collapse: of ax eight-story building at xdw york. Three 3Ingled Bodies Taken Oat of the Debris, Eleven Workmen Missingand Others Injured. THE CONTRACTORS ARRESTED CESTCIl OF TUB BUILDING SAID TO HAVE OCC OVERLOADED. Fatal Railway Collision In ZVerr Hampshire and Serious Accident on the Continental Divide. NEW YORK. Aug. 8.-Vlth scarcely a sound to warn the seventy or eighty workmen of their danger an eight-story building in course of erection and nearing completion, at West Broadway and Third street, collapsed an hour before, tioon today. Several men were killed and Injured, and others are missing. A list of the casualties follows: CHARLES E. HENDERSON, electrician, killed. CHARLES SMITH, electrician; lived at 215 East Ninety-sixth street; died at St. Vincent's Hospital. His skull was fractured, right arm broken, right side crushed In and Internally injured. JOHN BURKE, laborer, married, fortyfour years old, Brooklyn; dead when taken from the ruins. WILLIAM FOX. laborer, broken thigh and injured Internally. JOHN CLUNE, laborer, injured. JAMES KENNEY. forty-eight ycar3 old. laborer; contusions of tack, not serious. CORNELIUS GUIDER. laborer. No. 773 Bergen street, Brooklyn; scalp wounds and Contusions; not seriously injured. WILLIAM FRANK, laborer, age and residence unknown: seriously injured. SMITH, two ribs fractured and contusions. The missing are: John Murphy, laborer, of Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn; Christopher O'Rourke, laborer, Brooklyn; Micnael CHare, laborer, Brooklyn; Michael Savage, laborer, Brooklyn; Edward Hailey, laborer, Brooklyn; John McGulre, Brooklyn; Michael Flynn, .Brooklyn; James Furrell, Michael Fahey, Charles Rellly and Charles E. Peterson. There is a difference of opinion as to how the accident occurred. The prevailing idea is that an immense iron beam on one of the upper floors snapped, the floor gave way and crashed down through the building. There was a great V-shaped. Jagged hole in all the floors and at the bottom of the wreck were piled up bags of lime which had been stored on an upper floor, mingled with bricks, timbers, beams and tools, and from the mass came the groans and cries of wounded workmen. Ine firemen and police- who came early to the scene could hardly see to perform their work of rescue because of Ole cloud of dust that poured from the wreck. Many friends and. relatives of the dead and injured were there and many distressing incidents resulted. When Coroner Fltzpatrick arrived to look after the dead he paid, as a practical builder. It was his opinion that the disaster had been caused by the sandy nature of the land on which the structure had been set. There were others who said that the building had been originally Intended to be only seven stories high, and the eighth story, when added, had been too heavy for the Iron work. The builder denied this without being able to form any idea as to the cause of the collapse. A policeman was near the scene when the accident occurred. He said he heard the roar of the falling building, and immediately after it saw a horse running away. Hurrying towards the animal he saw the cloud of dust near Third street, and ' turned towards it. There he saw two men struggling in a pile of debris. He pulled them out and began to release a third when the floor beneath gave way and let them down Into the basement. He was terribly bruised, and It Li feared his back was broken. A gang of men was employed all afternoon removing the debris and searching for bodies. When the building collapsed many of the -workmen left the scene. This makes it impossible to state Just how many are missing, and the true number will not be known until these have reported to their foremen. The ruins fill the center of the building with broken timber, twisted Iron girders and columns, brick, laths and plaster. It makes a mound as high as the second floor, and Is a mass as dense and hard to handle as a bank of clay. It Is said that seven men were at work in the cellar directly under the center of the wreck. The building was filled with plasterers, plumbers, electricians, gastltters and laborers. Contractors Parker and Sellgman were arrested and each held in S3.000 iall on the charge of causing the death of John Burke. Harry Alexander, of the Alexander Chamberllan Electric Company, which was doing the electrical work In the building, said that his men had reported to him on Monday that the wires that had been fdaced on the sixth floor were out of Ine, showing that the walls had already got out of plumb. Mr. Parker, the contractor, said the plasterers had overloaded the center of the building, the Iron work was sound and well made. The bolts were sliced clean off where the iron work parted, showing that a heavy pull had been exerted downward. The manager of the electric company, whose men were working in the building, has written a warm letter, asserting that when John Smith, the wireman, was brought from the ruins the surgeons from rival hospitals., whom he terms "bloodthirsty butchers," fought for the body and almost upset the stretcher. But for this delay he thinks Smith's life might have been saved. He died on the way to the hospital. IlAX IXTO A WASHOUT. Details of the Continental Divide .AVrecW Evangelist Killed. ALBUQUERQUE, N.

For some time It has been hinted that the real reasons for the severing of relations between the professor and the university is the former's attack on capital.

I103IANTIC STORY OF THE MARRIAGE OF DR. DAVIS, OF MAIHOX. Hard Road to Matrimony Traveled by a Kentucky Couple Democratic Trustees Found-Short. Special to the' Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Aug. 8. Dr. Samuel H. Davis, . of Marlon, Ini., and Miss Minnie A. Scott, of this city, were granted a marriage license May 2S, in this city, and', the fact was. not made public until to-day, when it was learned that they were married last week in Indianapolis and are now living In 'Marlon. Dr. Davis is a wealthy widower of Marlon, and made iMiss Scott's acquaintance by mall cor respondence. Last spring he visited Miss Scott In this city, and their engagement was known to a number of friends. Dr. Davis had suffered from heart trouble for several years, and after securing his marHage license was advised by friends not to marry. He learned from County Clerk Sauer that the license could be used in any county in the State, and decided not to have the ceremony pertormed until he enjoyed better health. To-day it was learned that the ceremony was performed in Indianapolis, and the license, which hsd been kept from the records at the request of Dr. Davis, was placed on the books. Determined Lovers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Aug. . 8. Thomas Gritton and. Lizzie Brown, an eloping couple from Mercer county, Kentucky, arrived in this city at 1 o'clock this morning and were married by Justice Bosley at his residence at 2 o'clock.

Leaving home in the afternoon they drove to Salvisa, a distance of twenty-five miles, but missing the train there by two minutes, they were forced to drive to Harrodsburg, arriving .there In time to see the train pull out. In no way discouraged, they proceeded on to Lawrenceburg to meet the same fate there. Again they started on their way, and arriving in Shelbyvllle caught a tram which deposited them in Louisville at 10:3!) o'clock. Fearing to meet an irate parent, they hurried over to New Albany, awoke the county clerk, who refused to issue them- the license, as he did not think the young lady was of legal age.

Acconnts of Trustee Forney in Madi son County in Bad Shape. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 8. Adam Forney, trustee of Adams township, Is having more than his share of trouble in effecting a settlement with the County Commissioners, which body adjourned last night after approving all the reports except that of Trustee Forney. The latter submitted a report which disclosed an indebtedness of more than $2,000 by the township to the retiring official. There are court Judgments against the township for more than $7,000, caused by "the reckless expenditures of this Democratic official, and there are several thousand . dollars of outstanding warrants which were not reported by Mr. Forney. Forty of the . leading citizens and taxpayers of that township have signed a remonstrance which Is now in possession of the commissioners, against a settlement until hls official acts have been thoroughly investigated and-a complete report made, showing what the legitimate debt of the township is. A few years ago Forney was duped into the purchase o. nearly $2,000 worth of charts and manikins that were never used in the schools. He has been trustee for seven years, and In all that time a full settlement has never been made. The farmers are thoroughly aroused and a complete, investigation .will be made. Before .the. .board of commissioners adjourned Forney made a bold stroke by refusing to turn over the office to his successor, Liscom Titus, a Republican, unless the commissioners accepted his report. The commissioners, however, refused to do so, and Liscom is in charge of the office. Another Trustee Short. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . COLUMBUS, Ind , Aug. 8.-The new law requiring all trustees of school' funds to make and publish the first Monday in August, each year, statements of all receipts and disbursments for the previous year, has brought Charles Clark, trustee of. Jackson township 'this county, to repentance for the misuse of the trust funds In his hands. Clark was slow In coming to the'clty to make his report as the law requires. This caused a renewal of the report some days ago that his accounts were not in proper shape. -His bondsmen, who have suspected him for some months, called on him for an explanation and he confessed that he was short. The Information which followed shows the shortage to be $2,250. Clark has nothing to safr on the subject, but his friends believe that he used the funds to pay obligations contracted previously to his entering on the duties of his office, and that he has not now property to replace the shortage. He has a good bond and the township will in the end loose nothing, but the incoming trustee will be subjected to much annoyance. This is the second Democratic trustee who has been found short in his accounts in this county, the other being Daniel McClintle, who died suddenly and who Is "believed to have committed suicide, he being short $4,500. A SPIRIT DETECTIVE It Tells of the Murder of a Woman Who Wan Found Dead. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 8. A seance of more than ordinary interest was held at the Spiritualists camp ground at Chesterfield, last night, the result of which will be awaited by Spiritualists and unbelievers alike as a test of spirits to do what is claimed for them. Some days . ago Mr. Henry Seybold, a wealthy farmer, of Cass county, was at onee an interested attendant on the seances. " While his avowed purpose was that of m Investigating rplrltuallsm, it tow develops there was a deeper motive. At the seance last night Mr. Seybold was rewarded for his patience, and received a message from a sister that may be the means of bringing a murderer to Justice. Three years ago last Julv the widowed sister of Mr. Seybold was found dead on her farm, some little distance from the house. She had gone to a woods pasture to milk, and when she did not return a search re sulted in finding her lying in the woods with her head crushed, an arm and shoulaer broken, and her body badly bruised. Sho had been living on the farm with a hired man and a young girl for comnany. Her death was attributed to an attack of a vicious bull that was found In the woods. but her brother and other members of the family entertained suspicions of a different character, centering cn a former employe. It was known that the old lady had $1,600 in her possession, and that she had missed several ma!l sums while the man was in ner employ, but the suspicion did not 'war rant an arrest, although at the time of her death the money was not found, and could net be after the most persistent search. Finally the matter was dropped, and death by accident accepted reluctantly by the rel atlves. The seance of last night, however, puts a new phase on the matter, and Mr. Seybold has returned home, passing through here to-day. to institute an Investigation that may find the real murderer of h's sister. The spirit of his sister appeared to him in the seance and related to him the manner cf her death. Several other persons were present, and tho event has caused great commotion at the camp ground. The spirit insisted that she was attacked by three men and killed with an ax. and then de scribed where the ax had been burled. The scene wa3 quite realistic, and croans were audible to those in the room. The name of one of her assailants was given, but she refused to give the others, saying that they would confess wheji the one named was found. Mr. Sevbold has all faith in the revelations made to him last night, and is confident that he will find the ax as described, and will then begin the search for th man whoso name was e'ven. The Indiana Spiritualists Association took an important step to-day when It voted unanimously to Join tne national association, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. The Indiana association is the largest in the country, and will be greatly benefited

by the step. The camp will break on next

ITonday, after a session of six weeks. Mrs. A. H. Luther will deliver the farewell address cn Sunday afternoon. W. R. Colbey and Dr. Lockwood. the noted mediums and lecturers, will be present during the rest of the week. BABY HORSE THIEVES.

The case of the State against Willie Mella, aged seven, and Jessie Mella, aged three, charged with and found guilty of stealing the horse and buggy of Charles Maas, is attracting much attention, and is considered one of the most novel cases in the criminal procedure of the State, owing to the tender years of the boys. Willie and Jesse are brothers, their mother being a widow of this city, who has toiled from day to day to maintain her boys. Charles Maas. a farmer, drove into this city Tuesday morning and, hitching his horse, proceeded to transact some business. Shortly after leaving his horse and buggy the Mella brothers "appropriated" the rig, and made their escape towards Owensboro, Ky." Mr. Maas gave chase, and after a long drive captured them with the horse and buggy. They made an attempt to desert their stolen property and escape to tne woois, but Mr. Maas caught them and brought them back to this city and turned them over to Sheriff Nunn. An information charging grand larceny Was filed against them and tney were rouna guuiy. juage Stewart, In passing on the case, said that It was doubtful whether the case' was purely a case of larceny: that it lacked the criminal intent: that tne boys would have escaped with the usual amount of "spanking" had it not been, tjiat they have been guilty or many tnerts recently, and each time have stolen a horse. Only a short time ago they stole grocer Deweese's horse: also County Assessor Inco's horse. Some thief carried . away . gro cer Shaw's chickens, coop and all, a few nlzhts aeo. but It is not known whether the Mella brothers did it or not. Owing to their recent adventures the youthful Melias are being charged with most all the crime committed in this locality. The saw mill men are becoming alarmed. wiuie and Jesse Mella are exceptionally shrewd and cunning. On the trial of his case Jesse showed himself to be a shrewd young lawyer. He succeeded in handicapping the prosecuting attorney by enlisting the sympathies of the Judge. About the close of the trial he lay down on the floor of the court room near his mamma. and, bursting out into a big cry, said: "Mamma, I want to go home. I am tired. hungry and sleepy." This little speech of Jesse Mella was greater than any lawyer could make, and at this point It was plain that the case was bordering on an acquittal. The court finally permitted the mother to take the boys home, and further action will be suspended during tneir good behavior. CYCLE RACES AT FRANKLIX.

Will Resist Demand for OO-Cent Rate In This State. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Aug. 8. There was another meeting of bituminous operators last night to make more perfect the combination to resist the demand of the miners for the 60-cent rate. At the meeting the night before about 90 per cent, of the tonnage of the State was represented, and last night practically all the remainder was brought into line, including the operators from along the Vandalla main line and those about Grant. The State has been divided into districts, and each district is to sign its own contract with the miners. The first district is to include the Evansvllle field and the mines on the Ohio & Mississippi road. The second district is Greene county and some mines near the line of that county. The third district Is Sullivan county. The fourth is Vigo and Parke counties, and the fifth is Vermillion county, or what has been known as the Clinton district, where yesterday the men decided to go to work at 51 cents. It was. agreed at last night's meeting that the operators shculd no longer have any dealing with the United Mine Workers, but that in each district the men are to be dealt with through committees. It means a determined fight for the 51-cent rate until Oct. 1, and 60 cents when the new scale is made. It Indicates that the Indiana operators have not only cut loose from the miners' organization, but from the interstate agreement plan aa well. The settlement at Pittsburg was on an agreement to have the scale year begin Jan. 1. The Indiana operators say they have been keeping faith with all sides in the past few years, with the result that the State's output has not increased, but that, on' the contrary, Indiana coal his been shut out cf many markets, while the coal from other fields, mined at prices fixed by the operators, has taken Its place. Operators - Ultimatum. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL SHELBURN, Ind.. Aug. 8. The Star City mines have posted notices on all their property that unless the miners accept the 51cent scale there would be no work for them. The two mines here are running at their full capacity at the 60-cent basis. RORDED THE POSTMASTER. Held Up and Foreed to Hand Over About 500. Special to the Indianapolis. Journal. SHELBURN, Ind..
