Fall.

Toledo, O., March 1S.-The roundhouse
of the Wabash Railroad company in this
city, located at the foot of South street
on the dock front, burned to the ground
between 10 and II o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Three-quarters of an hour after
the first alarm was sent in the south
west wall of the building, so feet in cir
conference, fell in, burying twelve men
underneath it. Two of them were in
stantly killed, a third died short time
after being taken out of the debris, and
the others were all badly hurt, one prob
ably fatally. All but John Bowen were
employees of the Wabash.
The dead are:

J. Finlay. an engineer of Andrews, Ind.
George Towers, machiniSt, both in the en-
ploy of the Wabash.
A few minutes after 10 O'Clock Sunday
morning persons in the vicinity of the
Wabash railway roundhouse noticed a
small blaze in the cupola of the building,
evidently kindled from a spark from q
passing locomotive. An alarm was hur-
ment responded with three engines and
hose carts. The roundhouse whistles
were at once sounded, and as many of the
employees of the company reside near,
many Of them were soon on the spot. There
was apparently no immediate danger, as
the fire was still confined to the top of the
building. They rushed inside and en-
deavored to get the engines out to pre-
vent their destruction. AS nearly all the
engines had no water in the boilers, con-
siderable delay was OccaSiOned in getting
them in shape to move.
Suddenly the roof was observed to be
sagging. A cry of alarm went up, but
the roar of the flames evidently prevented
the men on the inside from hearing it.
and as the crossbar ties of iron support
ing the roof gave way, the building col
lapsed and fell in one mass of ruins.
The southwest wall, Is feet high and
IS inches thick, was seen to totter out
ward from the pressure of the falling
roof and a yell went up to appraiSe OF
their danger the fifteen men at work al
this portion of the building. The warn
ing came too late, and twelve of the mer
were buried in a pile of bricks several
feet high Streams of water were poured
on the smoking debris, and as soon as
possible the work Of rescue began.

SLAIN FOR HIS MONEY.
Fate Of Ferdinand NJ ortiz, a Wealthy
Cattle-dealer, at Mil
Waukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 15.-Ferd-
nand Moritz a cattle dealer living at
1922 Central street, left home last Fri
day morning. Nothing was heard from
him until yesterday afternoon, when his
dead body was found just east of the
Pabst farm in the town of Wauwatosa
west of the city. The head was a mass
Of cuts and clotted blood, the clothing
was torn open and between $500 and
$1,000, which Moritz had with him when
he left home, was gone.
When Moritz left home his family sup
posed be had gone out to buy cattle and
expected him home that evening. When
Saturday and Sunday passed without
hearing anything from him they became
alarmed. Monday the police were mott
fed of his disappearance. When found
the man lay on his back, with his right
knee slightly bent and the arms out
stretched. The clothing was all torn
open, as if a search had been made to
see that the man had no money hidden
away. The body was frozen stiff, which
would seem to indicate that it had been
placed where it was before the present
cold snap.
He had a fear of banks and always
carried his money about on his person
None of his family were acquainted with
his business affairs, as he never spoke of
them. On the morning he left home
he said nothing of where he was going
or when he would return. He usually
travelled alone with horse and buggy
The fact that he left home that day on
foot was accepted by his family as an
indication that he would return in the
evening. Moritz's popularity regarding
money matters was known to a great
many persons.
The police believe that, knowing
Moritz Travelled alone usually, some of
those who were aware of his habits
waited a favorable opportunity and killed
him, afterward taking the body to where
it was found. Detectives SO far have al
most nothing to work on.

lured were: Engineer Daily, slightly
bruised, cut in the hip; Fireman Hanley,
slightly cut in face; Baggageman e. r.

it's thousands of remarkable cures, and
the fact that it has a larger sale than
any other sarsaparilla or blood puri-

people have in it. In fact it is the

SERVED IN TWO WARS
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE
THE BULLETS FAILED.
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted in
the Infirmities of the Veteran.

Our SympathieS Always Enlisted in
the Infrnities of the Veteran.
From the Herald, Woodstock, Va.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mexico
and III the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi
McInturff. He passed through both
these wars without a serious wound. The
hardships, however, told seriously On
him. for when the grip attacked him four
years ago it nearly killed him. Who can
look on the infrmities of a veteran with
out feeling of the deepest sympathy !
His townspeople saw him confined to hls
house so FRUSTRATED with great nervous
ness that he could not hold n knife and
fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too, and as he attempted it, he often STUN
bled and fell. They saw him treated by
the best talent to be had-but still he suf-
fered on for four years, and gave UP
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of cure which
had been effected by the use of DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills. He imediately ordered
O box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time The blood found its way to
his fingers and his hands which had been
palsied assumed natural color, and he
was soon enabled to use his knife and
fork of the table. He has recovered his
strength to such an extent that he is able
to chop wood, shock corn and do his regu-
lar work about his home. He now says
he can not only walk to Woodstock, but
can walk across the mountains. He is
able to lift up n fifty-two pound weight
with one hand and says he does not know
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done
for others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day. and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great re-
lief He purchased another box and took
it home with him. Mr.. McInturff is will
ing to make affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors Of Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not patent med
icine but a prescription used for many
years by an eminent practitioner who
produced the most wonderful results With
weakness curing all forms of weakness
arising from watery condition of the
blood or shattered nerves. two fruitful
causes of almost every i'll to which flesh

the troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppressions, all forms of weakness,

etc, and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure

It is said that over 100000 bushels of
oats have been received here this season
from the state of Washington. They
were grown in the Kalispel country
and have come over the Great Northern
road. These shipments are almost as
notable as the shipment of eggs recently
from San Francisco to Chicago. The
Kalispel oats grade about the same as
Minnesota Ne. white, which sells for
about 80 or 81 cents a bushel, and the
wonder is how the shipper can stand the
expense of such a long haul to market.

that country is worth about % cents a
