THE CzAROWITCH'S DEATH.

st. Petersburg, Russia, July To-
The following details Of the death Of
the Czarowitch appear in the official
messenger:
1.-THE Czarowitch went for ride on
a benzine motor, at o'clock in the
morning of July 10th, from Abbas
Tuman. He went very fast for two
versts, and then turned. A peasant
woman passing noticed that as he
turned the machine he slackened its
pace, and was splitting blood. He
stopped and alighted, swaying as he
did so. The woman ran up, supported
him, and asked him what was the
matter. The Prince replied nothing
The woman offered him water, and the
Prince made an affirmative gesture.
She bathed his temples and mouth.
Death then supervened, peacefully and
painlessly. The remains were taken to
the palace. The place where be died
has been enclosed by a railing"

A MENACE TO HUMAN LIFE
Part Of The City Hall Condemned, and
the Removal Of the Tower Ordered.
ROOF AND RAFTERS DEFECTIVE
The Structure Examined by the
Building Inspector.
COUNCIL ASKED TO ACT IMMEDIATELY

Building Inspector John j. Cassidy
Friday morning condemned portion of
the City Hall as being dangerous and
a menace to the people having business
there and addressed letter to Chair
man Healey of the public building
committee OF City Council, recommend.
ing that the tower be taken down and
other changes made to strengthen the
building and make it safe.
For some time he has known that the
building badly needed repairing and
was convinced, after his examination,
weight last Saturday, that it was un-
safe. Hence his action. The letter is
as follows:
John E. Healey, chairman of the
public building committee of City
Council-Dear Sir: / have examined
the tower on the City Hall and the
building in general, as requested by
you, and | have no hesitancy in saying
the building is in very bad condition
and calls for the immediate attention
of the committee. The rafters on
which depend the entire weight of the
roof are, ut the point where the tie
beam rests on the wall, rotting away,
caused by leaks in the roof, and call
for immediate attention. But the tower
at present calls for the most serious
consideration. The vibration caused
by the striker and bell makes constant
and increasing danger of the tower fall
ing, the superstructure in the first
place not being designed to support
such weight. The falling of the clock
weight a short time ago, which might
have resulted very serious, although
weighing only 200 pounds, is warning
of what may happen, and danger may
be apprehended from the weight at
tached to the fire striker giving away,
when it is understood that it weighs
9, 200 pounds. 1 would therefore recon-
mend that the tower be taken down,
so that it will conform to its original
design, and an iron beam placed under
the weights to prevent them from crash
ing through the building in case they
become loose. Please give this COM
munication and suggestion your imme-
diate attention. John j. Cassidy,
building inspector.
The public building committee has
had the matter under consideration for
some time, and now that the building
inspector has acted, will take imme-
diate steps toward having the building
put in such shape that it will be safe.

Gainesville, Ga, July 10. -Si Smith,
the Habersham county farmer who
killed William Bell, a commercial
traveller from Atlanta, several months
ago, was shot to death in the Jail here

About midnight, Sheriff Munday,
who lives at the Jail, was awakened by
man at his door, who, when the
sheriff answered the summons, stated
that he was the sheriff Of Gimer
county, and that he had prisoner he
wanted to have locked up for the night.
In the dark, the sheriff could see
nothing but three or four men, just
outside the building, and, hurriedly
dressing, he appeared at the main
entrance to the Jail building. Gathered
about it we're or 10 men. all Of whom
were armed. Sheriff Munday took them
for sheriffs.
The leader of the mob stepped for
ward, and said Here, come here"
using name the sheriff does not recall.
The man stepped forward, with his
hands bound, and in every way played
well the role assigned TO him. As he
advanced, those around him closed in,
and in few seconds the entire crowd
was inside the jail Then, gun was
thrown in Sheriff Munday's face, and
the keys were demanded. The sheriff
saw what was up, and remarked: 1.-THE
keys are downstairs. =" well, get
them quick" replied the leader
Sheriff Munday hurried down the
stairway, followed by two men. Half
way down the steps, he was brought to
in the room he had just left. Wheeling
around, he bound up the steps until he
reached the cage in which Smith was
confined. Upon examination, he found
that Smith had been shot six times,
and was dead

In 1895 there were 222 deaths of chill
dren under five years of age in the
Thirty third ward of Chicago, and in
1896 there were 297, making the aver
age for the two years 259. 1t is a con-
gested ward, and during the years men
toned it was in an unsanitary condi-
ton. In 1896 the Health Department,
with its limited force, established a
house toulouse visitation and inspec-
tion of the congested area of the ward,
prescribing for the sick and instructing
mothers in the hot-weather hygiene of
feeding, clothing, bathing, &C., of the
little children. In addition, many I'M
sanitary conditions we're corrected.
The result is seen in the mortuary
statistics of the ward for the three
years since the house toulouse vista
ton, the deaths of children under i've
years of age averaging ninety-six fewer
than the average of the preceding years.
This was saving of the lives of 2SS
children in three years.
The cost of the experiment in this
ward was $3.50, or, as the Chicago
Times Herald figures it, a cost of only
50. GO for each Of the 2S8 lives saved.
1t would appear that on this showing
the city would be willing to appropriate
the necessary funds to do like good
work in other unsanitary districts.
But the Health Department has not
secured the money, and, in order to
continue the work, it has appealed to
physicians to volunteer their services
during the next two months.

DALI KSooKBD OFT.
Defeated in New York Friday Night by Tim
Kearns.

hbhrnhs
New York, July IA. Tim Kearns, the
Boston lightweight, took another step
tonight towards a match with Cham
pion Frank Erne by knocking out Jack
DAILY of Wilmington, in the 18th round
fast and vicious fight. As far 10,
cleverness goes DAILY was the master,
but Kearns had tho strength to with
stand his best attacks and then put on
the finishing touches when the right
opening appeared. A stomach punch
in the 18th hurt DAILY so much that
another in the 18th practically beat
him, although he fell to the floor from
what appeared to be force OF left hook
on the jaw. Some sports said DAILY
quit, but anyway he was badly beaten
when the fight ended.
For the first four rounds the men
fought cautiously. DAILY did the most
leading, but Kearns' blows were the
most effective when they reached the
spot aimed at.
The trouble started in earnest in the
fifth round. 1t was give and take
without let-up, and plenty of rough
ing in the clinches. Daily opened up
cash in over Kearns' right eye, from
which the blood flowed freely. Tim
shot lef. drive over Daly's right eye
and the honors for blood were easy.
There was more caution displayed in
the next three rounds, although both
got in few struggling wallops, DAILY
was doing the most work and appeared
to be the stronger.
Springs and wild swings were the
feature OF the ninth and tenth rounds.
There were several hard rallies in the
18th. At the gong DAILY was bleeding
at the mouth and was trifle groggy.
He came up in the 18th. but had no
strength left. Kearns put in several
hard jabs on Days jaw aud the Will
mington boy went down and out.
Referee White'gave Kearns the de-
cisiop.

Some Think the Old Structure should be
Repaired Rather Than New One Built.
While the Levy Court is awaiting the
action of the War Department on the
plans for new bridge across the
Brandywine at Seventh street to re-.
place the old structure there, the
people have been doing some thinking.
They wonder whether it is wise to
expend $4,000, that being Patrick
Fahey's bid, when the present structure
might be repaired and put into condi-
tion for use for five years longer at no
great expense. Those favorable to the
new bridge hold that it will hasten the
development of the large section be-
tween the Brandywine and the Della
ware.
