DlilN ANOWS optCldi.
Jackson, Miss, October IA panic
caused by the falling of a stairway in
the Coliseum building just after the
conclusion of Booker T. Washington's
speech yesterday afternoon. resulted
in several broken limbs and a number
of more or less serious bruises. almost
all the victims being negroes.
Mr.. Thos Helm, a wealthy citizen
of Jackson, had an arm broken, and
Bishop Chas. p. Galloway and one or
two other white persons sustained
slight bruises. Two or three negroes
had limbs broken and perhaps a score
of them carried away bruises.
For some time the building has been
used as a skating rink, and the stair
ways had been removed from their
proper places and put up in a temper
ary fashion at other points. They
were never intended to support any
great number of people at once, and
the Washington crowd was composed
of at least 5000 or 5000 negroes, and
several hundred white persons.
1t had been very warm in the
building and when the speaking was
over there was a grand rush for the
exits. Those who were on the second
floor rushed to the stairway. and when
it fell there were as many people I'M
der it as could be crowded in that
much space. The injured persons
were under the stairway. those on top
coming out without serious harm.
Practically all the physicians in the
city were summoned to the scene, and
several Of them were kept busy for
some time in dressing the wounds Of
those injured. For a time there was
great excitement, and this was in
creased by a report that Bishop Gallo
way was among those seriously hurt.
1t proved, however, that he had only
a small scratch on the elbow, which
amounted to practically nothing.
During the panic there was a gen.
eral rush for the doors and windows
and many persons jumped through the
windows carrying the sash with them.
Hats and coats were found scattered
along the north side of the big build
ing. and it was fully an hour after
the meeting broke up before quiet was
fully restored.
1t was reported last night that one
of the injured negro women, Martha
Dozier, would probably die, having a
broken leg and other injuries, but she
is still alive, and it is now stated that
she will recover.

THAW is ADJUDGED A

ACTION IS A SURPRISE TO
CREDITORS
Believed Prisoner viii Be at Pitts,

Spite of Jerome's Efforts
to BaIk Move
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 12.-Harry K.
Thaw was formally adjudged bank
rupt at IL o'clock today by Referee in
Bankruptcy w. r. Blair. This action
was a surprise to those interested in
the case, as United States Commission
er VIM. T. Lindsey had set August Il
as the date for the adjudication.
No explanation of the change OF
plans was made, but it is believed
here that Receiver Roger O'Meara's
visit to Poughkeepsie yesterday may
have had something to do with the
move. No hearing was held previous
to the entering of the formal order of
adjudication, and Referee Blair has
not announced the date of the meeting
Of Thaw's creditors. Under the law it
must be held not sooner than ten days
and not later than thirty days.
Referee Blair will probably announce
the date for the meeting of creditors
tomorrow.
An effort will be made to bring Thaw
to Pittsburg for the first meeting of
creditors, and unless District Attorney
Jerome of New York is able to prevent
his coming, it is believed Thaw will be
in Pittsburg within thirty days.
Thaws petition in bankruptcy was
filed August Z, and Roger O'Meara
was named as receiver
The petition sets forth that Thaw's
liabilities are $453,140.43 and his assets

PROPOSE FRESH ADDITION
TO COURT HOUSE PROPERTY
Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. ia
cure a strip of ground forty feet wide
to the south of the court house for the
charging of it's grounds. This will re-
move an unsightly blemish from that
side of the county buildings. An old
structure occupies the ground and is
used as a saloon. The noise there fire.
quently interferes with the court pro-
ceedings, as both superior court rooms
are on that side of the building. 1t is
believed the property can be secured
reasonably.
The movement was renewed by the
jurors in the recent Houghton case,
they being greatly annoyed by what
they saw and heard out of the windows
on that side.
