INSTANTLY KILLED
Fatal Accident at the New Library
Building.
YOUNG ACr0N'S TRAGIC FALL
Trips or Walks Through an Open
Trap.
T II E FIR ST ATH
T HE FIRST ATH

This afternoon about / 80 o'clock there
was an accident at the new Congressional
Library building, which resulted in the al
most instant death of an eighteen-year-old
white boy named Walter Acton, who lived
on 10Th street between C and D streets.
Acton was employed as a water boy by
Smead & Company, the iron contractors of
Louisville. and was a very bright and IN
telligent young man. His father is dead,
ard he has made his home with his wild
owed mother.
The accident occurred in the west or
nain entrance hall of the library building.
From the floor to the handsome ceiling
above is distance of about 100 feet. On
the north and south sides of the hall are
the beautifully carved marble staircases.
At distance Of eighty-one feet from the
floor is temporary flooring for the con-
venience Of the men who have been at
work upon the ceiling. 1t is thoroughly
substantial structure. and here, as else
where throughout the building, every safe
guard was taken to prevent accident
Through the Trap.
In the center of this temporary wooden
flooring, and at a point directly above the
center of the main hall or corridor, is a
gangway or hole cut through, about five
feet square, through which building ma
terials are hoisted. 1t was through this
trap that young Acton fell this afternoon
1t would seem though there was no cne
near him at the time he fell, but it is sup
posed that he was walking across without
looking where he was going, and either
tripped or stepped into this hole. From
there 1t was a clear fall to the floor below.
He Was Dead.
The body turned over as 1t fell through
the air and dropped heavily and with dull
sound upon the solid floor below
MIR. John Chambers the superintendent
for Smead & Co., was standing on scaffold
nearby and saw the body in the air, al
though he did not see Acton when he first
fell. He and some of the laborers at once
ran to his assistance.
Dr. j. W. Bayne, who lives near at hand,
was summoned at once but the young man
was dead before ne reached him. Acton's
skull was badly fractured, his left arm
was broken and there were other injuries
pes!des. The patrol wagon from the fifth
precinct was summoned and the body was
removed from the building shortly after
ward and the coroner notified.
First Tragedy.
1t was stated at the library building this
afternoon that this was the first fatal acci-
dent that has occurred there since the
building was begun. 1t is a curious coinci-
dence that a workman who was killed
some time ago by a falling stone at the
new city post office met his death at the
very center of the main entrance so that
in future yeerS the thousands who enter
the two buildings will walk over the places
where two men have met untimely ends.

A HAWAIIAN CABLE.

San FrnnciscO and Honolulu to BE
the Points of Contact.
Plans are made for building a cable from
San Francisco to the Hawaiian Islands,
and Col q. S. Spalding, who lately re-
coived from the Hawaiian government a
concession for constructing such a line of
communication, has arrived in this country.
He will sail for Europe on Saturday to join
his family in Switzerland. When in this
city.Col. Spaldins said:
II am here for the purpose of notifying
the United States government of my con-
tract with Hawaii and TO explain that at
an early date / will submit a proposition
for establishing cable communca ton be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu, and
asking for aid from the United States gov
ernment At present l am on my way to
visit my family, but l expect to return to
Washington within two months.
will be asked for a company of American
capitalists. to whom I shall assign my con-
cessicn frcm Hawaii, and il sufficient as
sistance he granted by the government to
make ii feasible to construct and maintain
the cable line work will be commenced at
once. l have been promised private SUBJ
scriptions to stock of the company to the
amount of $1,OO0.OOO, and hope that our
government will grant a yearly subsidy
which, in connection with that granted by
Hawaii, will enable us to raise the money
necessary to carry out the project"

THE MARINE BAND.

No Money to Pay It's Expenses to the
Chfckamausa Celebration.
1t has been found impracticable to send
the Marine Band to the Chickamauga Ma
ticnaI Park celebration because of the lack
of fun ds to meet the expenses of their
transportation and subsistence. The park
commission requested the attendance Of
the band On the 18th and 20th instants, and
the necessary orders to that end were is
sued by the Secretary of the Navy. with
the proviso that the expenses of the trip
be borne by the War Department. 1t has
now been concluded that there are no funds
available, and the orders to the band will
be revoked. Congress appropriated $4,000
to cover the expenses of the dedication of
the park, Of which amount 5000 was set
aside for the expenses of the congressional
representatives at the ceremonies. 1t was
estimated that it would cost at least $500
to take the band to Chickamauga, and the
conclusion was reached that the depleted
state of the appropriation would not justify
such an expenditure. The War Department
officials are unwilling that any of the regu-
lar appropriations for that department
should be diverted to this use, and there is
no fund in the Navy Department available
