WALK COLLAPSED.
One Killed and About 100
Injured at New York.
Sidewalk Fell While Crowd Was
Watching Rochambeau Parade.
Dead Man Is e. 1. Coolidge of New
York Commercial.

New York, May 27.-Elvin l.. Cool
idge, circulation manager of the New
York Commercial, was almost instant
ly killed and about 100 other people
were injured, this evening, by the
breaking down of a temporary side
walk on Fifth avenue and 18th streets.
Some of those hurt may die. Those
who fell were part OF the crowd gath
cred to watch the parade of militia in
honor of the visit of the French
Rochambeau commission to this city.
Two hundred people were on the
sidewalk when it gave away and they
were precipitated 90 feet into an ex-
cavation for a new building and fell
on piles of building material.
The accident occurred just as the
head of the parade had passed the
corner. The French visitors had gone
past before and knew nothing of 1T
until some time later. Troop G had
just ridden by and the ed Regiment
was passing when the crash came.
The officers in command at once gave
the order to break ranks and 80 militia
men were detailed TO work of rescue.
Hurry calls were sent out for police
reserves and ambulances and in a very
short time those who fell were assist
ed out of the excavation and the work
of binding up wounds and conveying
those most hurt TO the hospitals was
in full swing.
The authorities are busy endeavoring
to discover who was to blame for the
accident. Coroner Scholer says the
sidewalk had not been built of material
strong enough to stand such great
weight as burdened it, this evening.
Considering the nature of the acct
dent the hospital surgeons express sur
prise at the small number receiving Sc
rious hurts. Many were able to go di
rectly home after having their injuries
treated by the ambulance surgeons.
Those taken to the hospitals and who
sustained the worst injuries are:
George Essing, patrolman, scalp
wound and shock.
Jas. j. Kelly, detective sergeant, at
tached to Inspector Thompson's staff,
scalp wound and shock and possible in
ternal injury.

Site Of St. raul's Cathedral.

Three cathedrals have occupied the
present site of st. Paul's, Londons
famous church. Ethelbert, King Of
Kent, founded the first in the year
610, and it was destroyed by fire in
1887. The second cathedral, or "old
ST. Paul's," was soon after built, and
proved to be a great church, $50 feet
long, 1870 feet broad and tower and
spire $40 feet high which was higher
than the great pyramid Of Egypt,
Many strange things took place in
the old church. The first lottery in
England was drawn at the west door
Of St. Paul's in 1869. This old church
was finally destroyed by fire in 1866.
Sir Christopher Wren made a model
for the present cathedral, which he did
in a design antique and well studied,
comfortable to the best style of the
Greek and Roman architecture. The
foundation was commenced May 1,
1875. The cathedral was finished
under one architect in 35 years. 1t
is 365 feet high and covers an area
of S4,025 superficial feet.

SOME TRAITS OF ANIMALS.
Nature Has Endowed Them All with
Means 81 Defense.

Nature Has Endowed Them All with
Means 81 Defense.
Nature has given every known ami
NAL some distinctive method OF de-
Tense, yet few people IN this busy
world, with the exception Of those who
make a study of animal life, know
exactly what they are In the her
blvorous animals the defense gift as
IL might be called, Is more prominent
than in the flesh-eating species, be-
cause the latter are the relentless en-
envy of the former.
In the circus menagerie, to be eX-
hibited this week at the Coliseum, are
several hundred of both species, and
devotees OF natural history will have
the privilege of inspecting them to
their hearts content.
The giraffe, one OF the most pecu-
liarly built of the herbiyorous animals
and one that is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct, will probably attract as much
attention Us any other animal in the
menagerie. He is a native Of Africa,
and being thin-skinned is supplied by
nature with remarkably sharp hoofs,
which he uses with destructive force
when attacked by lions or tigers. A
giraffe has been known to virtually
tear a lion into shreds.
The zebra also uses his hoofs, but in
a different manner. Instead Of strik-
ing he kicks. Zebras when pursued
by carniYorous animals will gallop
wildly for a time. Suddenly they will
stop, form a circle with their heads
toward the centre and kick viciously
and in unison at their enemies. In
the formation of the circle the weak
est animals are forced into the centre
and in consequence are afforded addi-
tional protection.
The greatest kicker Of the herbivor-
GUS class is the cassOwary. Although
he has but two legs, they can easily
do the work of four when put into ac-
tive service. The legs are so thickly
muscled that a cassowary can break
tigers back at one blow.
The Gland, the largest of the ante
lope family, is furnished with a pair
of spiral-like horns, the points OF
which are as sharp as freshly ground
swords. With these horns the Gland
while running wild in the country
south of the Sahara desert in Africa
impales his many adversaries of the
cat tribe on his horns and dashes
them to death on the sun-baket

The Russian white deer is devoid o.
horns and depends on razor-edge hoofI
to protect his family and himself The
llama also uses the hoofs in the even
of an attack
The Danger, or ghorka, known as the
wild ass of western India, fights like
the zebra and protects the young AM

Newspaper Comment.

London, March 24.-Few of the pa- pers here comment on the news from Pretoria. These take it for granted that Mir Schalk-Burger and his com pahlOnS are on mission of peace and again engage in a discussion of possible peace terms, expressing the hope that the overtures will have a successful outcome. The presence of Lucas Meyer is regarded as signifi- cant, as he is an intimate friend of Louis Botha.
 The Daily Chronicle, commenting on the absence of Botha from the delegation, suggests he is standing aside owing to the failure of his over- tIres of year ago, and considers that, although the conditions Lord Kitchener then offered to Botha had been annulled it is highly probable that peace may still be arranged on similar lines, but that the Boers can not expect more lenient terms.
 The Daily News remarks that a settlement would be possible if the BOers were treated like civilized com batants, ''but men do not surrender internationally just after taking one of the enemy's generals and four of his guns"

PROVED A POPULAR VERDICT,
Jury in the Nellie Cropscy Case Held Young Wilcox Guilty of Mur-

Elizabeth City, x. C., March 24- The verdict that young Wilcox was guilty of the murder of Miss Nellie CropscY, seems to have met popular approval, though it was not consid- cred probable, early Saturday, that the jury would so report. District Attorney Ward said he never looked for any verdict other than murder in the second degree. Lawyer Aydlett, for the defense, will enter an appeal on behalf of the prisoner. He will seek to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was not consistent with the evidence brought out in the trial. There is little prospect of the prisoners paying the death penalty on the date set by Judge Jones. A. the supreme court does not meet til next September it is more than prob able that it will be 12 months befor. the case is disposed of finally.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and One Severely Injured-Struck by Flying
 TimberS.

Milwaukee, March 24.-A Sentinel special from Houghton, Mich., says:
 A terrible explosion of dynamite occurred near Oskar, eight miles north of Houghton. yesterday, result ing in the death of two persons and serious injury of another.
 The scene of the explosion was in the house of John BouIIard. The building caught fire while the family was at church, and when the heat be- came intense two boxes of dynamite which were stored away for blowing up stumps, exploded. Jenkala and kallianen were killed by being struck by flying timbers. They were neigh bors of Boulard, and met death while fighting the flames.
