Nov. 19.—The first acci dent on the new state bridge at this place occurred yesterday. Two men. Charles Walton and Clyde Baptiste, were painting the steel work of the bridge and were sitting on a swing hung by ropes, when, it is supposed the knot slipped and dropped them into the stream. Boats were manned at once and went to the rescue; Walton told the men to save Baptiste, as he was a good swimmer and could take care of himself. Baptiste was rescued just as he was sinking for the last lime. Walton was swimming for the shore, when he was seen to throw up his hands and with a scream he sunk end did not rise again. The supposition is that he was seiz ed with a cramp, as he was an expert swimmer. The river is now being dragged to recover the body, but the treacherous Snake seldom gives up its dead. Walton came here from Salt Lake and his parents reside in Bevier, Mo. His wife is in this city and is an in valid. and it is feared the shock will prove fatal to her. Gamblers Indicted. Portland.

World's Fair Grounds. St. Louis, Nov. 21.—The Missouri state building at the World's Fair was destroyed by fire Last night. The exact cause of the fire is not known, further than that some employes who were at work in the basement came running out saying that a hot water heater had exploded. They and others al once returned to Che basement, but could make no headway toward checking the fire. A ventilating shaft only a few feet from the origin of the fire contributed enormously to Its spread, and before the fire had spread 20 feet from the exploded heater the flames were roaring up the shaft nearly to the roof. Fifteen minutes after the explosion the ro tunda. the cupola und north wing were In flames. The fire spread with euch rapidity that very few effects were taken from the building, and nearly the entire exhibit is a total loss. Portraits In oil of all the governors and supreme court judges of the state from its or- ganizatlon. were In the building, and all were burned. The building cost »145.OuO, and the furnishings and exhibits were easily valued at »75,000. Not over »10.000 worth of effects were saved. There was not a dollar of Insurance on either the building or Its contents. The Liberal Arts building and the United States government building were in great danger and were saved only by vigorous work and a great quantity of water. Both were show ered with burning debris from the Missouri state building, carried by a stiff south wind. The building was so completely de stroyed that only a portion of the south wall was left standing when the fire had been quenched, and with out warning It collapsed, burying George Carenbach, Jerry Fagin, Lloyd Randolph, Frank O’Connor and Ed ward O’Neill, all firemen. Carenbach was killed and Fagin will probably die. All the others named were se- rlously hurt. Mrs. Belle Hall Small, of Sedalia, one of the state hostesses, while try- Ing to remove property from the burning building, was overcome by smoke and was taken out unconscious by a fireman. start SiaK-tiood < ani|mign.

Of course her dependence on the dead man la of the highest importance« and must be considered. ” Lewis Martin, the divorced husband of Miss Pattersen. called upon her at the Tombs thia morning and cheered his former wife with comforting words.

Rand said he would show that threats made by the young woman as well as preparations for the killing that would establish sufficient mo tive and show that Young had no motive for killing himself; that pre parations were made to kill Young 13 hours before the crime was commit ted. he would prove by circumstan tial evidence. The prosecutor told of the life of "Caesar” Young; how he came here from England 14 years ago an ath- lete ; of his entry Into the racing world; of his success with racing stables. He said he lived the life of a racing man and drank heavily, However, he had the highest I sense of honor, and gambler though he was, never always gave fair odds and I welched a bet in his life, and was known among his fellows as an easy mark. He exercised singularly great In fluence on women and was himself easily susceptible to women. Shortly after he came to this country he mar ried a sweet woman to whom he was always most kind.

He said the couple went on a debauch In Berkeley last spring, then went to Ix>s Angeles, where Mrs. Young found them in a Turkish bath recovering from a de bauch. Miss Patterson was given »800 and sent to New York. When Young came east last spring Miss Patterson appeared and the old relations were resumed. Two at tempts were made to get the girl to leave Young. She declined, stating she had to undergo an operation. Young then decided to go to Europe. sde«-te«l to Frame Neu loiu« tor Nstiousl AwuciaUun.
