Park Place Disaster.

New YORK, Sept. 10.-The tale Of tho
horrible disaster in Park Place, resulting
IN the death of sixty odd human beings,
is now ended with the verdict of the jury
1t found that the people killed lost their
lives by the collapse of the buildings,
caused by the giving way of the support
ing iron columns near the middle of the
ground floor, due to some sudden shock
marily 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
recommended legislation authorizing the
fire department to periodically inspect
all buildings used for printing, manu-
featuring and storage purposes.

Hello! Hanch, old boy! How do you

Mr.. Farrell assures us that there is not
the least possible chance for him to be
mistaken, as he knows Hanchette as well
as he does his brother. Hanchette looks
Just the same as he did before leaving Los
Angeles. His only disguise is change

harsh, gutteral vocaliZation.
Hanchette has several aliases which he
uses, and, besides the name of Hamilton.
he has given three or four names in this
city. Mr.. Hanchette says he is bound for
the Pine Nut mining country.

A BLooDTHIRsTY MINISTER.
He Advises His Flock to Extermfnate

MEMPHIS fTenn.), Sept. 10.-Rev. Tay-
lor s. Nightingale, pastor of the largest
colored Baptist Church in the United
States, created a decided sensation by
advising his flock to arm themselves with
Winchesters for the purpose of extermi-
mating the whites. Those who know
what influence the average negro
preacher has over his people will appre-
ciate the effect of such advice. A large
number of his people actually adopted
his advice and have purchased repeating
rifles.
Another faction of the better element
opposed him, however, and for opposing
him the pastor excommunicated this fac
ton, and at a church meeting last night
those who belonged to it were ordered to
leave. Not going quickly enough, the
pastor and his supporters attempted to
eject them and rough-and-tumblef free
fight took place. A dozen or more of
each faction have been arrested on war
rants and the fight wakes bitter. The
minister will be handled by the Grand

To-day one of the political features of

Der of the British Parliament receives no
