Those more scrlounly wounded were car
ried to neighboring diug storca whence they
wore taken to the hospital or to their homes
afte- their injuries had been attended to.
The dend were taken to the committee
oems of Alderman I'arncll , the defeated
candidate for major , directly across the
street.
At the close of the polls n crowd gathered
n the cltv hill , where It l-as been the cus-
om fcr yrars past for the successful caudl-
latcs to addresj the electors. The building
vas rrov/dcd to the \eiy doors , probably
,000 people being Jammed in a narrow space
Therp was a. lull In the pi-cceedings , whun
he audlcnco called fcr several newly elected
ildermen at once and there was some dela >
n scurlng a speaker to addicss them. Alder-
nan Can others joined the mayor In an et
c/it to secure iiulot.
In response to numerous cells R. M Teethe
vas ptmbed forward to the platfoim on
vhlch the socaKers stood. As ho readied It
here was an ominous cracking and the
aised platform on vv'ilch the mayor and
only elected aldermen were seated seemed
o pitch forward to the Hoor.
HURLED TO THE TLOOR.
There was a sagging of timbers and the
icxt moment 150 people were hurled twenty
eet to the floor below. A beam running
vvcnty feet along t'.ie center of the hall had
Iven awny and the crowded mass standing
.bovo that section of the floor was throwu
n a heap to the bottom.
A las go sife stcod In ono corner of the
nil and. with a huge steam cell weighing
alf n ton came crashing down on the vlc-
Ims
Then followed ft wild rush for the doors
.t the south door , where the majority of
10 crowd had entered , there was a
wnlc. T.IIOBP In front were thrown down by
10 oncoming rush , shrieking nnd fighting for
ho door and safety. Only one-half of the
ca.- door , a npaco of probably three feet , was
pen , and In t'.io mad rush no ono thought
o open the door la Its entirety and COO peciilo
struggled through the narrow sjxace , the
st'-cng boirin- , ' down the weiker
Within a moment after the floor had fallen
In there were not less than three persons In
the lull on that poitlon of the floor who had
not fallen.
Alderman Nlel Coopur was among the fliat
to bo dragged out ot the mini of broken
beams. Ho was quickly cairlel to an ad
joining room , and In a moment half a dozei ,
were keeping him company.
Several mm lowered ropes and endeavored
to haul the wcunded fiom the pit. Under the
massive weight of the broken beams came
many ciles for help. The windows In the
ground floor were broken In and thn living
and the dead were passed to the waiting ambulance -
bulanco
An Investigation discloses the fact that a
vvholo section of the floor hid droppo I , tin ?
jols'u having bcon ns neatly cut off as though
the work had been done with n saw. The
building was an old ono , having been
erected In the early ' 60s , nnd of late yeaia
additional .stories bad bcon placed on the
old walls.
BEGIN AN INVESTIO\TION.
The coroner's Inquest began this after
noon , but the proceedings were purely
formal , One of the bodies was viewed by
thu jury as a legal prerequisite to Inquiry
pud the adjournment waa made. The whole
point of the inquest will turn on the liability
of the city to the iclativrs nnd friends of
the deceased , A number of local architects
will tcfitlfy that the building was un afo
and should have boon condemned This will
be the basis of claims made against the
city.
Mayor-elect Wilson Is much more seri

WASHINGTON , Jan. 4. Assistant Sccre-

Kilograms receive Indirect bounties of C 125

It Is piolmblo , therefore , that fho counter

under the provisions of section 5 of the act
of July 24 , JS97 , must bo equal to 9.C25 francs ,
11 francs and 12.375 franca per 100 kilo

M. Messenger , citizens ot the United States ,
against the government of Mexico , Is against
the claimants. The only expense to which
Mexico will be put will bo to pay half of the
coat of the proceedings , while the United
States will not only hav'o to defray Its share
of the expense , but has lost what administra
tion ofllclals Imvo considered the best claims
on flto In the Department of State.
The award of the arbiter , which Is final ,
has Just been filed In the Department of
State and the Department of Foreign Af
faire of Mexico. The claims of Oberlander
and Mrs. Messenger grew out of the alleged
brutal treatment of the man and the Inhuman
treatment of the woman some years 0150
Oberlander was a deputy sheriff of the county
of San Diego , Cal. Ho went Into Mexican
territory to examine Into a suit In progiiBS
just across the line , and became Involved In
a dispute. He was knocked down and
seaiched by Mexican police , who found In
his pocket a warrant for the arrest of a
Mexican , who had committed an offense In
California. Oberlander was at once taken to
jail , but managed to escape and get to the
hoiwo of Mr. Messenger , just across the
boundary line In California. Mrs Mccscn-
Ker was very much frightened when the
Mexican oniclils entered her house and seized
her guest. Despite her protestations , Ober-
lauder was dragged out of the house and
down the nnd , the woman following the
party nnd screaming for help. The matter
\\KO finally brought to the attention ot the
American minister In Mexico , who secured
the release of Oberlander. Oberlander was
Injured as n result of his experience nnd
Mrs Messenger suffered greatly In consequence
quence of the Incident. Oberlander filed n
claim for $50,000 , and Mrs. Metscngcr one
for $23.000 , which they declared waa due
them for the vvronga done them by Mexican
oniolals.
The matter WPS vigorously pressed by the
Ipto Secretary Grcaham , and Mr. Olney con-
llncd the negotiations when ho succeeded
Mr. Grcsham. Mr. Olney consented to refer
ence to arbltrallon , nnd on March 2 lasl
signed n prolocol referring the claims to
Senor Don Vicente 0. Quesada , minister of
Aigentlna al Madrid , for settlement. Senor
Qucsada was proponed by Minister Romero
of Mexico , and his appointment was opposed
by some of the olilolals who desired a Euro
pean Kimed as1 arbiter. The Mexican gov
ernment submitted to Senor Qucsada copies
of correspondence nnd documents , its own
view ot Iho caee. Senor Quesada has been
considering the papers since last Jure.
Admlnlstrallou oflltlals arc inclined to
critic co the award on the ground tint It Is
not in accoidance with the facts presented
Minister Romero regards the award as emi
nently judiclouj.

Ni-lilom Women iltritlle * Their Trim
Condition ,
In A largo silk mill where the looms were
thrumming , and nil waa nolso and bustle a
woman , skilled in manufacturing' and dyeIng -
Ing delicate silks WAS tolling. She looked
tiled and dejected.
Her chocks were * u < nkon and there were
dark lines beneath her ejes , You could
easily detect the peculiar callow look which
comes upon the .faces of alt women at cer
tain ocrlods. Occasionally her face * , which
was usually bright and attractive , would beclouded
clouded lv pain just as ( ho sunlight Is some
times shut off by passing clouds. It waa
easy to see she was not happy.
And jet she worked , struggling along when
she should have been nt home , and possibly
In bed. Poor llttlo woman ) How limvo she
was In her suffering , nnd lipvv faithful. Alld
yet , during all that time , she was uncon
sciously bringing disaster to licr cmplojcr.
Every moment ot that day , while she was so
bravely struggling , the exhalations from her
body were ruining the dollcato colors ot the
silk upon which she was working.
Alas , shn did nol know It ! Hut when the
choice silks came i.con the market and It
was found that the colorings vvcro ruined ,
en investigation was made and tha iioor 111 *
tlo woman was discharged.
Tor what ?
Simply because the sickness , which cornm
to every woman at certain times , had , un
known , Imperceptibly , colored the gossamer
silks over which she was tolling.
This Is a sad storj- , but It Is absolutely
true. It haiiionod In Newark , N. J. , nnd
furnishes a very valuable Icsaon. It shows
Ihat vv onion , however , careful they niaj be ,
are often , unknown to themselves , exerting
an Influence , not only upon the persons , but
also upon the things about them w'.ilch Is by
no means agreeable. It Is unfortunate that
such should be the case , but It Is none the
less true.
And yet , fortunitcly , H la n fact , proven
bejoml ihe shadow of a doubt , that women ot
the present day can. by availing themselves
ot llio latest and , best discoveries of science ,
almost wholly overcome the ill-effects of the
periodic Uckncss. It Is true llicre has never
been bill one discovery for accomplishing tills
desirable end , but that ono has proven to
bo so pure , so scientific , and so efficient , that
it Is being used almost universally. Hero is
what Mra Randolph Hovvcll ot Washington ,
sajs upon this most Important subject :
"I have often In the past found It Jm-
pcsslble to attend receptions and other social
functions , owing to a temporary oUte of 111-
QMS , but of late jears I C-avo been enabled
to entirely banish oil painful effects to mj-
sclf and possible unpleasantness to others
bj the use of a discovery which I believe ,
to bo a boon to womankind Warner's Safe
Cure. I have been so wonderfully helped by
Iho palnles.5 powers of this remedj- which
has seemed like a friend In need that I have
urged its use upon nearly all m > lady ac-
nuijntances. "
Women should not suffer , need not suffer ,
need not bo uuplcaslng to those about them ,
if they will only uao proper care and tha
best Inventions of science for their help.
There Is every reason why thcj- should bo

why Ihey j-toould , bo even lemporarlly indis
