Secretary Foster Say* There I* No Danger •r a Panic — North Dakota’s Electorial Vote—Toledo Street Car Strike — Dynamite In Stove Wood—Killed In a Wreck. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. Two Ladle* Pltoll Headlong Down an Elevator Shaft. - i-*” A shocking accident occurred at Slemon &. Bro's book store, Fort Wayrm, Ind., in which two persons lost their • Hves. Mrs. John Swaidner, Jr., and Mrs. Mary Noonan, were making purchases In Siemon’s store. The place was crowded with customers and the elevator was in frequent use. Both ladles hud been on the. second floor looking at some pictures and wishing to descend, stepped into the elevator. Another lady and a little girl also got aboard. The bov in charge, John Schophorst, pulled the elevator cord to come down. For some reason it began to ascend, and. it is thought, the boy probably pulled the wrong cord. It is but a show, distance to the third floor, and when this was reached one of the ladies stepped off. At this point there is a passage way of about two feet, with a wall in front leading apast the Shaft. When the elevator is at a stand stiU it Is very easy to step off and walk to the third floor across the passage wav. This the lady who stepped off did very easily, as the elevator was moving slowly, and was on a level wltji the floor. The lady who stepped off was apparently not greatly frightened, but as the elevator continued to ascend the other two ladies became frightened. TbeolderpMrs. Noonan,sprang out after the elevator had passed the opening of the third floor about four feet and landed on the narrow passage way. She landed safely and retained her balance, but a second later Mrs. Swaidner sprang after her and striking tne narrow pas- . sage way, caught hold of Mrs. Noonan, i and both lost their balance. Both ladies gave a wild shriek and pitched headlong down the shaft. They fell a distance of forty feet down the shaft onto the brick paved basement. Mrs. Swaidner was killed instantly and Mrs. Noonan lived but a few hours. Dynamite In a Stick of Stoye Wood. When the kitchen fire was lighted in Andrew Bickles’ farm-house, near Valparaiso, Ind., there was a Violent explosion. The stove was demolished, fragments hurled in every direction, a holo torn in the roof and the house virtually wrecked. Mrs. BicKles received several severe gashes in the head and her two children were so badly injured that if their lives are spared it is thought they will be blind. The explosion was caused bv dynamite, which had been secreted in a stick of stove wood. ■ An Indian Uprising. Mancos (Col.) special: There is a possibility of Indian trouble as a result of a rush to the San Juan gold field. ' “Navajo” Frank came into this place the other day.

They claim the gold on the reservation for themselves and sav the white men must keep off I their land. No Need for Alarm. New York special: Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster has left for his home at Fostoria, Ohio. Before going he said to a reporter that he had no con- j ference with the. bankers here in reference to the export of gold and the condition of the treasury.

"Mr. ' Blaine had h's bad spell Sunday, but after he recovered from that there has been no immediate danger of his passing away at anyt.me since. The fact that after my early morning visit yesterday I did not come again until night ought to show conclusively that I do not regard Mr. Bia ne’s case as dangerous." "Are you willing to state that Mr. Blaine is not likely to have another case of heart failure like that of Sunday, which camo I near terminating his life?” “No, I can’t insure against a recurrence of such attacks.” Notwit! stand ng the above statement of Dr. Johnston, the public may bear in mind one important fact: Mr. Blaine is kept constantly under.the influence of h-art stimu ants to prevent a recurrence of heart failure like that of Sunday.
