WRECK OF A COLOSSEUM,
A Monster Chicago Stru cture
Borne Down by Its Own
Weight.
WatChmen Warned by Crashing
Iron in Time TO Make Their
Escape.

CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. N.-The Colosseum
building, great open structure, which was
being erected by the Chicago Exhibition
Company on the block bounded by Hope
and Stony Island avenues and Sixty-second
and Sixty-third streets. was wrecked to-
night at II 80 by the collapse of the iron
roof. If the disaster to the building had
occurred little earlier there would have
been great loss of life, as over fifty
men had just quit work for the night.
They had been installing the arc electric
lights for the opening of the big show
building with the Barnum d Bailey show.
So far as known there was no one killed by
the accident.
Several watchmen had made their
rounds Of the interior and were standing
under the walls, which are unusually low
for the size of the building. They hap
pened to be on the street side, and when
the crashing superstructure of iron gave
warning of danger they had plenty OF time
to rush to place of safety. When the
massive arches of iron began to break
loose from their fastenings on the four
sides of the structure, the strain was too
much for the thin, low walls of pressed
brick. With deafening sound the mass
OF iron carried with 1t the four walls in a
chaotic heap toward the center, and the
work of destruction was complete.
The cost of the colosseum was to be s225,-
600, and as it was nearing completion for
the opening show the loss is believed to be
nearly 100000. Everything was being
done in a hurry to keep the opening date,
and only last week three workmen. met
death when engaged on the superstructurs.
Two of the iron-workers fell 150 feet from a
beam while placing bolts in an iron arch.

Judge McKenna of the Northern District
OF California in the same category with ex-
Senator Ransom--that of having been ap-
pointed while a member of Congress to an
office created in the term for which he was
elected-have no foundation whatever. He
was appointed March II, 1892, while serv-
inc as representative from the San Fran
cisco district to succeed the late Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer, who died September z,
1891.
The report doubtless had its origin in
the confusion of the appointment of Judge
McKenna with that of Judge Gilbert at the
same time, to be an additional Judge of
the Circuit Court, as provided for in the
act establishing the Circuit Court of APP
peals. But if Judge McKenna had been
named the additional Judge the appoint
ment would not have been obnoxious to
the constitutional prohibition for the rea-
son that the Court of Appeals act was
passed by the fifty-first Congress and he
was member of the fftv-second Congress
when the appointment was made.

Spain may regard as bordering on an ex-

LARGE SUMS MIsAPPLIED.
A Deficit That May Reach
Hundreds of Thousands
of Dollars.
HIS STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
The Venerable Keeper Of the Books
Denies the Charges Against
Him.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 21.-A special
to morning paper from Washington says:
The thousands of friends and admirers
of Ainsworth R. Spofford, the venerable
librarian of Congress. will learn with pain
that his financial affairs as librarian of
Congress and chief of the Copyright Blu
reau are in an inextricable tangle, and that
his shortage to the Government is at least
$35, OOC. The real amount is probably above
that sum, but can never be definitely as
certained on account of the destruction of
the librarians account-books and his fall
ure to keep anything approximating cor
rect record of receipts and disbursements.
The detailed report of Treasury Expert
Myers of the Fifth Auditors office, who
has been investigating his accounts, has
shown so serious condition OF affairs
that Secretary Carlisle has laid it before
the President for action. Accompanying
the report Secretary Carlisle has sent a
letter to President Cleveland giving his
opinion of the startling developments in
language so vigorous and denunclatory
that treasury officials who were aware of
it have been daily expecting to hear of the
dismissal of Mr.. Spofford.
The report of Expert Myers shows that
treasury funds have been misappropri-
ated; that thousands, possibly hundreds
of thousands of dollars, have been lost or
wrongfully disposed of and that false and
fraudulent vouchers have been presented
at the Treasury Department by Mr..
Spofford for payment.
Mr.. Spofford was shown the statements
regarding his accounts and made the fol-
lowing statement:
'In matter involving so many particu-
lars, both of misstatements and distortion of
facts, it can only be said that this is not
the first time, nor is it likely to be the last,
that a public official has been held up to
odium for offenses not committed.
Stripped of all sensational statements,
the whole matter rests upon an admitted
confusion of accounts, growing out of the
extreme pressure constantly upon. the
| librarian in his double Office as librarian of
Congress and Registrar of Copyrights to
the whole country. This neglect has been
owing to the fact that while the ally and
! onerous business of deciding upon and
issuing copyrights and the almost inces-
SAINT demands upon the librarian for infor-
| nation by Congress.

the treatment of the most serious chronic cases.
The Human Magnets are the only living expo
nents of animal magnetism who publicly demon
strate the wonderful power it has over disease
when properly developed and scientifically applied.
A twofold purpose prompts DR.. Bryant in giving
these free public exhibitions to the public First,
as rapid and more satisfactory manner OF intro
ducng this modern treatment to the sick and suf-
fering Of California and next because of his char
table disposition and Humanitarian views, desir.
GUS of extending charity to the afflicted wherever
possible.
By this marvellous power and gift Of healing
possessed by the Human Magnets, combined with
the famous Magnetized Remedies used by d.. Bry-
ant there have been cured the deaf. blind and
lame and ell diseases of the throat lungs, heart,
liver and kidneys and nervous system Vitalizlng

are especially successful in all forms OF paralysis,

were in horrible state OF decomposition,
and friends of both men are still doubtful
as to their identity.
The ruins wers fired to-day in hopes OF
reducing the dangerous walls to the
ground, but the fire gained such Roadway
that the entire fire department was called
out to quench the flames. The work OF
recovery progresses slowly, and what
bodies remain in the wreck must be partly

orders from Washington that are almost
of a sensational nature. The navy-yard
officials have been ordered to have the ves-

fact that the Mora claim has been an

coup in Cuban waters. The Boston is to
prepare for three years. cruise, and the
consensus of opinion at the yard. is that
the prov of the vessel will be pointed to-
ward the Horn when the order to move is
given.
The department appears suddenly very
anxious for the Boston. Some 100
men, who have been gathered at
the receiving ship Independence by
transfers from the Olympia and re-
cruiting, have been held back, although
it was understood the first complement
gathered together would be utilized for the
Marion, which has laid for nine months
past in the stream here all ready for sea
except for coal and provisions. Now it is
announced that the Marion will have to
wait; that the Boston is wanted and wanted
quickly.
Early Monday morning dispatches be-

more men were put on her during the day.
Preparations have been made for night
work if necessary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21.-Some-
thing of a sensation was created in polit-
ical circles yesterday by the appearance of
an open letter from ex-Commissioner of
Pensions Corporal" Tanner to the present
Commissi oner for the reasons that it con-
tains warm eulogy of Judge Lochren's
acts as Commissioner, and that it de-
mands the dismissal of an old Republican
clerk, DIR. w. s. Bell, upon the ground
that he refuses to do justice to claimants
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren said
that his only information of the letter of
Corporal Tanner was what he had read in
the newspapers, as he had not yet re-
ceived the communication written him by
Mr.. Tanner.
He said that he would be very sorry to
know that there existed among his en-
ployes tendency TO knife the administers
ton of the bureau by such actions as were
set forth in the charges made by Mr.. Tan
ner. If upon receipt of this letter in ques-
ton there were any direct charges made he
would cause vigorous and thorough in
vestigation to be made into them.
