WRECKED With DYNAMITE
THE FAMOUS FERRIS WHEEL A
TANGLED PILE OF JUNK.
The Foundation Blown Away With
Dynamite and the Great
Structure COllapScs.

st, Louis, May l2.-The big Ferris
wheel at the Worlds Fair grounds
was blown up by dynamite at 4:30 p.
m. Friday. One hundred pounds of
dynamite were exploded under the
supports at the north side of the
structure, wrecking the foundation
and permitting the wheel to drop to
the ground, matter of but a few feet.
AS the wheel settled it slowly
turned, with the bottom of the wheel
as support, and then, after totter-
ing a moment, slowly collapsed. 1t
did not fall to one side as the wreck
ers had planned-it merely crumpled
up slowly, and within a few minutes
was tangled mass of steel and iron
30 or 40 feet high.
The huge axle, weighing "A tons,
dropped slowly with the rest of the
wheel, crushing the smaller braces
and steel framework into fantastic
shapes and forms. When the mass
finally stopped settling it bore no
resemblance to the wheel so familiar
to all st. Louisans.
Mrs. Cora Bennett, wife of w. G..
Bennett, superintendent of the Chi
cago House Wrecking Co., touched
the button that exploded the dyna.
mite.
The wheel weighed 1000 tons. It
cost originally s75O,OOO when erected
IN Chicago Is years ago. 1t was sold
there for $4,000. and 100000 was
spent bringing it to this city and
erecting it.
During the time it was in use at
both fairs it carried 100000 passen-
gers.

st. Louis, May 12.-Adolphus Busch,
who with his wife and daughter, Mrs.
Magnus, occupied apartments in the st.
Francis hotel, San Francisco. at the
time OF the recent earthquake and fire,
and who fled from the hotel, leaving
nearly $4,000 worth of jewelry and
diamonds in their rooms, have received
the valuables from the Inflated city.
The diamonds and jewelry we're
shipped to Mr.. Busch in a small Jewel
basket by express. Instead of attrac-
tive ornaments that have been admired
by thousands of persons in this and Eu-
ropean countries, the basket presented
a mass of melted gold, in which were
imbedded an assortment of diamonds
from the white solitaire to the chin
variety. Pendants and bars of solid
gold were bent and blackened into an
almost unre,ognizable condition.
The diamonds were discolored and
will have to be repolished and reset.

Damage by Frost.

Abbeville, La: Weather conditions
continue very unfavorable for the
crops, and the frost of Thursday morn
ing causes grave apprehension as to
the extent and severity of the damage
to the young growth. Cotton and rice
in many instances are believed to be
hurt to the point of requiring replant-
ing, while the young corn will be re-
tarded. The prevailing north winds
have aggravated the evils caused by
the long dry spell, and offer little hope
of the much needed rain. The pump
ing plants have started up and will be
kpt busy flooding the young rice Of
early planting.

Lake Charles, Rayne, Gueydan, jean

thoroughly gone o>er. No details as
Ito the object of the meeting were Civ.

fact that the stocks of Japan riceS are

that the object Of the meeting had to

those who are crying aloud the evils
