Tlie Sequel to Friday Night's
Tragedy.
MRS.
KENYQN . POISONED
United States Regnlars Ordered to
the Scene of the Trouble at
Seattle.
Associated Press.
. Corvallis. May 12. Last night's sen.
sational shooting terminated In a terrh
ble tragedy. The lifeless body of Mrs.
Kenyon was found today near the scene
of the shooting, while close by her Dr.
Applewhite lay weltering In his blood,
but still alive. He now lies at his home
in a critical condition.
The - bodies were found In a bushy
ravine, half a mile from the scene of
the shooting. They lay side by side, the
woman dead from the effects of a 20.
grain dose of morphine, and Applewhite
suffering from the effects of a dose of
the same drug, with two gashes from a
pocket knife In the neck and cuts In
each wrist, made in an attempt to open
his arteries. He waa entirely conscious.
He talked freely and said he tried to
kill Kenyon, but meant no'harm to the
woman. When he found she was shot
he administered poison to her and him
self. He attempted to use his reyirfver
when the officers appr.iached, tut the
cuMlng of his wrist tendons rendered
him powerless. Surgical Instruments
and the contents of a medical case lay
In confusion around the bodies. Apple-,
white seems to be rational, but his
friends claim he was insane when he
committed the deed.

ulent practices brought against the
American trotting horse owner, Robert

money matters, which eventually re
sulted In an explosion, which caused the
charges of fraud against Kneebes.

A BIG DEVILFISH.
A very large devilfish caught In a
seine out near Cape Flattery was ex
hibited recently at a flBh market on Pa
cific avenue. It would measure ten feet
from tip to tip of Its feelers, being an
unusually large specimen.
Hon. Ross J. Alexander, of Ohio, on
of the Puyallup commission, saw the
fish, and was deeply Interested In It.
After examining the monster he return
ed to hla hotel and began to write up a
description of It to end east. When he
came to mentioning the number of
suckers" It had on Its feelers, he pul
the number at 25. Thinking upon re
flection that that was too many, he re
turned to the fish market to Investlgnto.
After counting 40 "suckers" on the feel
er, and not having counted more man
one-fourth of them, he gave up the task
as being too tedious, and put the num
ber at 150. Mr. Alexander made quite a
study of the big fish, and a crowd soon
collected around the door of the market.
Speaking to a Ledger reporter, he said:
'.Such things as those fish should bt
written up.' They would Interest every
person that picked up the paper. It
waa one of the moat Interesting thing
that X ever aaw. No hook in the world
would bring one of thoee monsters up
from the bottom of the ocan, for It
would bring up the very bottom of the
ocean, with It. I can well understand
how fatal these devilfish are when sev
eral of those feeler are wrapped about
Its victim two or three times with those
Innumerable 'suckers' pumping the life
out of It." Taroma Ledger.

A GREAT BUILDING.
A recent writer, speaking of the man
ufactures building at the World's Fair,
has sold:
It waa Indeed an unprecedented prob
lem, to Bpread a ponderous glass and
iron roof over a thirty-acre field, or an ,
area two-thirds as large as Boston com
mon, four times the area of New York's
Madison Square, and seven tlmea as
large as Philadelphia's Independence
square. Consider, alao, the loftiness or
that Incomparable nave, the crown of
whose arch Is 211 feet above the ground,
or within nine feet of the height of
Bunker Hill monument, and almost ex
actly the height of Baltimore's prince
ly monument to President Washington,
Indeed, there are not many church
dpi res In America which reach this Im
mense altitude, and the roof line In
question does not reach it by the uplift
of a lone cross or finlal, but Is continued
In that dizzy height for the astonishing
distance of a third of a mile.
The Roman Coliseum seated 87,000 .
people, when In the full excitement of
a battle between "star" gladiators; and
the manufactures building could seat
380,000. Yet even Roman architectural
genlua shrank from placing a perma
nent roof over lta great variety show,
and only ventured upon an awning of
light canvas. The Chicago structure,
however, although erected for very
transient use, received a glass and Iron
roof of Immense weight and solidity, '
which over-arched an area large tnough
to hold halt a dozen Coliseums. That
roof waa In Itself almost a miracle. For
get statistics and consider facts, and
see. It ' was upneia oy twenty-seven
vast iron trusses, or arms, each weigh
ing more than 200,000 tons, and spanning
380 feet. The enormous weight of either
of these would have crushed to powder
any ordinary floor or foundation, so
each was baaed upon a mighty Inter
locked mass of logs and Iron, resting
up in thirty-five deep-driven piles. At
their bases the iron arms were fourteen
feet thick, and where they clasped
hands at tho apex they were ten feet
thick.
This waa the largest building ever
constructed by human hands. Let this
always be remembered. It Is a para
mount distinction. The Europeans have
tried for thousands of years to con
struct buildings Imposing from their
very mass, but have never even ap
proaohed tho majestic comprehensive
ness of this temple of peaceful arts.
