the Caucasus and all parts of Europe.
He also proposes to interpellate the
minister of communications on the
ability Of the railroads, particularly in
the Caucasus and transcaucasta to
transport troops quickly to the south

WEAKENED FE00D'
1wo ThreeStery Brick Houses
Collapse at Pittsburg,
OCCUPANTS BARELY ESCAPE
Warned by Cracking Walls All but
One Of the Score Of Inmates
Get Out Safely.

Pittsburg, Feb. 17.-With q great
roar two brick dwelling houses at %
and "a Penn avenue, in the district
Inundated by the food waters. col
lapsed and fell into the street. A
score Of occupants, warned by the
cracking walls, barely had time to
reach the street before tons of brick
and plaster tumbled into the streets.
U. G. Anderson was cut and bruised
by flying debris and eighteen other
persons narrowly escaped being
crushed to death. All but Anderson
rushed to the street in their night
clothes just moment before the
three-story brick building fell in a
heap. For some time great excite
ment prevailed, as it was reported
many persons had been buried under
the debris. Hurried calls for police
reserves, ambulances and fremen
were sent in and search of the ruins
begun. Anderson's voice could. be
heard calling for help and frantic ef-
forts were made to release him. 1t
was found the man was wedged be-
tween heavy t,mbers in the basement
and over him were tons of brick and
plaster braced in such a manner,
however, that he was entombed, but
not seriously injured. After several
hours work he was released and sent
to a hospital, where it was later
stated he would recover,
Cracking Walls Give Warning.
The escape Of the other occupants
was miraculous. The loud cracking
of the walls a few minutes before the
houses collapsed served as a warning
and saved all from being crushed.
The passing food was responsible for
the accident. The foundations Of both
dwellings, which were old, had been
weakened by the high water, causing
them to collapse. Other buildings in
the vicinity are in a like condition
and building inspectors are making a
thorough examination of the places.

The social given last Friday
evening by the ladies OF the Pres
byterian church complimentary to
their pastor, Rev. j b Waller,
and family was the most delightful
affair of the season. The church
was artistically decorated with
beautiful ferns, aud other choice
plants and presented a lovely ap.
p"arance. The program of the
evening consisted OF vocal aud in.
strumenial music, refreshments,
etc., and was rendered eft for q
king" The manner in which the
various numbers were carried out
proved bevond doubt that the
numerous committees had worked
INCREASINGLY for many days to make
the reception a success. From the
time the editice's doors were thrown
open till the departing hour every
thing seemed to be worked by one
piece of mechanism, showing hat
the ladies had been we'll selected by
the president, Mrs L III. Bald

and that each one had her part to
perfection, az it were. In the

which the members thereof fulfilled
their part of the program. Miss
