COLLAPS SED.
A Four-Story Building Falls, killing
Three People and Badly IEjuring

Pittsburg, April 13.-Without warm
ing the four-story brick building at
the corner of Second avenue and
Wood street collapsed yesterday,
burying in its ruins a number of peo-
pie, three of whom were taken out
dead. Six were badly hurt and sew
eral others slightly injured. The dead
are Mrs. Martha Jones, aged G4; Eu-
gene Bernhardt, aged 20, salesman
for Armstrong & McKelvy; Oscar Big
Ter, carpenter, home supposed to be
near Harrisburg.
The building was occupied by the
1t was being remodeled by Contract
ors McGovern and LyUle, who were
converting the lower floor of the cor
ner store and that next door into one
large room, which was to have been
occupied by the lead company. About
4S feet of the middle party wall had
been removed and steel girders sup
ported by heavy iron posts were IN
place, and the finishing touches were
being put on the remodelling work.
The firm had begun the transfer of
their stock from one room to the
other and apparently centralized the
about the middle of the structure.
This is the only solution advanced for
the collapse, which began by the sec
ond floor breaking through, carrying
with it the two floors above, making
a breach from top to bottom through
the center of the building.

CHICAGO'S LABOR WAR.
NOn-UBionists are Assaulted Just at
the Close of Working Hours.

Chicago, April ia riot between
union and non-union men in front of
the Merchants Loan d Trust build
ing, Adams and Clark streets, would
have assumed grave proportions but
for the arrival of three patrol wagons
filled with police officers who had
been summoned to the scene by riot
calls. The trouble was melted by
strikers who attacked a number of
non-union men as the latter were
leaving the building last evening 1or
their homes.
superintendent Tinsley, who had
charge of the architectural work in
the building, was assaulted by two of
the strikers and sustained light in
juries about the head. John Kelley,
Il Ia aborer, was taken into custody and
locked up.
Trouble had been brewing at the
new structure all day and for this
reason six extra policemen were sent
to guard the non-union men as they
left work for their homes. The offi-
GERS had arrived at the structure and
were on patrol. They had not been
made aware of the fact that the men
had quit work, and the first intima-
ton they had of trouble was when a
crowd of strikers surrounded num-
ber of non-union men who had left
the building and several fights had
begun. Officers dashed up to the
throng, but the strikers had increased
in numbers to nearly Z 20 and, fearing
greater trouble, riot calls were sent
in to several police stations. The ar
rival of these officers dispersed the
crowds.
Strike sympathizers eluded the
guards at the Marshall Field building
yesterday and assaulted two men. A
foreman, who was asked by two men,
upon replying that no union men
would be taken on, was struck by
both men, who then made their es-
cape. Tne second assault was made
upon non-union man who with his
companions was on his way to the
building. He was singled out and Sc
verely beaten by three men who also
escaped.
Fifteen hod carriers and three pIas-
tercrs were brought into the building
early without being molested and
were put to work. The guards have
been doubled.

A POOR PLACE FOR DOCTORS.
Porto Eicans are Unable to Pay for
PhYsIcians, Services.

San Juan, Porto Rico, April 13.-
The startling fact was recently made
public that in many districts of Porto
Rico, where the population reaches
thousands, there is no resident phySi-
clan. For instance, Wayuya, a town
of 1900, must depend on the simplest
remedies in the case of illness, as
there is no physician within call. At
Utuado the ueath rate is s per cent.
annually, and this town is days
ride from Ponce through the noun
tains.
1t appears that physicians have
been sent to these districts; but they
refuse to remain, largely because no
town is able to support one. AS a
result of this condition of things the
order providing a physician for every
500 people is now very difficult of en-
forcement, because the towns reply
that there is no fund to pay for such
service.
This island is one vast poorhouse,
and there are opportunities for char
ity at every step. Were $4,000 to be
expended Immediately for medicine
and medical aid, it would possibly
save the lives of 5000 people. At one
time the government considered the
feasibility of assigning physician to
each town, at an aggregate cost of
$4,000 per year, but the funds for
such an outlay are not available.

feet in height from the pedestal to

is the first bronze statue cast in the

Washington is represented in heroic
attitude. The left hand holds the

STOLEN BEER STAMPS.
A Government officer Arrests a Man
with $4,000 Worth In His Possess

New York, April 12.-Within the
past two months two mysterious rob
berries of beer stamps, by which the
government lost $4,000, have oc-
Cured. One of these thefts occurred
while the stamps were in transit be-
tween the treasury department ana
the post office in Washington, and
the other between the post office AMI
the internal revenue office in Chicago.
The stamps stolen in Washington
were worth $4,000 and those in Chi
cago $4,000.
Revenue Agent Thompson, of the
New York district, recently suspected
that the stolen beer stamps were
hidden in Brooklyn and that the
thieves made =. McCauley's saloon
their headquarters. Agent Thomp-
son learned that the stamp thieves
had made arrangement for the sale
of large quantity of the stamps to
brewers agent at the Astor house.
Late yesterday Thomas Blaney, Il
bartender employed in McCauley's
saloon, was seen to enter the hotel
with big bundle under his arm. He
seemingly failed to meet the pros
pective purchasers and afterwards
was arrested by Mr.. Thompson. The
bundle which Blaney carried was
found to contain about $4,000 worth
of beer stamps The prisoner was
unable to satisfactorily account for
these stamps. BIaney was taken be-
fore n United States commissioner,
who held him in $1,000 bail for eX-
animation on Friday
