Army Officer at Fort Sheridan
Attempts to Kill His

The Bullets Fail to DO Injury
But Great Excitement

Over Indulgence In Liquor
Given as the Cause Of
the Act.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Colonel r. E. A.
Crofton, commander of tho Fifteenth
infantry ut Fort Sheridan, narrowly es.
cared death or ut least Il severe wound
at the hands Of Lieutenant S. $. Pague
Of Company r, Fifteenth infantry, dur
ing the afternoon. The lieutenant fired
three shots at the commander. One
passed through n loose fold Of his over
coat just over the right groin, tho sec
ond and third passed close to the body.
Lieutenant Pague few moments be-
fore had escaped from the hospital
where he had been undergoing treat
mcnt for mental trouble occasioned, it
is said, by over indulgence III liquor.
At the fort it was said that the ieutcn-
amt was not responsible for his act and
that his meeting with Colonel Crofton
was chance meeting.
The shooting ocsasioned great excite
ment at the fort, both because Of the
universal good favor in which Lieuten-
ant Pague is held by his comrades who
regret exceedingly his mental troubles,
and because it was he second time that
an officer of the Fifteenth infantry,
while suffering from dementia, has at
tucked Colonel CrOfton.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 4.-The trial of
Theodore Durrant was replete with
sensations during the day. Henry j..
Mccoy, general secretary Of the Young
Mems Christian association, who was
cited for contempt last Monday for tell
ing Juror Truman that if he did not
hang Du1rant the people would hang
him, was fined S25 with the alternative
of five days in the county Jail. During
the cross examination of witness sum-
moned by the defense the prosecution
developed the fact that q student at
Cooper Medical college who did not at.
tend the lecture delivered by DR.. Cheney
on the afternoon Of April 3. was record
ed present in the roll call book. This
testimony is Of the greatest Importance
to the prosecution from the fact that it
shows the unreiiability Of the roll call
book in which Durrant was recorded
present on the afternoon that Blanche
Lamont was murdered.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 7.-Death stalked
among the guests at the wedding OF H.
II. Gage near Sabula, Jackson county,
three weeks ago, although the fact did
not become apparent until Saturday,
when two Of the victims succumbed.
The muscles were removed from the arm
of George Bryant and sent to Chicago
for analysis, as the local physicians are
unable to determine the cause Of the
wholesale poisoning.
More than 400 persons attended the
wedding, and Of these 104 persons are
now confined to their beds, suffering
the most intense agony. Many Of the
victims are insane. Among the serious
ly i'll is Fl. G. Gage, the groom, and the
doctors despair of saving his life. Many
others are at deaths door, and the COM
munity is panic-strickcn. Guests at
the wedding who have not yet been at
tackled by the strange disease have been
made i'll by apprehensions, and the
anxiety and care Of the suffering ones.

PLATFORM COLLAPSED,
Serious Accident During the
Laying of a Cornerstone
at Lorain, O.
Giving Way of a Floor Precip-
itateS Hundreds Into the
Cellar Below.
One Person Killed, Ten Fatally
Injured and Forty Others
Badly Hurt.

LoRA1N, O., Oct. 7.-While a great
crowd of people were assembled to wit
hess the laying Of the cornerstone OF
the new St. Marys Catholic church, a
temporary floor on which many of the
people were standing suddenly gave
way, precipitating many men, women
and children into the basement. One
was killed outright, 10 were fatally in
jured, and between 30 and 40 others
were badly hurt.
The services were just about to begin
when the accident happened. Fully
5000 persons were assembled Oh and
around the platform, which had been
constructed across the foundation OF the
edifce. The boards forming the tenn
porary floor had been laid across the
joists. which were supported i'll the
middle by upright posts. These sup
ports broke and the floor
Went Down With u Crash.
Fully 500 persons were thrown into
tie pit formed by the sagging in the
middle of the floor. For q moment
everybody was paralyzed by the calaln'
ity but soon there was rush forward
by those willing to lend their assistance
to the crushed and struggling people.
This made matters worse, for 30 more
persons were crowded forward into the
hole upon those who went down with the
floor. When the confusion had subsidized
somewhat, many of those who were
able to extricate themselves did so by
walking and crawling over their less for
tunate companions. The work of res
cue was begun at once and au We're
finally taken from the pit.
Fault Of II Contractor.
The old Catholic church and parochia]
school were ut once turned into hOspi-
tbs. A score of doctors were called and
they We're kept busy for hours caring
for the injured, several Of whom will
die before morning.
The accident was due to defective
timbcrs. The contractor was told Sat
arlay that the platform was insecure,
but he sad it would hold all the people
that could be crowded upon it. There
were between l 500 and 1000 people Oh
it when it gave way.
Despite the accident the services were
continued and the laying Of the corner
stone was completed.

DEAR S1R-There is a style of ex-
preston and penmanship in your letter
which reminds me very much Of mud
spring facilitator and horse thief of
some repute who escaped from California
some years ago. Can be wrong, Mr..
Nudge, or whatever your name may be?
Pardon me, sir, but this new feature
Of the case has almost made me forget

But, you will excuse mo for again re-
ferring to your style. That word an
thropological was a favorite one with the
gifted horse thief and uxoricide in Cali
fornia. Are you trying to drown your
memory in ~ kinds Of mud, all differ
emit?
Pardon me if do you a wrong.
You wrong me, however, MIR. Nudge,
or whatever your name may be for this
week. when you ask me to come over
there, evidently with view to getting
points out of me regarding the proper
treatment Of magnetic mud. You uncon-
sciously thus convey to me your own
plan Of operations, and i am now pre-
pared to believe what one Of my patients
says-viz, that your electro magnetic
spring is charged by a small battery and
underground wires and favored with all
old hoopskirt and a cat.
Death is at all times most solemn,
and it seems doubly so when closely as
ISOLATED with the living. I think that
you would do WE'LL therefore, to remove
tho cat and be temporarily honest.
, Is it true also that your mud has red
paint in it? I am reforming q violent
case of Mania jaggueri from your
springs, and he says that it came Oh for
the first time whilst he was there. He
says that there are qualities about your
springs, or the liquor you use in your

commit ~ kinds Of felony, all different.
