LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Twelve Steel Arches Fall at the
Coliseum at Chicago.
NINE PERSONS KILLED BY THE WRECK
Seven other Men Are In the Hospital and
Several of Them VIII Die-A state
ment by the Supervisor
of the Erection.

Chicago, Aug. 20-Twelve steel
arches, each weighing 33 tons, which
were to have supported the superstruc-
ture of the Coliseum building, in course
of erection ON Wabash avenue. between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, fell to
the ground late yesterday afternoon.
1t is known that six lives were crushed
out. The bodies of three men are sup
posed to be under the wrecliage. Seven
are in the hospital with injuries re-
ceived i'm the accident and of these two
win surely die, one may possibly re-
cover and the balance are for the
greater part seriously injured. The
dead are: Charles Walpot, Edward
Murray, Rank Logan, stephen j.
Thompson. John Farrev, Richard Shcr-
man, Theodore Thorn, Leroy Fcnner
and Al Norman.
Edward c. Shankland, the head of
the firm of r. c. and Il. VI. Shaukland.
the designers and supervisors of the
erection of the Coliseum, and the chief
engineer of the Worlds Columbia eX-
position. last night made the following
statement: Twelve arches, all the
arches of the Coliseum, under construc-
ton, were up. the last one being placed
in position Saturday. and yesterday
the traveller was being taken down.
The longitudinal purlieus and the
diagonal braces at the south end were
in place, but none of the sub-purlieus
had been put in position, nor had the
diagonal bracing between the two
north arches been connected up.
Had this been done before the trav-
eller had been taken down the
accident would not have happened.
The accident is one that may always
happen during the erection of the steel
work and before the roof purleus and
bracing are in place. The three-hinged
arch used in the Coliseum is the same
as that used by the Pennsylvania rail-
road IN its stations at Jersey City and
Broad street, Philadelphia; by the
Philadelphia ~ Reading railroad in its
Philadelphia stations, and 10y me in the
first regiment armory, Sixteenth street,
and in the manufacturers and liberal
arts building at the worlds fair. 1t is
commonly used in roof trusses of this
and large spans The management has
decided to at once replace the arches
and proceed with the immediate com
pletion of the building and have it
ready for the national convention next
summer. The loss will not exceed
S25, 900. The worst feature of the acct
dent was the loss of life"

IN DREYFUS' FAVOR.
live Witnesses Were for the Pris-
oner and Two Against Him.
CANDID CONFESSION OF AN EXPERT.
NJ. Charway Declares lie Was Mistaken in
Saying Dreyfus Wrote the Bordereau.-
Admiration for Capt. Freystaetter
M. de Freycinet to Testify

Rennes, Aug 30 The balance of the
evidence yesterday, for change, was
in favor of Dreyfus Five witnesses
were for him and two against him.
The most interesting testimony was
that of Chief Handwriting Expert
Charvav, who had come to declare he
had changed entirely his opinion.
which in 1894 was against aud now is
in favor of Drevfus. who he yesterday
affirmed was not the author of the
borderenu. His candid confession Of
error was received with murmurs of
satisfaction in court, which became
discreet applause. in spite of COL.
Jouaust's patent disapproval, when he
solemnly added: II declare here, on
my soul and conscience that the bor-
dercau was written by Esterhazy.'
The most important incident, how
ever, was Col. Jouaust's acquiesccnce
to Mai Carricre's request that a roga-
tory commission be instructed TO take
Col. Du Patty de Clam deposition. The
initiative came purely from the govern
ment commissary, Maitres Labor and
Demauge having no faith in such a
measure, because it allows Du Patty de
Clam to escape cross-eXamination
which is the only thing worth having
under the present circumstances. Du
Patty de Clam being "A witness for the
prosecution, Mai. Carriere will simply
prepare list of questions which an
examining magistrate will put to Du
Patty de Clam at his residence. and no.
body supposes that the witness win be
very much embarrassed by the inter-
rogatories.
Yesterday the central figure in the
court yard, which is the meeting place
for all the leading personages Of the
trial during the suspension of the ses-
sions, was Capt. Frcystaetter, who was
the subject of many flattering remarks
upon his manly and soldier-lille bear
ing. Indeed, the interest in him was
so great that some persons waited all
night long outside the door of the
court in order TO obtain standing room
in the rear part of the court room, in
the hope of seeing him at yesterdays
sitting. an impression having gone
abroad that he might he recalled. His
modest and Frank manner inspired adj
miration in all except the generals and
the other military witnesses for the
prosecution. who seemed afraid Of him
and scowled in his direction from the
other side of the court yard.
Capt. Freystaetter will not remain
here until the end of the trial, but will
leave Rennes in a few Mays. NJ. de
| Freycinet, former minister of war, ar
rived yesterday morning and will tcs-
tify to-day.

In this discourse DR.. Talmage argues
that religion NAV be taken into all the
affairs of life, and instead of being a
hindrance. as many think. is re-
enforcement. The text is Romans L.:
11:."Not slothful i'm business; fervent
in spirit; serving the Lord"
Industry. devoutness and Christian
service-all commended i'm that short
text. What. is il possibe that they
shall be coutoincd? Oh. yes. There is
no war between religion and business.
between lcdgers and Bibles. between
churches and counting houses. On the
contrary. religion accclcratcs business,
sharpcns meu's wits. swcctcns accrbity
of disposition, iiilips the blood of phlcg-
MATES and throws more velocity into
the wheels of hard work. It gives bet
ter balancing to the judgment, more
strength to the will. more muscles 10

The industrial classes are divided into
three groups-produccrs manurac-
turcrs. traders. Producers. such as
farmers and miners. Manufacturers.
such as those who turn corn into food
and wool and naN into apparel. Traders,
such rs make profit out of the transfer
and exchange of all that which is pro-
duced and manufactured. \ business

these classes, and not one is independ-
