ing u specified time. A public-spirited cttf-
zen of the West Side hired a man to stand
at the crossing and count the number OF

GALLERY COLLAPSES.
Forty Persons Injured in an Acct
dent at Fall River, Mass,
Polo Rink.

Fall River, Mass, Feb. pa terrible
accident occurred in the roller polo rink,
last night. There We're 1000 people in
the rink to see Fall River and New Bed
ford play, and the galleries were as
crowded as the seating space about the
surface. Suddenly, the gallery on the
east side of the rink fell. More than
forty men and boys were injured, many
of them seriously.
The most seriously injured are: Cor
nelius Sullivan, John May. Nelson May
nard, Mark Hograth Alfred Lyme, 10
seph Lewis, George Cusick, John Has
sey, Thomas Schofield, Alfred Martin,
Sebastian Bigby, Richard Powers, Fred
Falky, Michael OHalloran. Charles
Cash, Thomas Sullivan.
Under the gallery that fell there was
a solid mass of spectators, and when the
crashing timbers gave them slight warn
ing, the rush for safety was terrific.
Owing to the high and strong wire net
ting between the seats and the surface,
it was impossible for people to get from
under the falling gallery and dozens were
caught and held until others had pulled
away the mass of ruins.

That Honor is Conferred On Dunraven in
England.
London, Feb. 2S.-Lord Dunraven to-
day was gazetted lord lieutenant of
Limerick.
Commenting this afternoon on the ex-
pulsion of Lord Dunraven from the New
York Yacht club the st. James Gazette
says: '"The New York Yacht club very
properly has expelled Lord Dunraven,
and we not only regret that the credit
of British craftsmanship was ever iden-
titled with man who can behave so bad
". His charges were improbable and
his refusal to accept the decision of the
committee was sheer piece of childish
obstinacy."
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
"The result is deplorable, but is no sur
prise"
The Globe does not take such broad
view of the situation as the ST. James
Gazette and Westminster Gazette, for it
says: "The proceedings of the New
York Yacht club are growing more and
more peculiar and we are at a loss to
understand them. except the very ugly
hypothesis that the motion to expel him
was in unnecessarily offensive TERMS

incidents which had impressed the mar

prayer from an old negro said Editor
Woolard. cit was at the time Sher-
man had pushed through Georgia, and
everybody was 'cussing' him constant

sorbed the language of his master, al
though his sympathies were all the
other way. He was in the midst of

a big meetin',' when he lifted his eyes
to heaven and exclaimed as a grand
finale, And now, Lawd, bless dem

words. 1t was what he always heard
them called. Atlanta Journal.
