Tucnty-oiglit Hurled Under Debris and Badly Injured. In Philadelphia, Thursday, im mediately after lunch hour, while hundred of pedestrians were hurry ing back to their work, the live story building at the northwest cor ner of Eleventh and Market streets collapsed, carrying eight persons to their denth and burying 2S others. All tho dead were men who had been working on the structure which was In course of repair. Among tho Injured who wore taken to hospitals were a num ber who had been caught under neath the avalanche of bricks. Three of them were women, whose ilrst realization of danger came when the tons of weight fell clat tering about and upon them. There were perhaps a score of persons who kore struck by pieces of Hying debris, who were treated on tho spot and whose names wero not re corded. There were various reports as to tho cause of the accident. The one which seemed most generally ac ccpted was that the collapse was caused by the swinging of a heavy iron beam against tho uppor stories of the building. For several weeks the building has been undergoing repairs to be put in preparation for the United Gas Improvement company, which intended to use it for show rooms. Three upper stories wero supported by wooden timbers until tho iron should be put In place. It was in raising one of tho huge beams which were to take tho weight of the structure from tho wooden supports, it is understood that the mishap was caused. The beam swung around against one of the timbers knock ing its lower end from its founda tion. Those timbers resting upon it and supporting the floor above sagged downward, but for a minute held fast. Then there came the sound of rending wood, of snapping of I boards, of tumbling bricks and an 1 instant afterward the mighty crash. One of Wayne County's IScst Onirics. "AHoona Farm," which Is owned 1 and operated by Mr. W. H. Marshall, J in rseiiin, near Indian Orchard, has i with its dairy of fourteen cows, made a remarkable record. In June last, 1 his herd and entire dairy appurten ances wero inspected by P. Ii. Hol ford, a graduate of Cornell Univer sity and veterinary employed by the , Borden Condensed Milk Co. His re port was ten, the highest mark in , regard to health and cleanliness, ' and five, tho highest mark as to good condition of llesh. He also secured the highest mark concerning clean liness and ventilation of stables, area of windows, cement lloors and daily haul of manure on fields. Tho water supply and milk house and utensils also received highest mark. The house is entirely separate from other buildings, lias cement floor and necessary light and ventilation. Palls and strainers, and the proper tare of cans were also marked per fect. The total score was 100, the ; highest that could be attained. This, we are Informed by Mr. Holden, is the best record obtained by a patron of the Honesdale sta tion, and is the fifth that has been I given at this station since he has been with Borden & Co. Having met all the requirements of this company. It proves that Mr. Marshall has a model dairy. Mr. Marshall tells us that the modern system, which he uses, has saved him at least 25 per cent, in feed and fertilizer. Tight floors prevented loss of ma nure, and careful feeding stopped loss of feed. Mr. Marshall Is to be compliment ed upon his excellent record. Tried to Wreck Jlonesdule Trains, On Friday afternoon two attempts were made to wreck Erie trains on the Honesdale branch. On was at Glen Eyre, when a freight engine dug up a tie and ground It beneath the wheels, but which fortunately did not cause derailment. Later in the day the passenger train due here at 8 p. m., struck a pile of ties in Greystone cut, near Klmbles, but not much damage was occasioned, as the engineer saw the obstruction in time to almost stop before the ties were struck. Those would-be train wreckers will doubt less soon be in custody. Petrol "Butter." Unless the new petrol butter, the latest product of the Standard Oil company, is made exclusively from unadulterated milk, It will come un der the oleomargarine head and can not be sold in this state as butter. It can only be sold under license, issued In conformity to the oleo act. At present the ingredients of the new "butter" are not known to the dairy and food division, but it is probable that an analysts will be made of the new substance as soon as It Is offered for sale In Pennsylvania. A Fornlor Honesdale Couple Di vorced in California. The World, of San Bernadla, Cal., of a recent date, has the following concerning a couple who formerly resided in this place: William H. Bates, the West High lands orange grower, was tho hap piest man in town last evening, for he had been granted an interlocu tory decreo of dvorco from Mrs. An gle L. Bates. Mrs. Bates was not so joyful, for she had not only lost her defense nnd cross-complaint, but she is In serious likelihood of prosecution on the charge of per jury, Judge Bledsoe announcing from the bench that her testimony was the most llngrant example he had ever witnessed. lie went di rectly to the district attorney's of fice and reported the matter, and that official will at once begin an investigation that will probably lead to a warrant for Mrs. Bates' arrest. It was nonr the close of the case when Mrs. Bates was recalled to the stand by Judge Bledsoe. She had denied that she had written a letter to her husband at Forest City, Pa., refusing to accept his Invitation to return to live with him. The letter was Introduced In evidence and the witness denied authorship. A let ter written previously by Mrs. Bates was Introduced nnd a handwriting expert was called. He declared that tho letters were written by the same person. Judge Bladsoe reminded the wit ness that she was under oath, but she stuck to her denial, and then the judge accused her of perjury. Bridegroom Shot nnd Robbed Wed ding Postponed. Henry Brettler, of Lattlmer, was assaulted and robbed on his way to McAdoo, Thursday afternoon to wed Miss Susan Davis. The marriage had to bo postponed till he recovers. His wounds consist of a laceration of the scalp from a revolver bullet, and several hard bruises from fall ing from his bicycle after the shot struck him. In the afternoon he rode to Hazle ton on his wheel to draw some money from the bank to prepare for the glad event. He took out seventy-five dollars, went around to a jewelry store and bought the ring, and after some further purchases of shirts and shoes, was on his return, Intending to go direct to her home. Along the Beaver road, that part which runs through a woods, he was fired upon from ambush. The bullet made a painful wound in his head and he got a heavy fall from his wheel. Two men came from the bushes and they looked to him like Italians. They robbed him of Ills money, the ring, his watch and chain, a pair of now shoes and two shirts. He lie came unconscious after they left and was found by a butcher coming by. The butcher took him home. When he had the wound dressed he in sisted on going to see his bride-elect and she was greatly shocked as ho entered the house with a bandage like the headgear of an Arabian horseman. John R.

Tho Scheme Fulled to Work The Jail Door Didn't. The Tunkhannock Democrat of Friday, says: A man who gave his name of George C. Thompson was arrested at Laceyvllle on Wednesday and brought to the county jail here that evening. He went to the sta tion at Laceyvllle and wanted the express agent to give him a receipt for a package said to contain ?50, 000 in government bonds which he wished to send off for collection. The papers were made out, but as the agent had not seen the bonds, he was a little doubtful about giv ing the receipt. He thought he re membered having seen a circular containing the picture of a man re sembling Thompson who was wanted elsewhere for offenses he had com mitted and telegraphed to express headquartrrs at New York and re ceived word to have the man arrest ed as he was wanted for crimes com mitted in New York and New Jer sey. The man had been in Lacey vllle a few days and had tried to get money on some checks, claiming to be a man of wealth and showing checks of ten and twenty thousand dollars each, amounting in nil to $80,000. He did not succeed in getting any money that Way. The package was opened and found to contain only old newspapers. His scheme may have been to have had the packages stolen and try to col lect the money from the express company from the receipt.

She left on tho day when the express package was supposed to have been sent. A detective is ex pected hero to take him to New Jersey.
