A Fateful Building.

Minneapolis, Sept. 12.-At 5 o'clock
list evening another chapter was added
to the story Of calamities connected
with the old Tribune building, when
st; ging on the fifth story broke, hurl
ing to the basement two men who We're
working up on it, together with a cart
lead Of brcl'en bricks end debris. The
nan, who were injured so seriously
tt at at first it was thought tn " would
die in a short time, are Edward Under,
q Sca ndinavian aged twenty years and
single, who boards at 1OS East Lake
street; and Fred Budwidson, about
forty years of age. Under was taken
to the Office Of DR.. Kilvingt ON, where
it was found that his left wrist was
broken just above the Joint, that he had
received several ugly flesh cuts upon
the head, and that his skull was slightly
fractured. The crest of the right ilium,
an exterior pelvis bone, was also frac-
tured. DR.. Kilvington thinks his re-
covery will be rapid and certain. The
other victim of the accident is in a
much critical state, and small hopes
are entertained Of the recovery.

The opening argument will not be con-
Guided before tomorrow noon and it
is not probable that the case will be

ELECTION IN MAINE.
The Republican Ticket Elected by
IN Increased Majority.


Augusta, Me-, Sept. lit has been
good day for Republicans and cor
respondirgly one for the Democrats,
but the result was rot altogether I'M
foreseen To rain and general apathy
is due the light vote, and though the
Democrats admit defeat. they do not
show symptom Of discourse
The Prohibitionists and Populists are
not largely in evidence so far as re-
turns indicate. A heavy rain put
quietus upon the telegraph and tele-
phone wires, but returns have been re-
ceiyed by the Associated Press from
ever 100 cities and towns, and these in
dictate that the state has reelected
Gov. Cleaves tRep) over Charles F.
Joh1 SOL. (Dem.) by majority that will
exceed $1,000, the largest in the his
tory of the party. The Republicans
have carried every county in the state,
and it is estimated that the legislature
will have a working Republican ma
jority of 1875, which insures the re-
election Of Senator William p. Frye.
Thomas B. Reed was reelected to CON
gress by plurality of about 10000.
Nelson Dingley, Seth 81. Milligan and
Fl. Boutelle are also reelected to con-
gress by rajorities ranging from 5000
to 5000.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Drought Broken and II Fair Crop of
Late Potatoes Assured.

Drought Broken and Il Fair Crop of
Late Potatoes Assured.
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-The drouth
has been effectually broken in all parts
of the stae, except in some of the north
western counties. Pastures and
meadows have been greatly improved
and fair crop Of late potatoes in
assured, with the exemption of killing
frosts the balance Of this month. The
average condition of corn is &c PEI
cent. This indicates an average yield
Of 11.SS bushels per acre. In the
southern and central districts large
portion Of the crop is cut and the rest
is mostly beyond danger from frosts.
In the northern districts cutting is
rapidly going on, but a portion Of the
crop is still immature, and would be
materially damaged by a killing frost.
The amout of corn that WIN be this
year put into farmers cribs will be
very light, probably less than 10000, 900
bushels. But under the distress of
necessity, the large part of the fod-
der will be utilized, and this, added to
grain, will give in feeding value a to-
tai yield Of about 60 per cent Of an
average, if it is cut and cured in good
condition. Other crops are rated as
follows: Flax, IS; potatoes, 80
pastures, SO; apples, 60; grapes, SIS PEI
cent.

Soaking Rain. Are Falling.

Milwaukee, Sept 8.-The remarkable
drouth throughout the West, which
lasted for more than two months, was
effectually broken last night by a
furious rainfall. The rain area includ-
ed all Of Iowa, the northern part of
Illinois, most of Michigan and nearly
all of Wisconsin, except the north
western part. Besides that there were
isolated smaller rain areas In the far
West. Above the line Of Green Bay
the rainfall was very light, and none
ut all was reported from St Paul and
Duluth. It is feared that the forest
fire region received very little of the
rain, but the conditions are favorable
for continuance Of the rain, and that
region may get soaking tonight.

A ST. Paul, Sept. S.-The survivors Of

fought so bravely at Birch Coulie and
Wot'd Lake for the preservation Of

lam Crooks, who was in command Of
the Sixth, presided, and Capt. Stees,
secretary Of the organization, sat by
his side
As expected, the veterans got into a
very warm fight over the location Of
the Birch Coulie monument. Capt.
Stecs introduced a resolution calling for
the appointment of 4 committee to
wait upon the next legislature with a
protest against the location. Capt
Stees said he did not care what name
was inscribed on the monument as the
commanding officer, but he did object
to the shaft being placed on the Morton
fair grounds. The state, he said, had
appropriated money to purchase a mon
ument to make the spot where the men
had fought and fell, and not to beautify
fair grounds. After some further talk
a vote was taken and the resolution
was adopted on a vote of AZ to p.
