The Greater New-York bill was beaten In the
Senate yesterday by vote Of II to Is. This
fact and an examination OF the detailed vote
furnish evidence Of the deal which was reported
yesterday TO be In progress for the defeat both
of this measure and Of the Police Reorganization
BILL After the vote had been taken the usual
course was followed, and the bill now lies on the
table with possibility that 1t may be recon
sidered hereafter. Apparently II could have been
passed yesterday. In spite Of the DEAL II Senator
Lexow or Senator O'Connor had been willing to
accept the provision permitting the referendum
in reference to the charter to be prepared by the
proposed commission. The Senate may have an
other chance to act on the measure In case 1t Is
passed by the Assembly. but the prospects OF Its
enactment. II must be admitted, are not brilliant
at present.

Gle board of trade. The ban of suspen-
sion under which Titus, Babanne and
Murphy have been squirming since last
Saturday was lifted to-day pending the
inquiry that is to be made into the re-
cent "jobs" at the Pastime track, and
the three men will be suffered to ride
until their innocence or guilt Is thor.
oughly established. The chairman,
however, did not yield to the demand
made upon him without stipulating that
all prizes won by the trio should be pre-
sented pending decision in the case.

Employees of the Providence Gas Com
pany Killed.
Providence, II. l., Sept. Alive en-
ployes of the Providence Gas Company
went to their death in the cellar Of
the Westtield Street gas holder about
1 80 o'clock this afternoon, asphyxi-
ated by gas.
The accident was a peculiar one. For
several days leaking gas has been de-
tected In the holder and to-day the com
pany sent six men and a foreman to
repair the leak which proved to come
from the defective valve connecting the
four-inch main, which supplies the
Westfield Street holder with gas from
the main holder on Globe Street. The
men had just returned from dinner at
1 o'clock and, going down the wooden
stairs which led from the entrance
from the holder to the cellar below, be-
gan to work on n broken valve. They
disconnected it and tied cloth bag
about the large main extending in front
of the street, when the bag gave way
and an immense volume of gas rushed
out. In less time than 1t takes to tell
it all were overcome with the exception
of one who managed to grope up to thu
stairs where the fresh air enabled him
to recover sufficiently to reach the
street.

They Adopt Resolutions on the Eight
Hour Law
Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-The delegates
to the convention of the National asso-
citation of Letter Carriers entered upon
their second days session this morning,
400 being present. The report OF the
committee on resolutions was as fol
lows:
"While heartily approving the pro-
posed amendment, we do not consider
it advisable at this time to interfere
with the eight-hour law, but we do rec
ommend that the national association
require the department as far as posi-
bic, to have the schedule for carriers
made consecutive when possible"
The question of the equalization Of
salaries provoked much debate. The
Dunpry bill, which will increase first
class carriers to $1,000, and second to
$1,000, was fully discussed.
The committee on credentials report
ed as follows: Branches represented by
delegates. 162; delegates in attendance,
$50; officers In attendance, 20; repre-
sented by proxy. $50; total vote of the

BURIED IN A MASS OF RUINS
Shocking Accident. at tho Illinois State
Fair Grounds.

Fair Grounds.
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept 5.-A horrible
accident occurred at the state fair
grounds this afternoon. The west tow.
er on the great machinery hall, which
Is now being rooted, collapsed and fell
in, burying several men beneath its
ruins. Charles Hobson and James Bar
ker, both plumbers of Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, who were at work on the ground
floor were killed. They We're covered
with several tons Of brick and mortar.
The injured are:
Fred Berd, carpenter. badly
mashed.
N. Williamson, a carpenter, both an
kles broken.
Samuel Davenport Of Chicago, boss
carpenter, badly injured about the back
by falling debris.
John Gethard, a carpenter, cash cut
in the head; will probably recover
Charles Brownell, water carrier, both
legs and both arms broken: also badly
burned by mortar and fearfully lacerat-
ed; will die.
Neither the building nor the tower
was braced, but whether this caused
the accident is not known. 1t was the
general opinion that the hard rain last
night loosened the mortar, which had
no time to dry, work having been
rushed on the building in order to have
1t completed in time for the fair, and
that this caused the accident. The loss
will amount to several thousand dol
lars.
James Clancy, slater, fell from the
roof into a mortar bed, striking on his
head, but escaped with a few bruises.
All of the imprisoned men had been
gotten out by nine o'clock. Several
were uninjured.

Thousand Dollars.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 7.-Masonic tenn
pie, one of the finest Masonic buildings
in the United States. was entirely de-
stroyed by fire this morning. The
building was magnificently furnished
and the loss will probably reach $780,
OOO
The fire was discovered by passer-
by at 1905, and a few moments later an
alarm was given from box SO, noted rs
being located In one of the most dan
gerous fire districts in the city.
At almost the same time an alarm
was sent in from box - in the Parker
House, and all the fire apparatus down
town hurried to the scene Of the fire
The blaze proved to be trivial, but the
confusion resulting from the almost
simultaneous alarms gave the fire in
the temple a great start before the ap-
paratus appeared.
District Chief Reagan, who was on
top Of the tower on the fremont street
side Of the building, found tho flames
curling up around him and was forced
to jump to the roof, almost twenty feet
below. He escaped uninjured. About
the same time, tube on chemical en-
g1ne No. 2 exploded, and Lieutenant
Madden, who was working the engine,
was thrown to the ground and probably
fatally injured. He struck on his head,
and it Is believed his skull was frac-
tured.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 4.-Samuel An
drews, machinist of this city, claims
to have perfected war balloon which
he sold to syndicate of New York
Cubans for use in the aid of the Cuban
insurgents.
The balloon has been tested in the
fields and is said to work perfectly.
instead Of the ordinary carriage fitted
with an armored box from which a
number of bombs can be suspended, the
bombs are ignited and released by auto
matte machinery in the box, after all
are discharged the box explodes, de-
stroying the balloon. The machinery
is worked by steel spring. Andrews
claims to have device by which he
can control the direction OF the balloon.

F.vor.b,e to Mi.slnn,r,e..

New York. Sept. 5.-R. f. Speer, sec
retary of the Board of Foreign Missions
of the Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed States. received a letter to-day from
Rev. 1. w. Houston of Marking, China,
dated July IL. The letter contains a
copy of the proclamation issued by Ii
Hung Chang. the viceroy, which not
only requires the Chinese to refrain
from molesting missionaries but speaks
in terms of praise of the work done by
them.
Mr.. Speer says the proclamation illus
trates the folly of forming judgment of
the whole of China from conditions ex-
isting in one section, and 1t is more
significant because Marking has always
been q more or less turbulent center.

Tho Big Advance Kills the TIn-PIste In
dusiry.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE tin
plate manufacturers in this city say that
the big advance in the price of steel has
killed the tin plate industry, and that
In a few months every mill in the coun-
try turning out that product will be
closed.
J. w. Britton, president Of the Brit
ton Tin Plate works, said to-day:
There is in the neigbborhood Of $1O,-
100000 invested in the 1877 mills at
present operating in this country, and
from 27,OOO to 10000 men are en-
ployed. In four months from now not
one Of the mills will be running. The
last spring tin plate bar was selling at
$3.50 per ton. At that price we were
able to make a little money. To-day tin
plate bar cannot be bought for less than
$2S per ton. None is being offered for
sale, however, as there is no market
for It."
H. F. Mcintosh, president of the Cres
cent tin plate mill, spoke in a similar
strain. He said the price of the pla.e
would have to be raised in order -
make any profit. but the general trouble
is that this would let in foreign manu-
factures.

A SENSATION IN BUTTE.
Warrants Issued for Two Ex-City or
Hcials.

Hclals.
Butte, Mont. Sept IA profound
sensation was caused in Butte tonight
by the issuance at the instance Of the
county attorney for warrants for the ar
rest of several men in high standing
connected with the last city admins
tration, charging them with the forgery
of city warrants on different funds. AL
though three warrants of arrest have
been issued the police so far have at
tempted to serve only those on eX-City
Clerk Perrin l. Irwin, and his assistant,
P. L. Miller. Up to a late hour they
have not been found. They are believed
to have fled and kilograms for their ap
prehension have been sent out. The ar
rest may result in far-reaching and
startling disclosures and the names on
the warrants of arrest indicate that few
men connected with the late admins
tration will escape being drawn into
the scandal that will result. The sui
eide of ex-Treasurer Jacobs, several
months ago, who was short about $780,
900 in his accounts, resulted in an inves-
tigation out of which the present dis
closures grew. 1t is claimed there was
conspiracy In which many officials
were involved and that fictitious war
rants were drawn and cashed, aggre-
eating many thousand dollars, the pro-
scouting officers claiming 1t will amount
to from $4,000 to 100000.
