There is a difference of opinion as to how the accident occurred. The pre vailing idea is that an immense iron frtara on one of the upper floors gave way and crashed down through the building. New York, Aug. 18. The body of another victim of the West Broadway disaster, the 14th this far, was partly unearthed from the debris near the north wall of the building today.

Flremea Are Injured. Newark, N. J., Aug. 12. The fiercest fire the department of this city has had to contend with for many years broke out in the plant of the Central Stamp ing company Sunday afternoon. The front of the Central Stamping com pany's plant was on New Jersey and RAilroad avenues, and covered ten -city lots on that street. From this branched another building, five stories high and 75 feet wide and running through the block to Liberty street. From this building there was a wing of the same size, extending, through the middle of the block to Fair street. Out side of the main building on the avenue -were five 3-story buildings, and on the northwest a '2-story brick. All these were destroyed. The loss to the stamp ing company was estimated by the treasurer as upwards oV$500,000; insur ance, $250,000. The other losses will aggregate $80,000. James Parker was on the roof with buckets watching for sparks. In throw ing water on some of them he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was badly injured about the head, shoulders and arms, but will recover. Captain Frank Meercr of tho salvage corps was severely cut about the hands. Many firemen were also badly scorched and blistered by the heat. Fatal Hotel Fire. Pendletos, Or., Aug. 9. Fire last night consumed the Transfer hotel and several buildings adjoining on Main street.

It was decided to communicate by cable the necessity of immediate intervention 'in China upon behalf of the United States and British governments and the following telegram was, according to a resolution by the meeting, addressed to the Associated Press, as an expression of the sentiments of the foreigu residents of Tien Tsin as an appeal to the people of the United States for assistance, signed by Chair man Dickenson: "The foreign community of Tien Tsin expresses sympathy with the friends of the Ku Oheng victims. They consider the Chinese officials guilty and the British and Americans blame the con tinued apathy of their governments for the situation. They regard England's demand for an inquiry into the Ku Cheng massacre to be useless, for as be fore the officials will buy innocent heads as substitutes for the actual criminals. They protest that the Ezechuen com mission implicated the officials of that province. England and America must send an ultimatum threatening reprisals. Diplomacy is useless. We implore at tention." Tea Heaths From Smallpox. Eagle Pass, Tex., Aug. 12. Ten deaths from smallpox and five new cases are reported at the quarantine camp.

Six of the British Crew Drawaed" Philadelphia, Aug. 9. The thrill ing story of the sinking of two vessels in collision and the - probable loss of about 40 lives, was told by Captain Henderson, late of the British ship Prince Oscar, who, with 16 of his crew, arrived at this port on the British steamer Capac, from Chilean and Peru vian ports. Four of the crew of the Prince Oiscar went down on the ship and two others were drowned by the upsettiug of a life boat in the heavy seas. The name of the ship with which Prince Oscar was in collision is not known to Captain Henderson and her entire crew supposed to have gone to the bottom with their vessel. Captain Henderson thinks from her size that her crew numbered 80 or 40. The collision occured on the night, of July 13, in latitude 9 degrees, 30 min utes south and longitude 28.20 west, which is near the route of ships bound from London to Melbourne, Australia. - After drifting about for two days and a half without food or water, and suf fering hardships and misery.

In an instant a battle between him and the three tramps was in -progress. Eastlick was shot through the groin. Smith received a wound in the neck and one of the tramns had a bullet through his neck. Upon the arrival of the train here,' the wounded men were cared for. The tramp, who gave' his name as John Cuddy of Waterbury, Conn., is in a critical condition. - LOST ART HAS BEEN DISCOVERED. Three PitUbare: Steel Werkera Able te Weld Copper te Irea or Steel. Pittsburg, Aug. 12. George Crom ley, Cornelius Shay and John' Ryan, iron and steel workers, have discovered the lost art of welding copper to iron or steel. They show several samples of the metals perfectly welded. The last record history gives of these asetals having been welded was in Scandina-, via 600, B. C. The value of the discov ery comes in the fact that copper offers greater resistance to the action of salt water than any other metal. The Car negie company has offered the men a fixed price for "the secret. A shop has been fitted up for the men at the Home stead plant, where tomorrow the men propose to weld a plate of copper to an ingot of nickel steel armor plate: The Carnegie company hopes to be able to cover all armor -plates for the big battle ships with copper. iperar Wllllaaa la London, Aug. 12.

" QUARREL OVER A CLAIM. K. at. Fackler Fatally Shot by Baas Baek- aaUfeter Near RashvUle. , Bcshville, Neb., Aug. 8. Sam Buckminister, a ranchman living 25 miles southeast of hare, shot B. E. Fackler. It is thought he will die. The tragedy is the result of a difficulty over a piece of land. The shooting occurred in the sand hills. The reports are very meager. There are numerous valleys among the sand hills whioh are quite- valuable on account of the hay they produce, and have been a bone between ranchmen and settlers ever since-the eoantry was. opened for settlment. Now the settlers seem to have inaug urated a little war of their own among themselves, which resulted in this shoot ing. About one year ago Fackler, a young man from the west side of Sher idan county, went into the sand hills looking for a claim. Sam Buckminis ter was living on a hay chum. He had lived there six years, never having filed on it, but simply holding it by squat ter's right. This claim seemed to impress Fack ler favorably, and he filed on it, and notified Buckminister not to cut the hay on it, bnt Buckminister disregarded the notice and cut the hay and stacked it. When the hay was about all up Faokler proceeded to haul it away. This en gendered bad blood between the parties aad they have been quarreling ever since. Wednesday morning Fackler com cienced cutting the hay; Buckminister ordered him to quit, backing up his command with a 44 Winchester, but Fackler paid no attention to either the order or gun. Buckminister then took five or six shots at him, only one of which took effect, passing through the right arm and into the right side. Buckminister's side of the story is to the effect that Fackler came around with a 6-shooter and that he did' the shooting in self defense. No. arrests have been made yet. The ball went dear through the lungs and was cut out just below the left shoulder blade". The hemorrhage was not very profuse and Fackler being a young man and healthy there is a chance for his recovery. COURTS MAY SETTLE IT. Prospect of a Peaeef al Solatia ef Osaahas Police Frebleae. Omaha, Aug. 11. There now appears to be a fair prospect that the fire and police board muddle will be amicably settled in the courts, as suggested by Governor Holcoinb at the inception of the trouble. The injunction case de cided Saturday settled none of the issues involved and in passing upon the petition for an injunction the judge intimated that the proper procedure would be for the claimants under the Churchill-Russell appointment to bring quo warranto proceedings against the -old board. While no agreement to this effect has yet been arrived at, one probably will be within the next 24 hours. OMAHA OFFICIAL IN TROUBLE. Charges Filed. Against Fraak E. M Clerk ef the District Ceart. Omaha, Aug. 12. Frank E. Moores has been clerk.of the district court for nearly eight years and is a candidate for nomination this fall. Charges against Moores' official integrity have been filed with the board of county commissioners. The specifications are signed by J. H. Winspear, member of the board of .pab-i lie works; Fred J. Sackett, county clerk, and E. P. Davis,, ex-president of the city council. They allege Moores to be guilty of misfeasance and maladminis tration as clerk, in that be unlawfully and corruptly extorted moneys from litigants and charged excessive fees and for services not actually performed. The county commissioners are requested to declare vacant the office of clerk of the district court. The charges were referred to the judiciary committee. There are 28 specifications, some" of which were read in open session It is reported that a thorough investigation will be ordered by the oommittee. Mr. Moores stoutly denies there is anything irregular in his official conduct, which, he ays, an investigation will prove. He says the action was inspired by his political enemies.

CM1TKD STATSB KXroaTB TO VRAXCE. a("PjS"Ss" It will ba noticed that in neither year did oar exports to the French republic reach the $100,000,000 stated by The Herald, and oar average exports for the two years were below $50,000,000. less than one-half of the amount given by The Herald's student in economics. Looting a littlefarther, we found that oar imparts of French proddcts and manufactures in the two years were as follows: CST STATminroBrarKoicraAacx. lSs.8tl.aH eeaeeeeeeaeeeaeaeeeeeeeeee &e.Ss5.H Comparing oar exports with our im ports it appears that in 1801 we boaght from France over $8,000,000 worth of goods more than France boaght from us, aad that in 1894 the balanoe of trade against as was over $6,000,000. During the two years Francs sold as an average of $7,300,000 worth mora of her goods than she bought of our products. Not satisfied with this, and not satis fied with the fact that the late free trade congress had passed a tariff bill which is of still greater benefit to the French prodacers and manufacturers, the New York Herald has' been clamoring for congress to enact still further legisla tion that would be especially advanta geous to the French farmers. Those who are readers of The Herald have noted, moreover, that that paper never recommends that congress shall legislate. for the benefit of American producers or American manufacturers. This no doubt is in accordance with the Instructions issued by the Parisian pro prietor of the paper, Mr. James Gordon Bennett We would suggest, however that Mr. Bennett's French - favoritism would be better served by employing as editorial writers upon his staff gentle men who will not deliberately lie about the official statistios published by the treasury department, distorting them so as to praotice intentional deceit upon the readers of his paper.
