Nine Hives Are Snuffed Out and Nine
Other People Are Injured ,
BRIDGE FALLS UPON THE THRONG
Structure Connecting u Sideshow With
the Exposition Collapses Con
demned us Unsafe Shortly Ucfore
Worse Disaster Avertcil by Keeping
1'eoplo Off the lirldgc.
PARIS , April 30. An a-cident Avith-
in the exposition grounds this after
noon caused the death of nine persons
and injured nine others. A temporary
bridge broke , falling upon the crowds
underneath.
The dead are six men , two Avomen
and one child.
One Avoman and a child are uniden
tified.
The accident threw a pall over the
happiness of an immense throng AVhich
had profited by the magnificent
Aveather to visit the exposition. To
day's Avas probably the record attend
ance. Not merely the interior of the
grounds but the precincts also Avere
croAVded and the concourse Avas partic
ularly great along the Avenue de Suf-
ren , Avhich forms the northern boun
dary of the grounds.
Here is situated a big sideshoAV the
Celestial Globe. A footbridge , on
which the finishing touches Avere being
put today , crosses the Avenue de Suf-
ren , connecting the sideshow with the
exhibition. It was constructed of
Avood , Avith a stucco facade and Avith a
plaster-made tower at each end.
Strangely enough , the bridge had
been condemned only this morning as
unsafe by the exposition authorities.
The public Avas therefore not alloAved to
go upon the structure and in this Avay
a disaster even more terrible than that
which occurred was averted.
The gay crowd Avas passing along
the avenues and some hundred or more
persons Avere Avalking beneath the
bridge when suddenly an ominous
crash Avas heard. Before those under
neath could turn aside the structure
fell Avith a fearful crash , burying near
ly fifty.
A shout of horror rose from the spec
tators , mingled Avith the cries of $ he
victims. For a moment nothing couici
be distinguished but a cloud of dust
and plaster. A scone of the greatest
excitement and confusion folloAved.
But this Avas only for a feAv seconds.
Almost imediately. the cro\vd attacked
the debris in an effort to release those
lying beneath.
The Avorkmen Avithin the grounds
who had Avitnessed the accident , the po
lice and the republican guards , togeth
er with quite a number of soldiers ,
joined in the rescue Avork. The prome-
naders forgot their Sunday attire and
coA-ered themselves Avith dirt and
grime in tearing aAvay the rubbish
Avith their hands. Wooden beams and
poles Avere brought from the half fin
ished buildings near by and Avere used
as leA-ers to raise the fallen mass.
The victims first recovered were \
mostly only the injured , the dead being
found later beneath the center of the
structure. Messengers were dispatched
to bring firemen and sappers Avith
their equipments and the first body was !
found after a quarter of an hour's frantic - I
tic labor. It Avas that of a little girl '
about 7 years of age , Avhose head Avas
horribly crushed. Victim after victim
was brought to light until a roAV of six
mutilated corpses had been placed
upon the sidewalk and nearly forty
other persons , some badly and others
less seriously injured , had been car
ried in ambulances or driven to the
hospitals.
A family , composed of father , mother
and tAvo girls , narroAvly escaped de
struction. The parents , who happened
o be a little ahead , had gone under the
Bridge , the children folloAving. just at
the moment of the
collaspe. The par
ents Avere killed , but the children
sprang back and escaped Avith a feAv
scratches. A '
cyclist's Avheeel Avas
smashed , but he himself escaped un
hurt.
To Tie Up New York Central.
BUFFALO , N. Y. , April 30. The
striking employes of the NCAV York
Central have given the company until
1 o'clock today to grant their demands.
If the concessions are not made by that
time it is the intention of the strike
leaders to extend the strike and they
predict that it AVm be the largest in
the history of railroads of the east.
They assert that all they have to do is
to remoA-e the restraint under which
they have been
holding railroad men
and that the strike Avill then run
through the entire New York Central
system in the state and cripple nearly
every road entering Buffalo.

CHICAGO , April 30. Miss Minnie
M. Wry of Lincoln , Neb. , Avas found
dead in her room on the sixth floor of
the Palmer house today , with her brain
pierced and a bullet nred by her oAvn
hand. Msis Wry , who was 22 years
old , evidently stood before a mirror
and by its reflection aimed the shot j '
Avhich ended her life. '
PHYSICIAN CORRECT
Diagnosis of Governor Tanner's Case
Confirmed.
CHICAGO , April 30. The skiograph
on Governor Tanner's anatomy , taken
Saturday , Avas developed today and

AA-as shown to be accurate , for the pres
ence of gall stones in the biliary ducts
is revealed clearly in the picture. The
governor Avill return to Springfield to-
morroAV , where an operation Avill be
performed by Dr. Senn.
DEWEY'S TRIP NONPOLITICAL
His Western Journey , Ho Says , Will JJe
Jin do UK Admiral.
WASHINGTON , April 30. Admiral
Dewey was seen today at his home just
before leaving the city for Chicago
and was asked if he had any statement
to make about the presidency.
"No , " said he. "I think it would be
in bad taste for me to say anything of
a political nature just at this time. As
the admiral of the navy I accepted the
invitations to visit Chicago , Jackson
ville , St. Louis , Memphis , Nashville
and Knoxville , which cities had asked
me to be their guest ; and I do not
wish anything political to enter into
the trip. "
Accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and his
private secretary , Lieutenant Caldwell ,
the admiral left here today at noon in
a special train over the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad for Ciucago , to partici
pate in the celebration of the second
anniversary of the battle of Manila.
The train was one of the finest which
has ever left the capital city and is
scheduled to reach Chicago at 11
o'clock tomorrow morning. It consist
ed of three handsome cars , .fitted with
every luxury to insure the greatest
possible comfort for the travelers.
Upon the central windows on either
side of the three cars was painted the
admiral's Hag and the hotel car was
profusely decorated with flowers and
potted plants.
Just before the train pulled out of
the station , Mrs. Dewey was presented
with a handsome bouquet of American
Beauty roses. Probably 1.000 people
were on hand and a cheer went up as
the train pulled out. J. H. Maddy of
the Baltimore < : Ohio railroad accom
panied the party in order to give his
personal supervision to the trip.
DEWEY WILL SAIL
Author of the Wilson Hill Talks of His
Candidacy.
KANSAS CITY , April 30. William
L. Wilson , author of the Wilson tariff
bill , while in this city on the way from
Hot Springs , Ark. , to Nebraska City ,
Neb. , where he is to be the guest of
J. Sterling Morton , his associate in
Cleveland's cabinet , said :
"It is to be McKinley and Bryan.
Mr. Cleveland will not allow his name
to be mentioned and Dewey will not
get an opportunity to see himself voted
down. Bryand will be nominated , but
conditions are so changed that the
campaign will be on new lines. Both
sides have so many new conditions
to confront that the old tactics AVHI
not do. I think the democrats will
win. We will go into the * fight solid. "
Wilson gave an expression to his
views regarding the candidacy of Ad
miral Dewey.
"He is innocent of the game of pol
itics , " he said , "and has .undered in
his bluntness , as blunt people often do.
He will blunder out of it again as sud
denly as he came in. Dewey does
things suddenly. He generally antici
pates and when the row is at its
height he will surprise everybody by
sailing away , or I am mistaken in the
man. "
TAYLOR TO FACE ACCUSERS
Kentucky's Governor Kcturns to Frank
fort to Silence Kumors.
LEXINGTON , Ky. , April 30. Gov
ernor W. S. Taylor passed through this
city this morning from Washington ,
bound for Frankfort. He AVQS met by
a large number of leading citizens at
the depot. He stated that he returned
to silence the rumors that he Avas en
deavoring to escape indictment. His
friends insist that these rumors Avere
started by some one who took adA'an-
tage of his absence. After attending to
the matter of ascertaining Avhether
there is any indictment against him ,
he will return to Washington. His
Avife accompanied him. He is looking
well and appreciated the fact that his
friends met him. A number of Lex-
ingtonians Avill go to Frankfort on
Monday to aid him in any AA'ay within
their poAver.
WILL HOLD THABA N'CHU
British Will Stick There Owing to Its
Advantages.
OLOEMFONTEIN , April 30. It is
understood that the British will con
tinue to hold Thaba N Chu OAving to its
strategic importance and especially
with a A'ieAV of checiang future raids.
The commandoes that had recently
been operating in the direction of
Thaba N'Chu are melting away , the
Boers quietly returning to their farms
and many of them taking the oath of
allegiance. Experience has shoAA'n ,
hoAvever , in many cases that this is
only a pretense to enable the Boers to
create disturbances in the rear of the
British.

INSTRUCTIONS NOT MADE PUBLIC
Kfforts of Turkey to I'ay This Claim
Uuiler. Cover of ail Order for a War
Ship to Ho liniltiu the United Statfb
IS'o Ijuiv for Doing This.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 28
Beyond the statement that Mr. Gris-
com , United States charge d'affaires at
Constantinople , has been instructed to
press vigorously for the payment of the
American claims for indemnity , the
officials here decline to divulge the
nature of his instructions. They say
that Mr. Griscom does not need express
instructions to forward the claims , for
he had of his own volition taken a
rather advanced attitude in this matter
and the presentations he is now mak
ing , though this time by express in-
sruction , are in no respect more
peremptory than his own preceding de
liveries to the Turkish government.
Novel though the proposition was
from a diplomatic standpoint , yet it is
learned to be true that the effort Avas
made by the porte to pay this American
claim under cover of an order for a
Avar ship to be built in the United
States for Turkey.
The reasons for the failure ot the
project Avere several. The United
States government has no Avar ships
for sale , and is not authorized to build
any for foreign order. Then there is
no Avarrant of laAV for entering into an
arrangement with n. private ship build
ing concern for the collection of an
international obligation in the manner
purposed. Lastly , judging by the ex
perience of concerns that have had
dealings Avith the Turkish government ,
any shipbuilder accepting the order
from Turkey Avould require a guaranty
from the United States government ,
and the net result of the transaction
might be the assumption by the United
States of an obligation as much larger
than the original claims as the price
of a battleship exceeds the $90,000.

"Our mounted infantry entered the
high mountain plateau of Thata
N'Chu today almost without opposi

"One difficulty Is that many of the
