TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE FALL
ARE PREclPITATED FROM THE SIDEWALK
INTO AN EXCAVATION.
Crowd Was Witnessing . Parade when
the Accident Hsppened-One Man
Killed Outright and Over One
Hundred Injured.

Hundred Injured.
Elvin l.. Collidge, circulation man
ager of the New York Commercial, was
almost instantly killed and about 100
others injured by the breaking down
OF temporary sidewalk at Fifth
avenue and Eighteenth street, New
York City. Some Of those injured may
die.
Those who fell were part of the
crowd gathered to watch the parade of
militia In honor of the visit of the
French Rochambe com mission. Two
thousand persons were on the sidewalk
when 1t gave way. They were preci-
pated twenty feet into an excavation
for new building and fell on piles Of
building material.
Considering the nature of the acci-
dent and the number OF persons in it,
the hospital surgeons express surprise
at the few who received serious hurts.
Many were able to go directly home
after having their injuries treated by
the ambulance surgeons.
Early In the afternoon the police be-
came suspicious of the strength of the
sidewalk and detail for hours kept
the people from crowding on it. When
the time for the procession drew near |
the crowds became unmanageable and |
In spite of the force of police crowded
on the forbidden sidewalk and there
stayed until the breaking of the sup
port landed them in the excavation.

woman wiIIed Property to a Rooster.

A wealthy woman named Silva re-
Gently died at Lisbon, and left her en-
tire property to a rooster. She was a
fervid spiritualist, believer in the
transmigration of souls, and imagined
that the soul of her dead husband had
entered the rooster. She caused a
special fowl house to be built, and or
dered her servant to pay special at
tention to their masters wants.
The disgust of her relatives over the
will caused the story to become public,
and lawsuit might have followed,
had not one of the heirs adopted the
simple expedient of having the wealthy
rooster killed, thus becoming himself
the next of kin.

His service here has been one un-

The Boring sea negotiations were
among his earliest works of Importance

difficult subject that led to his selec-

Soon after Secretary Hay assumed

which he himself regarded as the
greatest accomplishment of his busy |
life, namely, to set at rest forever the
questions growing out of the old Clay

with energy again upon negotiations,
the result of which was the framing
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty recently
