What does the fanatic think of Tafts
visit to Rome and of the beautiful
letter to President Roosevelt from the
Pope which Bishop O'Gorman pre-
sented to the hero of San Juan at
Oyster Bay? The republic must be
in a perilous condition, indeed, when
such things occur in this enlightened
age.

CORRUPTION IN ST. LOUIS.
The Grand Jury Presents scathihE
Charges Against Aldermen ana
CITY Omcials.

ST. Louis, April Z. = Charges that
startled st. Louis were made by the
February grand jury, which has been
investigating bribery and official cor
ruption in the municipal assembly, in
it's final report to Judge O'Neill Ryan
Saturday. In this report system OF
bribery and corruption, the extent OF
which astounds st. Louis, is laid bare.
Members of the house of delegates are
charged with being of the lowest or
der of intelligence, some without
moral sense or ordinary reasoning
power, some combining perverted
sense of morality with the lowest form
of cunning, groveling instincts and sor-
did desires. The report cites instance
after instance of huge brides given and
offered almost without effort at con-
cealment by the agents OF corpora
lions, especially street car companies,
for the purpose Of securing franchises.
Men high in corporation circles OF
the city, directors of street railroad
companies, men who are hnanciai
leaders, the jury says, have freely put
up money knowing it was to be used
Il
| TO purchase franchises, and while some
of these men are beyond the reach OF
! the law because the evidence is INSULT
cient to convict in a trial court, yet
they are morally convicted and
damned" The report declares but
small proportion of those who deserve
to wear felon's stripes have been In
dicted.
Three indictments already made pub
lie were returned Saturday. The,
were: Bribery. Robert NJ. Snyder; at
tempted bribery, Edward Butler; per
jury, George J. Kobusch. More indict
ments were found, but they have no
yet been made public, and many higl
street railway men, politicians ant
members of the house of delegates ar
shiyerinp with apprehension.

A "DRY" SUNDAY.
Five Thousand, Seven Hundred sa-
looms Closed Tight In Greater
New York.

New York, April New York had
the "dryest" Sunday recorded since
the days when Theodore Roosevelt as
president of the police board showed
thirsty Manhattans just what dry"
Sunday really was. OF the 5000 sa-
looms in the borough of Manhattan
5,7OO were closed so tightly that dy-
Mantle and crowbar were almost
necessary to secure drink. The
1900 Raines law. hotels were open,
however, and all did lively business.
Seventy-nine arrests for violations OF
the excise law were made in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx between the hours
of midnight on Saturday and II
o'clock Sunday night. There were in
these two boroughs IA arrests for
violations of other Sunday closing
laws. In Brooklyn the police report
ed q arrests for violations of the ex-
else laws; there was one in Rich
mond and> none in Queens. This is
a total of 121, as against GA the pre-
yious Sunday.

Disastrous storm.

Paris, Tex. April IA special from
Prattville, Delta county, Tex. says a
destructive storm swept over that
place Saturday night between eight
and nine o'clock. No lives were lost,
but much property was destroyed.
The storm came from the north, and
for 20 minutes there was perfect
food of rain and hail. AS far as
known it extended only between Pratt
Vile and Pacio. towns eight miles
apart. Along the path of the storm,
which resembles a railroad track, not
n leaf nor particle of fruit is left.
Hail fully two inches deep is still "
inc on the ground.

AN AWFUL DISASTER.
Grand Stand Collapses at Glasgow,
Scotland.
Crowded with Spectators mt n Foot

ard $50 Are Seriously
4. Injured.

Glasgow, April THE casualty
lists of the Ibrox Park disaster, when
a number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing of a spec
tators' stand during the international
football match Saturday afternoon
between England and Scotland. have
been completed. They eclipse all
earlier reports and estimates of the
casualties. The disaster has result
ed in the death of 21 persons and the
injury of $50. Nearly 200 of the lat
ter were so seriously hurt that they
were taken to infirmaries for opera
tions and treatment. One hundred
and fifty of them still remain in the
the injured had limbs broken, bodies
crushed and mangled and heads and
faces gashed. Several more deaths
will undoubtedly result from the
most critical cases of fractured skulls.
The disaster was caused by the col
lapse Of 100 feet of one of the spec
tators' stands, precipitating thou
sands of persons to the ground 60
feet below.
Injured Piled I'm Heaps.
The injured were piled in heaps,
wedged in with broken wood. The
onlookers hesitated to approach the
dangling structure at first, but final
ly began to utilize portions of the
broken barriers as stretchers. A hun
dred of the most seriously injured
were carried to the pavilion and to
spaces in the rear of the stands. The
most severely hurt were later re-
moved in ambulances to infirmaries
| and the lesser sufferers were sent in
cabs to surgeries.~
Cause of the Collapse.
An investigation into the causes OF
the disaster shows that the break
down of the stand had begun before
the structure was subjected to its Sc
yerest strain, and it is now believed
that the final collapse was caused
more directly by the efforts of those
nearest the first break than by the
additional weight of those who
rushed upon the stand from below.
The stand, although supported by
iron Orders, swayed and cracked ON
inously under the movements OF its
frantic occupants.
The fallen portion is 100 feet long,
30 feet wide, and contained IL tiers
of seats. The injured in many cases
were lying five or six deep, and it is
considered marvellous that there were
not more fatalities. One man hung
by his boot, which caught in a spin
tered beam, head downward, so feet
above the ground. Finally his boot
, was cut and the man dropped into q
! sheet held below.

A DESPERATE NEGRO.
Hunted by a Posse, He Kills Two and
Wounds seven-He IL Slain ana
His BODY Burned.

Birmingham, Ala, April la sPeclai
to the Age-Herald from Tuscumbia,
Ala, says: Three men are dead, three
MORALLY wounded and four seriously
wounded as the result of Sheriff Gas
saway attempting on Sunday to ar
rest Will Reynolds, a desperate negro.
The dead are: Hugh Jones, Bob Wal
lace and Will Reynolds. The fatally
wounded are: Sheriff Charles Gas
saway, shot through the arm and abb
domen; Will Gassaway, shot through
abdomen; p. A. Prout, shot through
stomach. The seriously wounded are:
- Payne, shot through chest; Jim
Finney, shot through right shoulder;
Robert Patterson, shot through leg;
Jesse Davis, shot through jaw.
All the foregoing casualties, except
the death of Reynolds himself, are the
result of the deadly fire Of Reynolds
with a 45-caliber Winchester. The ne
gro was in his turn riddled and thrown
into fire.
Sunday morning at II o'clock Sher-
iff Gassaway went to a negro settle
ment, .Knardtown," to arrest Will
Reynolds for obtaining goods under
false pretense. The officer was met
by the negro, who opened fire with
a Winchester, wounding the sheriff,
and Immediately firing upon the dep
uty, Will Gassaway, who was some 300
yards away, MORALLY wounding him.
As soon as possible every man in town
who could procure a gun was in the
neighborhood, but owing to the loca-
ton none dared to venture within the
open space. Dynamite was procured
and the house in which the negro was
barricaded was fired upon, but to no
effect. At one o'clock Capt. Simpson.
| of the Wheeler rifles, arrived with IL
| guns and 1000 cartridges. which were
distributed among 12 picked men
This company was stationed around
the house and riddled it. but the ne
gro had taken refuge in the cellar and
returned the fire, killing Jones and
wounding Finney.
Coal oil was then procured, and aft
er four hours of hard work the
houses adjoining that in which thu
negro was located were fired. About
eight o'clock the house in which thu
negro was located was fired by thu
Wheeler rifles, who had arrived oil
the scene. The negro took refuge II
shed and opened fire, killing Wal
lace and wounding Davis. but the PEG
!, pie and some militiamen riddled tn
negro and the crowd, numbering
1000, grabbed the body and threw

! was killed, was closing in on the ne
) gro, who shot him through the body

l but was recovered. Davis, Wallac
