AND KILLS ANOTHER MAN ON
THE SIDEWALK.
Slipping of Ropes on the Scaffold
Causes the Accident—Two
Others Narrowly
Escaped.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 30.—James
Beckmeister fell five stories from
the top of the World building to
the sidewalk today and was in-
stantly killed. The body of the
falling man struck John Nickson,
who was walking along the side-
walk, with terrific force, breaking
the back and both legs of the lat-
ter and he is dying. Beckmeister
was engaged with a number of
other men in placing a large sign
on the building. The accident was
caused by the slipping of ropes
supporting the scaffold. Two
other men, named Lewis and Gor-
mier, who were on the scaffold
with Beckmeister, had a desperate
struggle for their lives. Lew is was
thrown from the scaffold and
caught with his hands to the nar-
row coping under the windows.
He managed to work along until
be reached a fire escape and was
then easily rescued. Gormier
clung to the ropes for some time
and was finally rescued by a man
in the building.
Campos' Steamer Blown Up.
Havana, Aug. 30.—There is a
rumor here that the Spanish
steamer Villavoide, chartered by
Geoeral Campos as his private
yacht, has been blown up at sea.
She went from here to New York,
ostensibly to l>e cleaned and paint-
ed. She left New York on the
21st instant to return to Havana.
It is said that she had on board a
ton of dynamite, bought by Gen-
eral Campos, to lie used in the
campaign against the insurgents.
This dynamite exploded with ter
rific force, the story goes, tearing
the vessel to fragments.

The Submerged Hiners Hay Not
lie Found For Three Weeks.
Central City, Col., Aug. 30.—
Twenty-nine men were working in
the Sleepy Hollow and Amerieus
mines when last night's disaster
occurred. All who escaped were
engaged at the points above the
line break. All below at the time
weie almost instantly submerged
and there bodies must lie there
for weeks. The calamity was
one which was not unexpected.
For three yeaisthe dispute be-
tween owners of mines in a group
has been over a ijuesllon of drain-
age, and several owners closed

them to stand partially filled with
water.

pose of securing united action in a

Ransom's New Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 30 Minis-
ter Ransom's troubles have not
ceased. First his salary was with-
held for months, then his appoint-
ment as minister was illegal and
the office was vacated. It was

complications, but the deputy
auditor of the treasury has decided
that Minister Ransom can not
draw his salary until he is con-
firmed by the senate.

Fate of Four Children.
Sullivan, Mo., Aug. 30.—Three
children of a negro named Jen-
kins, while at play yesterday went
to a place near the barn to gather
eggs. The place was rather out
of the way and dangerous in that
region. One child thrust its hand
into what it supposed was a hen's
nest and quickly withdrew it, ex-
claiming that the heu had pecked
its hand. The other two children
put in their hands with the same
result, and then set up a loud cry.
The mother was at the well with
the baby, and at the alarm 6he
eft the baby and ran to the assist
anee of the three children, who, it
seems, had been bitten by a ra'tie-
snake. During the excitement the
baby fell into the well and was
drowned, aud the three other chil-
dren also died.

Current lumual history is soinetimei
very auiusin^. An observant country
hoy can p;ve you more reliable informa-
tion in half an hour than many of the
v. ntcrs who are accepted as authority.
Two examples of tlie fallacies of the
latter have been the rounds. One
was an article on the cricket, which
was described as a very dainty insect
with a delicate appetite. There is in
reality but one that is more voracious,
and that is the cockroach. The cricket
has a robust taste for almost anything,
especially farinaceous matter, and it is
very destructive to clothing. A house-
keeper had her lace curtains eaten up,
and the writer remembers once visiting
in a house where the walls hud been
ceiled and papered. The paper hung
loose here and there, due to the crickets
that gnawed through to get at the paste
that had been used by the paper hangers.
Another story was of the marvelous
self control of a man who discovered
that a black snake had concealed itself
in the pocket of his coat, which he had
thrown aside in the field and donned
again, very stupidly, without discover-
ing the reptile. This of iiself was sur-
prising, as it is generally from four to
five foot in teiijjtli and and weiglw sev-
eral pounds. The black snake of ths
northern middle states is as harmless as
the toad, and, moreover, is extremely
cowardly. Its greatest fault is its de-
structiveness of young birds—the broods
of those species which nest in low shrubs
or upon the ground. But a man might
carry one in each pocket and come to
no harm, if his pockets were large
enough and if he did not have the in-
herent animosity of mankind toward
reptiles.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
