Without Warning Four Detroit
Business Houses Fell.
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT UNKNOWN
Buildings Fell Into Heap Without Ap
parent Cause, With Noise Like Dis
tant Thunder —There Are Evidences
of An Explosion.
Detroit, Jan. 20. — Four buildingß,
*ach four stories high, located in the
lieart of the wholesale district of this
city, collapsed at 8.30 o'clock last
night, without any apparent cause,
and all that now remains is a smould
ering heap of ruins. The buildings
were a part of the block bounded by
Jefferson avenue and Shelby and Gris
wold streets, and were occupied by
five concerns, and their stocks are a
total loss, which is estimated at $152,-
500, exclusive of the loss on the
buildings, which amounts to $50,500.
The buildings were occupied by the
following firms: Maddock Glove com
pany, Imperial Hat company, F. B.
Noufoff & Co., stock brokers; Michi
gan Produce company and Crusoe
Brothers, groceries.
No one seemed to know what caused
the collapse of the buildings. On
Sunday night that district is practi
cally deserted, and the few who were
in the vicinity say that the buildings
seemed to fall into a heap without
apparent cause, making a noise like
the rumbling of distant thunder. There
are evidences of an explosion about
the ruins, but no one heard a sound
of such an explosion. The walls of
the rear part of the Maddocks Glove
company's building are still standing
to the height of two stories, but the
roof of this part of the building lies
turned bottom side upward In the
middle of Shelby street, and a large
iion smokestack lies on the sidewalk
on the opposite side of the street,
mashed against the buildings there as
11' driven by force.
Experts from the Detroit Gas com
pany's office made an examination of
the ruins, but said they were unable
to find evidences of a gas explosion.
it was fortunate that the wreck oc
curred on Sunday night. Had it hap
pened during business hours, the loss
of life would have been appalling,
as thare were approximately 200 per
sons employed by the varoius firms.
They would have been caught in a
veritable death trap and crushed and
burned before they could have been
rescued. The buildings collapsed into
a heap, and in a short of time
the inflammable material caught flre
from the furnaces used for heating the
buildings. There were no watchmen
about the premises, consequently
there was no loss of life. No one was
injured, nor is there any one who can
give a definite reason for the catas
trophe.
EXTENSIVE PRAIRIE FIRES
Many Miles of Territory Have Been
Swept By Flames.
Butte, Mont., Jan. 20.—A special
from Great Falls says that extensive
prairie fires are reported on the other
side of the international boundary,
extending for a distance of from ten
miles to twenty miles west of Sweet
Grass hills. Practically the entire dis
tance has been swept by the flames.
Many hundred tons of hay have al
ready been destroyed. The Are ox
tended to the valuable sheep ranches
in the Sweet Grass hills, and owners
of flocks in that vicinity are con
fronted by the serious necessity of se
curing new winter ranges.
Big Diamond Robbery.
St. Paul. Minn., Jan. 20. —A special
from Glendive, Mont., says: Robbers
secured between SIO,OOO and $20,000
worth of unset and set diamonds yes
terday by stealing two trunks from
the baggage room of the Northern
Pacific station and breaking them
open. Nothing is missing from the
trunks except a bag of unset dia
monds and three or four hundred
rings mounted in gold settings. A
tray containing 24 set diamonds was
overlooked by the robbers. The trunks
were the property of C. B. Clausen,
traveling representative of S. H.
Clausen & Co., of Minneapolis.
Wilkesbarre Forgers Busy.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 20. —Five
forged checks, drawn in the name of
Davis Brothers, a well-known busi
ness firm of this city, have just come
to light. Four of the checks, drawn
in favor of A. Lee, and each for S2OO,
were sent to C. B. Rouse, a New York
merchant. The other check, for SIOO,
was drawn in favor of M. H. Wilson,
and was sent to John Wanamaker,
of Philadelphia, to pay for an order
of goods. The goods were sent to

be found.

amounting to $1,000,000, has been re

.... ! s a ' a F.und Death
In Icy Waters.
York, Pa., jan. 20.—Three persons 1
were drowned while skating Saturday
afternoon. At Louck's dam, a mile or
two north of York, Wilson Thomas,
about 14 years old, met his death,
while the other accident occurred at
the Grantley street bridge, at the
southwest part of the city. Here two
young women, Miss Anna Klaiber,
daughter of Philip Klaiber, and Mrs.
Philip Helm, a three months' bride,
found death In the icy waters.
The ladies, in company with How
ard Haas, were enjoying skating hand
in-hand, when they reached ice that
had been worn thin. It suddenly
broke and all threfe fell into the
water. Haas made a heroic effort to
save the ladies, and for a while strug
gled against fearful odds, but was
obliged to let goof them one after
another, when they sank out of sight
Others were attracted to the spot,
and they did all they could. Among
the latter was Arthur Klaiber, brother
of one of the drowned women. He se
cured a pole and thrust It toward
Haas, telling him to take hold, but
he refused, saying: "No, no; save the
girls." The ice also broke under some
of the would-be rescuers, and three
of them had narrow escapes.
Young Thomas had attempted to
skate across the creek at Louck's
dam, when he suddenly broke through
and went to the bottom. Charles Cus- ,
ter, another boy, attempted to save
him, but broke in also. The sight of
the two boys struggling in the water
unnerved the spectators for a while,
and in the meanwhile Thomas sank
for the last time.
SMALLPOX CAUSES RIOT
Italians Attack Police While Attempt
ing to Bury a Victim.
Easton, Pa., Jan. 20—A serious riot,
following an attempt upon the part of
the board of health to bury the body
of an Italian woman who died of ma
lignant small-pox, occurred at Bangor
yesterday afternoon. Four hundred
Italians attacked the police and prob
ably fatally injured Peter Ross and
prevented the interment. The wom
an's corpse is now in the Catholic
church, closely guarded. The sheriff
will send a posße to Bangor to dis
perse the mob. Two men who were in
the house where the death occurred
escaped before they could be quaran
tined, and one of them started for
Bethlehem on a trolley ear. The other
was arrested. A child of the woman
who died is also ill with the disease.
TESTED NEW GUN SHIELDS
Were Fired On By Three-Inch Guns
Without Effect.
Bethlehem, Pa., Jan. 18.—The Beth- j
lehem Steel company's new gun shields
were tested yesterday at the proving
grounds, near here, in the presence I
of General Miles and officers of the |
bureau of ordinance and fortifications
of the war department. The shields ;
were subjected to severe tests and
scored a splendid success. There were
two shields of Kruppized armor, three
inches thick, and they were fired on by
three-inch guns half a dozen times
without effect. A five-inch gun, how- j
ever, sent a 50-pound projectile clear
through one. General Miles expressed
the hope that the government will
adopt the new shields.
Athletic Association Will Issue Bonds
Philadelphia, Jan. 18.—At the regu
lar meeting of the Athletic Assoeta- j

will run for 30 years and bear 5 per
cent, interest. The bond issue has al
ready been over-subscribed by $125,-
000 by friends of the university.
King Alexander Willing to Abdicate.
Vienna, Jan. 20. —The Belgrade
| correspondent of the Neue Freie
Presse declares the question of suc
cession to the throne of Servla to be
1 ripe for solution, as King Alexander,
if guaranteed a sufficient pension, is
willing to abdicate in favor of Prince
Karageorgevitch, a descendant from
Gara George, the Black George of the
Servians, and claimant to the throne
of Servia. In any case Prince Alexis
Karageorgevitch is likely to be pro
claimed heir to the throne, as neither
Russia nor Austria object to this
course.

Neuralgia.
The Prayer of a Nerve for
More Blocd.
Neuralgia may attack any part of the body
but most frequently occurs where the nerves
are most abundant.
In the head,
In the face.
Sometimes the heart nerves seem to twist
Twinging rheumatic pains of the extremi
ties
I Sharp and intense at times
In the intervals dull and heavy.
Neuralgia is the result of impoverished
blood caused by impairment of the nerves—
a lack of nerve force.
It is a disease of the nerve centers, and
the pains accompanying it are a prayer for
better nourishment. They are the danger
signals which warn you against a total col
lapse of the nervous system.
Liniments and all external applications
can only give temporary relief. Permanent
cure cannot possibly come until the nerve
centers are thorougly revitalized and reinvig
orated by Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Tills.
The beneficial effects of this great nerve re
storative are felt thrilling through the nerve
fibres as week by week and month by month
| the nerve force of the body Is restored.
Women afflicted with diseases peculiar to
their sex are frequently great sufferers from
neuralgia. I)r. Chase's Nerve Pills positively
cures both these disorders by filling the
nervous system with new vigor and life. 50
