THE GRAND STAND FELL. One Child Killed and Nine Parsons Fatally iHurt at Oklahoma City. AT Oklahoma City, the festivities in honor of the nation's birthday were brought to a sadden and sad ending when the crowded grand stand fell, carrying down nearly one thousand persons and burying hundreds in the debris. When the victims had been taken out, it was learned that no one was deftd, though nine persons were perhaps fatally and many badly injured. The only death thus far is that of the 18-months-old child of Dr. J. A. Ryan, of Jimtown, wh o died a short time after the accident. The injured are: Mrs. Dr. Martingale, of Hove. Tex. ; Mrs. Mollie Campbell, of Pauls Valley, injured internally and will probably die ; Herbert Glover, aged 18, win also probably die; J. W. Mingus, Harrison, dangerously ; Charles Cottell, Pauls VaUey, fatally ; Tom Reynolds, Oklahoma, serious ; J. T. Vanzsndt, OklahoEia. serious ; C. Gordlin, Warner, Tex., serious ; Marshall McNeill, Oklahoma.; arm torn off. A detachment of troops under Captain Stiles was at once ordered to the scene, and rendered valuable service in preserving order and conducting the removal of victims with something like system. Over one hundred persons were injured, most of them being hurt in the back, caused by falling timbers. Great indignation is expressed at Contiactor Aubrey for the unsafe construction of the stand. He is considered largely responsible for the disaster, as he was warned by his workmen that the stand was not securely braced. He paid no attention to the warnings, and told the men to mind their own business CIRCLING THE BASES.

WESTERN HAPPENINGS.
At Durango, Col., fira broke out in a
frame building on one af the principal streets, and owing to dry weather and a brisk wind spread with wonderful rapidity. T tie tire department turned out and fought the flames heroically, but their efi orts for several hours produced little etfjet, and it was several hours before the fire was quenched. Eight business blocks, which includes all of the principal business portion of the city, were burned, together with three churches and several fine residences. The best estimates obtainable place the loss at $300,000, but it may reach a higher figure. Aliii the business portion of Hailey, Alturas County, Idaho, was destroyed by fire, except the Frieden Block, and that is a fire-proof bouse. There is left but one hotel, two livery etablss, one lumberyard, and one dry-goods Btore. The fire did not reach the residence portion of the town, and so no sufferir.g exists. The loss is $500,000, with liht insurance. The owners will rebuild without delay.
SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. The east-bound express on the Norfolk & Western railroad, when near Thaxton's station, about thirty miles from Lynchburg, VaM ran into o washout and was completely wrecked.

FRESH" AN D NEWSY. President Harrison has issued an order prohibiting the 6ale of liquor on the camp grounds of the District National Guards, The weekly weather crop bulletin issued by the Signal Office says: The weather has been favorable for all growing crops throughout the central valleys and Northwest, xcept in Dakota, where drought nas caused some injury to wheat, oats, and barlev, but corn U reported fine and growing rapidly in this State and generally throughout the corn belt. From Minnesota reports show that the crops are improved, but more rain 1b needed iu the Red River Valley country. Roports from Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, and Arkansas show the conditions for the week especially fayorable for corn, which has made rapid grewth. Harvesting is iu progress as far north as the fortieth parallel in the central valleys. Thrashing is in progress in Tenrieaaee, and the damage to wheat from excessive rains has been overestimated. Reports from the tobacco regions of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina show that the crop is doing well. Favorable rains occurred over the cotton region. In Alabama, Northern Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina the cotton crop is improved by seasonable weather and well distributed rains. In Mississippi the crop was not injuriously affected. Iu Southern Louisiana the rice" and sugar crops are improved by abundant rains, but a week's dry weather would still further improve the crops. In the Middle Atlantic States, New England aud Ohio some injury resulted from continuous rains and the absence of sunshine, although the crop prospect a continue good in theae flections. Reports from Southern Now England f how all crops, including tobacco, unproved and in hue condition. R. G. Dux & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: It has been a week of considerable excitement in speculative circles and of heavy general trade without material change in conditions. As all depends in a large measure at this season upon crop proapects. it is most encouraging to find the reports in this particular unusuaUy favorable, the only noteworthy exception being that some damage to coiton and grain from frequent rains is reported at Galveston. In the Northwest the grain outlook is particularly fine, great improvement being reported in quarters where there had been some apprehension. With crops of unusual magnitude highly probable, and with the general volume of business so maintained thau an increase of 30 per cent, over last year appears in the clearing-house returns, the' prospect is not gloomy Detroit notes quiet bunlness and Kansas Citv and Omaha report fair activity.
At Milwaukee improvement is seen, with
greater activity, and at Cleveland Pittsburg the iron and other trades tinue to mend. Collections are fitill at Milwaukee, but at Detroit there
visible improvement. The money markets continue amply supplied. In the iron business there is a stronger feeling at all points, with quotable improvement in mill iron. The money market has stiffened to some extent here, as is natural after the heavy exports of gold. There is nowhere observable any actual stringency, nor isapprchension noticeably influential.

CROtflX GRAND JTJRY! THE NATIONAL GAME.
SEVEN INIIICTMKNTS PRESKNTISO AGAINST CONSPIRATORS.
TUB TEAMS EST THE LEAGUE PENNANT RACE.
The Names of Couphlhi, Burke, Cooiesy, O'Sullivan, l)eggg, Woodruff, and .John Kunze Included No Presentment Heturned by the Inquisitors Against Alexander Sallivan. A Chicago dispatch of the 1st suys: The special grand jury in the Cronin murder case has found indictments against seven men, four of whefm are now locked up in the county jail to await trial for the murder of Dr. P. H. Cronin. The men indicted are: John F. Begrgs, senior guardian of the famous camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gaei, who is believed to know something of tho organizing of the tno"k tribunal which condemned Cronin to death. Dan ( 'oughiiu, the ex-city detective, who is supposed to have found the active men for the work and to have been gener;U direc tor of the conspiracy. Martin Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner, who is believed to be one of the men in tlM cottage at the time of the murder. Patrick Cooney, the "Fox," who was Burke's "pal." He is now a fugitive. P. O'Sullivan, the Lake View iemnn, whose contract with Cronin made it easy for the other conspirators to lure the doctor to death. Frank Woodruff, alian Black, who confessed that he had carried the butchered body to its catch-basin tomb. John Kunze, a young German. His 1 a 1 . . 1 -m
name nau not ueen mentioned in connection with the case until the indictment against him was returned before Judge Shepherd. Kunze was a henchman of Dan CougtiIln's and accompanied the detective to Peoria when the visit was made to Ei Spellman. He is brought into criminal connection with the murder through his relations with Coughlin, against whom some new and startling evidence was adduced jnst previous to the adjournment of the grand jury, when it was gleaned that Coughlin had entered the Carlson cottage on the night of May 4 at juit about the time the murder was done. Re wa3 driven to the place by Kunze, whose picture has been identified fully by Milkman Mertes. The same picture was also identified as that of a man who had been seen firound the rooms at 117 Clark street when the flat at that number was occupied by the furniture afterward found in the Carlson cottage. Kunze bad been in trouble before he became acquainted with Coughlin, and the delicti vo protected him and. made him a rtsady tool in his murderous schemes. There was considerable surprise expressed over the failure of the grand jury to include the nctmeof Alexander Sullivan in the list of indictments, but despite the most earnest efforts the jurors were uuable to secure any evidence of a nature that would justify the return of a true bill. What was heard was damning in implication, and some of the jurors were anxious to base an indictment on it. 3tate's Attorney Longenecker claimed not to feel disconcerted oyer the escape of Sullivan. There was time to take np hia case yet, he said. At the same time he admitted that it would hardly be possible to show that the lawyer was a party to the conspiracy unlets there should como a 'squeal. ' - A N0THERJV1 YSTER Y. Br. John Mclneirny Said to Have Boon Lured West and Murdered. New York, July L Dr. John McInerny, one of the four men who are alleged to have been doomed to death by the inner circle of tho Clan-na-Gael, is mismg. Hib friends claim that he was killed before Cronin was. Shortly before he was last seen in the middle of April, he received at the Catholic Protector a telegram from Omaha offering him a good position if he would come there immediately to take it. It is assumed that he started for Omaha in time to have arrive i m Chicago en route on April 81. His friends in New York have written to Omaha to inquire about the telegram and the alleged position awaiting him, and have received replies th at cf ter d ili gent in qu iry no one could be found who was interested in Mclnerny's going to Omaha, nor had ho been seen there. John Devoy, who was Mclnerny's associate in the Irish Nation, believes Mclnerny was lured to bis death by the telegram. All agree that there is just as good ground for believing that Mclnerny was assassinated as for the assertion that Cronin was slain by the inner circle of the Clan-na-Gael, which had doomed Cronin, Mclnerny, Devoy and Dr. McCabey, of Philadelphia, to death. Tlwre is evidence to show that traps were laid for ;McCahey, just like those that at firpt failed with Cronin. Devoy has been openly threatened, rnd men have watched his movements, not knowing that their movements were also watched. Since Mclnerny disappeared from this
city on April 6 a letter has awaited him at his address here in which a young married woman seems to hint at an intrigue with the missing man. His friends here believe that he was murdered in the Carlson cottage before Cronin, aud that the arrangements made for tha disposal of the latter's body, but interrupted, were carried out in Mclnerny's case. Dr. Mclnerny was the most secret and most trusted agent of tue Irish revolutionary organizations on both sides of the Atlantic. Mclnerny was the go-between for the triangle composed of Alexander Sullivan, Michael Boland and D. C. Feely of the Clan-na-Gael here, and the extremists of the Irish Revolutionary Brotiaerhood in Ireland. He was the man of all others who had the key to many a secret transaction; who was in full possession of tha underhand workings of the Clan-na-OaeL And more than all, it was he who, as general agent, knew just how much money each man sent across to the other bide received from the triangle in America. When Mclnerny began to compare notes with emissaries who had returned from England and Ireland he found that there was a screw loose in the financial department, and then, having found this out, he despised the executive and made no secret of the fact that somebody was dishonest. Here then is a sufficient couse for believing that Mclnery has been murdered.
Bofiton Falling: Uown Philadelphia Pittsburg, and Washington Playing: Poor Ball New York Phi ring: a Strong: Game, and Chlcagro and Indiunapollg 1) lacing Uju SPECIAL OOBBESPONDENCE. The pennant race between the teams of the National League becomes more interesting as the half-mile poet in the run is n eared. Boston has ret with a sore Bet-back upon the present Western trip, while New York and Chieag o have begun to pick up ana piay the ball of which they are capable. New York is in hard luck with Kee'c absent, Crane and Ward disabled, and Welch sick; but it continues to win jrwt the, same. The Clovelands are still plnying excellent ball, aud seem to be in as strong form as at any time. Philadelphia for some reason is slowing down in speed, aad unless it braces up pretty quickly will be well down in the list of competitors. The Phillies Htarted in this roar confident of winning the flag, and in looking back over their record it will be seen that they had good grounds upon which to base strong hopes of success. In. J 887 the Phillies lanied a good second, and had the season lasted two months longer they would undoubtedly have finished ahead of Detroit. Last year they Lad calculated on winning, but i:he death of Ferguson, and the accidental to Fogarty, Mulvoy and Bastian again interfeed with their plans. Despite thase drawbacks, however, they finished a good third. This year the management had a right to look for the pennant. They (strengthened center field by putting Fogarty there in place of Andrews, and addtd great batting strength to the team by placing Thompson in right field. They strengthened second base and added a good batter to 'the team when they got Delehanty, who is not only better than Bastian but us good a base runner as there is in the league. Thus it will be seen that the field was rigged up for a pennant-winning team. Then came isne batteries. Buffintcn, Sanders and C&sey were regarded as tiaree of the best pitchers in the league, and to this department was added Gleason and Pete Wood, two fine youngsters. In Clements, Schriver, Hallman andDeckei everybody thought the club had a quartette of catchers that could not be equaled by any other club in the league. The advance of the seasou. however, has seen not a few chaugos. Irwin was released o:a account of a u misunderstanding" with President Reach, Delehanty was injured and laid np for six weeks, and Bufiinton turns out to be about the only pitcher the club has got. How or where the Quakerit es may finish is a question. Pittsburgh and Washington are playing poor ball, but Indianapolis, during the past fortnight, has braced up wonderfully, taking four straight from Washington, and three out of four from Boston, all within ten days' time. The League stall: of umpires is going to got a shaking up at an early day, and two of the present staf will walk the plank. It is not a difficult matter to guess who they are, forBamnm and Fessenden have hardly given satisfaction in any of the League cities. They no doubt mean well, but they do not appear to be gifted with the qualities that go to make up successful umpires. Barnum is gentlemanly ar d goes about his work with great care and trieii to do what is right, but he is of a nervous temperament, "and lacks judgment at critical points. Fessenden has weaknesses which are apparent to every one who has watched his work; hence he will have to go. President Young would ha e been pleased to have kept his staft' of umpires intact throughout the season, but there was a general complaint against Baruuin and Feestmden that could not be ignored. Wesloy Curry will be promoted to be a regular, and Phil Powers, of the International Association, formerly an old league player and afterward an umpire, will be appointed to fill the vacancy, Mr. Young has over fifty applications for the position of substitute, but has not deciced whom he will select.

Queer Questions. Centuries ago Samson propose! riddle the earliest of which history treats to the Philistines, allowing them a week in which ta answer it, ft length of time that would have been insufficient but tor the assistance of Samson's wife. Eiram, King of Tyre, badamanift for constructing riddles, as also iiiad Bolomon, and the wager of an immense sum of money between the two as to which could construct the most perplexing qd& was won by the matter. Archimedes, the famous mathematician of Syracuse ,i passed most of JJhi leisure to the surprise of many ofl his. friends in the production or solving of puzzles, and his discovery of how much, alloy its maker had mixed with the gold iu King Hero's crown was nothing bnfe the solution of a pusszle. The Greeks had a curious puzzle. "If Achilles, racing with a turtle,, given the reptile 100 yards' start and runs ten yards while the turtle runs oner when will he overtake it?" Theoretically, never; as a matter of fact, he must in the course of time. A very perplexing question, one well calculated to catch the wise as well as the unwary, was that proposed to theKoman Senate: "Why does a pail of water, with a fish, swimniiug in it, weigh no more than the same pail of water without the Ash? It called forth much discussion from, the members of that august body; who explained the singular circumstance in. different ways to their entire satMac-v tion, but found, by experiment, that thepail of water did we fob more when.
there was a live fish in it. A precisely similar story is related in connection with the lioyal Society of London. Iu this case one of the Georges, when Prince of Wales, proposed the puzzling question: An excellent, if an old, puzzle is: How can a window, having a height equal, to its width, be made twice a large without increasing its height or width? Impossible? Oh, not In the first instance it is shaped like a diamond, then it is char ged to a square. Bachet, a French writer, furnishes the following : Half of a s-hip's crew, consisting of thirty persons Christians and Turks in equal numbers were to be thrown overboard during a gale. They consented to being placed in a row and every ninth person should be sacrificed, counting from the first in the row, round and round again. It was desired to so place them that no Christian should b a victim, aud the result was obtained by arranging them thus: 4 C.,5 T.,2 C.,1 T.,3 C.,1 T.,1 C.,2 T. 2 C, 3 T., 1 C, 2 T., 2 C., 1 T. ireur York World. A Novell Religious Custom All over Siberia, writes George Keunan, it is the custom of the natives when they cross the top of a high hill or mountain to make a propriatory offering to the spirits of storm and tempest. In the extreme northeastern part of Siberia these offerings consist generally of tobacco and are thrown out on the ground in front of some prominent and noticeable rock ; but in the Trans Baikal the Buriats and Mongols are accustomed to pile a heap of stones beside the road, erect thereon half a dozen rods or poles and suspend from the lat ter small pieces of their clothing. Every pious traveler who passes a shrine of tliis scrt on the summit of a mountain is expected to alight from his vehicle or dismount from his horse, tear off a little piece of his kaftan or his shirt, hang itup on one of these poles and say prayer. As a result of this ceremonial,, every shrine presents to the traveler a. sort ol; tailor's collection of scraps and remnants of cloth of every conceivable kind, quality, and color, fluttering b the wind from slender poles that look like hastily improved fishing rods. Theoretically this custom, would seem
The bond of society is obedience to law, and the obligation of all law, human or divine, rets on the doctrine of responsibility. Abd-el-Kader makes the profound Temark, redolent of. polygamy and the idivorce court, that we can have many wives, but only one mother. We all have forefathers, however. Base-bail is achieving success in a new direction. It is represented in the Paiis Salon by a statue of a young athlete in the act of throwing a ball. The sculptor is an American.

ing of his friends he could always tell by a simple inspection of one of these shrine? who had lately passed that way, and, if necessary, he could trace any particular person from hilltop to hilltop by the stripes of his shirt or the frayed edges of his trousers left hanging on the stone-ballasted fishing rods as an offering to the mighty gods of the Siberia tempests. In practice, however, this might not be feasible, unless one could remember all the old clothes of the person whom one wished to trace, and all the ancestral rags and tatters of that person's family. From a careful examination that we made of a number of shrines we became convinced that every pioua Burnt keeps a religious ragbag, which he carries with him when he travels, and to which he has recourse whenever it becomes necessary to decorate the sacred fishing poles 01 the storm gods.. I am sure that such miserable, decayed scraps and tatters of raiment as we saw fluttering in the wiad over the shrines between Selenginek aud Kiakhta neyer could have been cut or torn from any garments that were actually in wear. . Delicately Put. What makes you so thoughtful tonight, George?" said Nellie. "Well," said George, as he 'threw his eyes up to the ceiling and took a fresh hold upon hr slender waist, "I waa thinking that if your mother was willing to become my mother-in-law I would like it very much.' " You would?" WI would indeed." Then if it will afford you any satisfaction I can inforri you that I am quite willing that she should and that she i also quite willing to act in that capacity in a quiet and unostentatious manner,9 And thus under the silent stars the arrangements were concluded by which two lives hitherto running apart are to be bletided into one, and a youth hitherto his own master is to stoop under the

where the team !uae been playing
was compelled to leave tho polo grounds have been given up, and a pece of property secured on Manhattan Islaud, which it in hoped will be ready for the team when thev return to New York, July 8, for their next home season. The now park will extend 410 feet on One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street and will imve a front line of 310 feet on Eighth avenue. Its shape will be a segment of a circle with straight sides not unlike a horseshoe, but broader. The average depth will be fifty feet on the main lloor and thirty-one feet on the balcony. It will seat 5,500 people, which, with the bleacheries, will afford accommodations for 15,000 people. It will be built in framed trusses, so that it can be taken apart and put up elsewhere if necessary. President Day thinks that when finished the new -polo grounds will be the best ball park in the country. It is easier of access than the old grounds, the entrance being within a few yards of the titeps of the elevated railroad. Of course it is further up town, but the difference in time was used up by the ten-minute wajk necessary to reach the old polo grounds, which is now avoided. SMAXIi TALK. Pitcher George was released by New York last week and will no doubt sign with the Columbus. He is in good trim and would make a good mnn for them. There is a general disposition on the part of all clubfi to insist that umpires shall not do their work behind the pitchers. They miss sharp hits uear the foul lines and batsmen declare that they interfere with theirsightof tho ball. The betting here against the Giants taking the pennant has been 25 to 1, Now the odds are 5 to 1, and not many takers at that. George & hoch has accepted the terms of the Milwaukee Club and has Hone West to join the team at Omaha. He states that he had several offers from Eastern clubs, but he preferred to join the Western League. He will probably be heard from somewhere nea t' the top of the Western League general players.
