people are unwilling to accept the sticker

B TO ETERNITY
TerriMc Disaster Ttis Msrninj in
Washington City.
FOKD'S OLD THEATER COLLAPSED
Was Filled With Department Clerks at
the Time Large Number of
Lives Lost.
Washington, June 9. 9 :15 Ford'
opera house on Tenth street, in w hich
President Lincoln was assassinated, has
just fallen in. About X) government
clerks were in the building at the lime,
and a great loss of life is feared.
The first floor collapsed through
weakness caused by excavating the cel
lar, and in its fall carried down three
floors, and with them the hundreds of
clerks. The dead and wounded are be
ing taken out rapidly by the firemen
and police. All the ambulances in the
city have been summoned, and the res
cued are lieing conveyed to the hospitals.
It is feared 100 people have Ix-en killed.
The scenes are terrible. Some jumped
from the third floor. The walls are still
standing, but every floor is down and
every window is blown out. Tlie build
ing has been condemned as unsafe for
some time, but sentiment kept it un
changed. The floors were heavily
loaded w ith records of the record and
elision divisions of the war department.
Tlie clerk employed there were all men.
Corrected accounts bs to the cause of
the accident are now partialiy obtain
able. The exenvations w hich were the
immediate cause of tlie collapse were
being made at the instance of the w ar
department for the purpose of putting
in an electric light plunt. As already
t-Uted, the insecurity of the building has
been repeuledly reported for a Jong time
pust. Whenever a heavily loaded
wagon bus gone by the building seemed
to sway backward and forward, as clerks
descrilie the sensation. When the firet
rumbling warning of the collapse came,
the clerks on the third floor, to the num
ber of 80 or 100, rushed to the w indows
and jumped for the roofs of the email
buildings adjoining on the northwest
side. Many escaped in this way.
One of the workmen, a colored man,
who was employed in excavating the
cellar, and who escaped with only slight
cuts, said: "I told them yesterday that
the archway would fall, for every time
any one walked over the floor it would
bend. I tell yo'i I was scared, and got
out just as quickly as I could. There
were 20 men at work with me, and I
don't know w hat became of them."
The Late Milliard Match.
The match between Frank C. Ives, the
billiard champion of the United States,
and John Roberts, one of the greatest
living bilhardist,
0ened at London,
Eng., May 20, con.
tinued six day and
was won by Mr Ives
with the most re
markable score ever
made. Ives Is just
years oi age anu v
it is only three Vt
venrs since he. has ..
figured prominently Tka
In the billiard world. He was born at
I'lainville, Mich. As be has always bad
a lnncy for billiards, be bus given much
time to the study and practice ever
since he was a youngster. His first real
match took dace in New Y'ork citv in
1890. In 1802 lie defeated both Schaefer
and SIossoii in contests for the world's
championship. He was confident of
w inning in tlu6 match.
Of his oponeiit, there is probably no
man more widely known than John
berts, the F.nglisli billiard champion.
Koberts was Isirn
in Ardwick, Man
chester, Kugland,
in 1847. His father,
John Kolierts, Sr.,
was for many years
the billiard cham
pion of Kugland, so
be comes naturally
by his skill. When
only 1 1 years old be
assisted his father
at the Oeorge Hotel, in Liverpool,
which was a great rendezvous for knights
of the cue, and has lieen playing ever
since. Koberts has defeated every
player of note In F.nglaud, and for the
last 20 years has lxtMi the undisputed
champion.

question ns to what he thought of the
financial aspect of recent numerous
bank failures throughout the country :
"I do not think there is any oicasion
whatever for alarm in legitimate busi
ness circles over these assignments. A
great majority of these defunct institu
tions were not on a fhrm foundation, and,
of course, went down when the storm
came. I believe the standard banks of
the country ure ts safe as they ever
were, and that is as safe as they can be.
These suseneion w ill have no perma
nent effect on the finance of the coun
try or its business men. After thi
strain is over the nation will be in a
much better condition, for the weak
concerns w ill have been weeded out."

that Mrs. Frank Leslie will soon be le

fore Keferee Grant
K. Taylor in New
York May 20. The
charges made of

are chiefly of drunk

Leslie charged that
Willie had violated
iiis marriage vow In London, the wo
man in the case being Teresa Laltruche,
better known in London as Mme. Car
men and testified that Willie had been
intimate with her. This is the evidence
that will give to Mrs. Ieslie her di

that she lie granted an absolute di

Mrs. Wilde is of French descent, and

At the death of her husband she took up

The Coroner Engaged in Making Prepa
rations for the Inipiest,
Resumed Tomorrow.
Wasiiinoton, June 11. The remains
of the victim of the horrible wreck of
Ford' theater have nearly all been dig
posed of. Washington was today a city
of funerals, and all day long mourners
huve gone about the streets. Everyone
knew what the sad processions meant,
and the sympathy of all was extended,
albeit unexpressed in many case to the
sorrowing ones. Inquiry confirm the
statement that none of the victim were
men of property. Most of them lived on
their salaries, which furnished a means
of livelihood, but left little for a day
like this.
Deputy Coroner Shaffer was engaged
today in making preparations for the in
quest, which w ill be held tomorrow. He
bus subpu'iiaed several witnesses and it
is his intention to secure all the eye
witnesses to the affair he can.
Dr. McGlynn Gone to Home.
New York, June 9. Dr. Mc Glynn
w ill probably be in Koine Saturday or
Sunday. He goes to the Eternal city in
obedience to the order of the papal
delegate, Monsignore Satolli, who rein
stated him in his priestly office. Mr.
Stephens said : "Dr. McGlynn goes to
Koine. He simply obeys the order of
the pope's representative. Ho will
come back, we firmly believe, fully and
absolutely vindicated in his course, so
far as the land question and politics are
concerned. The known leaning of Leo
XIII to democracy, strengthened by
the attitude his holiness ha assumed
toward William II of Germany, makes
us confident in that respect."

FxLENsBfKoH, Wash., June 9. A
uotice was posted on the doors of the
banking house of Benjamin A. Snipes &
Co. this morning that the bank had
temporarily suspended owing to a heavy
withdrawal of deposits and the inability
to realize on securities amply sufficient
to pay $j for $1 of indebtedness. A run
on tlie branch bank at Koslyn yesterday
precipitated the closing of the parent in
this city. There is no excitement over
tlie suspension, and the bank has the
sympathy ami confidence of the entire
public.

ManauI'a, Nicaragua, June 9. An at
tempt to Jassassinate President Machado
Nicaragua was happily nipied in the
bud, und, though a few persons wen
killed on both sides, much bloodshed
was averted, ow ing to timely warning.
Minister Kaker is apparently disgusted
w ith the Nicaraguans' lack of good faith,
and ho is loath to lend himself to fur
ther good otlices in behalf of either side.
Should the entire diplomatic corps hoid
aloof from the struggle, it is more than
lfkely that there will be more lighting
