His voice has been heard at national conventions and he was a favorite, but he was defeated by Charles H. Garrish, republican, who has been MT. Kurtz's close lieutenant in the organization of the opposition to Hanna. The slate went through for all minor places by the same vote. The result of the organization of the legis- lature again revived rumors that the Hanna men would combine with the gold democrats for the election Uf Calvin $.

The Audience Buried in the
 Runs of a Floor
A Hugo Safe Tumble Into the Mass Of Struggling Humanity-TWsnty Were Taken Out Oead-Many Fatally Injured.

London, Ont, Jan. 3.-Twenty per sons are known to have been killed and many injured by the collapse of a floor in the city hall tonight. To- night closed the municipal campaign and the hall was crowded to hear the addresses of the successful candidates, The building was crowded to the very door. Probably 2,000 people were damned in it's narrow space. There was a Hull in the proceedings when the audience called for several of the newly elected aldermen at once and speaker to address them. In response to numerous calls, R. M. Toothe was pushed forward to the platform on which the speaker stood.
 AS he reached it there was an omi- nous cracking and the raised platform on which the mayor and the newly elected aldermen were seated seemed to pitch forward to the floor. There was sagging of timbers and the next moment 15O people were hurled to the floor below. A beam running twenty feet across the center of the hall had given away and the crowded mass standing above that section of the floor was thrown in a. heap to the bottom. A large safe stood in one corner of the hall and with huge steam coil weigh ing half ton came crashing down on the heads of the victims.
 Following the crash there was a wild rush for the doors, but no C was killed in tie panic.
 The deaths resulting from the wreck ing of the city hall numbered thirty and it is said that the list is likely to be even larger, many oe the injured be- ing in serious condition Owing to the fact that many of the injured were carried to their homes it Is difficult to gather the names.

Why Do We Ynwnf

There can be little doubt that one OF
the objects of yawning is the exercise Of
muscles which have been for long
time quiesoent, and the acceleration OF
the blood and lymph flow which has in
consequence of this quiescence become
sluggish; hence its frequency after one
has remained for some time in the same
position-for example, when waking in
the morning.
Cooperating with this cause is sleepi-
ness and the shallow breathing which it
entails. This factor, as we'll as muscle
quiescence, is apt to attend the sense of
boredom which one experiences in listen-
ing to dull sermon; hence it is that
the bored individual is apt to yawn. As
in the case of signing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawning
compensates for the shallow breathing
which is SO apt to excite it.-New York

The Oldest Pntcnt.

The question as to the holder of the
oldest patent i'll this country has brought
out from the heirs of Joseph Jencks
some additional facts which tend to
show that he was the first inventor in
this country. Patents granted from the
sovereign power of England for land,
water and other privileges were not un-
common in early colonial times. Joseph
Jencks of Lynn. Mass, a number of
years previous to receiving a patent for
an invention Of a scythe had been
granted one for ian application of wa
ter power to mills" Biographical notes
state that Mr.. Jencks introduced to the
Massachusetts, colony the idea of patent
ing inventions, and that he might pro-
tect and introduce his ideas seems TO
have been q reason for coming to the
new country. The grass scythe patented
in 1869 was perhaps the most valuable
of his inventions. The improvement
over the old English scythe, with its
short, thick blade, like bush scythe,
consisted in lengthening the blade,
making it thinner and welding a square
bar at the back and strengthening it,
To-day this scythe, practically unchang
ed, is used in Europe and America The
patent was withheld from Mr.. Jencks
for nine years, as it was thought to be
too valuable to be monopolized.-Hart-
