In Collapse Of Partly Compile
ted Hotel in Germany.
VICTIMS WERE AT FEAST
According to Custom, Placing of ths
Roof Upon Structure Was Being
Celebrated and Dancers Jar
red It to Earth.

In Nagold, Black Forest, Germany,
Thursday, fifty-two persons were kill
ed and seventy dangerously injured
by the collapse of the Hotel Zum Hrs
chen.
The building had not been fully
completed, and the catastrophe is at
tributed to the non-observance OF
proper precautions. The roof Of the
building had only been put in place
Thursday morning, an event which, in
accordance with German custom, was
celebrated by a feast.
The guests were reported to have
engaged in a dance, and this, together
with the large number of persons on
the floor, probably was what caused
the building to collapse.
There were two hundred persons
present, most of whom were buried IN
the ruins. At 10 o'clock Thursday
night fifty-two dead bodies had been
recovered and one hundred injured
were taken from the ruins, many OF
them in a serious condition. Twenty
uersons still are missing.
The accident is attributed to care
lessness IN the part Of those VINO
we're making repairs on the building
which had been raised five feet FROM
the ground in order to give more
enace for the lower story. The work
began early in the morning, and was
supposed to have been finished at
noon. The keeper Of the hotel IN
vited the workmen and large num-
her of townspeople to a grand dinner.

Is Promised on Arrival OF Fake Pr0pn'
ct Dowie, the Deposed.
John Alexander Dowie, the hrst
apostle of the Christian Catholic
Church of Zion City, left Mexico
CITY with his party Thursday night Tor
Chicago, where he will confront the
local leaders, who have revoltea
against him.
Dowie was in good health and spir-
it's, and indignant at the conduct OF
the men who, according to letters IN
bis possession, were protesting 10y
atty to him within the past week.
In an interview with the Associated
Press representative, given at his no
tel Thursday afternoon, he reviewed
the history of Zion church, and spoke
Of its spread, not only in the United
States, but in Europe. His hotel "a
BILE held many letters and teiegrams
of loyal assurances from England and
the United States, and offers OF fnan-
cial aid,' If required.
These telegrams were very gratlfy-
ing TO Dowie, who spoke freely re-
garding those who have, in his ao-
sence, organized movement. for MS
deposition, which he ridiculed as pre-
posterous. He said he had selected
as his best man Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
who had proved unfaithful.
He ridiculed the idea that those he
had appointed could dismiss him, who
had appointed them. One of the points
at issue between Or. Dowie and his
men of affairs was that he desired
to dismiss his general financial man-
aser, Alexander Granger, who, ne as
serted, was incompetent and failed
to appreciate his relations to his su-
perior. He warmly refuted the charge
that he had been extravagant by de-
claring that he owned today the ma
lority of shares in the Zion CITY
bank, and he declared with mucn
earnestness that when the accounts
would be adjusted he would have
goodly balance to his credit.
He had been charged With ln1us-
tice, but said he had during the last
two years, from his own personal re-
sources, made gifts to his people az
gregating 100000. 1t was said he
was extravagant, when he had not
drawn from Zion City's funds $1,000
during the past six months, but, on
the contrary, had loaned Zion City
from outside resources $4,000.

fessor Rudolf Denvers, head OF the

some time later, and, after exam1n'

there was no indication of paralysis,

and Cuts His Own Throat.
A Birmingham, Ala, dispatch says:
W. E. Burton, physician, dead; Mrs.
Lara E. Burton, wife Of Burton,
dead; T. T. Thaxton, dentist, Pratt
City, probably fatally wounded. In
brief, that is the story Of an awful
tragedy at As woodland avenue, North
Haven, Monday night between 10:30
and IL o'clock. Burton shot and kill
ed his wife, two bullets taking effect;
shot and wounded Thaxton, and then
cut his own throat with a small pock-
et-knife, which his wife had given
him. Family rows, coupled probably
with jealousy, seem to have been the
cause of the crimes committed by
Burton.
According to statements made by
Mrs. V. A. Andrews and her daughter,
Miss Blanche Andrews, who live in
the same house, the husband and wife
nave not been living together for
some time. The mother and daughter
further state that DR.. Thaxton was
cousin OF theirs, and that he was at
their house at their request, as the for
nler was recovering from an opera
tion.
Burtons body was found in the
yard a few feet from that Of his vile,
30 seconds after the last shot was
fred. Both were dead. The pistol was
fosnd at the foot of the steps and the
knife was found under Burton's body.

of the open market has been felt very
acutely, as may be judged by the liquida-
ton of more than one racing stabie:S ana
others will no doubt be tempted to follow
suit unless some arrangement can be made
with NJ Ruau and the government.
Calculations made after due inquiry with
different owners lead to the supposition
that a man with eighteen to twenty horses
in his trainers hands and standing on the
list of winners to the extent OF $so.OOO
would, after paying all expenses. including
paign, clear about 5000. But recently the
high retaners paid to the American jockeys
further reduce this amount. Consequently
numbers of owners have to pay pretty
dearly for the privilege Of showing their
colors even in a country where the entry
fees are very small and the forfeits reduced
to the lowest expression. Recently. the de-
sire to pander to the wishes OF the gam
blers has inflicted further hardShips on VIM
ming owners, for in former times the
amount of the entries and forfeits went
to the winner. Now, however, they are
almost entirely divided-among the second
and third horses placed by the judge, 50
that, as in the case of those who win
at Paris and Chantilly, the stake Is re-
duced as far as the entries are concerned
by three=fourths- Notwithstanding this
rule nothing can induce owners to have
their horses, when beaten. cut up for the
few sovereigns representing the place
money. The support given by the govern
ment to racing is ver3eesmall indeed, and
at the moment what should be a good and
remunerative national industry Is anguish
ing owing to the greediness Of those who
preside over the deStinieS of what some
here call La PubliQue."

At the beginning of the season the oppo-
nents of the new foot ball rules contended
that scores would be cut in two on all
sides and that there would likewise be an
unusual number of 90 games. The season
has proved the truth of both these state
ments. Hardly a team in the east or
west has made anything like the scores
that. were run up a year ago, while the
number of 90 games has been tripled
Hardly a team in the. east got through
this year without 90 game and several
have two or three. Out of twenty-one
eastern teams whose scores have been
tabulated there were twenty-five sdrawn
games. a most unusual circumstance. On
