WITHOUT SECONDS WARNING
The ROOi Fell in and LabOrerS Were 5i.S .s Buried in Ruins.
WORK OF TAKING OUT THE DEAD
Was Immediately Begun, But Was In- a terrupted by an Avalanche of Ce-
 ment and Bricks from the
 Dome of Building.

Detroit, Mich, November 5.-The new five-story Wonderland theater building Is tonight hopeless collapse, and fifteen or more lives have been sacrificed by an ap- pallfng accident which occurred there to- day Shortly before 2 o'clock, while some thirty-five men were at work on various parts of the half-fnished theater, the roof fell in without seconds warning. Nearly every workman was carried down into the theater pit. The top gallery was crushed down upon the lower gallery, forming a hillside, down which slid the broken steel girders, blanks, timbers, brick and great quantity of cement from the roof, and car rying along a struggling company Of men into the pit below, very few of whom es- capped injury The front wall of the building remained practically intact, but the side wall bulged threateningy. The work or rescuing the injured and taking out the ! dead was rushed and good progress made until 5:15, when the upper portion of the east wall fell, a shower of bricks striking around the crowd of laborers, officers and newspaper men, extingushing the tempor- ary electric lights and causing a stampede for the street. Fortunately, no one of those w.o were struck by the second downfall were seriously injured
 Mayor Maybury and other city officials who were on the scene, thereupon decided not to further imperi life in order to save dead bodies, and work was suspended until tomorrow. When the second crash occur red two more bodies were visible in the debris, but they were abandoned for the present.

 Frank Wolfe, and - Betts, metal cor nice makers. ..s.sz.-z
 O. Emalire.
 There were nineteen seriously injured.
 The cause of the catastrophe has not yet been settled. It seems, however, to rest between too much weight on the roof and faulty steel beams used in it's construction. The workers in the building say that there was no warning given of the collapse, the first thing heard being a crash as the roof fell. The lower balcony held firm, which doubtless saved the lives of a~num- Der of the workmen, who were under it. The instant the crash occurred the fire bells were tolled and the firemen rescued a number of those who had fallen on top of the wreckage.
 The property is owned by Patrick Wig gins, partner of James N. Moore, in his combined theater and museum enterprises. The property loss is yet unestimated.

Here there is a peculiar situation growing out of the death of Congressman Love, who had no opposition. The time was too short before the election to permit a marty nomination, and this had the effect of producing two democratic candidates, F. A. McLain and M. M. Evans; populist, N. c.

DUPrNG AN UNDERTAKEN.
"a Lady in Tears" Perpetrates an In
Eenious Fraud in London.

From the Daily Chronicle of London.
An undertaken of Woodgreen is now be-
moaning the duplicity of the world in gen
eral and ladies' in distress in particular.
He was in his establishment on Saturday
afternoon when a lady in deep mourning
and laboring under great emotion entered
and, amid Misunderstanding sobs, informed
him that her two dear little children
had just died of fever in the Tottenham
Hospital She then proceeded to discuss
the probable cost of a first class funeral,
stating she wished no expense to be spar
ed, and asked the undertaken when 1t
would be convenient for him to send a
man up to the hospital to measure the
bodies for their collins. 1t is usual in
these orders to leave a small deposit and
on receiving a hint of this, the lady will
ingly agreed, but on placing her hand in
her pocket she discovered TO her con-
sternation that she must have left her
purse at home.
1t was so unfortunate, she said, her
home was not far away, but there were
some purchases she particularly wished to
make before her return. Would ii be too
much to ask for small loan say five
shillings, and as soon as she got home
she would return and pay it back?
Here she gave her name and an address
Ia Moselle avenue, Noel park, as guar
antee of good faith. Few men can refuse
to grant a favor to a, woman in tears,
more especially if she looks like a highly
remunerative client and with her pro-
posal the undertaken readily complied.
The lady thanked him for releasing her
from a temporary embarrassment, and
left the shop.
In due course a man was sent up to
Tottenham Hospital to measure the two
children, when to his great establishment
the authorities denied all knowledge of
them. The surprised undertaken next
made inquiries in Moselle avenue, but it
is scarcely necessary to add that that
thoroughfare knew her not. 1t has since
transpired that others In the same line of
business have fallen victims to this in
genious fraud and the probability is that
the lady in question is still pursuing her
peculiar line Of business.

ATTEMPT TO POISON TRoops


Bags Filled with Arsenic Put I'm a
Creek at Their Camp.
Atlanta, Ca, May ia special to the
Constitution from Mobile says: "A second
dastardly attempt to poison the infantry
regulars at Camp Mobile has been made.
Several days ago some soldiers found
in the creek which runs alongside the
grounds sack filled with absorbent cot
ton which had been saturated with ar
senic and tied down beneath a rock which
juts out into the stream at a point just
above the place where the soldiers get
their drinking water.
BY accident a trooper discovered the
deadly trap. removed the sack and upon
the contents being revealed. reported his
find to the commanding officer.
Strict orders were given not to mention
the incident and so the matter was hushed
up.
Since that day. however, the creek has
been closely watched and vigilance was
rewarded when Corpl. John Sullivan of
Company A., Nineteenth Infantry, found
a poison bag loaded with arsenic and anch-
ored down just as in the first instance.
''The correspondent by chance overheard
two soldiers talking of the plot to poison
them and instituted an Investigation. The
officers preferred not 10 discuss the mat
ter, but among the privates feeling is run
ming high. and they do not fail to express
themselves.
Spanish spies are known to be lurking
in the neighborhood where a number of
Spaniards reside. They are oil under
strict scrutiny. and sensational disclosures
are looked for. No one doubts that agents
of Spain are responsible"

in by the President yesterday were from

question when the reference of the nom

Bate, Bacon and Lindsay all commented
upon the fact Their speeches were not
in the nature of faulthnding. but the
omission, they said, was patent to all.
They also called attention to the fact
that the South had comparatively few Off
GERS in the regular army and none Of high
rank, owing to the effect in this respect of
the civil war, and said that while the
Southern states would be just as loyal in
the present war whether or not they re-

as were other sections of the country.
