in well-known cafe in Havana that

the cafes that if Uncle Sam recognizes

SEATTLE, Oct. 5.-The Northern Pa
cttic and Great Northern Express Com
panies have had their agents ut work
today checking up the books of four
fish shipping companies. to detect
overweights in shipments to the east.
The trouble arose several days ago,
when the express companies issued a
circular complaining they had been
defrauded by the fish shippers, who, it
is claimed, had exceeded the per
cent limit for shrinkage, and had i'm
posed on the transportation companies.
The order provided that net weights
be abolished and gross weights suubsti-
tuted, and the express companies at
the same time demanded that the ship
pers' books be opened to them, so they
could detect the excesses, if any. Four
OF the companies, after several con-
ferences, acquiesced in the demand.
The others hold out and will be shut off
from thier eastern market until they
yield. The companies made rate of

Distressing Accident at the Laying of q
Church Cornerstone.
LORIAN, O., Oct. 6.-While a great
crowd of people was assembled this af
ternoon to witness the laying of the
corner stone of the new St. Mary's
cathedral, temporary floor, upon
which many were standing, suddenly
gave way, precipitating many men,
women and children into the base
ment. Two were killed outright, 10
fatally injured and between 80 and 40
others badly hurt. The services were
just about to begin when the accident
happened.
Fully 10000 people were around the
platform, which had been constructed
above the foundation of the edifce,
The boards forming the floor had been
laid across joists, which were sup
ported in the middle by upright posts,
These supports broke and the floor
went down with crash. Fully 300
people were thrown into the pit formed
by the sagging in the middle of the
floor.
For moment everybody was paral-
yzed by the calamity, but soon there
was rush forward by those willing to
lend assistance to the crushed and
struggling people. This made matters
wors, for so more persons were crowd
ed forward into hole upon those who
confusion subsidized somewhat, many of
those who were able to extricate them
selves did so by walking or crawling
over the less fortunate. The work of
rescue was begun at once and all were
finally taken from the pit.

KILLED By A FALLING rILr.

L. Sands, Foreman of the Crew Operating
the Pile Driver, the Victim.
About s O'Clock last evening, while
the crew operating the D.. p. a A. N.
Co.'S. pile driver, which is being used
in the construction of dock across
the river, was placing pile in posi-
tion, it fell striking L. Sands with
such force as to fracture his skull. re-
sulting in his death some two hours
later. Mr.. Sands had given instruc-
tlons as to the placing OF the timber
chains to it preparatory to hoisting but
did not get out of the way when the
engine was put in motion. In some
unaccountable manner the chain with
which the pile was fastened came loose
and let itfall. Mr. Sands was too close
to escape when the. danger came. DIR.
Logan was Immediately summoned
and found the mans injuries to con-
sist of fractured skull. He was
brought to the New Columbia, where
he died shortly after o'clock.
Mr.. Sands had been in the employ
of the D. p & A. N. Co., as foreman
of the pile driver for the past two
months, and 30 far as is known here
had no relatives in this vicinity.
An inquest was held at Crandall &
Burgett's undertaking parlors over
his remains this morning before Cor
oner Butts. Following are the find
ings of the coroner's jury:
We, the undersigned coroner's jury,
empanelIed to inquire into the cause
of the death of L. Sands, find as fol-
lows:
That said L. Sands was an Ameri-
can citizen, born and raised In the
state of Maine; that he was about 4S
years old, and about feet 10i inches
In heighth, of the weight OF nearly 1855
pounds, light compiexioned, light
hair, heavy light colored mustachs
and blue eyes.
That said L. Sands while following
his usual occupation, that of a foreman
on the pile driver, at The Dalles, Ore
gon, was struck on the head by fall
ing pile, which was the result Of an
accident which caused his
death on the 7th Of October, 1895.

Can't Fight In Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 7.-Governor
Altgeld, when asked what course he
would take in case an attempt was
made to pull off the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons fight on an island in the Illinois
river near Henry, ILL.,, said: ~ don't
know where the island is, nor do l
know of any prospective fight, but if
it is on Illinois soil we will do all in
our power to prevent any prizefght
taking place there. The enforcement
of the law rests primarily with the To-
cal authorities, but if it becomes nec-
essary for the state to take hand, you
may say that will use every effort to
prevent the fight"
The governor has no doubt as to his
ability and his right to uphold the
laws of Illinois. Further than the
above, however, he would say nothing.

FILTHY Lucae.
Many Prefer u Dirty Note to New OAs.
Especially In the West.

Many Prefer u Dirty Note to q New Oas.
Especially In the West.
The raid that was made on the
treasury department for new notes
and coins by the visitors in Wash.
ington during the Grand Army en-.
campment and the 100000 and
more old torn bills which they left
behind indicates what a rarity a
crisp, new note is in the west. In
Washington people have got to be
quite fastidious about their money.
That which is fresh and clean is
right at their hand, and when a note
begins to get a little soiled they dc
not care to handle it. Notes such as
are regarded as in good condition in
Chicago and other western cities
would not circulate for a day in
Washington. Pocketbooks are sci
dom used there except for small
change, the correct thing being for
those who have money to carry the
new bills in an envelope without
folding them, so as to preserve their
newness.
A Washington man going west can
mark the stages of his progress by
the changing condition of the money.
In the cities of the far west it is bad
enough, but in the country places
and among the farmers generally
after passing the Ohio a new note OF
small denomination is a thing almost
unknown. Even in Minneapolis men
from Washington who carried crisp
81 notes in the Original packages, :
Just as they came from the treasury,
found occasionally places where they
could not pass the money because il
looked "too new to be good" A
good many Of the street car conduc
tors refused to take the new notes,
but a dirty bill, all patched and al
most free from design, was taken
without question as the proper thing.
1t is said at the treasury department
that comparatively little money
comes in from the west for redemp
ton.
Great quantltleS OF these notes
don't como back for redemption, and
in the final run of years the govern
ment is much the gamer by it. The
trouble is that, while the treasury is
always ready to destroy the old notes
and give new ones in their place,
there is no provision for transporta-
ton of the notes, and the amount OF
express charges from a distance pre-
vents their being sent in for redemp
ton. In 1882 congress made an ap
preparation for the payment of such
express charges, and for once the en-
tire country got new set of green
backs. Since then there has been no
appropriation for that purpose, and
the national currency is sadly in need
of repairs. Philadelphia Tele

STREET CARS COLLIDE.

Fearful Accident on an Electric Line In
Tacoma.
TACOMA, Oct. A frightful head
end collision between two electric cars
occurred on the line to Puyallup, near
the southern city limits, at 7:30 this
morning, during dense fog. Both
cars were crowded to their utmost
limits, and were running very rapidly.
A dozen people were badly injured,
two fatally.
John Tournier and n. Bailey, riding
on the platform, were jammed between
the cars. The former had both legs
broken; the latter one, and both were
injured internally.
Eddie Lemagie, 16 years old, was
badly crushed and rendered insensible.
Fred Foy, motorman, was injured
internally.
Others were less seriously hurt. The
injured were taken to Fanny Paddock
hospital.
Both cars were badly shattered, and
travel was delayed for several hours.
The accident is laid to carelessness in
running too fast in the fog.
