and showed that his amendments to
the bill were Of greater interest and
practical value to West Virginia than
any other feature in the bill; in fact
that had not the Elkins amendments

wrongs the railroads were doing the

He Lived in earns.own.

There was a man in Banstown
Though he had a pretty pace.
He stole his wife's COW
And her nice suit case.
And up in Preston county
He sold her for the cash,
And the people round here
Thought that the act was very rash
He would sport the girls around;
Make them think he had the dough
And his wife go a washing
And wading through the snow.
He knew that he was guilty,
SO he thought he'd go away,
And the people thought it best
That he would go and stay.
He had a good wife,
And she'll get along all right,
For he was a dirty coward
And stole the COW at night.
Perhaps he will come sneaking back
And try to find his wife.
Put the best thing she can do
Is prepare for him with a knife.
We don't know what he's doing;
He's surely hard up for a nest,
But he left the word behind him
That he was going to the wildness
He has no friends in Barnstown,
And that is still the better,
And IL lie happened to come hack
He'll get some salt and pepper.
He left his poor wife once before,
But wasn't gone SO cry long;
So we thought that it was time
To compose a little song.
He would take his poor wife's money
And everything like that,
And then come around her saying:
"How are you, Old Cat?"

American Builders

REMARKABLE RAPipiTY WITH
WHICH sKYscRAPERs ARE
NOW BUILT.

NEW YORK, October a. Three
months ago there was nothing but a
big hole in the ground where the new
building for the Evening Post was
to stand. To-day on that spot stands
the skeleton Of a twelve-story steel
building. The granite and cut stone
work of one story is in place, the hol-
low tile floors and partitions Of eight
stories are ready, the plumbing, cleo.
trio installation and elevator con-
struction are well under way, and
carpenters are now putting in temper.
airy stairways and frames. Although
only started on August LIST, It is al.
ready possible to get a definite i'm.
preston Of what the new building will
be like when completely finished.
1t is a striking example of the ra.
pidity witwhhhicayfJslel aolsnhrdlu
pldity with which skyscrapers are now
put up by American builders. The
constant growth of business, requir'
ing larger office accommodation, and
the increasing value of the land upon
which big buildings must be erected
have led to a demand for the utmost
speed in building construction, so that
time has bceomeoemrtaoih
time has become more important than
cost in new buildings, every months
delay meaning a loss of thousands OF
dollars in rentals or interest.
Architects and builders have met
this demand for speed by adopting the
steel type OF construction which ena-
bles them to run up buildings Of great
height with amazing rapidly. But
the steel has to be protected from
rust and corrosion. Likewise the
walls, floors and partitions and other
parts Of the building have to be alb
solutely freproof. To meet these
conditions builders encase the steel
in hollow tile, and build the floors and
partitions of the same material, no
time having to be lost in waiting for
the tile bricks to set or harden. The
adoption of the steel and hollow tile
type of construction is one of the
reasons why even the biggest sky
scrapers take less than a year to put
up.
Hollow tile is found to be much the
safest freprooang for quick construc-
ton. 1t sets very much more quickly
than concrete-which must be left
thirty days to be perfectly safe. In
winter it is very difficult to deal with
concrete, whereas hollow tile can be
installed without difficulty in almost
any kind Of weather. It is hollow tile
which has also made 1t possible to put
up Senator Platt's U. s. Express Com
pany building with such great rapid
ity.
Although buildings like the new
home for the Evening Post are run
up in few months, they are not in any
way jerry-built. They are put up to
last. The Baltimore contiagration
showed they could Withstand fire; the
San Francisco disaster showed they
could Withstand both earthquake and
fire. In fact the big steel and tile
structures Of New York, Chicago, Bal.
timore and Pittsburg and other large
cities are not only examples of rapid
construction, but they represent the
highest degree Of perfection which
American architects and builders have
in the art of skyscraper
building

Negro troops VIII Be Removed From
the Lone Star State.
Washington, Aug. 22.-The negro
federal troops have been ordered out
Of Texas. Instead of going to Fort
'Ringgold, about 100 miles up the Rio
Grande, the battalion Of the Twenty
fifth infantry has been ordered to Fort
Reno, Okla. This action is in accord
ance with the direction of the presi-
dent and also is recommended by Gen
eral McCaskey, commanding the de-
partment of Texas. BY direction of
the president, General J. Franklin Bell,
chief of staff, will make thorough
investigation Of the whole Brownsville
affair and report to the president.
Fort Brown is to be abandoned. The
company of the Twenty-sixth infantry
which was sent there Tuesday will not
stay very long. It's duty is to pack up
all the movable government property,
which will be shipped to other posts,
when the troops will be ordered away.
Fort Brown will be abandoned tenn
porarily, according to the order, but
it is understood quite we'll that the
temporary abandonment will be per-
manent
The investigation now under way
will be continued and the war depart
ment authorities state that every eff
fort will be made to find out the facts
and fix the responsibility for the dis
turbance and that any soldiers found
guilty will be punished.

Workmen Overcome by Gas in Effort
to succor Their Fallen Comrade.
Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-Three men are
dead, two are in serious condition
and nine others were rendered uncon-
sclous by a blowout of accumulated
gas at the Eliza furnaces of the Jones
& Laughlin Steel company at Soho,
this city. The men were dumping ore
and coke into the furnace from the
top when the explosion occurred.
Flames shot upward and enveloped
Andrew Marsley in the deadly fumes
and he fell over unconscious. His
brother George went to his assistance.
but he, too, was overcome and Michael
Boise, who followed him, was also
rendered insensible. Realizing that
the same fate awaited them each of
the eleven men remaining neverthe-
less attempted to succor those first
attacked and every one in his turn
was overcome. BY this time notice of
the accident had reached the work
men below and the gas was shut off.
The men were then rescued and taken
to the company's emergency hospital.
On the way the three named died.

ABOUT THREE THOUSAND PER.
SONS WERE KILLED BY Chill.
Fan EARTHQUAKE.
GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
FINANCIAL LOSS LIKELY TO BE
IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS.

Valparaiso, Aug. 22.-The loss of life
by the earthquake of Aug. 16 probably
will not be short of 5000, while the
property destroyed is estimated at
s10O,0O0,000, and probably far in ex-
cess of that sum.
Order is being maintained with the
utmost severity by the military, police
and armed citizen patrols, who are
empowered to shoot looters on the
spot. The authorities are showing the
utmost energy in the protection of
property.
With the first terrible shock of the
earthquake buildings collapsed, their
falling causing tremendous noise. The
inmates in many cases were unable
to escape The shock was followed
almost Immediately by fierce storm,
the wind prostrating walls that had
been weakened by the earthquake, and
these broke trolley wires, which
flashed necessarily. The second shock
was even heavier than the first.
Five minutes afterward fires started
In every direction and Immediately
the whole town was Illuminated by
gigantic flames. The firemen made a
desperate fight, though there was but
little water, as most Of the mains had
been broken by the early tremor. The
Victoria theater and the Naval club
were utterly destroyed by the earth
quake and the National theater sue
cumbed to earthquake and fire.
Commercial Houses Ruined.
The Club de Seniembre, the Church
of La MERGED, the buildings Of the
French fathers, the navy department
building, the city hall and many other
buildings were destroyed by the earth
quake The destruction by fire, how
ever, was infinitely larger and probab-
IIy 60 per cent of the commercial
houses were totally ruined. In Brazil
avenue alone nearly thirty blocks of
buildings from three to five stories
high were destroyed.
The greatest damage from the earth
quake occurred in the provinces of
Valparaiso and Aconcagua. The town
of Abarca suffered severely. Llai Llai
is reported TO have entirely d1Sap-
peared, and Limache and Hero Viejo
have been almost totally wrecked. At
tVina del Mar threequarters of the
houses are in ruins.
The losses in the entire country are
held at $50,000,000.
The authorities at Valparaiso have
taken over the feeding of the people
and provisions are being brought in
from places that were not destroyed.
Slight earthquake shocks are con-
tinuing. The people have not yet re-
turned to their homes, but are sleep
ing on the surrounding hills and in
the streets and squares. The fires
have all been extinguished. More
than 100 men taken in the act of COM
hitting robberies have been shot.

Throws the Population of Santiago
Into a Panic.
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 22.-Almost all
the foreign ministers here have ex-
pressed the coincidence of their gov
ernments to President Riesco.
The population of Santiago was
thrown into a condition of extreme
alarm Monday night as a result of the
circulation of false news that the OBJ
observatory had announced a second
horrible catastrophe to be imminent.
People would not sleep indoors and
large numbers spent the night on the
Streets and In the Squares. The alarm
originated from some persons declar-
ing that they had seen the black flag,
the sign of danger, flying from the OBJ
,serYatory on San Cristobal HILL The
shriekfng of steam sirens announcing
danger also added to the alarm and
the police, instead Of calming the peo-
pie, lost their heads and added to the
terror. President Riesco wrote a let
ter to the director of the observatory
asking for an explanation. The d.
rector answered that the whole thing
was a misrepresentation
