Almost Il Fatal Accident,

CHICAGO, May 2O.-A disastrous acc,-
dent to-day marred the close of the great
congress of women, a section of flooring
twenty by thirty feet in extent, forming
the entrance to Washington hall in the
art institute, suddenly gave way and
fell to the ground, a distance of twelve
feet.
Seventy-fve panic.stricken women fell
in a mass of struggling humanity and
cries of thousands of women already as
sembled contributed to the excitement
that followed. The cries of pain and
terror arose and from the collapsed Sec
ton of the building came most exag-
grated reports Of the many persons killed
or injured. After scores of people
rushed to rescue and nearly four score
of women had been extricated. it was
found that eight persons had been
seriously injured, but none of them
fatally.
The cause of the accident apparently
was the fact that the floor was weakened
by the continual passing of thousand of
people and the supports of the floor
gave way.

where, in behalf of the First Minnesota
regiment, he superintendent the placing
of the foundation for the monument
commemorative of the noble work of that
regiment on the field, which will be
dedicated on July . by Gov. Nelson and
staff. The large monument consists of
a pedestal 35 feet tall and 16xlS feet
across. On the sides of this are bronze
tablets giving the history of the regi.
ment, together with an emblematic
battle scene in bronze. The pedestal is
surmounted by Il bronze statue . feet
high, representing a soldier rushing
into conflict. The monument is located
on Hancock avcnu midway between
Bloody Angle and Little Round Top.
The little monument or marker is
located between High Water Mark and
Bloody Angle, and has IN it an ,nscrip.
tion referring to the main monu,
ment. The charge made by the First
Minnesota on the spot where the figure
of the advancing soldier in bronze now
stands is n of historic interest, as the
loss of men during the time OF the en-
gagement was greater in proportion to
the number of men in the regiment
than in any battle ever fought Of which
q record has been kept.
