figures for changing grades and in
creasing the capacity and facilities of
that system from Parkersburg, on the
Ohio river, to Cincinnati, Louisville,
st. Louis and other points. 1t seems
certain that the Southwestern system
is to receive great improvements under
the plans of reorganization, and that
the old owners and officials are promin-
emily identified with the new organiZa-
ton that has secured the property, but
it does not sem possible to ascertain
whether ]. j. Hill and others are to
be such factors in the future opera
ton of the lines as has been indicated
by the recent advices from Chicago.
MIR. BACON AFFIIRIS.
President Bacon, of the Baltimore &
Southwestern Railway company, who
has been engaged for some time with
the New York committee, Speyer &
Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., bankers,
and the receivers, in assisting in the
readjustment of the affairs of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad company, was
interviewed before the arrival of the
Chicago party.
He was reluctant to discuss the mat
ter, but after being advised that it
had been published in Chicago, New
York and this city, he said a number
of representative men interested with
large railway, manufacturing and COM
mercial interests in the Northwest,
Chicago, New York and other cities on
the company's line, had been, for some
time, negotiating for the purchase of a
very substantial interest in the Balti-
more & Ohio road, and that such ne
gOtiatiOnS had been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion. That under the re-
organization ample means had been
provided for cutting down grades, in
creasing capacity and facilities of the
road, and putting it in a condition to
promptly and economically handle
largely increased business. That the
reorganization managers had also de-
cided that the subsidiary lines, includ-
ing the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern, should be likewise treated, and
arrangements were now being con-
Guided to readjust the affairs of such
lines and secure capital TO put them in
the same condition as the main line.

BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Three-StOry Structure In Butte,

Three-StOry Structure In Butte,
Mont, Reduced to Ruins.
BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 1.-THE York
building, a three-stOry brick structure
on West Park street, collapsed, today,
carrying down sixteen persons, bury
Ing some Of them, but so far as can be
learned, killing no one.
The building was used for stores on
the lower floor and lodging rooms
above. The lower floor was being re-
modelled, to be used as a dry goods
store. The partition through the CEN
ter, which helped to support the floor
above had been torn out, thus weaken
ing the upper part of the building. Sud-
denly the whole building was felt 70
culver. The WOrkmen made a dash for
safety, but some of them were caught
The front wall, floor and roof from the
front to within twenty feet Of the rear,
came down in u heap.
OF the fourteen WOrkmen F. G. Yea
ger, William Barker, James Myers,
Samuel Corkill, John Zellner, Henry
Shadinger, F. S. WoodcOck and John
Foote were injured their hurts consist
ing principally Of bruises and cuts.
Mrs. Annie McCaughey, who had
charge of the third floor lodgings, was
on the second floor at the time. She
went down, clear to the bottom Of the
wreck. Her shoulder blade was brok-
en-, and she was badly bruised by a
beam. Miss Mollie Kuehn, her daugh-
ter, occupied a room on the third floor
near the middle of the building When
she felt the building rock she slipped
out the rear, and escaped to the roof
Of an adjoining building.
Mrs. Annie Bertch and her sister,
Miss Mary Sullivan, were in the rear
Of the building. They jumped from the
rear window to the roof of another
house and escaped.
Col. P. R. Dallman was on the second
floor near the rear and the rush Of air
threw him back into the uninjured part
Of the building.
1t will be several days before the
wreck can be cleared up. The people
in charge Of the house say all have
been accounted for, but it is possible
that the search of the ruins that are
now being made will reveal some
bodies.

WINE WILL HAVE TO BE USED.
Gov. Tanner Declines to Suggest
Water for Christening Battle
ship Illinois.


ship Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 7.-Gov.
Tanner has decided the battleship Il
linois shall be christened in champagne,
and today sent the following letter to
Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, Jesse Brown
Hilton and Helen L. Wood, the COM
mittee Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, whe protested against
christening the battleship with wine:
Ladies: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your letter of the 10th inst,
replying to which will say that it is with
pleasure l pay my highest respect to the no.
bic women of your unioa and acknowledge
with profound appreciation the excellent good
you are laboring to establish. / would con-
slider 1t privilege to be able to assist you.
Thousands Of homes are better for your
guardianship; thousands of hearts are CRATE
full to you for your Christian aid, and the
world Is better for having known the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union. In the
matter, however, Of the time honored custom
of christening battleships, there is no desc
Grafton of the laws of temperance. The cera-
mony is not one from which any evil could
possibly be set forth, and the most sacred re-
ligtous ordnance, the Sacrament" which the
world respects with deepest solemnity and
honor, Is one in which wine is used as
symbol. Therefore I dismiss the subject as
one unworthy of so much agitation. If left
to me the battleship Illinois will be christen-
ed according to the time-honored custom.
Very truly yours, John R. Tanner.

sofa streets. The room for the pur-
pose, is nearly twice as large as the
one which it is proposed to set apart
for the use Of the board in the city
hall, and is fitted up with all the nee
essary conveniences, including large
safe, desks and tables, telephones and
everything else that could be asked
The board while an important factor
in the city government holds but, two
meetings each month, and these on an
average last nearly an hour. Except
at these times the commissioners have
no need for an office at any place
Ever since the contract was let for
the putting in Of the new fire alarm
system several members of the board
have been agitating the question of
having offices in the city hall. 1t was
decided by the board that it would be
dangerous t. have the new alarm sys-
tenn in the central fire hall as the build
ing might burn and the city lose the
$4,000, and three rooms in the base
ment of the city hall were selected and
set apart by the city hall and court
house commission in which to put the
new plant.
This having been arranged Presi-
dent Arosin turned his attention to Sc
curing offices for the board in the city
hall. The building is small for the
number of city and county offices which
of necessity must have rooms in it to
accommodate the public.
The president of the fire board, how
ever recognizing the Importance of the
Il III 1,o
clared that room must be made in the
city hall for the commissioners. The
building committe from the court house
and city hall commission was given
charge Of the application of the fire
board with power to act.
President Arosin selected the rooms
now occupied by the board of control,
but the committee could not hear him
or rather listened to the board of con-
troll, and the fire board was informed
1t could have another guess and selec-
ton.
This time the rooms occupied by
Judges Orr and Hine, Of the municipal
court, as private officers were chosen.
The civil branch of the municipal court
was removed from the basement to
the fourth floor Of the court house, and
placed in the room in which the grand
jury when in session gathers.
Two adjoining rooms were set apart
for the private use of the judges, and
then the cOmmitte en- buildings from
the court house commission started on
a hunt to secure a grand jury room.
A canvass of the building was made
and then with unanimity Messrs Mel
son, Hardick and Ref decided that the
juvenile department of the public Ii
brary would have to move back into
the cramped quarters occupied by the
library proper. The directors Of the
library We're notified Of the decision of
the committee and will have a special
meeting tomorrow at o'clock to con-
slider the matter.
1t is possible that the library di-
reCtors may create such a sentiment
over the proposed change that the COM
mtttee from the commission may re-
consider it's action, but if not the ju-
Venile department. of the library Will
be closed.
The directors state that 1t is impos-
sible to make room in the present
crowded space in the library proper for
the department, and see no other way
out of the difficulty than to abandon

WASHINGTON, June 8. According to
the calculations of the officials of the
navy department, the United States
cruiser Charleston arrived at Hon
olulu last Saturday. She has prob
ably completed the taking aboard
of full coal supply and is now
again on her way westward, bound
for the Philippine islands. The coal
was accumulated at Honolulu by
the United States consul general, Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston
to take on supply to carry on opera
tions against Spanish territory the
government of Hawaii has cast away
all semblance of neutrality in the
present contest and has thrown in her
fortunes with the United States, for,
unless we protect her, she is subject to
punishment at the hands of Spain.
