committees of white citizcns and three

the depot to the Boswell House. After
some refreshments, the visitors i'll com

ST. PAUL, Dec. 4.-The most horrible
accident that ever occurred in st. Paul
took place shortly after O'Clock to-day
When the center wall of the west section
of the Shepard building, recently occupied
by Farwell, Ozmun 6 Kirk, fell In,
burying the workmen beneath the ruins
Fifteen men are supposed to have been
beneath the wall at the time 1t fell, and
a majority of them were killed or re
celved injuries which will probably prove
fatal. All the patrol wagons in the city
were at once summond, and the police
attempted to organize laborers who were
not under the wall, get them at work
rescuing the injured. The men were
time before more than half dozen could
be induced to go 10 work. In less than
half an hour the men had taken out ten
companions, FIVE of whom were killed,
and five injured fatally. Contractor
Wilcox was taken out dead, and mangled
beyond recognition. The wounded were
removed to the hospitals.
One man was Unidentified as Chris
Larsen. Lauer, the forman of the gang,
was about the building, but frantic with
grief and excitement, and could not give
the names of any of the men though he
knew them all. Neither could he tell
the number of men under the wall at
the time it fell.
The wall was firm and gave no signs
of weakening up to the time it fell.
Most of those taken from the ruins were
badly crushed and bruised, others not SO
badly mangled but evidently had been
killed by bricks falling on their heads.
OF those wounded and taken to the hospi-
tai only two will recover.

Seeking the Cause.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-All those who
were injured by the explosion In the
building at II Broadway, yesterday, are
in a fair way to recovery. Russell Sage
has almost recovered from the shock.
The chief interest now centers about the
mysterious bomb-thrower and every effort
is being made by the police to discover
his identity. The head. of the lunatic is
at the morgue and hundreds of people
have viewed it, but no one identified it.
Inspector Byrnes had conference with
Mr.. Sage to day in reference 10 the mys
terious correspondent of the millionaire.
The inspector afterward stated to re-
porter that mysterious letter, signed by
James Walsh, may solve the mystery
surrounding the man who threw the
dynamite bomb. A few days ago MIR.
Sage received a letter signed by ne
James Walsh. In it $1,200,0O0 was
demanded. Mr. Sage is constantly in
receipt OF such letters, either begging,
blackmailing, or worse, and consequently
paid no attention to the epistle. Now
that his life has been attempted, the
singular similarity between the threats of
the bomb thrower Just before he hurled
the bomb, caused Sage to-look more care
fully into the letter, which is now in the
hands OF the police. Byrnes is hard at
work with his men on the clue. 1t was
learned this evening that 100000
cheque was missing. Mr.. Oberne, one of
Mr.. Sage's cashiers, SAYS that when he
of
get his luncheon there was cheque for
100000 lying on the desk. He does
not know what has become of 1t, though
he says it may be in the valuable rubbish
which he has collected in the boxes now
under lock and key in the Manhattan
office. The body of Clerk
Norton was removed to day to his home
in Rockaway, for burial.

The corner. stone of the new Methodist
Episcopal church was laid this morning at
half-past 10 o'clock with appropriate cere-
monies. Rey. A. G. Spencer oticiated, as
sisted by Revs. w. c. Curtis and o. D.
Taylor. In the box inclosed in the corner
stone were copies of the Bible, N Y. Aduo.
cate, Pacific AdUocdte, local papers, short
history of the church in this city, list of
preachers, of members, and the names of
the bishop and presiding elder. Mrs. Nc.
Farland, member of the church since its
oiSdniza1lou III loot, piaceu Gne DOA III the
stone. As the masons. assisted by the
reverend gentlemen put the stone in place
the choir sang the second stanza of the fa-
milIar hymn "Here I'll raise my Ebenezer,"
etc. Rev. A. c. Spencer explained that on
the outside of the stone viii be engraved
the word "Ebenezer" and the date. The
Ritualistlc service was read in unison by
Revs. Curtis and Taylor, as Mr.. Nowalk
placed the last trowel of mortar on the
stone. Although the day was cold and dis
agreeable quite a number of ladies and gen.
tlemen had congregated to witness the cere-
mony, aid after the stone was placed
in position the benediction was pronounced
by Rev. w. c. Curtis and the assemblage
dismissed.

and engines and doctors were summoned
from adjacent points. Assistant General
Super ltendent Grant, of the New York
and New England railroad, says of the
accident at East Thompson: "All we
know at present is that both trains ran
into the east botnd freight and Long
Island express before they could be
tagged. The only thing 1 can attribute
the accident to is the unusually dense
fog" East Thompson is about fifty five
miles from Boston. All the Boston hos .
pitals have been notified by the New
England road to hold themselves in
readiness to accommodate a number of
victims of the wreck. The railroad Off
Gals report many killed. One report
says the number killed is seven.

A Chicago dispatch says that the trunk
or chest which Ferdinand and Isabella of
Spain used when they visited summer re-
sorts is on its way to Chicago, consigned to
S. E. Barrett, wealthy Chicagoan, who
purchased the antiquity on a recent trip
abroad. He paid Sl00 for his treasure and
has ample proof of its genuineness. The
custom house officers refused to pass it free
OF duty, Inasmuch as the article is con-
sidered by the Mckinley law as not an
antiquity, and is therefore subject to duty.
The chest is said to be over 325 years old,
and was for several hundred years among
the royal treasures of Spain.

silver and the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Dec. cit matters not
who is elected speaker the Democrats will
be all torn up and distracted over two
other propositions. One is free silver,
and 1t Is impossible to see how the Dem
ocratlc house, no matter who is speaker,
can prevent a free coinage bill from
going through. Just what to do with the
tariff is another thing that is troubling
them. Whether to form an entire new
tariff bill, or only to pass a number of
bills changing various schedules of the
Mckinley law is puzzler. This is some
thing that will have to be fought out In
caucus. If only few schedules are to
be changed the party will be charged
with hedging upon the main question,
and. besides, each man will have his own
particular ak to grind, which he will
insist upon, to the confusion of those who
would be adroit party-mongers. On the
live questions OF the day the Democracy
Is as badly split as upon the speakership.

The Japan Earthuuake.

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 10 (via San Francisco
Dec. 6)-News of the earthquake con-
tinues to come In. Mr.. Iguchi, director
of the Gifu observatory, has been ex-
amining the district where the shock was
most severe. At this place some years
ago holes appeared in the ground, to
which no bottom could be found, and it
was believed they communicated with
immense cavities far below. Mr.. Iguchl
now believes the earthquake was caused
by the Fujiya mountains slipping into
these caverns. In the district of Orc an
lmmense landslide took place, damming
the Mana river. A lake is now forming,
which is alresdy fifty feet deep. Another
large lake is being formed in the same
way by the Asbiba river. At Nagoya
the earthquake was still going on Novem-
Der 8, 730 shocks being felt inthe twenty
preceding hours. The great want in the
earthquake regions is shelter. There is
sufficient food to prevent actual starya
ton, but over 100000 people are home
less, with almost nothing. Winter is rapid
ly approaching, and the suffering will be
very great. A section of about thirty
miles on the railroad from Toxic to
Kyoto is SO much damaged that it will
probably have to be entirely rebuilt and
will not be open again until next June.

Miners Buried In a Pit.

PARIS, Dec. ga fearful disaster is re-
ported from St. Etienne coal field, in the
southwest of France. While eighty
miners were engaged in the pit an ex-
ploslon of fire. damp caused the death of
at least sixty. The first notice that people
outside of the pit had of the disaster was
a rumblIbg sound, followed by smoke
and flames rushing from the mouth Of
the pit. So soon as possible, men
descended to the rescue, while hundreds
of women and children around the OPEN
ing shrieked and walled in agony for the
fathers and brothers below. The rescuers
are reported to have found all dead but
about twenty, who had been working
where tine explosion did not have its full
effect. The scene as the bodies were
brought up was terrible. Women fell
on the bodies of their relatives and could
not be torn away. Loud imprecations
were uttered against the officials, whose
neglect was the cause of the calamity.
The authorities are preparing to hold a
rigid Investigation, as it is claimed that
the mine had been inspected within a
few hours before the explosion and de-
clared safe to work in.

Navajo scout Killed.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Dec. THE
true facts about the murder OF Samuel
Dittenhoffer, noted scout of the Navajo
Indian country, have just been received
here, although the crime was committed
several days ago. He was not killed by
his clerk, as was at first reported, but by
COW and horse rustler named Thomas
Collins. From an eyewitness 1t is
learned that few weeks ago at Ditten
hoffer's store Collins was present, and
Sam said to him: 81 understand you
are horsethief and rustler," to which
Collins answered he was. Dlttenhnffer
then told him to keep away from his
place as it would injure his business. at
which remark Collins became offended.
On the evening of the murder Collins
went to Sans place on business and found
three men engaged in game of cards.
Collins said: "Why not have a four
he entered in the game and kept knock
ing on the table, coming very near
several times tipping the lamp over.
Dlttenhoffer had retired, but spoke to
Collins, requesting him not to make SO
much noise. Collins paid no attention
to the request, but kept pounding on the
table. Finally Dittenhoffer got up,
dressed himself, and on coming into the
room where Collins was remarked that if
there was to be row he would be in it.
A few angry words passed between him
and Collins, when Sam struck the latter
in the face. Collins, on stepping back,
pulled his revolver and fired. The bullet
struck Dittenhoffer in the left breast,
passing through the heart and resulting
In instant death. Collins left the store
with the smoking revolver in his right
hand, mounted his mustang, which was
standing hitched near the door, and rode
off. He has not been captured.
