COLLAPSE OF A TOWER.
Workmen at the Illinois Fair
Grounds Buried Under
Tons of Brick.
Injured the Result Of the
Catastrophe.

& SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Sept. 4.-The
brick tower at the southwest corner of the
new machinery hall at the State Fair
grounds collapsed this afternoon, carrying
down part of the roof and balcony and
burying several men. All but one were
taken out alive.
The accident was due to the softening of
the mortar in the walls by the heavy rain
storm last night. The bricklayers had
been taken off the building a few minutes
previous to the collapse, having just fin
ished it to the rafters, and but for this fact
the mortality would have been greater.
The men at work were carpenters and
plumbers.
The dead are: Henry Hobson, plumber;
James Parks, carpenter, died after being
taken out.
The injured are: Charles E. Bromwell,
water-boy. both legs and arms and sew
eral ribs broken, will die; Nelson William
son, carpenter. both legs broken; Samuel
Davenport, boss carpenter, badly bruised
by falling bricks; Fred Beard, carpenter,
badly bruised and arm broken; Jimmy
Clancy, slate-carrier, leg broken.

liam f. Hinshaw was arraigned in the
Circuit Court at this place this morning,
charged with the murder of his wife
Theresa at Belleville on the night of Janu-
ary II. AS the defendant, accompanied by
his family, was brought into court great
excitement prevailed. and mutterings of
''There goes coward" and kindred ex-
pressions of hatred were heard.
The defendants counsel filed motion
to quash the indictment, which was over
ruled by Judge Hadley. The defendant
then entered a plea of not guilty. The en-
tire day was consumed in the attempt to
secure jury.
The Hinshaw homicide was the most
sensational in the criminal history of the
State. He was pastor of the leading Meth
odist church at Belleville and connected
with the wealthiest family in the city and
is accused of numbering his wife because of
an attachment for Allie Ferrere, the wealth.
lest and prettiest girl in the vicinity. His
accuser is Detective II. c. Webster of
Indianapolis, who worked for the $4,000 re-
ward offered for the detection of the MUIR
derer.
The case was shrouded in mystery at
first, as every one believed the preachers
statements that robbers killed his wife and
wounded him on the early morning Of
January last. Webster narrowly escaped
being lynched when he caused Hinshaw's s
arrest, but subsequent developments
aroused interest in the detectives claims
until now two-thirds of the people believe
Hinshaw is guilty.

derson, the last member of the Brandon
gang of counterfeiters, was placed in the

States Marshal Charles Quaile. Hender-

the swamps OF Dunklin County, Mo-, on
the st. Francis River, four miles from

The other members of the gang under

at the cabin of John Brandon, which was
in the center of a cornfield, and well
guarded by vicious dogs. Under tho floor

as were also $175 in counterfeit silver dol
lars and about So in counterfeit nickels

Alonzo Brandon, who aspired to be q de-
tective, is the cause of the gang being
behind the bars. He wanted to be great
detective, joined an alleged detective
agency and informed the United States
authorities of what his father and the
Richs and Hendersons were doing. Their
coinage was almost perfect and has cir
culated freely for two years in Southern

phasizes the fact that the mother country
awaits only the return of peace to put into
operation the law recently passed, grant
ing the island partial, if not complete,
autonomy. In the interest of peace, he
says, the winter campaign will be short,
sharp and decisive-a course of action
which it is hoped must summarily end the
drain upon Spain's resources and prevent
the continuance of bloodshed. The state
ment is as follows:
There is no question that the condition
of affairs in Cuba has long presented
features which required correction. Spain
has recognized the imperative need of re-
form quite as keenly as the Cubans them
selves; and, recognizing this need, she
has long ago set herself about satisfying
it. The law granting Cuba partial auton.
omy was passed months ago, not only by
the Conservative party, which opposed it,
but also by the Carlists and the Republi-
cans. 1t would be remarked as curious
coincidence that no sooner did it appear as

CLAIM AGAINST SPAIN
Indemnity Will Be Demanded
for the Confiscation of
an Estate.
Property Of Senor Agramonte Seizec
by Spaniards in Cuba Must
Be Restored.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Another
claim of as much importance as the Mora
indemnity is going to be presented by the
United States Government before the Gov
ernment of Spain in demand for the
restoration of the property confiscated by
the Spanish during the last war from Mar
tin Castillo Agramonte, an American citi-
zen.
Like the Mora claim, the case has been
the subject of no small correspondence be-
tween the two Governments, and it was
rumored late in Havana that owing TO the
demands made by the State Department
at Washington the Agramonte claim
would be paid Immediately after the settle
ment of Morals claim.
One year ago the prospects OF settle
ment were so bright that Spanish capi-
talist came all the way from Madrid to
New York and tried to buy Senior Agra
monte's claim. Agramonte refused, stat
ing he had his case in the hands of the
State Department at Washington.
Seven months ago Mr.. Agramonte died,
leaving five daughters, one of whom is
married to Senior Miguel de Morales of that
city. The claim is for the amount Of
81, 500, 900, with interest.

producers of the Sacramento Valley. The
representation of the seal is perfect, and is
beautifully shaded and outlined by the
different colors of the dried-orchard pro-
ducers. Behind the building and stretch
ing into the north wing are long lines of
tables containing exhibits of all varieties
of fruit from various exhibitors, while
golden pumpkins, immense squash and
other farm products are scattered around
in great profusion.
The corn palace of Mrs. Shields is quite
a unique feature, and consists of small
four-peaked building, tiled with ears of
yellow corn. The sides are covered with
long green stalks of Indian corn, through
whose waving leaves one catches glimpses
of watermelons, red and green cabbages,
different varieties OF potatoes and vari-
colored onions. On one corner of the
structure is bale of hops on the other a
bale of alfalfa, while trailing, green vines
loaded with fragrant hops trail in studied
confusion over the whole edifice.

passed than the current rebellion broke
out.
at has been said that the rebellion was
due to the disgust of the Cubans at seeing,
in this measure, their cherished hopes
again frustrated and their aspirations for
home rule juggled with. The truth of the
matter is that Cuba was not disappointed
it was the men whose interests lie in
fomenting discord who perceived that with
the adoption of the law their occupation
was gone. The rebellion was not due to
dissatisfaction over the law, but, paradox
cal as it may seem, was caused by the law
being too acceptable to the genuine, honest
autonomists.
General Martinez Campos has it in his
personal discretion to put the law into
execution whenever he sees fit, but he will
not do so until there is peace on the island,
because to give the measures practicability
a fair test it cannot be tried amid the din
of musketry and the flash of machetes.

bellion within the next three months. She

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Quesada of the Cuban revolutionary party
in this city and Horatio Ruebens, its at
torney, returned last night from Whining
ton, Del, where they have been since
Sunday looking after the interests of the
filibusters arrested by the United States
authorities. They did not divulge what
they intended to do, but they expressed
confidence that the authorities will make
the punishment, should any be infic ted,
as light as possible for the men.
1t has developed since the arrests that
this expedition was one mentioned often
of late, which was led by General Francisco
Carrillo. 1t would have been one of the
largest sent to Cuba. 1t was not gener-
ally known that General Carrillo was
among the prisoners, as he gave his name
as Frank" Carrillo.
The Cuban party received reports yester-
day from A. Aguerra and c. de Cardenas,
who, several weeks ago, went to South
America as commissioners to ask fo1
recognition. They write that a member
of the Municipal Council of Panama has
brought the matter to the attention of the
Municipal Councilmen of other cities in

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept 4.-The town of
Huntington, Carroll County, was visited

The course of the storm was northwest

rain. The Nashville, Chattanooga and ST..

seated. The debris in the freight building
fell In such a direction as to protect it.
The roof was blown off the Southern Nor

of Fry's jewelry house was blown off. The

count of the timber and debris.

ures which have been introduced by the
exhibitors of 1896. The exhibits on the
main floor are fully completed, and the
interior of the building under the glitter
of the electric lights and decorations is a
perfect dream of beauty.
In prominent place at the entrance of
the north wing of the Pavilion is the dis
play of fruits and products raised within
the limits of Sacramento County. The
main feature of this exhibit is model of
the State Capitol, which has been repro
duced with It's accompanying display of
luscious fruit preserved in jars of unique
design. So perfect is the fruit. that one is
led to believe that it has just been plucked
from its leafy home in the orchards and
VINEYARDS of this favored portion of Golden
California.
Against the snow white dome of the
structure are rows of vari-colored jams
and jellies, which sparkle and gleam like
amber against their white background.
Within the interior of the building there is
a long range of shelving containing plates
loaded with plump, ripe fruit garnered
from the vast vineyards and orchards of
the Sacramento Valley. Here side by side
are ranged golden oranges, SO freshly
plucked that the leaves have not even
wilted, great green apples showing in vivid
contrast with their yellow-hued neighbors,
purple clusters of luscious grapes are side

island to crush the insurgents. The thing
must be done sooner or later, and it is
bettering the interests of humanity as well
as the state that it be speedily accom-
plished.
81 have said and 1 take pride in repeat
ing it, that what is wanted in the island of
Cuba and what the people are fighting for
there to-day is not liberty; and in proof of
this assertion I refer any one who wants to
learn the truth to respectfully born Ameri-
cans who live on the island. Respectable
Americans live and work there, and they
do not seem to miss the liberty they enjoy
in the United States. The only claim that
certain of the local leaders lay stress upon
that there is no liberty in the islaud OF
Cuba-is that Cubans pay per capita tax
of SIS, and that they must carry paper all
the time to show who they are. Respecta-
BILE people do not find any fault at this
formality. Spain is not the only country
having this kind of personal document.
They are found in Italy, Germany, Swift
zerland, Belgium and other countries. 1t
is true that this is kind of personal tax,
but are there not in this country the poll
tax and other taxes? IT, on the island OF
Cuba, every one should pay to the treasury
what he ought there is no doubt the taxa
tion would be enormous, but the majority
of the people in one way or another try to
avoid paying the taxes. It is impossible
in the island of Cuba to collect rural taxes.
1t has often been tried and has been found
almost impossible to do so.
''The real question is high one. 1t is
question of race. Any change in the
form of government would be based upon
universal suffrage. A government elected
by tine majority of the population-and no
one would think of setting up constitu-
ton upon any other basis-refects, from
the nature of things. the character OF
electors. These blacks depend for the
progress which they may be capable of
making on the presence of a white COM
munity among them, and although it
would be undesirable and equally impos-
sible for the blacks to be ruled by the
minority of the white residents, it would
be equally undesirable and equally impos-
sible for the whites to be ruled by them.
'sAll the trouble in the island may be
summed up in very few words. 1t is the
result of certain practical fl1busters in
the United States, who, seeing their source
of income was in danger, tried to make ali
the trouble they could, so as to assure
their future income by collecting contri-
buttons from the poor cigar-makers."
