FEARFUL FALL ID DEATH Two Men the Victims of an Un-
 known Demon. DERRICK TEMPERED WITH Miraculous Escape of Others at Work on the Buildng-Four Men Hold Up Bank
 One Captured Pursued.

Atlanta, Ga. June 2S.-A derrick on he roof of a new building fell at 10 o'clock this morning, knocking three workmen from scaffold on the ninth story. Two of thsm were dashed to instant death on the ground 125 feet below, and the third was saved in a miraculous way.
 THE KILLED.
 PALMETTO AYREs, colored, aged 40, living at Austel.
 CHFARLES KARGILL colored, aged 3e, of Ghis city.
 William Brown, white carpenter, was cut about the head and arms.
 The men were standing on a platform, which skirted the edge of the ninth floor when she derrick fell. The part of the scaffolding upon which they stood was swept away and the men were thrown into space.
 Brown grasped one of the ropes as he shot through the air. At las, the boom on the hoisting engine was knocked down and the ropes were set in motion. Brown was fortunate enough 10 catch the rope and he was drawn up, landing safely on the upper floor. To another portion of the derrick was attached a car in which four men were standing. This boom like wise fell, but was held up by the roof. The car was dashed over dhe edge of the building and swung there in safety. The men crawled through a window. none of them being injured.
 MT. Cannon, superintendent of der ricks, was seen, and said:
 The killing of these two men was no accident. It was in my opinion plot on the part of some one at work on this building that the derrick should fall.
 'iIn the first place" continued MT. Gam mon, "the clips which held the guy ropes in place have never been known to slip except in this particular case. have examined the clips and find shat they are quite loose. Then these clips would not be in such a condition unless they had been tam psred with, and for that reason it was to the interest of some one in this build ing that this derrick should fall.
 Tn the second place, these derricks are capable of raising five tons, and we only had two and half tons on them when they fell. The clips would never have slipped unless they had been tempered

The Premier Declares the Government
Need Duke or Tetunn's Services.
Madrid. May a. - In conference
held ON Saturday between the president
# the senate. the premier and Senior
sagasta, with reference To the Tetuan-
Comas incident the president said he
would not joe justified In interfering,
as the affair had not occurred in the
senate chamber, but IN the lobby. The
premier declared that the opposition
ought TO be satisfied If the Duke of
Tetuan announced in the senate cham
Der that he never intended to slight or
give offense to the Liberal minority.
lie added that the government could
not dispense with the Duke of Tetuan's
services as minister of foreign affairs,
because he alone was acquainted with
and able to conduct important and deli
cate pending NEGOTIATIONS with foreign
mountaineering America.
Senior sagasta promised to give his
followers Couciliatory advice, but said
he must be guided by their decision.
Accodiugly he summoned a meeting Of
the Liberals who were in no concll-
iatory temper However, after a pro-
longod discussion, they gave a vote of
confidence TO Senor Sagasta. with in
strucuons TO settle the conflict ON the
understanding that they would not en-
ter the cortes until the government had
given them such satisfaction as Senoi
Sagasta deemed proper.
The dissenuent Conservatives intl-
mated that they would follow the de-
cisiou of the Liberals, and therefore
only the Ministeralists have been pres
ent i'm parliament since Friday.
The premier on receiving the reply
of Senor Sagasta. went to the palace
! to inform the queen regent, who sum
moned a council of ministers. The cri.
sis has Withdrawn popular attention
from the attitude of the United states
senate, which a majority of the news
papers and Of the ministers affects tC
consider without importance as bear
ing upon the immediate relations of
the two countries.
Seldom i'm the history of the cortes
| has an event created such a sensation
as the Tetuan-Comas incident It is
difficult to conceive how a staid and
experienced statesman like the Duke
of Tetuan could have so completely
lost his self control on so slight q

EDITOR O'DONNELL, of the Ameri-
can, has worked himself into frenzy
over the controversy as to the manner
i'm which his employer voted on the
labor bill, to such an extent that
fears are entertained for his safety.
We can assure our editorial brother
that his frenzy is entirely uncalled
for, and that an indulgence in Bill
insgate and street slang viii avail
him naught so far as the HERALD is
concerned. The Senator from thi,
district is a servant of the people
and his actions are not only subject
to public criticism, but it is the duty
of public journals to inform the
voters how their representatives vote
on questions of public interest. This
is all the HERALD has done and viii
continue TO do. We have no desire
to misrepresent anyone, and least of
all our friend O'Douuells employer.
We have given the statement of both
sides to the controversy, and among
them the Americans denial that its
owner voted against the bill More
we could not DO. AS we have previ-
ously stated, there is a wide differ
ence of opinion among our contemp-
oraries upon the subject, and when
the Legislative Record reaches our
table it will then be positively known
how the two Senators from this
county voted on the Weller labor
bin, and their record win be laid be
fore our readers.

the miners investigating committee

three-quarters of the time, because

Increased facilities for preparing coal
