THE PLATFORM CAVE WAY
Frightful Accident at the Laying of
a Corner Stone.
LIST OP KILLED ASD INJURED
Platform at loralno, Ohio. Containing
One Thousand people Gives Way
and Three Hundred Are Precipi
tated Into a Pit Uelow.
Loralne. Ohio, Oct. 6. A frightful ac
cident attended the laying of the cor
ner stone for the new St. -Mary's Cath
olic church In this city this morning.
Fully 5.0(H) people were gathered around
the foundation for the new structure,
and the priests were about to begin
the service when the platform, con
structed of boards, and running entire
ly across the area, on which were about
l.(HH) people, gave way, precipitating
300 of them into the excavation. A
panic ensued, which resulted In increas
ing the fatalities. The casualties are:
Killed.
Rosa McGee, 3 years old.

Mrs. O'Keefe, leg crushed, will have to bo
amputated.
Section That Gave Way.
The foundation for the building ex
tended about ten feet above the base
ment bottom, and on this was erected a
platform where the ceremonies were be
ing held. Over 1.000 persons, were
standing on the floor when a section of
it containing about 300 people sank be
neath 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 es
cape. The pit resembled an Inverted
roof of very steep slant, the ends be
ing closed up by stone walls and into
this were crowdeU men, women and
children, in one struggling heap.
As the floor gave way a great cry
went up from the multitude, but in
another second It had fallen and carried
In its ruin the lives of several persons.
Those at the top of the mass escaped
easily, but when the pit was partly
emptied those victims still entrapped
could not clamber up the steep sides,
and they trampled each other like so
many wild creatures, the strong getting
on top and the weak being crushed be
neath the great weight. Although 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 assistance finally reached the un
fortunate victims, several had already
been trampled to death and others fa
tally Injured.
Church Turned Into llnvpltnl.
The old Caitholic church near by wn.
turned Into an hospital and marpiie.
In'to this were carried the? who were
killed and Injured. Notwithstanding
the 'hock of the accident the priests
pucceeded In quint Imff the crowd and
continued their rrvlees. Vry Rev.
Mgr. Boff, of Cleveland, delivered the
sermon.
The contractors are raid to he re
sponsible for the accident, poor tim
bers being ud for the suoport of the
platform. The mayor arol other city
offlc'isls lent a helping hand in raring
for the Injured. The town tonight Is
In deep mourning over the accident.
OVERPOWERED A BANDIT.
A Stage Passenger Watches Ills Oppor
tunity and Tackles the Highwayman.
iPhoer.'ix, AvXz., Oct. 6. The stage
from Florence was held up by a Mexi
can horseman at the crossing .' Iry
Lake, eight miles west of Oasu Grand"
t'atlin on the Southern Pacific rail
road on Thursday afternoon. Through
the bravery of A. J. Doran, president
of the territorial legislative council, the
highwayman was put to flight without
stopping to secure his booty.
The robber stopptd the stage In a
lonely place. The only passenger was
Mir. Dwan, who pasred over some Pllv.r
while looking Into the mmzte of a re
volver. He was then commanded by
the roblx-r to cut open the mall sacks.
The robber spoke good English. He
grew rarelej" as he cursed his luck,
and was kicking around the ma'il mat
ter when Doran Jumped upon him,
grasping the pistol barrel Just as the
weapon Has discharged. The stage
driver atairted to Dore.n's assistance,
but the robber tore loose from Koran,
and mounting a horse rode away.
A sheriff's poese I on the trail. 'Four
hold-ups have occurred at the same
place.

THE SITUATION IN TURKEY
England Will Probably Let Up on the
Sublime I'urtc.
AKMEXlAXS AKE IS DISFAY0K
Tho lroof That Stories of the Kansoun
Uuteherics Were lireuily Exaeccrated
lias Caused the Powers to Kegard
Armeniuus with Uistrust.
Iondon. Oct. 6. With the growth of
distrust In Hie Armenian propaganda,
caused by the present knowledge that
the stories of the outrages ut Sassoun
und elsewhere were greatly exaggerat
ed for political purposes, the pressure
of strong party influence on the Salis
bury government in favor of modify
ing the demunds that have been made
on the Porte also increases, it is now
known that lord Kosobery threatened
the llirle that If the demands of the
powers were not accepted In a specltled
time two of tre chief Turkish ports,
presumably Smyrna and Salonica,
would be seized and the customs rev
enues sequestered.
Prime Minister Salisbury has from
the outset continued the policy of his
predecessor. The presence of a Itrltlsh
tleet at d.emnos Is explained as con
firming the Intention of the govern
ment to occupy Turkish ports If the
Porte should prove dellant, or should
unduly delay the settlement of the
question, but the appointment of Kla
mll Pasha as grand vizier, with other
indications that the Sultan desires to
satisfy the powers, has checked
British action.
Representations have been sent to
Lord Salisbury from many of his Con
servative adherents, advising blm to
follow the traditional Hrltls-ih policy of
support to Turkey. These representa
tions are likely to Induce Iord Sails
bury to relax the stringency of his de
mands. At any rate, Klamll Pasha will
have time to show his hand. Iurlng
the slv years that he was formerly
grand vizier, from September. 1SS5. to
September. 1S!1, he guUed the Porte
through a series of crises with the
greatest skill. He entered office ns a
supnosed friend of Russia, but he soon
developed a tendency In favor of the
Triple Alliance, especially Oermany,
filling the administrative posts when
ever he could with Oermans. and grant
ing concessions for public works to Ger
man capitalists.
A Triumph for Tnglnnd.
The English papers treat his recall to
power as a triumph for Knglnnd, ignor
ing the fact that Klamll Pasha showtd
no special bias toward England, and
that he opposed the continued occupa
tion of Fgypt by Great Britain. They
also find it convenient to forget that
he refused to admit the British demand
for the free passage of the Straits of
Dardanelles In the event of war with
Russia. He has always proved him
self to be keenly alive to the danger
of Rrltlsh encroachments.
The Sultar has called him to power
now, not as being biased toward any
power, bntas relyfnR uTTmTTils skill to
guide the country through the existing
and Impending storms. The Armenian
question Is not the only one that he
will have to deal with. There are other
matters that will require the greatest
political skill for their settlement. A
part of AraMn Is In revolt,, the Slav
committee In Sofia Is making prepara
tions to enter upon a regular rnmpalgn
In Macedonia, nnd the Island of Crete
is on the verge of nn Insurrection. It
will therefore be seen that It will re
quire a master hand to guide affairs so
that there shall be no dismemberment
of the empire.
Berlin. Oct. 5. Opinion In the foreign
ofllce Is favora'ble to the return of the
regime of Klamll Pasha In Turkey, and
the appointment or that (statesman ns
grand vlzler Is warmly approved. This
feeling Is based not only upon the
ground that Klamll was a close friend
to Oermnny during his last term as
grand vlzler. but also upon the belief
that his well-knrwn taot will bo suffici
ent to guide the existing negotiations
to a speedy nnd harmonious end. Tew
flk Pasha, the Turkish ambassador to
Oermnny, had a long conference wlttl
Freiherr Mnrschnll von Hlcberstein,
minister of foreign affairs, yesterday.
AVliough Oermany is noi.nng niooi
from the Armenian question as far ns

she Is not altogether passive in the
matter, having tendered her advice to
the I'orte whenever the occasion seemed
