Chelsea, Mass, Aug. 26.-Quickly,
and without warning, a forty-tive-foot
high brick wall In Chelsea square col
lapsed, burying beneath it several work
men. Eight were killed outright or
died in ambulances on the way to the
hospitals. About twenty others were
injured, eleven Of whom were taken to
hospitals and some of whom are seri-
Ously injured. A number of others es-
capped with but minor bruises. The
victims were all Russian Jews and
Italians.
Five minutes before the collapse of
the wall Inspector of Buildings Wey.
mouth had ordered the foreman Of the
gang to stop. work in the excavation at
the foot of the wall which crumbled.
1t was planned to build a four-story
house on the spot, which was the site
Of the old Academy Of Music To the
left stood the Odd Fellows building and
postoffice, which was destroyed by the
great fire Of April IL last The wall
which fell upon the workmen stood
against the Park hotel on the other
side Large beams of wood were being
fitted into this old wall in order that il
might be utilized for the new structure
1t is claimed that the wall was under
mined by the large holes that were dug
into it, and that with no proper sup
port above, 1t gave way.
Building Inspector Whitney had just
left the excavation and was but a few
rods away when the mass of bricks anC
mortar fell down upon the gang OF
Men who were at work there. The col
lapse came Unexpectedly, and only Q
few of the workmen had time to jump
to safety.
Following the collapse a cloud OF
white dust circled all about the spot
and when the passersby reached tn,
scene they beheld a huge heap Of bricks
mortar and planking, and the strug
Cling forms of injured laborers.
The work Of rescue began immedi
ately. All Of the injured men were il

Owing to the danger Of further co,

Big Gooseberry Pies.

Yesterday was the anniversary of
the time honored Gooseberry Fair at
Tollesbury, and a feature of the sur
vival has always been the baking of
huge ~gooseberry pies. The object
was to give a welcome home to faith
ers and brothers who have been
away on racing or pleasure yachts or
fishing, and each family used to pre-.
pare a huge pie for its Homecoming
seafarers in speciality large dishes.
There have been Tollesbury pies that
held as much as a peck or half a
peck of fruit, and tradition even re-
lates that one pie was so large that
the local baker had to remove one or

HtsGEN HEADS NEW PARTY
Nominated For President on hide

John Temple Graves, Of Georgia,
Named as the Candidate For Vice.
President-Bryan Man Put Out

Chicago, I1l.-Thomas L.. Hisgen,
independent oil r%efner, Of Massachu-
sets, and unbeaten foe of the Stand
ard Oil Company, was nominated for
President by the Independence par
TVS first national convention on the
third ballot.
AS it required a t%wo-thirds vote to
nominate it looked for a time as if
Mr.. Hisgen would not land the prize.
All of the candidates-Hisgen, How
ard, Lyon and Graves-were out of
the hall, as was MI. Hearst.
At LOS the result of the first bal
lot was announced as follows: Tho
mas L. Hisgen, 306; M. w. Howard,
200; w. r. Hearst, 40; John T.
Graves, 213; R. R. Lyon, no record.
AS it required 666 votes to nominate
there was no result.
The second ballot was: Hisgen,
500; Hearst, 40; Howard, 100;
Graves, 189-again no result.
The third ballot was begun amid
counter cries of "Hisgen" and
Graves"
1t was apparent before the compile
ton of the third ballot that Hisgen
had been nominated.
Hisgen, 831; Graves, II; Howard,
So; Hearst, 2.
The convention then nominated
John Temple Graves, of Georgia and
New York, for Vice-President.
An attempt by John 1. Shepard, a
delegate from Kansas, to stampede
the convention for Mr.. Bryan pro-
voked a riot in the convention hall
and the arrest Of half a dozen Bryan
shouters. The convention was in an
uproar for nearly an hour. The po-
lice reserves were summoned and dis
couraged any further efforts at stam-
peding.
Mr. Shepard was piloted from the
the platform under escort by the
Hearst leaders, led by Charles J..
Shearn, to prevent a threatened as
sault on him by delegates from New
York and California.

that from actual figures obtained

Europe has been falling. France has
been suffering for a long time from

Other readings show even less IA

ticeable during the spring than dur
Ing other periods of the year. Similar
phenomena are recorded in Great
Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Aus
tria and Germany. In the days of
Philip Auguste, in the thirteenth
century, the wines of Etampes and
Beauvals were the favorite bever-
ages at court. Henry ", a pro-
