How It Occurred.

Prepnrations had been made at the shipyard for a great celebration in honor o£ the laying of the keel of the Centurion, the hundredth vessel lobe built by Wheeler & Co. About 5,000 persons hud assembled to witness the ceremonies. The keel was duly laid, speeches were made and Mr. Wheeler was presented with a solid silver talile set by his employes, liy this time the schooner Mary E. MeLachliu was ready for launching. It stood on the ways alongside a slip about 100 feet wide, on the opposite side of which was the steamship Kittie M. Forbes. Jinny men and boys had climbed up on the Forbes to secure a point of vantage. They crowded the hurricane deck, and had even climbed up into the rigging of the vessel.

As the hull of the McLachlin struck the water a score of men and boys were thrown into the water from the deck of the Forbes. The side launch commonly used here had sent up a wave which lifted tlie Forbes 10 feet into the air. As the Forbes careened back to its place the occupants of the hurricane deck were thrown against the slight railing surrounding it. This gave way and the victims were thrown into the water and to what seemed almost certain death. tjrounri hi tho Icfi,

There was a space of not to exeeod 15 inches between the vessels where the water was seething and foaming and in which huge cakes of ice were grinding each other. It seemed as if every one of those who were thrown from the boat must be crushed to death or drowned beneath the ion, but many of the spectators rushed to the rescue, l'lanks wore thrown on the floating ice and the bruised and bleeding men were helped to places of safety. It was impossible to tell how many were thrown into the water, but the lowest estimate places the number at fifteen. Many eye witnesses are certain that there were at least twenty or twenty-five. Ot these nine wore rescued. Tho number of missing reported to the police would indicate that there were not more than five drowned and it, is possible that some of these will yet turn up safe. As soon as possible a diver was put to work searching for bodies, but at dark he had found none. As the flow of the water would have taken them out of the ship, however, it is more than likely that none of the bodies will be recovered. The scene in the yard at the time of the accident is almost indescribable. Dozens of women fainted, while women and children were tramped on in the mad rush of the crowd which pressed towards tho water to get a better view of the accident.

Warned of Their Danger.

Previous to the launch many employes of the yard predicted an accident unless the Forbes was removed. The fact that people were allowed to remain on board is denounced by many as a piece of almost criminal carelessness. Some of the workmen warned the men that they were in danger, but as no effort was made by anyone in authority to compel them to leave their dangerous position the occupants of the vessel paid little heed to the warning.

I.VDlA.VAi'Oi.ls, Ind., March 3.—An old brick building, fronting on Washington street, in the heart of the business porLion of Indianapolis, collapsed Thursday afternoon. Three floors crashed down between the walla and carried everything with to the cellar. A half men at work remodeling structure went down with the debris. Twenty feet of ruins were dug away before the first man, William lirockineyer, was reached. He was taken out alive, with bol.li legs broken in two places, and suffering from internal injuries. lie was removed to the hospital, where he died during the night. Louis Ahlers was badly crushed. Henry Denning and Edward Mcinn is were both injured, neither of them seriously, however. The building has long been a menace and had been vacated some time. The sidewalk was lined with shoppers at the time it fell, while carriages stood at the curb. The front wall cracked and partly fell iu, permitting a score of lives to go unhurt. Tho men were tearing the building down preparatory to erecting anew block.

TWO WO.MliX FATALI.Y IN.irKKO. Four Others Hurt til tlie Hunting of a College In ArkunsuA.

LITII,F. ROCK, Ark., March 3.—The Arkansas Uaptist college buildings, established hero six years ago by the colored liaptists for the education ot

prlrls, was burned about 2 o'clock a. m. About twenty of the students slept in the building and how any escaped from the burning wooden tinderbox is inexplicable. All were compelled to jump, and of the twenty six were badly injured, two, Florida Neely and Hal tie Turner, so seriously that they will die, the former having her back broken and the latter sustaining internal injuries Ada Harris, a teacher from Oberon, O., leg broken Mary Pratt Little Rock, internally, will recover Irene Reed, Dermott, Ark., leg broken: Marv Nelson, cook, slightly injured. Nothing was saved, not even clothing. Loss, 88.000 insurance, 94,000. 'J he office of the Arkansas Vanguard was also destroyed. The fire is believed to have been incendiary, two previous attempts to burn the college having been made.

Apiece uf the pulley struck the llywheel of the engine. Tho flywheel was in feet in diameter, had a ra of iron 3 inches thick and was making seventy-two revolutions a minute. It was smashed and tho iron rim, which was made in sections, scattered in all directions, shattering the building. A. II. Mead, of Corinth, Vt., the assistant engineer, was struck on the head by a piece of iron and died in a few minutes. George Langley, an oiler, hud his jaw broken. Pieces of the wheel were hurled through tho roof aiid fell 100 yards distant in the fields. Tho brick walls were torn out in places as though made of paper.

NO CROOKED WORK.

The l'miama Canal Inquiry Committee C*uld Not Trace the Corrupt IJ.e of Money to lulluenee Legislative or Kx* eeutlve Action.

WASHINGTON*, March 8.—The house Panama investigating committee in its report finds thut as far as the treaty of 1840 with New Granada is concerned, and FO far as the concessions granted to and contracts made with the present Panama railroad corporation are concerned, there is no clear ground for the assertion that any exclusive right to cross the isthmus was ever iu terms granted, or by implication secured, cither to an American corporation or to a citizen of the United States to the exclusion of citizcns of any other country.

The committee has done its utmost in the limited time before it to investigate the, charge that money was expended to prevent opposition to the plans of the canal. It has been unable thus far to trace directly or indirectly tl.e expenditure of any money whatever in a corrupt way to influence tho legislative or executive action of the United States government

The committee in concluding cannot refrain from calling attention to what seems to be an obvious deduction from the facts shown that it is the interest of the United States that the American people shouhbabsolutely control some outlet across the isthmus at some point which shall be used for the benefit of American trade in general ag an open and continuous competitor, affording no opportunity for entangling subsidies from great competing lines or chance of falling into the grasp of any monopoly through stock manipulation.

HIS FUTURE.

President Harrison Will Ketuuie III. I.u\r Tract ice and Also Lecture at tU. Leland Stunlord, Jr., University.

YI'ASUI.NUTOX. March 8.—President Harrison has ianswered tho question what an ex-pretident will do. He is going back to the practice of his profession, and incidental to that will lecture on law in the Leland Stanford, Jr.. university of California. The president has formally notified Senator Stanford of his acceptance of the offer, which was made to him several weeks ago. Gen. Harrison's first lecture will be delivered some time, next month. The full courso course has not been mapped out, but in time it will undoubtedly be broadened so as to cover tl)e field of international law. Gen. Harrison recentlv told a friend that he would be glad when the time came to review tho course of his administration, in foreign affairs generally, as he had become specially interested in international law as well as constitutional law. Accounts differ as to the compensation Gen. Harrison will receive. It was stated that the amount would not be much under S15,0U0 per year.

Ccpur D'Atlnc Mine Cloned Down. SroKARE, Wash., March 8.—Hunker Hill and Sullivan mine at Wadner, Idaho, the greatest silver-lead property in the world, has closed down indefinitely. The reason assigned is ho high railroad tariff on ores. The manager says the company does not care to take out its ore and get nothing in return. It is rumored that other C'Kur D'Aline properties will also shut down.

GOOD-BY TO LAKKWOOD.

LAKF.WOOD, N. J., March 3.—Presi-dent-elect Cleveland and party left Lake wood on Thursday for Washington. Probably 2.000 porsons assembled at the depot to bid them good-by. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland rode to the depot in a hotel bus drawn by four horses. Mrs. Cleveland wore a dark blue wool dress, with a tight-fitting astrakhan jacket and black felt hat. She smiled and waved her hand to tho crowds that surrounded the party when the station was reached. It was with difficulty that the party alighted, so close did the crowd press. Mr. Cleveland was cheered from the moment ho alighted from the carriage until he was on the train. 43very one in the front ranks of the crowd shook hands with him as ho slowly made his way across the platform. When he mounted the steps of the car there were more cheers. As soon as they were in their car the whistle blew, and amid a deafening cheer and waving of handkerchiefs the presidential train started.

Mr. Cleveland said he fait regret in leaving such a pleasant place as Lakewood, where he bad passed so many

In speaking of an interview Senator-elect Murphy, of given out pledgto the administration, Mr. Cleveland said he would be pleased to meet Mr. Murphy at any time, aud he trusted that Mr. Murphy's prediction that the administration would be a successful one would prove true. If everyone would do his share of the work there would be no doubt of the result.

Arrival at the Cupltul.

WASHINGTON, March 3.—It was just 0:30 o'clock Thursday night when the special train bearing President Cleveland, his family and the invited friends of his party rolled into the Baltimore & Ohio station at Washington. The train had made the 130 miles of its run from Lakewood in 140 minutes, not including stops. The party had eaten luncheon north of Philadelphia and were not at all wearied by their journey. The railroad station was surrounded by a throng of several thousand people,, who packed the adjacent streets from curb to curb. As soon.as the train came to a standstill Mr. Cleveland alighted and was received upon the platform by Col. lierret.t and Mr. Norris of the local committee of arrangements. These gentlemen wero then takeu with in the ear and presented to Mrs. Cleveland, who remembered them both, and to the other members of tho party, tn tlie meantime the policemen had cleared a narrow lane through the crowd from the exit of the station to the curb, where a half dozen carriages were waiting.

Greeted by the Crou*d*.

In walking to the carriages Mr. Cleveland caine first, arm in arm with Col. Herrett, and Mrs. Cleveland followed, escorted by Mr. Norris. Immediately behind Mrs. Cleveland caino a white-capped mnid bearing in her arms Baby Ruth. Mr. Cleveland's appearance as he emerged from the station was greeted with a tremendous cheer, which was repeat'd for Mrs. Cleveland and redoubled tor the maid and the baby. Mr. Cleveland acknowledged this welcome by lifting his silk hat and bowing. Mrs. Cleveland smiled and the baby looked bewildered. The party lost no time in hurrying to the carriages.

Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and their official escort entered the first carriage, wliilo Baby Ruth and her maid and D.-. and Mrs. Bryant filled tlie secov.d. The other carriages were occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Don M. Dickinson, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Benedict and family, Mr. and Mrs. Watson Gilder and the stenographer, O'Brien.

Tried to Avoid the Crowd*. The carriages drove from the station to the Arlington hotel by a circuitous route, in order to avoid the crowds on Pennsylvania avenue. At the ladies' entrance at the Arlington the canopy over the sidewalk was hemmed on both sides by perhaps a thousand people who had been patiently standing there for an hour, and who were only kept back from the entrance by two platoons of policemen. Across the street, opposite tho entrance, several carriages were grouped, which were covered with oil-lookers. Mr. Roselle,

!He

proprietor of the hotel,

hastened to the curb just as Mr. Cloveland's carriage drove up and assisted the presidcnt-olect and his wife to alight. Within the hotel the ladies' reception room was thronged with guests, who, however, madd uo demonstration, but maintained a respectful ailance as Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland

p.issed across the room to tlie elevnlor, which carried them to the second floor, wheie arc the several suits reserved for the party, »re«lnl Along 11•

Col. Lamont., deswibinir tho, journey of the presidential party from Lukewood, said that the trip was without spur in 1 incident except at a small station near l'h hidelphia. where the presidentelect did some hand-shaking. At nearly every station passed by the presidential train there were many net-sons assembled who were more or less demonstrative. In one or two instances bands of music enlivened the scene. Bunting and other decorations were very generally displayed at stations along the rqad.

Will (,'ull oti I'rfiKlfinnt HurrUoi,. It is in accordance with tho official etujui'tte for tho president-elect to call on the retiring president soon after the former's arrival in the city. The retiring president then returns the call. After dinner Thursday evening the hour was too late for Mr. Cleveland to call on Ills predecessor, and he deferred thut duty until this morning. Then, at 10:30 o'clock, he will forma'ly call on President Harrison. Afterward President Harrison will repair to the Arlington hotel aud formally return the call of tho p: esidcnt-elect. This formal exchange of courtesies in the day will be followed in the evening by a more informal affair—a dinner at the white house iu honor of the president-elect and Mrs. Cleveland, nud by tho prcsident and Mrs. McKee. his daughter, There will be a few outside guests iuI riled, but tile dinner will bo iu the naI turo of a family affair.

Four of the Cabinet Arrive. Up to this time four of Cleveland's cabinet have arrived in the city, tho latest to come being J. sterling Morton, of Nebraska, who reached tlie city at a late hour Thursday night and took apartments at the Arlington. Those now here are John G. Carlisle, Daniel S. Lamont, Hilary A. Herbert and Mr. Morton. Messrs. Olney, Bissell and I Smith are expected in the city to-day, but Judge tires)-am is not looked for until next week.

A Novel Feature,

A novel feature for the inauguration has been arranged. It grows out of the fact that, for the first timo in a good many years, the president-elect has announced his cabinet before taking the. oath of office. Tho incoming cabinet will probably all be here, and according to arrangements perfected Thursday evening the outgoing cabinet officers and their successors will accompany President Harrison and Mr. Cleveland to the capitol on the occasion of the inauguration. Secretary of State Foster is away, lint his place will be filled by Assistant Wharton, who will ride with Secretary of Stato Gresham. No one here remembers any such occurrence as this is and the feature will be a decided hit.

HIS POLICY OUTLINED. Mr. Cleveland'!! Financial IMan Ofven to tho rnbllo.

NEW YOHK, March 8.—It is reported in financial circles that Presidentelect Cleveland and liis new secretary of the treasury, Mr. Carlisle, have approved and will put into operation a financial policy upon the following basis: 1. Hi'tire alt paper money.

Coin silver to take its plaec. Issue coin certificates as receipts for deposits of coin. Establish an equivalent, fund to hold uttd

maintain the difference, in gold, between tho bulliou value and the face value of silver coin. To do this, it is claimed, the new administration will purchase the gold required by an appropriation from the revenues of the treasury from year to year, or sell United States bonds and apply the proceeds to such purchase. When the plan is carried out. it is said, the money of the United States will be gold coin and silver coin equivalent with gold.

WASHINGTON, March ,'i. —The navy department has received answers from all the governments invited to participate in the great naval display in honor of the discovery of America. In response to dispatches of iuquiry from the state department, sent lust Saturday to the five nations that had not acknowledged the iuvitation of the Uuited States, three declinations and two acceptances have been received. Austria, Turkev and Greece, including Roumaniu and Servia, are obliged to decline the invitation to participate, the reason given in each case being that no vessels are. available.

Germany and Russia accept Germany will send two armored cruisers, Kaiserln and Augusta, and the cruiser Seeadlor. Russia will send a large fleet and will probably have the largest representation of any nation in the ceremonies. The Russian fleet will include the first-class armored cruisers Dlmitri do Skoi aud General Admiral and the coi-r vette Itynda, with Vice-Admiral Koznakoff commanding. Two or three other vessels will le ^ve Cronstadt when the ice yields. They will probably be the battleship Kmperor Nicholas and the armored cruisers MackinolT and I'amiata Azowa.

Qreat Britain has accepted the invitation, but the fleet lias not been definitely selected. The flagship Blalte and several vessels of tlie north Atlantic squadron will be present, and it is probable one or two cruisers will also be sent over.

Italy will send tho cruisers vEtna, the Ad-

Bausan and Dogali, and perhaps transport Eridano, under Rear miral Maguaghi.

Spain will be represented by cruisers lteina and Rogente and fanta Isabel and the gunboat Espamui, The duke of Veregua and his suite will sail for America on the American line steamer New York on April 8.

France has virtually accepted the invitation to participate, but no vessels have yet been designated.

Brazil will send the ironclad Aquidaban and the cruisers Republic and Tiradentes.

From the Ne'herlarids will come one frigate of tlie first class, the Van Speyk. Uruguay has declined on the ground that no vessels are available.

Tlie Senate and House Closing I'p the liunloeift of tho Session. WARIJINQTON, March 3.—The sundry civil appropriation bill consumed the timo of the house Thursday. There was a constant din, and few members who were removed more than a couple of feet from the disputants could hear a word of what was uttered.
