“Third Nomlnatlon” Questions.
The triumph of Senator Quay in his
struggle for mastery of the Pennsyl-
vania Republican Convention is an
event of more than usual significance.
It is something more than a signal vin-
dication of the prowess and force
Senator Quay as a political leader. It
implies something besides the political
downfall of Governor Hastings and a
stinging rebuff for Mayor Warwick and
David Martin. It means that the Penn-
sylvania delegation to the next Repub-
lican National Convention will be con-
trolled by Matthew Stanley Quay
and that it will oppose the nomination
of Benjamin Harrison. Nothing seems
to be more certain at present than the
strict fulfillment of this prediction.
And this fact suggests whether the
subject of a third nomination for the
presidency would not constitute a time-
ly topic for discussion. A great deal is
heard nowadays about the dangers :ur-

year be apt to meet the fate of Andrew

The subject is one which is worth medi-
tition and study.

THE DEATH TRAP IN QUEST.
Four More Men Put Under Heavy Bonds
In Connection With the Collapse
of the Ireland Building—A
Stubborn Fight Probable.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—In the hope that
the fifth day’s session of the inquest into
the deaths of the 15 men whose lives were
crushed out by the fall of the Ireland
building at West Third ”street and West
Broadway two weeks ago today would
result in further startling disclosures, a.
big crowd gathered at an early hour in
part three of the court of general sessions,
where the investigation is being con-
ducted. '
.The certainty that John B. Ireland
would be called to testify and that ex-In-
specter of Buildings Buckley would also
be called upon to tell why he allowed gross
vidlations of the law in the construction
of the building, and why he was actually
identified with a. building firm which bid
for the work, also served to give interest
to the proceedings.
Mr. Tierney argued that Buckley should
not be put upon the stand, particularly at
this time, as it would be a. violation of his
constitutional right. He pointed out that
Buckley had not been connected with the
building department since June 11, and
that the building fell after that time.
“There was not,” he said, “put on the
stand the building inspector who acted
as such since June 11. At that date the
building had only progressed as far as the
fifth story. It is ‘in evidence before the
court that the iron pillar broke at the
sixth story, yet none of the J une men
has been put on the stand.
’ Buckley Refuses to Testify.
“I recognize that this is not in the na-
ture of a. criminal proceeding, and by not
putting Buckley on the stand the prOsecu-
tion will lose nothing of its rights. Now
I have only been in the court a few hours,
yet in that time I found that the whole
aim of the district attorney is to prove
that the building fell because of, faulty
construction in the foundations.
“I do not want Mr. Buckley to be cross
examined here by the array of witnesses.
Therefore on my advice he refuses to take
the witness stand at this investigation.”
Coroner Fitzpatrick said the lawyer’s
position was untenable, as nothing had
been shown, and he would insist on Buck-
ley going on the stand. Nothing had been
charged against Buckley. He was not ac-
cused, and if he could show that he had
complied with the law then he ought to
be glad to take the stand.
“All I do say is this, ” cried the coroner
“reputations do not count here as valua-
ble as life. Fifteen lives have been lost in
this accident, and if it is Show that any
one, no matter who it is, had any respon-
sibility for such slaughter, he should,
and no doubt will, be punished for it.
Buckley can refuse to answer any ques-
tion on the ground that it might crimi-
nate him.”
‘ ‘ Well, your honor, ” said the lawyer, “ on
my advice Mr. Buckley refuses to be
sworn.”
The Coroner Means Business.
“Then the district attorney will take
the proper steps to compel him to do so.
If I have the power, I will certainly put
him under arrest for failing to testify.”
It was then arranged that Foreman
Murray would be recalled and finish his
testimony. After that Buckley is to be
called and asked to be sworn. The fight
will then begin.
Murray then took the stand, and was
asked by Mr. McIntyre about the finding
of the cesspool. The witness denied posi-
tively that he ever called Parker’s atten-
tion to the cesspool. Neither did he re-
gard the cesspool as being dangerous when
it was built on solid ground.
“Do you realize now that it was dan-
gerous~that human lives were lost?”
“I realize it now.”
Four More Arrested.
A Sensation was caused at 1 o’clock this
afternoon. Coroner Fitzpatrick placed
four of the men alleged to be responsible
for the loss Of life under arrest.
They are Architect Behrens, Thomas
Murray; foreman for Parker, the builder,
and Parker’s superintendents Walker and
Youdcll.
Each of the accused was held in $2, 500
bail to await the conclusion of the inquest.
The bail was furnished. The technical
charge against each is manslaughter in
the second degree.
Troy Steel Works Sold.
TROY, N. Y., Aug. 23.-—The plant of
the Troy Steel and Iron company was sold

F. S. Witherbee of Port Henry on behalf

A OOLLAPSED GOLISEUM.
Chicago's Brag Bulldlng Faith to the Ground
by Its Own Weight.
CHICAGO, Aug. ' 23.——The Coliseum
building, a great open structure which
was being built by the Chicago Exhibition
company in the block bounded by Hope
and Stony Island avenues and Sixty-third
and Sixty-second streets, was wrecked by
the collapse of its iron roof. If, the disas-
ter had occurred a little earlier, there
would have been great loss of life, as over
{50 men had just quit work for the night.
Several watchmen had just made their
rounds of the interior, and were standing
under the walls, which are unusually low
for the size of the building. They hap-

pened to be on the street side, and when
the crashing superstructure of iron gave
warning of danger they had plenty of
time to rush to a. place of safety. When
the massive arches of iron began to break
down from their fastenings on the four
sides of the structure, the strain was too
much for the thin, low walls of pressed
brick. With a deafening sound the mass
of iron carried with it the four walls in a
chaotic heap toward the center, and the
work of destruction was complete.
The cost of the Coliseum was to be
$225,000, and as it was nearing comple-
tion for the opening show the loss is be-
lieved to be nearly $200,000.
The Usual Order Reversed.
ersham, a. young business man here, has
brought suit for $5,000 damages against
Miss Cora Ahart, for breach of promise.
Wickersham, in his petition, alleges that
Miss Ahart in February, 1894, promised
to marry him, but later spurned his atten-
tions. She has, the petition further gal-
leges, given him up for “a handsome
stranger, supposed to be a ranch owner
from Colorado.” -
