Disastrous Accident Occurs at Lorain, Ohio.
LAYING QF A
CORNERSTONE.
Temporary F'loo* of the Pluirch Sudl«iriy Gave Way Hurling Ittimlvrds Into tho I ISasoiueut—One Person Killed, Ten FaI I tally Injured and Thirty or forty Others
Badly Hurt.
LORAIN, O., Oct. 7.-While a great I crowd of people was assembled yesterday afternoon to witness the laying of
1
the cornerstone ol' the new St. Mary's Catholic church, a temporary floor on which many of the people were standing suddenly gave way, precipitating many men, women and children into the basement. One was killed outright, 10 were fatally injured, and between CO and 40 others were badly hurt.
The services were -just about to begin when the accident happened. Fully 3,000 persons -were assembled on and around the platform, which had been constructed across the foundation of the edifice. The boards forming the temporary jloor Had been laid across tho joists, which were supported in the middle by upright posts. These supports broke and the floor went down with a crash. Fully 300 people were thrown into the pit formed by the sagging in the middle of the floor.
For a moment everybody was paralyzed by the calamity, but soon there was a rush forward by those willing to lend assistance to the crushed and struggling people. This made matters worse, for DO more persons were crowded forward into the hole upon those who went down with the floor. When the confusion had subsided somewhat, many of those who were able to extricate themselves did so by walking and orawling over their leas fortunate companions. The work of rescue was begun at once and all were finally taken from the pit. Following is a list of the killed and wounded:
Killed: Mary Weber, 8 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Weber of Sheffield.
Fatally injured: Rosa Mctiee, 3 years old, skull fractured.
Katie Grifiin, 8 yeans old, hurt internally. Mrs. Mary McGracith, left leg crushed and hurt internally.
Mrs. John Eustin, aged woman, left leg crushed and chest injured. Mrs. Cornelius Sullivan, spine injured and left leg crushed.
Mary Gabier, cliest crushed and hurt internally. Mrs. Michael Kelling, injured internally.
Mrs. Kate Diedrick, both legs broken anil hurt internally. John Feldcamp, hurt internally.
Those badly injured, but who will recover, are: Nellie Dollard, head cut. I
Nicholas Wagner, skull fractured. Leo Theobald, 3 years old, head cut. Colonel W. I. Brown, leg and arm bruised.
Mrs. John Fox, both legs broken, Mrs. William Duburgett, hurt internally.
Mrs. Mary Latimer, right leg crushed. Mrs. Jacob Keefer, hart internally, and leg will have to be amputated.
John Martin, leg broken. John Eustin, back hurt. Mrs. M. Bruce, ankle broken. William Ryan, leg broken. Many others were severely bruised. The old Catholic church and parochial school were at once turned into hospitals. A score of doctors were called and they were kept busy for hours caring for the injured.
The accident was due to defective timbers. The contractor was told Saturday that the platform was insecure, but he said it would hold all the people that could be crowded upon it. There were between 1,500 and 2,000 people on it when it gave way. Despite the accident the services were continued and fche laying of the cornerstone was completed.
CLAIM AGAINST COLOMBIA.
English llailway Contractors Exorbitant in Their Demands.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A dispatch to a local paper from Panama says: The audacious claim against the Colombian government of the English railway contractors continues to be the all-absorbing topic of discussion in the press and is creating excitement among ail classes.
The contract for building the Santander railway was similar to that for building the Antioquia railway. The same contractors rejected it suddenly, a long time ago, alleging through tneir legal agent, Spencer, that, not having the necessary funds and being unable to raise a loan, they were incapable of tuliilling their engagement. The government agreed to pay them a small amount, winch they had spent in preliminary work. In November, 1873, Bpeneer was authorized to settle all tho claims against the government by the contractors for £50,000 now the sum claimed is £0-10,000, equivalent to about -7,t/00,000 pesos in silver currency.
Dr. Luhrseu, the German minister, who was obliged by orders of his government to retire lrom the arbitration committee of which he had been president since May, is preparing a circular letter to the local press. This letter is not, it is said, to be written in the pleasantest terms.
The ollichd standing of the British minister, G. F. B. Jeuner, who supports the ciaim of the contractors, is not enviable. Socially, he is repudiated generally, all opinions are unanimous against him.

EMONEY FOR IRELAND. An Appeal From tho Officers of the Irish National Alliance.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The nationaj officers and executive committee of the Irish National Alliance issed yesterday the following appeal:
Headquarters Irish National Alliance, NEW YOKE, Oct. 6, 1895. To AH Friends of Irish Independence:
ri*he
convent'ma which retejiely organized at ChiengoJp3 Irish National Alliance, has p'nctwPits guidance and government in the hands of the undersign^, for the ensuing two years. The purpose of the alliance has already been sufficiently proclaimed—to obtain the complete independence of Ireland, Ly any means consistent with the laws of nations. Organisations, like governments, have to depend on their revenue for the successful accomplishment of their duties. The "sinews of war" 1'or both are absolutely necessary, both for organization and propaganda.
England, the arch enemy of Ireland, has at her disposal immense resources— the accumulations of cent uries of conquest and piracy. She has it in her power to pontrol or mould public opinion in her own interests. Even in free America she possesses this power to an astonishing extent. Her side of the Irish question has filled the American mind for a quarter of a century—evor since Ireland's friends at home and abroad committed the costly fault of trusting to parliamentary agitation to achieve the liberty of their motherland.
Now, however, a totally different olicy has been inaugurated. The absolute claim of Ireland to a distinct national life has been placed forcibly before tho world by the unanimous voice of the recent Irish national conventions held in Chicago. Provincialism has been cast aside and the national demand of Ireland which slumbered, but did not die, is again in the ascendant. We are determined that it shall so remain and that no effort of ours, no sacrifice on our part will be loft untried or unperformed until viotory crowns our sacred cause.
We appeal, thereforo, to all friends of the independence of Ireland to aid us in the good work by placing at our disposal the means requisite for its accomplishment. You are aaked to subscribo in accordance with your means, and to forward your subscriptions as speedily as possible to the treasurer of the Irish National Alliance. Hon. P. V. Fitzgerald, 154 Twenty-second street, Chicago. "God save America and Ireland."
This was signed by William Lyman, president I. N. A. J. J. Donovan, Massachusetts Martin Kelly, Tennessee J. J. Sheehy, California T. J. Dunder, Ohio James Lawlor, Texas Chris Gallnghener, Minnesota Captain M. Mangan, Wisconsin J. N. Kennedy, Montana J, H. Greery, Pennsylvania.
Plans of organization are being prepared and wrill be issued in a few days.

l'robecution Expects to Shatter His Alibi.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.—Information which will shatter the last remnant of Durant's attempted alibi is said to be in possession of the prosecution. W. R. Derr, a student in the Cooper medical college, sat alongside of Durant at the lectures. When examined with the other members of the class, Derr said he did not know whether Durant was present at the afternoon lecture on April 3 or not.
Derr's father, who is a prominent physician, informed the police, however, that in his own home and to the members of his own family young Deristated that on the afternoon of April 3 Durant's seat was occupied by a student named Barry. He added that the student who that afternoon answered to Durant's name occupied one of the rear seats in the classroom. The communication made in his own family was not accompanied by any injunction of secrecy.
It was not until all the students, in eluding Derr. on the witness stand, had denied knowledge of the important fact of Durant's presence or absence that those who had heard the story concluded to communicate with the district attorney. It is presumed that Derr, in common with others of Durant's friends, desired as far as possible to protect him, and so avoided answering pertinent questions by responding, "I don't know."
It is now* considered certain that Derr will be recalled to the stand and required to tell all the truth concerning the events in |fee classroom Jn the fatal afternoon of April 3.
IN BEHALF OF THE INSURGENTS.
An Appeal for Cuban Massmeetiiigs to Be Hold Oct. 31.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—An appeal has been issued by the committee appointed by the Chicago massmeetings of Sept. 30, to their fellow citizens throughout the Union, to call similar meetiij^s not later than Oct. 31, and wherever practicable to be held on that night, "iu order that the Cuban mpvement may derive tho benefit of such simultaneous action as adding to its impressiveness.
The call says in part: "The cause of liberty is involved, in which, as directly affecting our near island neighbor, all liborty-loving Americans should be interested, extending at least, the moral aid of their sympathy aud encouragement to the struggling Cubans, and leaving the consequences to the supreme ruler of the nations."
DEMENTED OVER GOOD FORTUNE.
An Old L:icly Makes Tliree Desperate Attempts on Her Ui'o.
MTDDLETOWN, N. Y., Oci. 7.—Mrs. David Divine, bister of "Diamond Joe" Reynolds, who lives at Hurleyville. Sullivan county, has become demented. She was left $75,000 by her brother, aud the good fortune, and the fear that she would lose it, is the cause.
She is now hovering between life and death, owing to three determined attempts to end her life. She first tried hanging she then let a heavy window fall on her neck, and wound up by cutting lior neck, arms and feet with a penknife. She is 65 years old, aud has great vitality, and will probably recover. 1

A VIGOROUS POLICY.
Warships Ordered Out by Uncle Sam.
MONROE DOCTRINE ENFORCED.
Congrcssmi-n in Washington in 'Favor of
Extending Belligerent Rights to the Cu
ban Insurgents—-Question That Will Be
Presented to Congress For Consideration
at the Earliest I'o»sible 3Ioinent. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Every con
gressman wrho has made his appearance in Washington during the last few days has expressed himself most emphatically in favor of a vigorous upholding of the Monroe doctrine by the administration, and also in favor of extending belligerent rights to the Cnbau insurgents. "This question promises to be one of the earliest presented to congress for its consideration, and there is every reason to believe that tho president will take advanced ground in that portion of his message which touches upon the foreign relations of the United States,
If the president really intends to ask congress to authorize him to extend belligerent, rights to tlio insurgents of Cuba it is almost certain that his reI quest will be speedily complied with, nor is there any doubt as to what course the legislative branch of the government will take should the president request authority to emphasize the position of this country in the matter of maintaining the Monroe doctrine.
Up to the present moment it appears that Ambassador Bayard has not replied? to the numerous letters which have been sent to him from the state department with regard to the insisttence of the United States upon arbitration between the republic of Venzuela and Great Britain on the subject of the boundary line between the republic and British Guinea. Until Mr. Bayard replies to the letters which have been sent to him neither the state department nor the president can take any 6teps toward enforcing the doctrine of President Monroe.
That the administration is preparing for Something emphatic, however, is evidenced by the fact chat the new battleship Indiana—thd first of her class— is to be made ready for sea by the 1st of November. The Indiana, as she lay at the Cramps' yard today, wall require a great deal of work before she can be placed in commission.
Not only is the Indiana to be made ready for sea in a much shorter time than is usually allotted for the fitting out of a vessel in her condition, but the Cramps have been asked to use their utmost endeavors to prepare the Brooklyn, launched Wednesday last, for action.
The battleship Iowa, which is still on the stocks, is due for launching sometime next spring,.but if the present policy of activity is maintained in the navy it is more than likely that her upper works will be so far advanced as to permit the launching of this second naval mastodon before the end of the current year.
There are various other vessels of the navy in course of construction iu different yards of tho country, and efforts are being made to prepare them for sea at tire earliest possible moment. In the meantime the naval ordnance foundry here has been working industriously to prepare the armament for the new vessels of the fleet, and the ordnance officers declare that there will be no delay on their part in preparing tho guns with which the new vessels are to be manned.
