THREE CRUSHED TO DEATH
UNDER FALLING WALLS.
Warning Camo Too Late for Them to Get
Out of the Way.

The round-house OF the Wabash railroad
company in Toledo, o., located at the foot OF
South street, on the dock front, burned to the
ground between 10 and IL o'clock Sunday
morning. Three-quarters OF an hour after
the first alarm WAS sent in the southwest wall
Of the building, 60 feet in circumference, fell
In, burying ~ men underneath 1t. Two Of
them were instantly killed, third died n
short time after being taken out of
tho debris, and the others were all badly
hurt, one probably fatally. All but one,
John Bowen, were employees OF the Wabash.

ried, seven children.

The first alarm for the fire came by tele-
phone to the district Office at 10;l0 a. m. A
few minutes previous q resident Of the neigh
borhood Of the roundhouse saw small flame
burst out OF the cupola OF the building and he
ran to the Office Of the general foreman, d.
rectly across from the roundhouse, and noti-
fed those in charge. General Forman How
ard summoned the company's private FIRE
department, consisting OF 10 men, to the
scene and stream OF water was directed to-
ward the blazing copola A heavy wind was
blowing, and the Are soon ate its way down
to the roof of the roundhouse.
The property loss is estimated at 100000;
probably Insured. The roundhouse, which
had a capacity Of 20 locomotives, contained
only engines, and these are all badly dam
aged. A Wheeling Il Lake Erie coal car and
Baltimore & Ohio box car were consumed.
Late Mt night two more men were found
who were injured by the falling wall. They
are J. Finlay, an engineer, OF Andrews, Ind, q,
and George Towers, machinist, both in the
employ OF the Wabash. Finlay is quite seri-
ously hurt His chest was crushed, md he

A DARK RECORD.
There Were at Lsast 100 Gases of Diph-
therIa in Topeka During October.

There Were at Least 100 Cases of Diph-
iberia in Topeka During October.
The record of contagious diseases in
the Office of the city board of health
shows that there were fifty four families
in which there were cases of diphtheria
during October.
While that many families were quar-
antined it does not mean that there were
only fifty-four cases of diphtheria in the
city during the month. The sanitary
sergeant does not keep a record of the
individual cases and half dozen NOM
bers of a family may be afflicted
with the disease and but one name that
of the family, is entered on the record.
There were several families in the city in
which there were four or five cases, and
many more in which there were two or
three.
1t is safe to say that the average was at
least two cases in each family, and that
means that there were 100 cases of diph-
iberia in Topeka during the month of
October.
There have been thirty five deaths
since the disease first appeared in the
latter part of August 1t is now slowly
decreasing.

sales by statutory enactments, to the
regularity of the proceedings of the
sale, and if the sheriff had performed
his duties as required by law the sale
had to be confirmed This is an error,
aud one in these times, when almost pri-
vate confiscation prevails, should be cor
rected Under the old law, providing
for the confirmation of sales, state courts,
by construction of law aud by the con-
trolling decisions upon the same. were
left little latitude outside of the regu-
larity of the proceedings.
But the legislature of 1898. to correct
that very evil, changed the law, not Civ
ing the right, but commanding state
courts to exercise the same equity juris-
diction in the confirmation of sales that
is invoked by the United States court"
Mr. Qujnton says that the section of
the statutes which said that sales 'shail
be confirmed" was repealed in 1898 and a
section almost identical adopted except
that the words land equity" were insert
ed as condition for the confirmation of
the sale.
"The Legislature meant something"
says Mr.. Quinton, when it inserted and
equity into the statute. 1t said to the
court, it is not sufficient for you to say
now that the proceedings of the sale are
regular, but it must, as a court admins
tering justice, from the facts presented
TO it also say that the sale is just and
right and equitable before a confrma-
ton can be had"
