A High Wooden Platform at
Akron, O., Gives Way.
One Thousand People Precipita-
ted to the Ground.
WITH A LOUD CRASH.
Two Men Killed and Twenty
five Badly Injured.
Hardly Anyone Escapes Without
Some Kind Of Injury.

AKRON, o., Sept. 20-Twenty young
men were more or less seriously injured
last night by the falling OF wooden
platform between the Vagel block, South
Main street, and a building directly ia
the rear.
The announcement that the Excelsior
Athletic club would give a free enter
tainment in its hall on the third story Of
the rear building had attracted quite A
crowd to the place. The doors were not
open when the people began coming and
those who arrived early were obliged TO
stand on a wooden platform which con-
nected the two structures.
This platform was forty feet from the
ground and the strain upon it proved too
great. and with a crash that could bo
heard blocks away, it fell, carrying 1000
people with it. They were buried under
the heavy timbers several feet
Joseph Ryan, 1S. ana Patrick Casey,
21, the two men most severely injured by
the falling platform, died during the
night. The names Of the injured
are: Arthur Denaple. left leg bruken
Perry Hoffman, both legs broken; Fred
Stair, face aud head cut; Charles Shaffer,
severe cuts; Harry Miller, arm broken;
Frank Grossman, two ribs broken Isaac
Grossman, severe cuts about head: Nor
ris Grossanan. cut about the head; Charles
Royal. ancle broken, back injured;
Charles Liant, severe cuts; Arthur Holmes,
nose broken; AL lie Roy. right
leg broken; Will Hixson, right leg
broken; Ed Swenson, left ear torn
off, cuts in head, face and arms.
Frank Strauss, collar bone broken;
Duke Burns, cut about face and head
right shoulder dislocated. Charles Lloyd
left leg broken; W. Crawford, head cut.
Frank Wetzel, injured internally; Louis
Hall, two ribs broken; John Gardner,
hand broken. Frank LecI4ir, cut 0n
head and body; Frank Aubrey. injured
internally; John Weoer, nose broken;
Guy Hansel, both wrists dIslocated and
cut about head
As the doors opened the crowd made
rush and this it is believed, caused the
extra strain which the himsy platform
could not stand. Tho crowd Of sixty
were ali precipitated to the ground, 40
feet below. and those who escaped seri-
Gus injury we're more or less bruised aud
shaken up.

HE SHOOTS HIMSELF.
No Reason Known for His Des-
perate Act.
He Was an Industrious Boy of
Good Habits.

Bert Rich, white boy Is years old,
committed suicide this morning at II
o'clock, at 2O24 Buchan an street rusty
revolver was the instrument used. and
he shot himself almost squarely in the
center of the forehead.
The boy had been employed by VIM.
Sauerland at the above address, doing
odd chores. NIr. Sauerlgnd says Bert
WAS decidedly we'll behaved and indus
trious boy and he can assign no cause for
his act.
The revolver had contained two empty
cham bers and three loaded ones. There
was nobody in the house at the time, but
the neigh bOrs say they heard three sh OTIS,
two of which we're fred off in the yard
1t is presumed that the latter were fired
to ascertain if the weapon was in good
working order. Bert did not die at once,
but was still breathing but unconscious
an hour after the shooting.
AT little before noon A1rs. Sauerlaud
drove up to her gate and called for Bert
to hold the horse. Hearing no response
she hitched the horse herself and went
into the kitchen where she found the
boy lying on his back with the revolver
at his feet
The coroner was notified and the re-
mains were taken to Knights morgue.
The inquest Will b. held a d clock to-
morrow morning.
Bert Rich did not know a great deal of
his own history, except thai his father
died when he was baby and his mother
died when he was somewhere between
the age Of four and seven. He worked
at the state reform school for time, vol
UNFAIRLY. for his board.
His employer, Mr.. Sauerland, is a me-
chanic, emDlOyed in the Santa Fe shops.

Letter Carriers Continue Their Row over

Letter Carriers Continue Their Row over
Chairman Powers Conduct.
CLEVELAND. Sept 29.-At the conven-
ton of national letter carriers today, the
morning was devoted to hearing charges
against Chairman J. G. Powers, of
the legislative committee. There was
another exciting scene when the matter
was brought up and the presiding OIL
Ger found it almost impossible to main
tain order
All efforts to secure some action
on the charges proved futile up
TO the noon recess, and there
was d we'll defined feeling that
Powers would ultimately be vindicated.
The specific charges against him were
laziness, neglect of duty aud misconduct.
AThe evidence is so vague said Presi :
dent Armour, 'sthat it is almost impossi-
bic to give any shape to them"

Since July.
New YORK. Sept. 20-The wheat mar

December sold off to 5S7s against 591<.
the previous lowest record made last
July. Cash wheat was a little above the
lowest point being sustained by the ac-

account.
Export traders have bought close to a
million bushels here this week, while
the mills have taken 10000 bushels
Notwithstanding this demand, however,
options have declined, local bears ham

growing among those who know some
thing Of the inside workings of the
whisky trust that a crisis is rapidly ap-
proaching and that some Of its officers

is strengthened by the presence here of

to make an investigation Of the safety of
