BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Three-St0ry 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 TO
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 heap.
Of the fourteen workmen F. c. 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.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 17.-Gov.

Thousands Of homes are better for your

sCta 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 te 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
IKrIi La r
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 lOuTlu uOOT VI the COURT mousse, ana
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 On 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 Nell
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 were 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
mfttee 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
the branch which has been so success
full.

Wreckers have recovered ten six-inch

Extracts from letters to the editor
HOTEL DE LA GRoTTE BLEUE.
CAPRI, ITALY, Feb &c, 1898.

1t is raining to-day, preventing us from
taking any walks Oh This beautiful island,
so guess I'll take this time to tell you
about our seeing the Pope.
This month being the twentieth ami
versary of the election of the Pope, many
pilgrims had crowded to Rome. Every
year the Pope reads mass for the pilgrims
but usually in some small chapel in the
Vatican The pilgrims this year num-
bered 20 900, and he was forced to receive
them in ST. Peters cathedral.
Everybody being anxious to go, it was
very difficult to get tickets, especially as
they were not to be sold We got ours
from the American college. The mass
was to have begun at $50, but we were
obliged to wait an hour more; not until
$50 did the silver trumpets announce
the Pope's approach. During that hour
we We're entertained by watching what
was going on in the middle aisle.
Then the noble guard of the Pope, in
full uniform, marched down the aisle ,other
guards filed up along the aisle. After the
choir boys and cardinals had passed up the
aisle toward the Vatican to join the papal
procession, loud cheers were heard from
the crowd of $1,000 people who We're wait
ing so impatiently to receive the blessing
from Pope Leo XIII.
Everybody pushed forward to get bet
ter glance at His Holiness, and no won
der, for it was an impressive sight-to see
the Pope seated in the gestatorial chair,
with the great fans waving on each side,
and the scarlet-robed cardinals, together
with the exquisite banners of the different

clear and white are they. They say
that he eats very little. He looks rather
feeble, but no more so than may be ex-
pected of a person eighty years of
age. His hands trembled all the time, but
perhaps it was from emotion caused by
the loud shouts and cheers of the enthu-
siastic pilgrims. He certainly was very
much moved by the affection shown him
by them.
The music was grand and was heard to
advantage in the immense cathedral The
anthems sung by the soprano voices of
the choir, led by the Pope's angel Signor
Moresque, added to the solemnity of the
occasion.
The mass lasted an hour and three
quarters. The crowd was even more en-
thusiastic after the service than when he
entered, and shouts of 'rird il Papar'

time he assembled his chair until he dis

The square in front of st. Peters was
packed afterwards. Most of the women
were dressed entirely in black with black
wells on their heads. Only with certain
tickets, reserved ones, | believe, was it
compulsory to dress in this way. The
men were obliged to wear dress suits if
they had those tickets.
We had given up all hopes of seeing the
Pope. People said that he seldom leaves
the Natcan-so seldom that he calls himself
voluntary prisoner. Some people have
the chance of being present at one of the
private interviews in the Vatican, but one
needs special influence for this At these
private interviews one has the pleasure of
speaking to him.
