The ice dealers of this city are at
present laying in their supply as fast

As anticipated the Schmidt local option bill
was defeated in the Iowa senate yesterday by q
vote of as yeas, % noes, the number necessary
to Q constitutional majority being &c. Every
democrat was present and voted yea. Key
nolds Crepublican) and Engle (peSple's party
were absent, but both would have voted
against the bill and the result would have been
the same. 1t has been known for some time
that the Schmidt bill would be defeated. It ID
probable, however, that new bill for local
option by counties will receive the votes of
Catch and Brewer, republicans, and if solidly
supported by democrats will pass the senate.
immediately after the defeat of the Schmidt
bill Gobble (democrat) introduced o county
option bill and Yeomans (democrat) a bill
giving local option to cities of over 600 popu-
iation. Gobble's Till will probably pass the
senate, but can hardly pass the lower house,
where no sign of weakening has been discoy-
cred among the republican members.

KILLso BY A FALLING CnIMNEr.


Fnghtfoi AeeAdsnt In Yorkshire. Resulting
In Least Eight Deaths.
The m.nufaceazing town OF Cleckheaton, in
West Riding. Yorkshire. England, was yester-
day the scene Of frishtful accident, resulting
in the loss Of a number of lives. A massive
chimney sixty yards high at Marshmilrs ma
chinery and flannel factory in tina. place col
lapsed and fell on the roof Of tho factory ius,
as number Of young women operatives were
leaving work.
The piteous cries of those caught in the ruins
could be heard. and the horror of the sc.ne
was soon augmented by the breaking out Of
fire, in which numbers Of the impSsonsd vic.
Tins were more or less burned.
''Steeplejacks." who have been occupied 70,
. week past in repairing the chimney which
fell, found it was collapsing and made their es-
cape The factory manager states that AN ex.
pert examined the foundations Of the chimney
ut 8 p. m. and declared them to be in q safe CON.
dition.
It is reported that the cause Of the disaster
was the removal of q number of defective bricks
for the purpose Of making repairs, which caused
the structure to thus become unduly weakened.
The people demand that q vigorous official in.
quiry be at once instituted into the matter and
that the blame for the disaster be placed.

Yesterday Afternoon.

the corner of baltimore and Eutaw streets, Bal
timore. yesterday afternoon, which caused the
loss OF firemans life and damage to property
estimated at about sl25, 900, besides severe but
not dangerous injury to another fireman. The
fireman whose life was lost was Leon Talbot
Tho one who escaped with severe burns was
Frank Miller. The structure in which the fire
began was one Of the finest ware houses in the
city. 1t is five stories in height, being built OF
brick and marble. The flames rapidly spread
throughout the large structure and for two
hours baffled the efforts of the fremen.
Miller and Talbot went to the fifth floor and
attempted to put out the flames with fire ex-
tinguishers. The binding clouds OF smoke
greeted them and they attempted to escape.
They were unable to see where they were go
ing, but made their way to a window on the
Baltimore street front. Miller climbed out on
ledge beneath the fifth story windows. Tai
bolt tried to follow but the smoke and flames
overcame him and he fell back in the burning
building. His body was not found until the
flames were entirely extinguished
