MOUNTAIN'S TOP FELL.
Little Mining Town of Frank,
Alberta, Overwhelmed.
World's Fair Dedication Train Ran
Into a Crowd Battle In Church.
Emperor and King Visit the Pope.
Death of Bishop Hurst and Stuarl
Robson.
By an unexpected and unprecedent
ed disaster, for that part of the world,
the little mining town of Frank, Al
berta, has been plunged into mourning.
There are at least 85 dead and fun
ther details may Increase the numbet
of victims.
About 4 o'clock In the morning, aft
er the night shift was preparing tc
come from work, either an earthquake
or a volcanic eruption occurred on the
top of Turtle mountain, which over
looks the town of Frank.
There was a tremendous upheaval
which awoke all sleepers, many oi
whom believed that the end of the
world had come.
The entire side of the mountain was
removed by the disturbance and mil
lions of tons of rock scattered like
chaff over the town.
The nine buildings and mine en
trances were burled under a pile ol
debris hundreds of feet deep. Nine
houses In the village are burled undet
the rocks. Their roofs were crushed
In like egg shells and every one In
side the houses perished.
AH those working at the mine on
outside Jobs were instantly killed. It
Is supposed that 85 men were thus
killed, although the exact number Is
not known. The records of the office
and the payrolls are buried under the
Immense pile of broken rock.
Of the men who were at work Id
the -shaft, 17 In number, 15 worked
their way out and two were suffo
cated. World's Fair Dedication.
Probably the largest crowd that
ever listened to a president of the
United States, certainly the largest
that ever gathered beneath a roof tc
hear the words of any chief magis
trate, packed the huge Liberal Arts
building to attend the dedication ex
ercises of the Louisiana Purchase
World's fair at St. Louis.
Thirty thousand persons were In
sight, if not Bound, of the president
when he made his speech accepting
the half-completed structures In the
i-amo of tho government; 19 governors
of as many sovereign states, the gen
eral commanding the army, the gen
eral who manages the army, regiments
of regulars, regiments of citizen sol
diers, bands without nuni'ber, repre
sentatives of 29 foreign powers and
plain people to the number of a quar
ter of a million, attended the exerolses
as participants or witnesses.
The only living ex-president, Grovei
Cleveland,' the only American prince
of the church, Cardinal Gibbons
Bishops Potter and Hendricks, Presi
dent Francis of the Exposition com
pany and ex-Senator Carter, head ol
the government building, took part
with the president In the program ol
dedication.
Several governors were obliged to
stand or seat themselves on steps,
ledges or even on the floor; one of
the latter was Odell of New York
who, after standing until his legs
grew weak, plumped himself down In
front of Senator Hanna.
The weather, which turned bitter
cold over night, marred the pleasure
of the" parade for most of the people
who stood shivering, blue-faced and
wretched, while the bands and regl
ments went marching by.
Excursionists Killed by Train.
The Grand Trunk Pan-American
flyer from Chicago ran Into a crowd
of 1,000 people at the corner of Do-
quinder and Canfield streets, Detroit,
at 8:30 Sunday evening, killing at
least six persons and seriously Injuring
about 30 more.
The majority of the killed and
wounded are from Toledo. Fifteen hun
dred Poles frcm Toledo came up to
Detroit in the morning on a special
Lake Shore train to celebrate a holl
day.
Accompanied by hundreds of their
local friends, waiting for the train,
the excursionists jammed Canfield ave
nue some time before the train was
due, In readiness for It. When the
train was sighted the crowd pushed
across the track and onto the Grand
Trunk tracks, which adjoin those ol
the Lake Shore, just as the Grand
Trunk Pan-American flyer came-thund
er'ng from the West.
The people were thrown Into the
air and dashed to either side of the
track. Many of them were ground un
der tho whfols. The police depart
ment was no'.ified and all ambulances
In the city rushed to the scene. The
victims were scattered along the tracks
for a distance of two blocks.
No statement could be secured eith
er from the engineer cr fireman at
to the assertions of bystanders that
the whistle was not bldwn for the
crossing. 1
Pitched Battle In a Church.
A pitched battle in which prayei
bK ks an 1 broken furniture were usee
as missiles took place in the Slavonic
Ron-an Catholic church nt jLliet, 111.
Sunday, and when the police ar
rived to quell the disturbance the bel
liferents turned from oath other ami
united th'-ir f:i:ces agiinst the officers
The fi'ht, which grew out of eld
factional differences, resulted In nc
ecrious bodily harm to any of the 2,
COO men, women and children who
were In the church when It began,
but the panic among the affrighted
women and children was the cause ol
revere bruises.
Blocdy and lacerated faces and
hands were evidences of the fierce con
tests, and the effcrts of the priests,
Father Kollar and others, were unavail
ing to restore peace.
The men had been penned In by a
mob of angry women, who pelted the
stronger sex .with whatever they could
lay their hands on. The men who
could fled or jumped from the windows
and when the police arrived they re
turned to the assistance of the women
It was not until the police had drawn
their revolvers and threatened to use
them that peace was restored and ar
rests made.
King Edward Visits the Pope.
King Edisvard has visited the Vati
can. Starting from the British am
bassy he alighted at the court ol
St. Damas In the Vatican, where he
was received by Mgr. Bisletl, ma
ter of the chamber, accompanied by
the Vatican officials. The pontifical
guards rendered royal honors to th".
visitor. Mgr. Bisletl conducted
King Edward to the stairway, where
Mgr. Cagiano de Azevedo, the pope's
major domo, surrounded by prelates and
high dignitaries cf the Holy See,
greeted the British sovereign, who was
then conducted by the major
domo to the private apartments of the
pope. No one was present at the in
terview between the pontiff and the
British king.
Emperor Visits the Pope.
Emperor William of Germany was
received by the pope on Sunday. He
had a conference with the pontiff of
40 minutes duration and then returned
to the residence of the Prussian minis

Trade Conditions Satisfactory.
Weather conditions and labor dis
turbances, actual or threatened, have
been temporarily unsettling elements
In the trade and Industrial situation
this week, but great basic elements,
such as general business and crop con
ditions, remain largely favorable.
Cold weather and snow In the West
have checked farm work, Interfend
with retail distribution and retarded
reioiders. The exact opposite, how
ever, Is noted at the East, where the
weather has been spring-like and a
muich needed stimulus to retail distri
bution has thus been given.
All the usual measures cf trade vol
ume testify to the generally satisfac
tory conditions ruling.

Methodist Episcopal church died In
Washington at 12:40 o'clock Monday

when attending the ecumenical con
ference. The news of President Mc

cided that the special franchise tax
law Is constitutional, and has thus re

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Dr. McKee Details Ethel Dingle's Own
Story of Her Downfall.
Rochester, May 5. A great deal ol
sensational testimony was heard yes
terday aflerncon in the Kent case.
The most important .witness was Dr.
Thomas H. McKee of Buffalo, a prac
ticing physician and surgeon.
Dr. McKee told on the stand In the
presence of a crowded court room the
tragic story of Ethel Dingle's downfall
as related to the doctor by herself.
Dr. McKee was Interne at the River
side hosri'tal during Miss Dingle's
residence there.
Witness said Ethel was a bright
child and was apt in her studies. She
sometimes piepared patients for Dr.
McKee be'ore surgical operations. This
preparation required the use of the
razor. Miss Dingle, ho said, when he
first knew her was bright and viva
cious, almost like a child, impulsive
and affectionate, but a thoroughly
good girl. This was during the Pan
American year. Later she lost much
of this brightness and became despon
dent. Witness described an excursion
which he took with the nurses of the
hospital in August. He went to the
dock landing about 8:30 at night and
saw Ethel there standing by the
water's edge talking with a group ol
nurses. Jack McKay, Kent's friend,
was with them. Dr. Grant Joined the
groi;ip in about five minutes, but Ethel
would net Rpeak to him. Miss Dingl6
asked witness to take her home, say
ing she i:as afraid of Grant.
Witness said Grant was about two
thirds drunk, In a very ugly mocd.
Grant followed Ethel and expostu
lated, pleaded, and threatened to make
her go with him. Ethel said she
would not leturn to the hospital after
being made such an exhibition of and
went home to her sister's.
Witness told Ethel Dingle's story
as related to him by the girl the next
morning after the excursion and upon
her return to the hospital. She was
very bitter against Dr. Grant, who
she greatly feared would kill her. '
The story of the girl's downfall as
related by Dr. McKee laid all the
blame on Dr. Grant. She related how
ho, during the Pan-American exposi
tion, got intoxicated and took her to
a house where they spent the night
together. Afterwards he detained
her three days at Niagara Falls
through intimidation. She accused
Dr. Grant of slashing her with a pen
knife. She threatened at that time
to end all her misery. Witness ad
vised her to finish her studies and
then go out of town.

Rome, May 5. While tho Rev. C. H.
