THREE LOST THEIR LIVES
4 FOUR PBNEMRNT BLOCK NBAR
 PROVIDENCE COLLAPSED.

Et Resulted in the Death of Three Persons
 and the Injury Ofseven Others Who Had l Narrow EscaPes-Caused by the Frail i Supports Giving Away.
 l Providence, R. l., May H.-By the
 collapse of a four-tenemsnt block at Jericho, this afternoon, three persons
 were killed and seven othens, who were more or less severely injured, nar- rowly escaped a similar fate. The vic- tirns of the catastrophe were; Mrs. Hermoine Guiotin, a Preach Canadian woman, aged tifty-four. Asa G. Aldrich, carpenter, aged about fffty-five years. Alice Lemoine, a child of two aud a haR years.
 The injured were: MrS Joseph Le- molna Mrs. Louis Lemnine, George Rlcard, A. Mason, a boy named Val- Here, Damase GoSSelins a lad of nine years, Joseph Lemoine, owner of the building, and his grandson, lad of nine years, who was the most seriously injured of the survivors, has leg having been broken at the thigh.
 The building was a two-story frame structure, with basement and attic, ad- joining the French Catholic church on Quidnfc street. It was owned by Joseph Lernoine, a man of eighty-six years, who with his sons, Frank ana Louis, and Several workmen have been engaged for several weeks in turn ing around and raising the building to fit the basement for business pur- poses.
 The building originally stood with its gable end towards the street, but in order to utilize a greater frontage 1t was moved about with it's side parallel with the street.
 Charles Poole had the work of rais- ing and moving the building in charge and until to-day it stood on the block ing used by Poole and hfs men. Joseph Lenoine, who is a carpenter, super intended the remodeHiug of the base ment himself
 To-day having got the studding and corner posts in position between the sill and the elevated building he had Poole remove the blocking. It was re- ported after the accident that Poole had advised against removing the blocking until the basement story had been boarded in, but the blocking was re- moved, leaving the building supported only by the underpinning in the rear and on the other three sides by the stilt-like supports formed by the stud ding. Several carpenters were at work during the afternoon and probably jarred by the pounding of the ham, mers the frail supports gave way under their top-heavy load and without a moments warning the building fell, burying the workmen, the occupants of the tenements and a couple of school boys who were passing.

IT IS A BIG COMBINATION
PHILADELPHIA & READING STOCK
 BOUGHT BY fl SYNDICATE.

It is Part of Q Scheme to Control the An-
 thracite Coal Trade-The Vanderbilts and
 the First National Bank of New York
 Said to be the Chief Figures in tho Com
 bnatiOn.
 New York, May H.-According to the best obtainabls information majority of the stock of the Philadelphia and Reading has been bought in the stock market for a combination of capitalists. It is stated that the acquisition of the stock began a month ago and that at the close of business to-day the pur- chase aggregated 500,OOO to S0O,O00 shares. The purchase is part of a scheme to control the anthracite coal trade. The Vanderbilts and the First National bank party are the chief fig ures in the combination The bank party is made up of President Baker and Vice President Fahnestock, Pres ident Maxwell of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and other large capita1- ists.
 The First National bank party secur- ed the New Jersey Central railroad some five years ago. Two years ago they allied themselves with the Van derbilts in gaining control of the Dela- ware I-acllawanna and Western. The Vander'bilts last year got control of the Delaware and Hudson Canal. The an- thracite tonnage of all lines in 1894 was 42657,029 and the four roads which the syndicate dominates had 5452 per cent. of the entire tonnage. J. Pierpont Mor- gan, the banker and financier of the Vanderbilts, is all powerful in the New York, Lake Erie and Western and it will join the syndicate. It also controls the Erie and Wyoming Valley road. The Pennsylvania road will be brought in by DreKel & Co. of Fhtla- delpfia, who handle the roads fiuan- cial undertakings and with whom MT. Morgan is connected. The VanderbilGs have an actual contract with the Penn sylvania, by which they agree to pro tect and promote each others interests. The Lehigh Valley and other roads will be glad to join tine program of the syndicate, for they will profit by it pecuniarily. The financial reorganiza- tion of the Reading, 1t is announced, is to follow in short order.
 About $22, ,O0O, 900 is needed to put the company on a sound financial basis. Twenty per cent.-$10 a share on the stock, and S2O0 on each $1,0O0 bond would yield over $21, ,O00,00O. The com bination will underwrite a financial scheme, will pay the assessments of those who refuse to do so and will take general mortgage or income bonds, which would otherwise go to stock and bondholders to repay them for their contributions.
 It Is stated that an advance of fifty cents per ton in the price of anthracite coal to middlemen could be made by the companies without increasing the cost of consumers. This would add about s2,00O. 900 per year to the revenue of the companies. When MT, Mcleod then president, made his great deal three years ago by which he put under one management the Reading, Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and New Eng land roads his program was upset by the courts because 1t conf1icted with Pennsylvania and New Jersey laws. The combination which has been buy ing Reading stock has formulated it's plans so as to avoid trouble of this kind.

A GAME OF NiilCPlNS.
A Munchausenlike Story of Beheaded
German Criminal.

German Criminal.
In All imperial city lately a criminal
was condemned to be beheaded who had
singular itching to play at n.neF Us.
While his sentence was prOnOuncjng he
had the temerity to offer request to
be permitted to play once more at his
favorite game at the place of execution,
and then he said he would submit
without a murmur.
AS the last prayer of dying man
his request was granted. When arrived
at the solemn spot he found everything
prepared, the pins being set up and the
bowl ready. He played with no little
earnestness, but the sheriff at length,
seeing that he showed no inclination to
desist, privately ordered the executioner
to strike the fatal blow as he stopped
for the bowl.
The executioner did so, and the
head dropped into the culprit's hand as
he raised himself to see what had Oc
Cured. He Immediately aimed at the
nine, conceiving that it was the bowl
which he grasped. All nine falling the
head loudly exclaimed, Il have won
the game Prom the German.
