The Associated Press Daily Worlds Fair Special
CHICAGO, June 9.-To the great dis
may of few self-styled aristocrats'apd
to the extreme delight Of the people Of
Chicago in general and the thousands OF
visitors, Eulalia, the inianta OF Spain,
went to the Worlds Fair to-day with
out anymilitary escort and without any
OF the fussy ceremony that ROYALTY arc
usually supposed to require. The dem,
ocratic little princess was accompanied
by three or four Of her friends and she
laughed and had fun and enjoyed the
sights Just as any sensible American
young woman would.
Commander and Mrs. Davis aud Mrs.
j. l., NJ. Curry, wife OF the eX'minister
to Spain, were the original party, but
rs they we're about 10 start Hobart
Chatfeld. Taylor aud his wife came in
and they were invited to join the merry
making,
The princess said she wanted to see
tho sights OF Midway Plaisance, OF
which she had heard so much. She
had her way, and up\the plaisance they
went, unheralded and unattended,
After walking to the extreme west
end OF the plaisanCe the princess want
ed to ride In one OF the rolling chairs,
and chairs were procured for all the la
dies Of the party. The party then visit
cd tho Chinese theatre and the Egyptian
temple, and as they were about to leave
the plaisance they entered tho Irish
village. Eulalie listened with delight
to Miss Sullivan perform Irish melodies
ON the harp Of Erin's isle, and APP
plauded the performances generously at
its close.
When it came time to 20 back to the
hotel, the princess was 10th to leave.
She declared she had never had bet
ter time in her life. Tomorrow she
will again visit tho fair, but this time it
will DO a ceremonious visit and there
will be bands Of music to greet her and
dignihed committees to meet her.

to such an extent that the walls gave
way before they could be lacked. This
explanation OF the accident is the only
one advanced, but it seems somewhat
strange in vi9w Of the fact that the top
floor gavo way first. Men who wero in
the building say the crash came with.

were suddenly precipiEatGd to the floor

and furniture carried the second and
first floors with it. Fortunately only
the forward half OF the floors gave way.
Tho outer ends OF the floors and the
rear part OF the structure remained in
tact. The walls did not fall,
WORK OF RESCUE.
A general FIRE alarm was turned in a
few minutes after the crash, and then
all tho ambulances in tho city were
summoned, As quickly as possible tho
police and fremen formed reserve
brigade, and ready hands assisted them
to take out the killed and wounded. In
less than an hour about twenty-five
people had been taken out, aud every
few minutes thereafter some still form
would be borne on stretcher from tho
building. Police and army ambulances,
cabs, carriages and vehicles Of overy
description woro pressed into service
for carrying away tho dead and injured.
All tho hospitals in the city were util.
lied in caring for the injured, and scores
OF physicians volunteered their services
for this work.
Both tho military and naval author
tiles took prompt aCtion. General scho-
iield ordered two troops OF cavalry from
Fort Meyor, Just across tho river, and
two companies OF infantry from the
arsenal to the sceno OF tho disaster.
Tho secretary OF tho navy ordered out
all the naval medical officers stationed
hOro, and also oponed tho naval hos
pital to receive tho injured.

New BEDFoRD, MASS, June 0,-Miss
Borden this morning did not watch the
testimony carefully, but was much in
terested in Adams examination OF pre-
vious testimony and tine inspection OF
several law books' Robinson made q
skilful and long examination OF Officer
Fleet and disclosed tho fact that the
other hatchets than 1.-The handless
hatchet were found in the box by the
chimney, and that there were piles OF
ashes in the room.
Tho handless hatchet was found on
the witness's second visit to tho cellar
on the day OF the murder. Witness
also admitted that tho search in the
house that day was not very thorough.
officer Harrington was next called.
During his testimony as to the condi.
tion Of the bodies, the prisoner looked
down and nervously fingered her black
fan. He testified that the prisoner
said she Loft her father reading paper
and after twenty minutes found him
dead and that she said the motive was
not robbery, as everything was right
about tho house.
Officer Harrington also testified that
the prisoner was not in tears during
the interview on the day OF the murder,
and that she was very positive Us to the
oxact time she was in the barn.
The only matter OF importance
brought out at the opening OF the after
noon session was the fact that the
broken part OF the handle OF tho small
hatchet which was missing was seen by
Officer Mullaney and the government
proiessed ignorance OF the piece Null
laney said Fleet found it and put 1t
back with the hatchet.
During Fleets testimony he never re.
ferred to the matter and considerable
surprise was felt and expressed. Fleet
was recalled and examined. although
the government objected. He said he
mover saw anything there in the nature
OF u piece OF handle with fresh break
in 1t. A sensation was caused by this
testimony.
District Attorney Knowlton, on being
asked for this extra piece of handle
said he did not have it, and this was
the first time he had ever heard OF it.
Mr. Knowton said he desired to have
some one sent to Fall River to the
Borden house to see if this piece Of
wood referred to above was in the box;
all he wanted was justice
"ThaPs all We. want" said Governor
Robinson.
"Well, you have not any objection to
our sending an officer there to see about

said Gov. Robinson, "and we will pass

The court decided 1t was not necessary
to proceed any further just now.

called to my companions TO follow.
Those who were right near mo did so
aud We gained safe place at the rear
OF the building near the windows. We
were completely isolated, however, with
no way to got down. The floor had
sunk beneath US in front and the build.
ing was still trembling from the shock.
We did not know what minute the rear
OF the structure would go down and
stood there almost frantic. Then l
thought OF reel OF fire hose that
knew was near. We CROPPED through
the dust to this and quickly unwound
II until tho end touched the ground.
Then caught mold Of the hose and slid
down II, alighting safely on tho
ground"
OTHER ESCAPES
Five minutes later, and ]. r. Imbrie
the Pennsylvania chief in charge OF the
second floor, would have gone down
with tho wreck. He had desk in the
shattered area and also ono in the rear
OF tho room. He had bcen at the
former place and then came back to
the other desk, and in about five min.
utes tho crash was heard. Then u si-
lence followed, and Mr.. Imbrio said he
heard no sound. Herushed toward tho
rear windows and found mon jumping
out. Several had mado the perilous
leap, but ho supposes that they foil ON
the awning over tho lower door, thus
breaking their fall.
Another narrow escape is found in
tho experience OF ]. D. Nevins, OF
Texas, whose desk was located In tho
fallen section OF tho fallen floor. Ho
had gone to tho third floor on some
errand and returned and had entered
the door and was about TO 70 to his
desk whom tho crash came and ho
stepped bNck. One minute moro and
ho would have gone down with the rest.

wildly climbing out and calling for aid,
he climbed up large telegraph pole as
high as the third story and lashed q
ladder to the pole, putting the other
end in tho window. By this means
ten or fifteen wero assisted down tho
ladder in safety.
The question OF the responsibility Of
the accident Is OF course already
earnestly discussed Assistant secre-
tary Grant was one Of the first officials
to visit the scene Of the disaster, and
Immediately gave orders by telephone
and mounted messengers to the officers
OF the department To render all possible
aid. General Grant said to a reporter,
speaking under pressure OF great emo
ton:
~ am appalled, at the magnitude Of
the disaster, 1t is impossible for inc to
say anything as to tho cause OF the acci-
dent, for know nothing of the oondl-
ton of the building"
No women were employed in the
building, but in few minutes after the
crash came the wives, mothers and
daughters OF the victims began to ar
rive. Within very few moments
hundred or more men stripped for hot
work jumped into the building and be-
gan throwing out the wreckage in front
OF and under the floors which remained
standing on the rear. Most OF those in
the ruins were carried to the emergency
hospital.
BRAVE oLERaYMEN.
Anincident OF tho day was the num-
Der OF clorEymeu who on hearing OF the
disaster hocked to the scene. Utterly
regardless OF their own safety, they en-.
tered the building, the rear walls Of
which were warningly bulging out, and
ministered to the dying and injured,
Ministers OF all creeds were present.
The hair breadth escapes narrated by
the survivors were numberless. One
OF the most thrilling scenes OF the
whole affair was the sight OF dozen
men who were left in corner OF the
third story Clambering down hose
pipe to tho ground. Ono OF these men
and the first to get down was Mr.. Il.
Bair, who worked in the centre OF tho
third floor The story can best be told
in his own words;
~ was at my DESK" he said, "when l
heard q great roar There was no pre-.
monitory trembling or any kind OF
