stances pointed so strongly against him
that he was arrested and lodged in jail to

A CHIMNEY'S COLLAPSE

Crushes Out a Number of Lives in = Fork
shire Town-The Ruin Takes Fire-Girl
Factory Operatives Are Caught-Eight
Bodies Recovered.
LONDON, Feb. 24-The manufacturing
town of Cleekheaton, in West Riding, York
shire, was to-day the scene of frightful ac-
cident, resulting in the loss of number of
lives. A massive chimney 60 yards high,
at Marshmills machinery and flannel factory,
collapsed and fell on the roof of the factory
just as a number of young women opera
tives were leaving work. The piteous
cries of those caught in the ruins could be
heard, and the horror of the scene was soon
augmented by the breaking out of fire, in
which numbers of the imprisoned victims
were burned.
The humber already extricated includes
eight killed and many injured by having
limbs crushed. Five of those who were in
the building at the time of the disaster are
still missing, and are not likely to be ex-
tricated before morning. The "steeple
jacks" who have been occupied for a week
past in repairing the chimney which fell,
found it was collapsing and made their es-
cape. The factory manager states that an
expert examined the foundations of the
chimney at 3 P. NJ. and declared them to be
safe.
1t is reported that the cause of the dis
aster was the removal of number of defec-
tive bricks in making repairs, which caused
the structure TO become unduly weakened.
The people demand that vigorous official
inquiry be at once instituted in the matter,
and that the blame for the catastrophe be
placed in the proper quarter, and the persons
found to be responsible for the accident be
held to the strictest accountability.

They Rehsht Old Battles and Talk Some
Politics.
A lively party of comrades from brigadier
general to the high private gathered in the
lobby of the Seventh Avenue Hotel last
night. An occasional empty sleeve or a
wooden leg marked the unfortunate owner
as the hero of some struggle, and all
united in good naturedly' correcting
military history and refghting the
battles of the late war. Besides
being patriots the veterans are politicians
and all evidenced marked interest in the
appointment to be made by Governor Patti
son to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Adiutant General McClelland.
Colonel Magee, of the Eighth Regiment,
Colonel Greenland, General Guthrie, Gen
eral Goblin, Colonel Bates and others dis
cussed the coming Adjutant General
with some enthusiasm. Guthrie, Magee and
Greenland are candidates for the place, and
General Goblin is candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor. He
rather chilled his companions by assuring
them that recently Secretary Harrity told
him that Colonel Streetor, of Wash
ington county, would be appointed
Adjutant General. Colonel Magee ad-
mitted that his chances were slim.
He said the appointment would likely go
to the Western end of the State unless the
fight between the Western candidates
would become so hot that an Eastern man
would be chosen as compromise.
