged
the vessel. 1t was two hours
before the Russians got him, and by that
sine the other vessels had got away. The
Hamilton Lewis was toWed to the island.
All the hunters on the San Diego express
grave fears as to the probable fate of the
crew, as they say that several shots were
fired at the Russians in the skirmish that
morning, and probably some soldiers were
killed. The Alta reports that the Oscar
and Hattie were chased in Behrlng Sea by
the MOhlcan for twenty hours for the pur-
pose of warning her off. She got away
and then made back for Behnng Sea.

FEAST FOR SHARKS.
Horrible Tale by the Captain of a Cocoa
nut Schooner.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE
schooner Gen. Banning arrived from
Flent's Island yesterday with cargo of
cocoanuts. Her commander, Capt.
Spring, reports that while loading the
cargo his vessel was twice blown out to
sea by severe storms. On each occa-
sion about 100 natives were on board,
and they fastened ashore in canoes
The second time several canoes were
capsized and the occupants thrown into
the water. The water swarmed with
sharks, and many Of the natives were
torn limb from limb before they could
be picked up by other canoes. Several
islanders were dragged down. One
young fellow plunged into the water
with a long knife to save his
father. Both, however, were torn to
pieces. One young girl had almost
reached a canoe when shark seized
her by the middle and dragged her
down. Out of thirty eight people who
were thrown into the water eight were
seized by sharks and killed, and one
man had leg bitten off.
