MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
Doings of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING.
Roof OF New Theater CoIiapses at De-
troit Killing Twelve Men and Severely
Iujuring Nearly u Score of Others
Our Troops Go to Cuba.
Dreadful Disaster mt Detroit.

The new Wonderland building, on
Monroe avenue, near the Campus Mar
thus, Detroit, was nearing completion
and was almost ready for dedication
as a playhouse for the people when
one of the most terrible castrophes oc-
Cured ever known in the history of
the Michigan metropolis.
A newly patented roof, was just be-
ing completed. 1t consisted of heavy
trusses laced between with iron rods
in which was laid four inches of
cement and on this a thick layer of
concrete. This made an absolutely
fire-proof roof and it was also of great
weight.
There were about 30 men employed
in the structure, when, without an in
stant's warning, the entire roof fell in
upon them carrying the upper gallery
floor and an immense amount of scat
folding and temporary work down to
the lower floor. The workmen were
buried under an indescribable mass of
debris consisting of heavy iron and
steel work-broken and twisted as
though they were lath-timbers of all
kinds, brick, cement and mortar.
Fortunately but small portion of
either wall fell or it is likely not a
man in the building would ever have
escaped alive. The walls were left
standing in a dangerous condition.
The noise of the falling, crushing,
grinding mass was followed by the
cries and groans of the poor fellows in
the ruins. The fire department and
hospital ambulances were on the scene
in very short time and even then the
work of rescue had been begun by
spectators who risked their lives under
the dangerous walls. An immense
crowd soon blocked the street. Within
half an hour seven mangled forms had
been removed and sent to the hospitals
and morgue. and the work was con-
tinued until IL dead bodies had been
removed and Is badly injured work
men had been sent to the hospitals.
Two of the latter will probably die.
While the work of rescue was going
on at night by the aid of electric lights
which had been hastily put in, por-
ton of the east wall fell when about
$50 persons were in the building. Most
of the brick fell outside the structure,
however, and no one was severely in
jured, although score were scratched
and bruised in their efforts to reach
the street.
The owners of the building, the
architect and the contractors declare
that they cannot say what was the
cause of the catastrophe. But thor
ough investigation will be made and
the blame placed if possible. Mayor
Maybury called a mass meeting of citi
zens at which 81, 200 was raised as
nucleus of fund to assist the families
of the dead and injured. The financial
loss was about $50, 600

Michigan Regiments Go to Cuba.

send the First, Second and Seventh
army corps to Cuba, the movement to
begin at once. The First corps will
be the first large body of troops to take
up headquarters in the island and Col
Gardeners 31st Michigan volunteers
will be located at Cienfuegos. The
Second and Seventh corps will have
their headquarters near Havana,
which means that the 35th Michigan
will be stationed for the winter near
that city. The first troops to land
in the island will probably not arrive
before Thanksgiving day, and the en-.
tire movement will hardly be com
pleted before January /.

further tempted we would have him

few people whose subscriptions were

others would c"nstrain him to do even
more than his wife asked him 10 do.
