PALL IN MASS.
Walk at Baseball Park Gives Way, Kill
Ing lkur People.
Philadelphia, Aug. 11. Four per
sona are dead, at least 12 nro thought
to be fatally Inlured. and fully 160
others aro hurt, some seriously, as the
result of an accldont which occurred
today nt tho Philadelphia National
leiiRUO basoball park. A board walk,
which overhung tho field bleachers,
fell to the stteot, carrying 200 epoca
tors. Two games were i-chcdulod bewecn
Boston and Philadelphia this afternoon
and tho attraction drew over 10,000 per
sons to the ball park. The accident
on urred at 5:40 o'clock and was Indi
rectly duo to a quarrel between two
drunken men in the street. The Na
tional leaguo stands aro built ol steel
and brick, the brick wall extending en
tirely around the grounds. At tho top
of tho left field seals, and extending
from tho grandstand to the bleachers,
there was a walk about threo feet wide,
which overhung tho street. It was
this walk that gave way under the
heavy weight. Men who were stand
ing on tho walk were attracted by a
disturbance In the street. They leaned
over the side of tho railing to see what
was Ihe trouble, and drew the atten
tion of the other spectators seated on
the top rows of the bleachers. Then
occurred what Is seen almost every day
at a ball game a rush to too what the
other spectators were looking at.
The walk became overcrowded, and
without a moment's warning 200 feet
of it fell to tho sidewalk, SO feet bo
low, carrying all who were on It.
There were probably 3,000 persons sit
ting on the left field bleachers and tho
roar made by the falling timbers cre
ated a panic. Instantly the spectators
rose en masse and made a rush down
the stand and Into the playing field.
Men and boys climbed over one another
in their effort to escape from the
grounds.'" Notwithstanding what had
occurred, the ball players and others
tried to stop the mad rush, but they
were swept aside In their unsuccessful
efforts, and several persons were badly
hurt in the crnsh.
OCEAN TAK1NQ ISLANDS.
Tuamotu droup Is Deatlned to Be Re
claimed by Waters.
Papete, Tahiti, July 26, via Sin
Francisco, Aug. 11. It would seem
that the islands known variously as the
ixw Archipelago, or Tuamotu group
are destined to be reclaimed by the Pa
cific ocean. Last January they were
swept by a flood composed of high
waves Irom toe ocean and lesser ones
from the Inclosed lagoons, and in con-
sequence nearly 600 ol the inhabitants
were drowned and property to tho vai-
ue of $500,000 was destroyed. And
now, six months later, fierce gales
from the southwest and southeast have
again caused great surging crests to
sweep ovsr some of the iilands. So
far only four persons are said to have
perished, bnt the fear is great that
when all the islands are heard from
there may be a distressing list of fatal-
itler.
The steamer Excelsior suffered much
damage dnring the series of galea while
she was on her trip from Tahiti to the
Marquesas group. Three of the Tuam
otu islands were nndcr water to such
an extent that the inhabitants had to
climb cocoanut treeB for safety.
Houses and stores, copra "d final'v
the cocoanut trees were destroyed,
while the inhabitants had a close call
to death.

King In Pear for His Life.
Cologne, Aug. 11. King Peter of
Servia is being openly terrorized by
bis eutorage, according to the Belgrade
advices of the Cologne Gazette. Most
of the present court officials who par
ticipated in the murder of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga appear to have
objected strongly to the appointment
of Colonel Lelscbjanin, the Servian at
tache at Constantinople, to the post of
court martial. The official gazette yes
terday contained the appointment, but
shortly after its publication all copies
of the gazette were called in.
Trust to Buy Big Stores.
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 11. The Cash
Buyprs' Union First National Co-Oper
ative society, with an authorized capl
tal of $5,000,000, haB been incorpor
ated hero to conduct department
stores. One of the pecularities of tho
charter Is the provision that tho com
pany may enter into contracts with off!
cers and stockholders and with any
other company in which it may have
an interest. The opinion prevails here
that tho company has for Its object the
acquiring ol large department stores
throughout the country.

CIRCUS IN WRECK
TWENTY.TIIREC P0OPLG KILLED AND
MANY INJURED.
Two Sections ol Train Crash Together
Together With Awful Rcsutta-Road
lllamea linglnccr and lie Si) the
Air Urate palled to Work Ills
Words Branded as Pahtc.
Dmand, Mich., Aug. 10. An air
brake refusing to work on tho second
section ol Wallace Bros.' circus train
caused a rear-end collision with tho
first section in tha yards of the Grand
Trunk railroad at an early hour this
morning, in which 23 people were
killed outright ami more than a dozen
injured. The coroner's Jury today
viewed the remains and adjourned un
til August 14, when the inquest will
be held.
In discussing the question of respon
sibility for the horror, the railroad
officials unhesitatingly lay it to Kngl
ncer Probst, of the second section of
the train. Probst saya tho air brako
on his tram refused to work, but the
officials declare he could have stepped
the train In time to have avoided seri
ous consequences. The official report
on the accident declares positively that
tho air brakes have been tested since
the accident and found to be in perfect
condition and there is evidence that
they weie not applied.
One of , the officials in discussing the
accident'and its cauns said that ho be
lieved that Engineer Probst bad ex
hausted his air in checking his train
several times between Lansing and
Durand and failed to charge his tank.
The head braksmnn and fireman, who
were on the engine, bear out Engineer
Probst's statement that the brakes re
fused to work.
The cars standing stationary of the
first section were telescoped and the
engine and five cars of the moving train
were demolished. The rear car of the
first section was a caboose In which tho
trainmen were sleeping and the next
two wore filled with sleeping circus
men. The greatest loss of lile was in
tho caboose.

Opposed to Ills Policy.

Koine is now centered upon tho solemn
coronation curumony, which Is to occur r

by Cardinal liampolla, who, ns arch
priest of tho church, will address tho
foinml greeting to him.
At the conclusion oil tho ceremony
tho popo will router his blessing upon

elded whother ho will do so Insldo tho
church or from trie balcony looking out
upon thu piazza, where nianv hoped he
would bestow his benediction on the
day of his election.
It Is said that Pius Is favorablo to
the latter plan, but the inlluenco ol the
vatlcau officials Is against it, on the
ground that It might be interpreted as
a recognition of tho present statu of
affairs In Italy.
The holding of the coronation cere
monies In St. Peter itself represents a
concession, as in the cam of Uo it oc
curred in thuSlstinechapol. Although
It is expected that 110,000 tickets will
bo issued for the event, the demand for
them is already very great.
