Frightful Accidents at Three

Mining Horror in Michfgan-TwO Brick
Buildings Wrecked by a Gas
ExDlOsiOu.

Buffalo. N. Y, May 25.-The old
Brown building, at the corner of Main
and Seneca streets, formerly occupied
by the Western Union, collapsed to-
day. The portion that fell was being
reconstructed. The cause OF the col
lapse is supposed to have been the Civ
ing way of props. Many carpenters
were working on the building, and the
barber shop of Morris Jones was full of
customers. There were perhaps, fifteen
or twenty people in the building. Two
have been taken out fatally injured.
George Metz, barber, died at the hos
pital; Mike O'Brien, a carpenter, back
broken, is dying.
When the Western Union moved out
of the Brown building, decrepit
structure of forty years standing, con-
tractors were employed to remodel it.
This they attempted to do by running
braces under the floor joists, which
were held up by piers.
The immediate cause of the collapse
was removal of part of the founda-
ton walls. There were few tenants
in the building.
Another body, that of an unknown
man was recovered after several hours
labor by fremen.

CANADA'S COAST DEFENSE.
Three Cruisers Wanted to Protect Do
miniOn Coasts.

Three Cruisers Wanted to Protect Do
miniOn Coasts.
Halifax, N. S., May %. - The
scheme of coast def ense, which is being
prepared for submission to the Cana
dian government, intimates that three
cruisers will be necessary on the At
lantic, to cover the Gulf Of st. Law
renee and the coast waters of Nova
Scotia and the bay of Fundy.
The idea is that the United States is
rapidly developing strong navy on
the Atlantic, with headquarters at New
York, Boston and other ports, and is
also substituting merchant steamers
built under the naval requirements of
the United States.
The case of the new plant steamer
La Duchesse, is quoted as an instance
of this. The danger from such vessels
is said to be one that must be guarded
against by the construction of similar
ships.
A fast American cruiser, running
from Boston to st. Johns Yarmouth,
Halifax and Prince Edwards island,
gets an intimate knowledge of the coast
and will be in position, in time OF
trouble, to destroy one after another
every outpost of Nova Scotia or to lay
them under ransom. This will be out
lined in the coast defense scheme.

London, May 22.-It is learned on
high authority that the Armenian
question is about to enter new phase.
At this moment movement is on foot
here, in Paris and Brussels, in favor OF
q reconciliation of the Armenians with
Turkey. There is reason to believe
this movement has been started with
the consent of the sultan. He has been
impressed by the regretable state OF
affairs in Anatolia, created by the sad
events of the past year. 1t is neces-
sary, however, that the well-inten-
toned section of Armenians should
come forward honestly and endeavor to
forget the past and boldly make an APP
peal to the personal sentiments OF the
sultan; in other words, grasp the hand
which is already as good as rendered.
This turn of affairs would be received
with deep sense OF relief among En-
glish politicians Of both parties.

ing Recognized by China.
New York, May 22.-The Chinese
government has awakened to the fact
that the recent defeat by Japan was
due entirely to the inculcation in the
latter nation of Western methods.
In view of possible future complica-
itons, the Chinese government has de-
cided to recognize the superiority Of
foreign training. AS result, twenty
Chinese boys ranging in age from 10 to
10 years will soon make their appear
ance in this country. Unlike their
predecessors, these visitors come as
children to become skilled in mechani-
cal arts.
The youngsters will come over in
care of Rev. Hui Kin, superintendent
of the Presby mission, who is a
graduate of an American college, and
the third Chinaman to be ordained in
this country. Rev. Kin left for Japan
in January, and according to his re-
ports, preached the gospel with success
in Toxic. Thence he went to China.
He found that government busy with
the problem of the advanced education

it's young men were being sent, at
government expense. to Germany and

Electric Railway Accident.

Oakland, May IA passenger car

None of the passengers are dangerously

bruises and cuts from broken glass.
The motorman and conductor were the
only ones on the car who escaped un-
hurt Some Of the passengers were
taken to the hospital by the patrol
wagon and others went to their homes
The car was going at high speed, and
just as it struck the upgrade the fange
on one of the forward wheels broke,
and the car left the track, turning COM
pletely over and colliding with vege-
table wagon. That the passengers
were not more seriously hurt is consid-
cred a1kable.

TELSA'S GREAT INVENTION.
Important Discovery in the Art of
Electric Lighting.

Important Discovery in the Art of
Electric Lighting.
New York, May 25.-Nioola Telsa
has solved the problem which he set
himself many years ago and which may
revolutionize the system of electric
lighting. It is, electrical experts say,
the nearest to the perfect adaptat ton of
the great force to the uses of man.
In Mr.. Telsa's labora tory is a bulb
not more than three inches in length,
which, when the current is turned into
it, becomes a ball of light, and the
heat is almost imperceptible. With it,
large room is so lighted that it is
possible to read in any corner. Yet
this is done without films and without
the attachments necessary in existing
lights. The rays are so strong that
the sharpest photographs may be taken
by them. No dynamo is required to
produce the current. The bulb is at
tached to wire connected with the
street current, and there is no danger
of harmful shock in its use.
Stories have come from Mr.. Telsa g
laboratory that he was experimenting
in light Of this sort. Rumors of sue
cess and failure have followed each
other, and bis friends were inclined to
doubt that he would succeed Friends
who recently visited Mr.. Telsa saw
him photograph by means of the light.
The exposure was but two seconds, in
the light of a single vacuum tube or
bulb, without electrodes, and having a
volume of about 80 cubic inches. The
light given was approximately $50
candle-power. The photograph was as
sharp in outlines as though it were
taken in the full sunlight.
Mr.. Telsa has recently obtained
many photographs in his study Of
Roentgen rays. He has photographed
the heart of one of his assistants so &C.
curately as to note its expansions and
its contractions, and he has also been
able to locate defects in the lungs Of
several persons, the presence of tuber.
culosis being evident.

Eight Men EntOmbed Alive.

Ironwood, Mich, May 25.-Eight
men were buried in cave. in at the
Ashland mine this morning. Large
crews of men are drifting toward the
imprisoned men in the hope of resouing
them.
The buried are: Ed Opie. Paul
Nichols, Peter Moran, Ed Vansicus,
Beckman, John FL. Holman, John Col
Inns, Peter Gura and an unknown.
The men were working at drifting
on the third level, 800 feet from the
surface, when the cave-in occurred.
Captain Thomas Williams rushed to
the scene. At that time no great
amount of ground had fallen and Will
liams was able to communicate with
the imprisoned men. They were all
unframed and said that with a rope
they could be rescued. Captain Will
liams went for help, but before he re-
turned another huge piece of ground
fell and it was impossible to reach the
men. 1t is still possible to communi-
cate with them, however, by signals,
and it is known that at lea, It some of
them are alive.

A CASE OF ALLEGED ISLANDER.
One Sidney Butcher Alleged to Have Said
Another's Meat Wasn't Right.

Sidney has a sensation in the first
degree. 1t seems that Arthur Ward
has been arrested on a writ in favor OF
Amos r. Sawtelle, on charge OF
SANDER. Both men are butchers, and
are said to do a smashing good bust
Eess.
The plaintiff in the case alleges that
Ward has been telling untruths about
his, the plaintiffs, meat. saying that it
was not right, not fit to eat, etc, etc
and that he was selling it about among
his customers.
OF course this made trouble. Sidney
people didn't like to have that feeling
that they were buying diseased meat,
and became careful. To recover, Mr..
Sawtele has brought in a suit for
SANDER.
The writ was served on Ward by
Deputy Sheriff Bean. The former gave
$1,000 bonds for his appearance in the
October court.
