A FRIGHTFUL CRASH.
The Coliseum Building at Chicago {
lapses, Causing Nearly G2OO,OOO Los

The Coliseum Building at Chicago Col.
lapses, Causing Nearly 100000 Loss.
CHICAGO, Aug. 90. - The Coliseum
building, a great open structure which
was being erected by the Chicago Ex-
hibition Company, on the block bounded
by Hope and Stony Island avenues
and Sixty-third and Sixty-second
streets, was wrecked last night at 1880
o'clock by the collapse of the iron roof.
If the disaster 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 electric lighting for
the opening of the big show building
September 2, with Barnum & Bailey's
circus. So far as known there was nc
one killed.
When the massive arches of iron
began to break loose from their fasten
ings on the four sides of the structure
the strain was too much for the thin
low walls of brick. With deafenine
sound the mass of iron carried with II
the four walls in chaotic heap to
wards the center and the work of de
struction was complete. The cost o.
the Coliseum was to be 1925, 200, and as
it was nearing completion for the
show the loss is believed to be nearly
$500, 900.

Two Train Robbers Shoot IA Detective and
He Dies From His Wounds.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 23.-De-
tective Powers was fatally shot in the
head last night while arresting two of
the train robbers who held up the
Chicago & West Michigan passenger
train Tuesday night, near New Rich
mond, in smoker of the northbound
Grand Rapids & Indiana train. Word
was sent to the police headquarters
last night that two men got aboard a
Lake Shore train at Dorr station and
CAME to this city. The two strange
men were spotted on the outgoing
train last evening, for all trains had
been under surveillance for the two
suspects.
The detective was going through the
train and as he entered the smoker he
saw two men who tailed with the de-
scription given. He grabbed one and
at the same time blew his whistle for
aid, as other officers were aboard going
through other cars The moment he
blew his whistle one of the men drew
a revolver and shot him through the
head and he fell to the car floor. AS
the other officers rushed in the two
men fled and jumped from the train,
escaping in the darkness. The whole
detective force was at once called out
and the country is being secured for the
desperadoes. Powers died at Lao a. m.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The St. James
Gazette publishes scare article asking
how Great Britain stands with the
United States government in the mat
ter of the Nicaragua canal and saying
that it will be well if the Right Hon.
George n. Curzon. under secretary of
state for foreign affairs, is asked to
give some explanation on the subject
in the house of commons. Continuing,
the Gazette remarks: "As far as can
be seen, we are heading straight for a
crisis and there will be either a diplo-
matte deadlock between the two coun-
tries or the English will surrender i'm
portant treaty rights. The deadlock
can be avoided by discreet handling of
the facts by the foreign Office and a
surrender need never occur.
"Should situation be brought about
in which the United States finds it can
ignore the united states of Central
America, then good-by to any hope of
retaining, much less extending, our
commercial hold of the republics of the
Spanish Main, maket in which we al
ready suffer from sharp competition
from Americans and Germans"
The st. James Gazette then proceeds
to rehearse the history of the Nicaragua
canal, claiming that the accedence of
the United States government to the
request of the American Canal Com
pany to guarantee further capital for it
would be an infraction of the Bulwer-
Clayton treaty.

milwaukee,, Wis, is Visited by Fire
that Resulted in 100000 Loss.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Aug. 2S.- Fire
broke out at / o'clock Thursday after
noon in the warehouse of the Union
Steamboat Company, on the Menomi-
nee river. A thirty-mile wind was
blowing and the flames spread with
great rapidity. At 2:3O o'clock the fire
was under control. The damage
amounts to upwards of $3OO,OOO, and
some estimates place the loss at $780,
600. Tha principal buildings burned,
besides frame dwellings that were de-
stroyed on Fowler and Second streets,
were as follows: Union Steamboat
Company's warehouse, Anchor Line
warehouse, Pennsylvania railroad
freight house, Wisconsin Central freight
house, part of Pritzlaff's warehouse,
H. j. Delaney's warehouse and E. T.
Doyn's plumbing shop.
The Union Steamboat Company's
building was 600 feet in length and in
it were thousands of tons of freight,
all of which was destroyed with the
building. Over sixty freight cars be-
longing to the st. Paul company and in
process of being loaded or ready to ship
were soon enveloped in flames and de-
stroyed.
Within a half hour after the fire
broke out in the steamboat freight
house the Wisconsin Central freight
house, just north of the river, and 100
feet in length, was totally destroyed.
This, like the others, was filled with
freight, and large number of the COM
pany's cars standing near were de-
stroyed. A little while after the freight
cars began burning fire broke forth
from the cupola of the oil and grease
establishment of II. j. Delaney a. Co.,
on Third street, half n block from the
tracks where the burning cars stood.
Following this, the plumbing establish
ment of Z. 7. Doyn was quickly de-
stroyed. A row of frame dwelling
houses on Fowler street, directly oppo-
site the st. Paul freight house, were
also burned.
So quick were the flames to take the
freight house of the Wisconsin Cen
tral company that the Office employees
were unable to close their safes or res
cue their valuable records and all these
were destroyed with the building. The
heaviest losses will be those sustained
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
and Wisconsin Central companies, but
owing to the fact that the freight de-
stroyed cannot now be estimated as to
quantity or kind no figures given at
this time would be correct. The losses
sustained by the st. Paul company
were about sixty freight cars, of an
average value of $4OO each. More than
half of them were loaded or nearly
loaded. In addition to this the st. Paul
company owned the 300-foot freight
house occupied by the Wisconsin Cen
trail which was totally destroyed,
filled with freight which was in charge
of the Central company, and number
of cars owned by the latter company.
The losses to the railway companies
will probably reach 500, ,OOO The losses
are nearly wholly covered by insurance.
While the fire was in progress, Jo
seph McManus was run over by engine
No. and instantly killed. The boy
had gone to see the fire and was trying
to get across the street when the acci.
dent occurred. He was s years old.

BOLD BANDITS.

Story of a Train Hold-up In NebrasIra
that Was Not Profitable to the Rob-
bers.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 29.-The east
bound Union Pacific flyer was held up
by train robbers in a cut between
Bradys island and Gothenburg about
o'clock Wednesday morning and the
Pacific Express Company was robbed
of about $1SO found in the small safe.
The robbers tagged the train and when
it stopped boarded the engine. They
then climbed on the front end of the
mail car as the train was leaving
Brady's island When the train reached
the switch at the east end of the sta
tion the robbers climbed upon the en-
gine and covered Engineer Anstin and
Fireman Duke with their guns and Or
! dered them to run the train ahead un-
til commanded to stop. The robbers
told the engineer and fireman to un-
couple the express and baggage cars
from the train and to run them ahead.
They compelled the engineer and fire.
man to pound on the doors of the car
and tell the baggage and express men
to open it. One bandit entered the car
with dynamite while the other one Wis
ible guarded the engineer and express
messenger. A third is supposed to have
been outside watching the train, it
still being coupled to the express car
and trainmen coming out to see the
cause of the stop.
Robber No. asked the fireman to
hand him the dynamite which was on
the tender, which he did. The dyna'
mite was attached to the big safe, fuse
placed and match applied. The eY'
press messenger was ordered out of Me
car and the robbers and the three
trainmen walked short distance
away and all laid down on the ground
At this time the engineer asked the
robbers to allow him to turn off the in
iector so as to prevent his engine from
blowing up. The fireman was allowed
to go forward to the engine and instead
of turning off the injector, the fireman
cut the steam and air pipe and bel
cord, detaching the engine from the
train. turned on full steam and started
for Gothenberg for assistance. This
explosion followed almost upon the de
parture of the engine. The robbei
who entered the car soon reappeared
and discovering that the engine hat
gone, said that the business was fail
ure all around and called to his com
panions to follow him. The three mer
then rode away, After the explosion
the train crew entered the baggage ca
and with considerable difficulty put ou
the fire that was kindled by the ex
plosion. Seven trunks and content
were demolished by the explosion. Th'
big fire and burglar proof safe was no
seriously injured. The Pacific Express
packages of freight were undisturbed
The total damage to the car and con
tents will not exceed $1,000.

MIR. johnson, Of the Reporter, recon-
mends that a tax of $500 should be i'm
posed upon every saloon. Ifthe business
is reputable there should be no discrlm-
ination between that and other branches
of trade. The poor man should have the
same freedom with the wealthy, but to
place a tax upon it the door is closed to
the DOOR man that stands in need of the
revenue to support his family, and places
it within the reach of those that can live
without it. This is a free country, Bro.
johnson, and all should have equal
rights in business way.

Now let our leaders see that nothing

The Washington Post reports that "A
strong movement is being made by The
West Virginia Republicans to secure the
second place on that party's national
ticket for Judge Con.
Other things being equal. We should
suppose that the personal and political
record of Judge Con would give him
good chance for the place before the con-
vention. West Virginia was not a rebel
State and Gofr was a Union soldier. But
Goff could not hope TO get on ticket
with his neighbor. Mckinley; nor could
he hope to be put on a ticket with Reed
or Morton. for then the West would
have no representation on the ticket.
II Allison were given the first place
on the ticket. Con- might stand some show
for the second place; but wouldn't the
convention prefer TO give Allison
a running mate from the great State of
New York? We should think SO.
Nor would Harrison. and Con make "A
good ticket. In that event neither "the
great West" nor the great East would
have a representative on the ticket.
Nearly the same objections which apply
to Gofrs geographical location apply to
Governor Bradleys. and. looking at the
matter from the Republican standpoint
there N some hope of West Virginia
voting for the Republican ticket in 1896
while there is none that Kentucky will
do so
