SCAFFOLD GAVE WAY.
Illatreaalna; Accident t the Laying of a
Church Corner-Htone.
Lorain, O., Oct. 8.---While a great
crowd of people were assembled this
afternoon to witness the laying of the
oorner-stone of the new St. Mary's
cathedral, a temporary floor, upon
which many were standing, suddenly
gave way, precipitating many men,
women and children into the basement.
Two were killed outright, ' ton fatally
injured and between thirty and forty
others badly hurt The services .were
just about to begin when the accident
happened.
Fully 80,000 people were around the
platform, which had been constructed
above tho foundation of the edifice.
The boards forming the floor had been
laid aoross joists, whioh were support
ed in the middle by upright posts.
Those supports broke and the floor went
down with a crash. Fully SOO per
sons were thrown into the pit formed
by the sagging iu the middle of the
floor.
For a moment everybody was para
lyzod by the calamity, but soon there
was a rush forward by those willing
to lend assistance to the oruphed and
Btrugging people. This made matters
worse, for fifty more persons were
orowded forward into a hole upon those
who went down with the floor. When
the confusion had subsided somewhat,
many of those who were able to extri
cate themselves did so by walking or
orawling over the less fortunate. - The
work of rescue was begun at once and
all were finally taken from the pit
The old Catholic church was at once
tnrnod into a hospital. A score of doc
tors were oalled and they were kept for
hours oaring for the injured, several of
whom will die before morning.
The accident was due to defective
timbers. The oontraotor was told yes
terday that the platform was insecure,
but be said it would hold all the peoplo
that would be orowded on it There
wore between 1,000 and 2,000 on it
when it gave way. Despite the aooi
dent the services continued, and the
laying of the oorner stone was com
pleted. Swallowed the Dlamouda.
Denver, Oct 8. Erwin Clarke, the
diamond broker who was arrested at
San Franoisoo and brought to Denver
to answer charges of embezzloment of
several thousand dollars' worth of
precious stouea, has become very ill
since his arrival here. The physician
in attendance believes that Clarke
swallowed some diamonds.
WORK ON THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
The Need or a Nutiouul Irrigation Oom
mlaalon In the Future,
Washington, Oct 8. I. W. La
moreaux, commissioner of the general
land office, has made bis annual report
to the secretary of the interior. Com
pared with 1804 there has been a de
crease in land entries of 1 9,0115 and of
0,016,08 acres entered upon; a decrease
of final entries to the number of 0,584
and 850,059 acres entered upon, and a
decrease of cash receipts of 1784,870.
Discussing the act of the lust con
gress granting land to states for irriga
tion purposes, Commissioner Lamor
eaux says he believes that the necessity
will arise in the near future for the
oreution of a national commission
whose function it shall be to regulate
the distribution of these waters which
have their noun in a superadjacont
state and which have heretofore been
used in common by the people of that
and the snbadjacent states.
The commissioner closes his report
with the following recommendations:
A law to compel the attendance of
witnesses at land offices in contest
cases; an appropriation of $50,000 an
nually for making examinations neces
sary for the establishment of forest
reservations and for the protection of
reservations already existing; an ap
propriation for six attorneys to super
vise and direct the proceedings of spe
ciul agents operating in as many differ
ent districts to be designated; legisla
tion for the pi o tec tion aud disposal of
public timber; placing the surveying
of public lands under the geological
survey; legislation creating the office
of surveyor-general of Alaska; an ap
propriation for eighty copyists to tran
scribe the press-copy records of the
land office into permanent records; the
establishment of a district land office for
Alaska, with a register and receiver,
having the same duties as like officers
in the other states and territories; that
the appropriations for survey be made
continuous, and legislation for the ap
pointment of a board of examiners
of surveyors instead of having exami
nations under the present system,
The report shows that there were
eighty-two miles of standard and base
lines surveyed in California during the
year, 854 township lines, 1,385 section
and connecting lines and 473 grant and
meander lines. During the year the
Central Pacific Railway Company de
posited $7,513 for field work and $2,-
498 for offioe work on lands selected
and patented under their land grants.
The work in arrears will take from six
to nine months to complete, and the
surveyor-general of California wants a
properly skilled draftsman for the
work. As yet no action has been taken
by the department of justice respecting
tho Benson claims and the commission
er has therefore nothing new to report
on the subject
A THRILLING TRIP IN MID-AIR.
A Ilalloon Sail, for an Hoar With the
Guide Vnconacloua.
Lowell, Masa, Oct. 8. Dr. W. L.
Rombough and D. A. Sullivan had a
wonderful balloon trip yesterday with
Professor Allen of Providence. The
balloon ascension was made from
North Common in the presence of 10,
000 people.
Mr. Sullivan, in reaching for the
carrier pigeon which Professor Allen
was to hand to him, discovered that
the professor was unconscious. They
barely had time to seize his legs to pre
vent him from falling headlong from
the car.
The balloon, without any guide,
passed through Tewksbnry and And
over, and then changed its conrse
towards Bedford aud Lexington. It
was nearly an hour in the air, and Dr.
Rombough and Mr. Sullivan were
nearly exhausted when a landing was
made near North Lexington. Profos
sor Allen did not fully recover consci.
ousness for some time after the land.
ing of the balloon. It is thought that
he was rendered insensible from gas
escaping in the balloon. His compan
ions do not know what caused the bal
loon to descend. They suppose that
in his struggles for air the professor
may have touched the valve which
oausod the gas to escape.
DEBS' RELEASE FROM JAIL
Labor Aaaoclatlona In a Turmoil Over
the Propoaed Demouatratloll.
Chicago, Oot 8. Chicago labor or
ganizations are again in a turmoil, this
time over the reception which it was
proposed to be given to Eugene V.
Debs on his release from Woodstock
jail. At a meeting of the Labor Con
gress today it was reported that ar
rangements for the reception were pro
gressing, while at a meeting ol tne
Trades and LRbor Assembly several
delegates expressed their disgust with
the entire matter, and said they had
oome to the conclusion that Debs was
not much of a martyr after all. It de
veloped lster that the officers of the
Trades and Labor Assembly olaim to
have discovered that upon his release
Debs will enter upon what they call a
war on trades unions, and will endea
vor to establish a political organiza
tion, with headquarters at Chioago.
There is some amusement among old
time trades unionists over the efforts
of a committee representing the recent
ly organized Labor Congress to get the
railroads to grant a special rate of fare
to those who will go to Woodstock to
do honor to President Debs.
More Trouble for Uruguay.
New York, Oot 7. The Herald cor
respondent in Montevideo telegraphs
that General Estevan has started with
a force for the frontier. He goes to
try to suppress a revolution whioh was
started by the Blanoo party, aided by
several men who had been engaged in
the revolution in Rio Grande do Sul,
Brazil. The revolutionists are well
armed, and it is said they are led by
Apauaoio Saravia.

good trail leads from these mountains,
which abound in deer now, to the coast
at Checto, where, it is said, the skin
ners find ready buyers for their hides
and enjoy a profitable business undis

it was not unusual to oome aoross a
dozen carcasses of deer during a day,
left to rot upon the ground by these
law violators. j
PLACE OF THE FIGHT.
A Novel I ropoaltlon Kecelved From the
Choctaw Indiana
New Orleans, Oct 7. Information
from a private source, received in this
city tonight, says that the Choctaw
tribe in the Indian territory intended
to adopt Corbet t as a member of their
tribe that the fight may be brought off
in their nation. When asked what be
would do under the circumstances,
Corbett said he would accept the honor.
He further said that he would paint
bis face red, wear an eagle feather in

self look like an Indian, just so he
could get a chance at Fitzsinunons.

San yuentln'a Thyalcian.
San Francisco, Oct 7. The Exam
iner charges that Dr. Leroy Mansfield,
physician at San Quentin prison, has
accepted money from friends of a prig,
oner in consideration of his influence
to be used in obtaining a pardon. Dr.
Mansfield admits that he received $50
from two Greeks, whose names he
does not remember. He says the money
was paid to him to be used in the pur
chase of delicacies for a Greek convict
who is dying of consumption. He gave
no receipt for the money and deposited
it in a bank in bis own name. The
friends of the convict, who is serving a
sentence for manslaughter, are en
deavoring to secure a pardon for him.
The doctor promised to help them, be
says, but has not yet done anything.
Dr. Mansfield admitted that the trans
action looked crooked, but insisted that
he had not taken the money for pur
poses other than to purchase delicacies
for the prisoner. In the presence of an
Examiner representative today he paid
$50 to Warden Hale, which wn credit
ed to the prisoner's account. The con
vict, whose name is Donguli, says he
has been provided with nothing except
from the prison supplies. Warden
Hale did not care to express an opinion
upon the conduct of Mansfield until he
had made a personal investigation.

feeling toward the suffering and pa
triotio Cubans who are struggling for

upon every prominent organization in
the country for the co-oneration of its
branches in every section. Churches of
every denomination, and fraternal and
benevolent societies will also be called
upon for assistance in making the mass
meeting on October 81 a great wave of
publio opinion and sympathy with the
Cuban cause from the Pacific to the

An Oregon Girl Deaerted for a Bike.
San Francisco, Oct 5. Frances
Morrton Zeile, young, pretty and an
actress, wants a divorce from her boy
husband, a husband who, the neighbors
say, was lured from his bride of an
hour by the promise of his papa to buy
for him a bicycle. Young Zeile, the
son of a wealthy doctor, secretly mar
ried Frances Morrton about a year ago.
Both were under age, but that made
no difference to Zeile, and they were
married. An hour later he bid bis
bride goodbye, and she has not seen
him since. The promise of a bicycle,
it is said, was the bait that tempted
him away. Young Mrs. Zeile has ap
peared on the local stage in several
piays, out sue says sue will give up
the profession and return to her father
in Oregon when she secures her divorce.
She apparently has no ill-feeling
toward her husband, and says:
"I hope he will go back to shoool
and be a good boy."

steamer Humboldt is fast going to
pieces on the rocks at Point Gorda.
Heavy seas have been beating against
the vessel for some days, and the for

CONDITION IS CRITICAL
Constantinople Riots the Sen
sation in London.
BLAME PLACED ON ARMENIAN'S
The Introduction of a Kellglous Ele
ment In the Diaturbancea Makes
the Situation More Grave.
London, Oct. 5. The critical condi
tion of affairs at Constantinople is the
sensation of the day, and all the dis
patches from that city .are read with
the greatest eagerness. Many import
ant reports are known to have been re
ceived at the foreign office from Sir
Cnrry, the British ambassador at Con
stantinople, and the feeling here is not
entirely favorable to the Armenians.
The appointment of Kiamie Pasha as
grand vizer, recently announced, is re
garded as a happy circumstance at the
present juncture of affairs. He has
the reputation of being one of the most
broadminded statesmen of the Otto
man empire.
The St James's Gazette points out
this evening how the events which
have occurred at Constantinople were
correctly foretold by the press reports,
which, April 19, told bow the patriotic
party of Armenia had been fomenting
a general revolt, and that the leaders
promised that the chief attack wonld
be made in the city of Constantinople,
and that the bulk of the fighting
would be borne by Armenians. It was
added at that time the leaders had
even gone so far as to declare that the
first attack would be on the palace of
the aultan and that the reign of Hamid
would come to an end. Finally, it
was stated that there were men who
believed that, in the overthrow of the
sultan, the Armenians would be en
couraged by the younger and more pro
gressive generation of Constantinople
Turks.
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Standard, under date of Wednes
day, telegraphs to his paper:
The Armenian patriarch was invit
ed to attend the porte, but he declined
because none of his followers were al
lowed to accompany him. He remain
ed at his residence with several hun
dred armed Armenians. The authori
ties have sumomned him to surrender
these people, giving them until 8
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
building will be stormed.
"In reviewing the incidents of the
past two days, it has been found that
the police have generally not been sup
plied with ball cartridges, and have
been instructed only to use the flat of
their swords and the butts of their
rifles. Most of the violence npon Ar
menians has been committed by stu
dents and the low class of Moslems,
whom the police, however, do not ap
pear to have arrested or interfered
with.
"Great consternation prevails at the
palace, and the sultan haa not been in
bed since Monday. It is felt that a
crisis has arrived, and there is much
anxiety lest other revolutionary fao
tions shall join with the Armenians,
Since the Greek revolution, Constan
tinople has not fallen in such terror as
is now prevailing."
The Telegram's correspondent wires
his paper as follows:
"The police have not yet attempted
to clear the patriarchate, and it is
hoped that they will not resort to .
force, for a most fearful massacre
would inevitably result The Armen
ians have huddled together in the
church, with barely standing room.
They have to depend for food upon such
scraps as are brought to them. It is
estimated at the patriarchate that over
200 Armenians have been killed"
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from Constantinople, dated Thursday,
says: - ,
"I received intelligence from Erzer
oum today that in Khnonss and other
parts of Armenia further disturbances
may be expected, unless measures are
taken immediately to calm the people,
who are emigrating wherever they
can."
WHEELMEN OBJECT.
Railroad Official. May Refute to Check
Blcyclea aa Baggage.
San Francisco, Oot 4. What the
wheelmen of the coast have considered
as one of their inalienable rights dur
ing the past fifteen years seems in dan
ger of being taken from them, as the
railroad officials are considering the ad
visability of charging for the trans
portation of wheels, when accompanied
by their owners.
"Is a bicycle baggage?" is the ques
tion which has agitated the railroad
authorities ever since cycling has as
sumed its present proportions.
The wheelmen cannot understand
why there should be any question in
the matter, as every passenger travel
ing on a first class ticket is entitled to
a certain amount of baggage an
amount greatly in excess of a bicycle,
which at the present time seldom ex
ceeds twenty-five pounds in weight
The railroads in the northern part
of America decided some time since to
charge for bicycles," said T. H. Good
man when questioned regarding the
matter. "What are classed as the
Southern roads, whioh would include
all in this state, have had the question
in consideration and I cannot say when
it will be decided, perhaps in two
weeks, and again it might not be set
tled for months."
At the meeting of the associated
clubs on Saturday evening the question
will be discussed, and efforts will
probably be made to effect an amicable
settlement of the matter with the rail
