CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-At the nam
moth coliseum show building, which
Is being erected opposite the Worlds
Fair grounds on Sixty-third street,
this afternoon, Samuel Mccartney and
r. Mcneil were instantly killed by
the falling Of a massive cross beam Of
iron. Five hundred mon were at work
in tho open space bounded by the
four walls, placing and bolt
ing iron girdors which are to
span the width of the structure. Nc
Carney and Mcneil were perched on
one Of the girders, 100 feet in tho air.
They crept to the centre Of
the beam in order to put tl.e bolts
in position, when the two mon felt it
shake. The ends had not been lasten-
ed to the walls. Workmen shouted
from below, but the warning came too
late. The great mass swayed for q
moment, then overbalanced and top
pied TO the ground, carrying the occu.
pants to their death. Their bodies
were shockingly mangled. The scores
Of workingmen barely had time to es-
cape being struck by the falling beams.

had told the people Of North Carolina
long ago that the financial question

called him q country crank. He told
them that this was the trouble, the
thing that was making hard times.
He repeated at great length his mil

speech made at Tirzah. He took a
hand primary to see how many would
vote to perpetuate the present condi-

When Senator Butler completed his

Without intending TO shoot either of

shot and killed his father, ranch
owner, near this city, and fatally
wounded an Antenum blacksmith
named Evans. Flo surrendered and
was brought here by the neighbors.
The murderer had slandered Evans
daughter, and that caused the tragedy.
Evans, his wife and daughter, drove
to the McGonigle ranch to force him
to retreat. Young McGonigle first
shot at Evans, but killed his own
father, and he then fired at Evans
daughter, wounding her father. .lli
