THE CASUALTY UNEXPECTED Five Men Injured—None of the Workmen Thought They Were In Danger—Ground Cracked by the Action of a Heavy Icewagon—People Hurry to the Assistance of the Unfortunate Men. Philadelphia, Sept.2s.—Five laborers were buried under a mass of earth almost as compact as stone, while at work yesterday afternoon, making au excava cation for tho'foundation of a wall. Oue man was fatally injured and died a few minutes >*ffer his body was recovered. Four crffers were seriously injured and received attention at the Germantown and Samaritan hospitals. Killed: Andrew Kovats, a Hungarian. Injured: Michael Kirtz, badly bruised back, right leg contused; hurt internally. John Toskel, contused back. John Fitzgerald, contused back. Douio Dendine. left hip bruised. Tons of Earth Fell. The casualty happened in an unexpected manner. None of the workmen thought they ■were in danger at any time. For a month past they have been employed at the Germantown avenue bridge, building a heavy stone wall to j prevent just such an accident as befell -them. The laborers had finished their I noon lunch and were again at work 1 when a heavy icewagon was driven along the edge of the ground in the! shadow of which they stood. Nothing unusual was noticed at the time but it is supposed that it was then that the ground was cracked. A few minutes later, at 1:25 o’clock, a mass of several tons of barth fell on the five men named as they were bending over their shovels. Kovats and Kirtz were hidden from sight, but portions of the forms of Fitzgerald, Teskel and Dendine could be I seen as they struggled to extricate themselves. — Assisted the Unfortunate. Thirteen men all told were at work along the wall and those who had es-1 caped being caught rushed to the assistance of the unfortunates. With shovels the hard ground was carefully pushed aside. Kovats Was found to be doubled up unconscious, but still breathing. Although Kirtz had been buried out of sight, the ground fell in., such away as to give him a breathing space about his head. Ambulances from the Germantown and SaiifiiritandibspitaTs were sent for, but Kovats died before he could receive medical attention. THE VICTIMS. Speculation as to Whether There Was One or Two Cyclones. Spring Valley, Minn., Sept. 25.— That there were at least two and possibly three twisters responsible for the work of the destruction and death on Friday night seems conclusive upon examination. While several points were struck at about 10 o’clock, Burr Oak, a village near Osage and to the southwest of Leroy was visited at 11 o’clock and it does not seem likely that one cyclone would make such a complete circle and last, from 1 9:45 toll o’clock in a radius of eight miles. Leroy was struck at 9:45 o’clock and Cresco. la., on the southeast at idmost the same moment, so that it is quite clear that these were separate cyclones. St. Pact,, Sept. 25.—The most accurate list of, the dgad in Friday night’s cyclone yet. obtainable is as follows, all apparent duplications being eliminated: At Spring Valley: Mr. and Mrs. Neimau Dqdge.

Nine Similar Arrangements With Other Nations — All Goods Coming From Countries Concerned Now Subject to Full Kates of Duties—Three Months* Notice Served by Brazil. Washington, Sept. 26.—Besides the reciprocity treaty with Brazil, which will lapse entirely Jan. 1, the United States has, entered into nine other similar arrangements with other nations i under the authority conferred by the > McKinley act. These arrangements are i to Spain as to Cuba, and Porto Rico i with the Dominion republic, Guatemala, I Germapy, Nicaragua, Honduras, Aus-tro-Hungary, Salvador and Great Britain, the last named for the British colonies of Trinidad, Barbadoes, Leeward islands, Nevis, Dominica, Windward islands, British Guiana and Jamaica. The first of these arrangements was made with Brazil Jan. 31,1891, and the I last with Salvador Nov. 29, 1893. To Be Followed by Other Nations. As Brazil was the first to enter so she was the first to withdraw, and it is expected that her example will be followed by all i the other concerned with the possible exception of Spain, which will proceed more leisurely, in the hope of negotiating a treaty to "replace the commercial arrangement. The immediate effect of the abandonment of the treaties has been felt already in the United States, where all goods coming from the countries concerned are now subject to full rates of duty just as though nd treated existed, but untiLthe othef governments act, either as did Brazil, in serving formal three‘months’notice of the termination, or by summary instruction to their collectors to assess full duties of American goods, our exporters of grains and farm products and certain lines of manufactured products may still benefit by the favored rates of duty to which these commodities were subject under the arrangements. Pension Payments. Washington, Sept. 26.—Acting secretary Sims has issued a requisition on the treasury for $40,800,000 for the payment ; of pensions to be deposited with the following agencies: Pittsburg, $1,600,000; Milwaukee, $1,900,000; Des Moines, la., $2,100,000; Concord, N. H., $800,000; Chicago, $2,700,000: Buffalo $1,700,000. Treasury Balance. Washington, Sept. 26.—The cash bal- i ance in the treasury is $137,160,000, of which $58,296,232 is gold. CAPTURED A STILL. Oldest Illicit Whisky Manufactory lit Tennessee Raided. Memphis, Sept. 26. —News has reached 1 here of the capture of the Weaks still, one of the oldest wildcat stills in Ten- I nessee, located in Overton county, by : Deputy Marshal Curti§.pnd two assist- I ants. Old John Weaks used to operate ■ the still and whemhe xvas away watch- ■ big the movements of the. raiders his wife turned out the “mountain dew. ” i The daily output was only seven gallons. Numerous attempts have been made to ! capture this still, but as the county is ! filled with moonshiners and' their sym- • pathizers all previous efforts failed. The ; still was destroyed but no arrests were ' made. NICARAGUAN INCIDENT. Assertion Made Thai the Parties Expelled Wore Rebels. London. Sept. 26.—An official of the government who is now in London asserts that all t|io men ex- I polled from Nicaragua in connection ' wiih the Bluefields incident had been parties to the rebellioh in that region. The Nicaraguan government was adviser in ch>f to the Clarence ■ government and was not bound to grant a trial to the men arrested, as it was only oxercising iti right to expel pernicious foreigners. Had there been a trial, it Would have been worse for the prisoners. He denies patch’s statement that

Washington, Sept. 25.—TJie United States strike commission appointed by the president to investigate the recent > Chicago, labor troubles adjourned its j hearings from Chicago to Washington ' and the commission will meet in this I city at the department of labor tomorrow, at which time, as announced at the close of the sessions in Chicago, the commission will be in readiness to receive in writing anj’ suggestions which may be made relative to the solution of j questions involved in the late controI versies. It will at that time also hear • ■ any parties who may desire' to be heard ' relative to the facts involved and the , commission may, after a careful examination of the testimony which has al- ■ ready been taken, conclude to call ■ further witnesses to supplement that . which has been given on either side. I ' CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. I r .. — Existing Contracts With Surfmen Not Affected by nn Act of CongressWashington, Sept. 25.—Solicitor > Reeve of the treasury has rendered an > opinion which involves the constitu- > tional question, whether congress has a ! right to pass a law which impairs the l obligation of contracts.- At its last sesj sion congress passed an act reducing the ’ | compensation of surfmen employed at ■ | lifesaving stations un the great lakes, [. The question nt i sue was whether this [ reduction applied where contracts with i surfmen at the, old rate had already j | been qjitered into. The solicitor finds ■ that the said act was not intended to ’ j apply to existing, contracts with surfmen at lake Stationr. ; I Expect Great Things. W \shington, Sept. 25. —Naval of- . fictrs'are expecting .great things from i their new' small caliber magazine rifles. .: The board which will conduct the tests ’ i of the weapons meets at the Newport ■ torpedo station, a week from today.

W. Hodgkins, the West Portals telegraph operator who is alleged tobere- ! sponsible for the recent railroad tunnel I collision, was given a hearing yesterday before the district court. Hodgkins i pleaded not guilty to the charge of inan- ; slaughter. Operator Crosier, who was I called as a witness and was cross-ex- ’ aminet| by Hodgkins’ counsel, put in i certain testimony which may lessen the i chances of Hodgkins being held for tlje i grand jury. Crosier admitted that he ■ had been discharged on two occasions in , the past four mouths, one for sleeping at ■ his post, thereby delaying a train 35 ! minutes. On the night of the accident in question ho admitted ho had been i reading a Newspaper. He stood with ' the paper in one hand, the other hand * on the lever ready to give the sigmil as 1 expn'- s train 19 went into the tunnel. I Ho resumed reading and forgot to report ■l9 to West Portal. The evidence crei ated considerable excitement. ' What Parkhurst Said. New York, Sept. 24. —Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst fifed auotjier broadside' at Tammany hall and the police department last night. Among some of the things h& said were: “I think we can thrash Tammany out of sight on elecj tipn day. There is only one obstacle, ; the fail uro of auti-Tammany organizaI tiousto agree. The city of New York i is'at present the most phenomenal in the, world. Tne recent outbreak of crime is unparalleled. The spirit of anarchy is abroad. There is such a disregard for all police regulations by the force as should make us blush if we do not tremble?’ HUGHES' WHITE LABLE Pale Ale in pints, 15 cents per bottle at *'CUIILEY , ’ II.AT)AMACHRH’S ■■ ■ i j I TV I MT>T
