World' 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 fur ther details may increase the numbei 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 ol 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 buried under a pile ol debris hundreds of feet deep. Nine houses In the village are burled under the rocksv Their roofs were crushed in like egg shells and every one in side the houses perished. All those working at the mine on outside Jobs were Instantly killed. It 13 supposed that 85 men were thus killed, although the exact number is not known. The records of the office and the payrolls are burled under the Immense pile of broken rock. Of the men who were at work In the shaft, 17 In number, 15 worked their way out and two were Buffo- cated. World's Fair Dedication. Probably the largest crowd that ever listened to a president of the United States, certainly the1 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 sound, of the president when he made his speech accepting the half-completed structures In the itamo of the 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 nunvber, repre sentatives of 29 foreign powers and plain people to the number of a quar ter of a million, attended the exercises as participants or witnesses. The only living ex-president, Orovei 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 oi 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 Rtanding 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 regi 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 De qulnder and Can field streets, Detroit, ut 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 holi day. Accompanied by hundreds of their local friends, waiting for the train, the excursionists Jammed Can field 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-thundering 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 the wheels. The police depart ment was no'.lfled and all ambulance: 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 ct fireman as to the assertions of bystanders that the whistle was not blown for the crossing. ' Pitched Battle In a Church. A pitched battle In which prayei bocks and broken furniture were usee as missiles took place in the Slavonic Reman Catholic church at Joliet. 111. Sun-day, and when the police ar rived to quell the disturbance the bel llgerents turned from each other and united th-ir fmces against the officers The fluht, which grew out of eld factional differences, resulted In nc serious bcdlly barm to any of the 2, COO men, women and children who were In the church when It fceigan, 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 unavall. 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 womjp It was not until the police haJTwn their revolvers and threatened to use them that peace was restored and ar rests made.

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, Interfered with retail distribution and retarded reorders. The exact opposite, how ever, is noted at the Bast, where the weather has been spring-like and a much 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.

A great deal oi sensutiinal testimony was heard yes terday afternoon in the Kent caso. The most Important witness was Dr. Thomas H. McKee of Buffalo, a prac ticing physician and surgeon. Br. 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 hosp'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 before surgical operations. This preparation required the use of the razor. Miss Dingle, ho said, whefn he first knew her was bright and viva- clous, 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 nurse3 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 of nurEes. Jack McKay, Kent's friend was with them. Dr. Grant Joined the group In about five minutes, but Ethel would net speak to him. Miss Dingle asked witness to take her home, say ing she iwias afraid of Grant. Witness said Grant was about two thirds drunk, in a very ugly mocd. Grant followed Ethel and expoitu lated. pleaded, and threatened to make her go with .him. Ethel said she would not return 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. 1 The story of the girl's downfall as related by Dr. McKee laid all the blame on Dr. Grant. She related how he, 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. Cross-Examlnatlon by District At torney Warren brought out no new evi dence. Bishop of Buffalo Not Yet Chosen. Rome, May 5.
