LEO Kill.

The struggle of an iron will and
lofty soul with death that was waged
for weeks in the Vatican has ended
and the King of Terrors triumphed,
as he always does. A noble life, n
that was a blessing and beneaiction,
has gone out and one of the worlds
most remarkable men has pessed.
While the acknowledged head of a
hierarchy the most powerful on earth,
Leo was one of the worlds men, whose
influence and example were felt wher-
ever civilized man has a foothold, and
who compelled the respect and venera-
ton of those without as we'll as those
within the body whose pontiff he was.
His voice was ever for peace and his
love of his fellowmen so great and
boundless that it went out to all,
knowing no limits and recognizing no
boundaries. To him all were the chill
dren Of one Father and all were mis-
brothers. Not only was he great as
a churchman, but wise and great as
a statesman and diplomat. A volun-
tary prisoner within the walls where
he died, yet he Kept in touch with
known to him as to but few others;
his finger was on the pulse of the
world and he knew it's ailments and
his great ambition was to remedy
them, to strengthen the bonds of the
brotherhood that makes all peoples
the members of one great family. The
head of the most ancient and con-
sentative of all organizations. he was
modern in thought, while moi lessen
ing or weakening the conservatism
OF Inc teachings OF the DOQy whose
acknowledged spiritual ruler he was.
He was a spiritual and temporal pow
er and men of all creeds and those
OF no creeds united in praising and
respecting him. While shaping the
de~stinies of his church, he did not a
little in shaping the destinies of the
world and was a prodigious contribu'
tor to the good within it.
The throne he vacated will be filled
by another out it is doubtful whether
that other will be as great or whether
the same intellectually and the same
vast knowledge, and consequently
power, will be the animating forces OF
his successor that conspired to make
Leo XIII. the grand figure that he
was.

ROOF OF FLut CAVES IN
Five Men Buried Under Falling Iron
and ericks-coroner Holds
Inquiry.

dent occurred at the WashOe smelter
today in which one man lost his life
and another was injured so badly that
he will die before morning and three
more received injuries tnat will keep
them in the hospital for some time.
The men were working on the new
fiue neal the base on the huge smoke
stack when, without warning OF any
kind, the roof bulged and the five men
we're carried to the bottom of the iue
| along with a lot of shee iron covering
! and other debris.
1t seems that the men had been
engaged in hosting a lot of sheet iron
from the ground to the top of the 1ue
which was to be used as a covering
on which bricks and mortar was to
be laid, and from the testimony adj
duced at the coroner's inquest it seems
that too great a load of sheet iron was
placed on top of the flue which caused
the steel Orders to bulge downward
and thus shorten their supports at the
ends OF the brick walls, thus causing
everything to slide down.
E. E. Joss met instant death, part
of his head being torn off and crushed
almost to a jelly.
Hans HANSEN received a compound
fracture of the skull, and is expected
to die at any minute.
Ole Thorsin received a compound
fracture of the left thigh and a frac-
ture of the right arm, and Clio Swan
son was injured internally in the re-
gion of the abdomen. Sam Reta sus-
tanned a severe v shock and a
slight laceration of the nose.
Shortly after the accident happened
Coroner Walsh was notified, and he
Immediately brought the remains of
Joss to the city, and the injured were
taken to ST. AIMS hospital, where
Doctors Spelman and Feenan looked
after them as soon as possible.
Joss was a married man and lived
on a small ranch near the works, and
it is understood that he had a large
family.
The top of his head was gone, and
his brains were slowly oozing out
when his body was brought to the city.
| Death was instantaneous.
Coroner Walsh held an inquest over
his remains tonight at his undertaking
parlors before a jury composed of
George A. Kinney. William Moorely,
r. D. Crosswhite, A. G. MacCullum,
Alex Resented and c. M. Cusick, and
after they had listened to the testi-
mony of several persons who were
witnesses of the accident it was de-
cided that they would go to the scene
Of the accident and view the ground
where he was killed.
They will go to the smelter in the
morning, and will return their verdict
to the coroner in the evening at 1880.
At the inquest r. G. Collins, mechan-
ical superintendent of the works, ties.
titled to practically the same as the
above, as did also William Wreath,
who has charge of the brick work at
tn. new tlue. Both of the men were
of the opinion that at the present time
it was very dangerous to go near the
place where the accident happened
as the huge mass of debris might slide
again at any moment. They were OF
the opinion that too heavy a load OF
structural sheet iron had been placed
on top Of the flue, thus causing it tc
sag and bulge.
Thomas Johnson, a workman, also
testified along the same lines.

providing that the finance and audit

based on the governors oft repeated
