NEGLECT CAUSED FALL"
Parsons's Report on Darlington Dis
Gster Handed to Jerome.

Attorney sees opportunity FOR further action.
The primary cause Of the disaster the report
says faulty design and carelessness and

lack Of lateral support for the columns, which
permitted them 20 act as long columns in which

Asian Uar Hard on Horses.

If the war is rough on men it is
rougher still on horses, if the CHASTITY
stories which slowly reach st. Peters
burg from Mukden, Kharbin and the
Baikal are worthy of credence. And
as they appear in the local press, which
is subject to Government censorship,
there are no good grounds for doubling
them. In the Baikal the lot of the
wretched horse was and is peculiarly
doleful. Owing to the vast number of
them required to draw the trains over
the ice of the Baikal Lake, and to con-
vey sleighs full of soldiers and cars
laden with war material the prices
Of hay and oats rose by leaps and
bounds. 1t soon became Improbable
for the owner of one of three over
worked quadrupeds to invest any money
in fodder, and lucrative to let the ami
mails work on almost increasingly with
nothing but cold water to keep up their
strength until at last the horse dropped
down dead from exhaustion. The rea-
son is, writes the Eastern Review that
the prices for the labor of horses are
abnOrmally great-so great that they
enable the owner to purchase new
one and to lay by a large percentage
for himself. The heartlessness of these
men is described as revolving. Ema-
ciated with hunger and jaded with ex-
kausting. almost uninterrupted work,
many of these miserable horses were
abandoned to their fate before they
actually fell dead in harness. Hardly
able to put one foot before the other,
they wandered aimlessly over the
Baikal ice, vainly seeking for grass or
other fodder, and "at the sight of hu-
man beings neighing piteously. Lon
