After being mutilated in a fearful manner by the father, William Henderson, who cat off the negro’s ears, the victim was seised and held while one of the crowd pounded his fingers joint by joint, one finger at a time, until his hand was a shapeless mass of bloody jelly. This was because in the struggle to subdue Miss Renderson he had bitten oft one of her fingers. Each man in the crowd then took a turn at shooting at him, till, when he died, he must have had four or five pounds of lead in him. lie was literally shot to pieces, and the bloody pulp, which only an hour before had been Neal Smith, was thrown into a hastily prepared pile of brushwood and burned until not a sorap of bone remained.

and killed a little girl and wounded about twenty-five more, several of

them fatally.

The foundation for the building extended about 10 feet above the basement bottom, and on tins was erected a platform where the ceremonies were being held. Over 1,000 persons were standing on the floor when a section of it, containing about 300 people, sank beneath its burden and precipitated them into the pit. The section which gave way was in two wings, and as It sank it formed a death trap for the people, from which there was no chance to escape. The pit resembled an inverted roof of very steep slant, the ends being closed up by stone walls, and into this it was that there were crowded men. women and children in one struggling heap.

A Faille.

As the floor gave way, a great cry went up from the multitude, but in another second it •hud fallen and carried in its ruin the lives of several persona Those at the top of the mass escaped easily, but when the pit was partly emptied those victims still entrapped could not clamor up the steep sides, and they trampled each other like so many wild creatures, the strong getting on top and the weak being crushed beneath the great weight. Althoagh there were a thousand people ready to rush to the rescue they could render very little aid to the helpless persons in the pit. and several minutes elapsed before ropes and ladders could be procured. When help finally reached the unfortunate victims, several had already been trampled to death and others fatally injured. The old Catholic church near by was turned into a hospital and morgue. Into this were carried those who were killed and injured. The following is a list so far as ascertained:

Chicago, OcL 9.—Five armed and masked road agents held up an electric car in the outskirts of the city between 8 and 9 o’clock Monday night and went through tho passengers in regular train robber fashion. One passenger was shot und two or three others clubbed, and the robbers escaped without leaving a clew of any kind as to their identity.

One of them seized It and wrenched it from his hands. Then the bandit poised his new weapon m the air and struck Westman a terrific blow intheface. It brought the blood spurting. It was the signal for a general attack—an attack without mercy or compassion. N. O. Jojinson had tried to rise in his place. He was struck to the earth with a single blow from the cane. As he lurched forward with a great gash in his head he was struck again. Then he lay still and white.
