GREAT DISASTERS.
A Building Wrecked and its Occu-
pants Buried I'm the Ruins.

The city of Cincinatti, o., and vicin-
ity was greatly excited Monday night
over the explosion of large tank OF
gasoline, which completely demolished
the five-storY' building 430 and 432
Walnut street. After the explosion the
widest reports we're current as to the
loss of life. Before midnight it was
known that six were killed and eigh-
teen injured. General estimates Of
killed and wounded greatly exceeded
this number. The explosion did not
carry the debris any distance from the
building, nor even obstruct the
street in front of it. The building
seemed 10 collapse, so that the pile of
Debris was covered by the tin roof and
after working several hours it was
found that the only way to rescue the
victims was to remove the immense
mass of brick and timber. According
ly vorkmen were put at it, as many OF
them as could work on it. The debris
was being shoveled by one force out
into the street and into the rear alley;
all available teams were secured for
another force of men to load it up and
put it out of the way of the rescuing
party, who were working OF the i'm
mense pile of ruins. This was found to
be the only practical means Of reach
ing those who we're on the lower floors.
All those who were rescured had
been on the upper floors, except some
who were thrown out into the street.
While this work was going on holes
were cut through the foundations of
adjacent buildings and debris was
taken out and three lives we're saved by
persons being rescued in that manner.
The explosion took place four doors
from the intersection of Fifth and
Walnut streets, where the postoffice is
located on one side and Fountain
Square on the other. No part of the
city is crowded more at that time OF
the evening than this and there were
soon many thousands of people around
Fountain Square and the space around
the government building, while Walnut
street was completely blockaded. There
we're at first reports about fireworks
being stored in the buildings, and also
about dynamite and ammunition, sc
that there were several stampedes in
the immense crowds on reports about
other explosions being likely to follow.
Several people were slightly hurt IN
these stampedes.

Tmo-MnI Tax AnnuIIed.

Quite an important decision was rem
dered by Judge Hall in the district
court at Mansfield Saturday evening.
On Dec. 2 last there was an election
held on the question of voting a i've
mill tax for two years in aid OF the
Kansas City, Shreveport and Gulf rail-
road, and resulted in favor of the tax.
A number of tax payers opposed to the
tax brought suit to annul the election
on various grounds. the principal point
being raised wss that majority IN
numbers and value of the entire prop
erty tax payers of the parish had not
voted in favor of the tax. Judge Hall
held that under article 242 of the CON
stitution it was necessary that the tax
be voted for by majority in numbers
and value of the entire tax payers OF
the parish. and not a majority only OF
those voting at the election.

Within the Inner Court Of the Shrine the

He is SHOT DOWN BY A FANATIC.
Assassin Disguised as Woman and
Fired at Close Range--The Bullet
Entered the Region of the Heart of
the Ruler.

While the Shah of Persia was enter
ing the inner court of the Shrine of
Shah Abdul Aim, SIX miles south of
Teheran, Friday afternoon, ho was
shot and killed.
Immediately after the Shah was shot
he was carried to, his carriage and in
it conveyed TO the palace in Teheran.
There he was attended by DIR. Thol-
oean, MS chief physician, and other
physicians, who were hastily sent for.
But, in spite of their combined efforts,
his majesty died soon after his arrival
at the palace, or at about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The assassin, who was promptly ar
rested, is said to be Sayid from Ker-
man or from the province of that
name. It is believed that the murder.
er has accomplices.
The heif apparent, Muzaf-Eo-ed-
Din, was Immediately advised of the
assassination of his father, and will
leave Tabriz, where he was sojourning,
for Teheran as soon as possible,
Quiet prevails in Teheran and nc
disorder is apprehended as result o.
the murder of the Shah.
Nagir-ed-Din, Shah of Persia, wa
born April "a, 1929, and succeeded Il
the throne on September 10, 184s, OF
the death of his father. He wal

der was the deed of fanatic and Wa
not the outcome of any especially de

which has hitherto made attempts mp
on the Shah's life with a shot from

A Word, a Blow and Pistols were Used.
A hand-to-hand encounter took place
Friday at Oak Ridge, in Moorehouse
parish, with pistols, between II. +.
Madison, a prominent lawyer of Bas-
trop, and Mr.. j @. Nettles, large
merchant of Oak Ridge. The trouble
grew out of some business transaction.
Madison, who was insulted by Nettles,
promptly resented it by blow, when
both drew pistols and commenced
firing. They fired rapidly at each
other at close quarters, Madisonfiring
four shots and Nettles five. At Nettles'
fourth fire Madison was shot through
the right arm, and his pistol dropped
to the ground. He then ran in and
charged Nettles with his left hand.
Nettles fired his fifth and last shot
without effect. They we're then sepa-
rated, and on examination it was found
that Madison received only the one
shot in the arm and Nettles two shots,
one in the side, which, however,
ranged around, and another in the
right arm Just below the shoulder,
which passed through the arm and
penetrated the side.

Some Believe 1t Due to His Co.OpPra'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5,-The Rt. Rev
John j. Keene, rector of the Catholic
university, has received a letter from
the pope, requesting his resignation as
head of the institution, on the expressed
ground that the pope favors rotation in
Office. Bishops Spalding of Peoria and
Hortsman ofn Cleveland are mentioned
as probable successors. Bishop Keene
will be made an archbishop, with sec
in this country, or live at Rome, ac.
cording to his liking. He has decided
TO stay in this country.
The current belief among some OF
the prominent Catholics of Washing.
ton is that one of the reasons for Bishop
Keane's resignation may be found in
his cooperation with Archbishop Ire,
land in fostering the liberal spirit as
against the old regime. Bishop Keane
has made public the correspondence
between him and the pope and state.
ment which shows that he has no such
idea.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 5.-In an interview re-
Rarding the resignation of BiNhoT
Keane, Archbishop Ireland said the
telegram was misleading; that the
pope's letter simply establishes for tht
Washington university the rule which
generally obtains in other Catholic uni
versities that the term of Office of rectol
be limited to fixed number Of years.
