Compressible Soil and Concrete Much Thinn ner Than the Law Permitted \Vere Named as the Two Things Mainly Responsible. NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—The doors oi part three, general sessions, were besieged today by a crowd anxious to be present at the winding up of the inquest held by- Coroner Fitzpatrick and a jury Of experts into the death of the 15 workmen who were killed by the collapse of the Ireland building at WeSt Broadway and West Third street. The taking of the testimony had been completed, and Coroner Fitzpatrick had set today for a careful summing up for the benefit of the jury. Mr. Ireland was early on hand. He was accompanied by his counsel, Ira D. War- ren, and looked very cheerful. Proceedings were not begun until 11:30, when Coroner Fitzpatrick arrived. The coroner apologized to the jury for keeping them waiting and proceeded at once to deliver his charge, which was typewritten and occupied 15 minutes in its delivery. After a few congratulatory remarks to g the jury the coroner said: . ‘ ‘In my opinion the primary cause of 5 this calamity, in which 15 lives were I crushed out, was insufficient thickness of f cement under the foundation of the cen- I tral column, known as column NO. 3. and I which supported the section of the build- ; ing which collapsed. i “According to the testimony Of the ex- : perts, it was found that the cement under the pillar was but 12 inches thick. The diameter of the base Of the column was 9 feet, having a surface of 81 square feet. The law touching this point says that the thickness of the concrete base must bear the same ratio to the square feet in the surface Of a column as is 1 to 5. “Therefore it is evident that the thick- ness of the cement base should have been at least ‘18 inches, or, better still, 24 inches. The Compressible Soil. “I would also call to your attention the testimony of the experts to the effect that the foundation under column NO. 3 was of such a nature that it would not have sup ported a weight of more than 1% tons to the square foot, where the law calls for a foundation that will support 4 tons. “A secondary cause of the disaster may, I think, be found in the compressible na- ture of the soil on which the foundations of the building rested. “From the testimony on the subject it would appear that the soil was of so com- pressibl a nature that the side walls had settled t least 2% inches, thus throwing upon the central column a much greater volume of weight than it was designed to support. “All of the resources of the district at- torney’s Office have been placed at our dis- posal in this inquest. We have received every aid from the building department. The coroner has tried to do his duty. . “Those who have been accused of being in any way responsible for this disaster have been represented by able counsel. “Now the result devolves upon you. You are the judges, and I charge you to hold responsible, without fear or favor, every one, whoever he may be, who, in your opinion, has been guilty in connec- tion with this disaster of negligence, in- competency or indifference. ” The coroner then stated that it would be perfectly proper for the jury to make such recommendation in their verdict as should seem to them to be necessary for the public safety. ———————— a Commissioner Fitzgerald’s Story.

' The Smoky City “’ill Get the Next Trien- nial Conclave 'of the Knights Tem- plarc—Sketch of the Career of Grand Master Thomas. BOSTON, Aug. 80,—A dull gray sky and rain soaked earth rather discouraged the Knights Templars when they turned out for the day. The rain served to cool the atmosphere, and as the sun finally decided to show its face the showers were not un- Welcome. There was just as great a throng in the streets as on any day since the conclave began, but it had a different aspect. Black and white plumes and tightly fit- ting uniform coats gave way to fatigue caps, business sui s, and the Sir Knights seem tO have settl d largely to systematic sightseeing. It is easy to distinguish them from other visitors by their display of badges, buttons and ribbons. The session Of the grand encampment las reopened at Masonic temple, when W. LARUE THOMAS. conclave Of the women’s Masonic organi- zation. the Order Of the Eastern Star, was also formally opened at Union hall. The grand encampment elected Right Eminent Sir Warren La Rue Thomas of Kentucky grand commander, to suct:eed Most Eminent Sir Hugh McCurdy. Reu- ben H. Lloyd of San Francisco was elected deputy gran; commander. Pittsburg was chosen as the next con- clave city. Grand Master McCurdy today positively denied that there was any truth in the re- Tempiars and Mystic Shrine was contem- plated. The New Grand Master. Warren LaRue Thomas of Maysville, Ky., was born at Elizabethtown, Ky., Jan. 25, 1845. He was educated at Center college, and for 20 years he has given. his business. As soon as he became of age he pet-i- tloned the Masons, and at once received the degrees in the lodge, chapter and council. He soon became a member of the grand bodies of his r‘ate. After filling various subordinate positions in both bodies he was, in October, 1 80, elected grand master of the grand Odge and grand high priest of the grand chapter, filling both positions the same year. He has already occupied the chair Of grand ‘ master of the grand council, Royal and Select Masters. .In 'October, 1872, Sir Knight Thomas received the Knight Templar orders in De Molay commandery 12, 'Louisvill‘e. preparatory to organizing a commandery at his home at Danville. ‘In February. 1873, he assisted in the forming of Ryan commandery 17, and was the first captain general of that commandcry, afterward holding the Office of eminent commander for two years. In 1874, at the meeting of the grandcommandery Of Kentucky, he was elected to the Ofilco of grand senior warden, and after regular promotion was elected grand commander in May, 1878. In 1874 Sir Knight Thomas attended . the meeting of the grand encampment in New Orleans as the proxy Of the grand commander of Kentucky and has been present at'every meeting since that time. At Chicago, in 1880, he was elected to the office of grand junior warden and at each triennial conclave since has received areg- ular promotion, having been elected depu- ty grand master, at Denver, in 1892. Sir Knight Thomas is also a member of the . Shrine and of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, having been crowned with the thirty-third degree in January, 1889. .Sir Knight Thomas is a typical Ken- tuckian. being 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. He is regarded as one of the best Masonic "jurists in the-order and for years has served on the jurisprudence com- mittees in the various grand bodies of his native state. Being a ready debater and forcible speaker, with a good presence and fine voice, his influence is felt on all im- portant matters of legislation coming be- fore the Masonic grand bodies. He has al— ways been a champion of the Masonic Widows and Orphans’ home, the pride of all Kentucky Masons, and much of the success of that grand institution is due to his eflorts in shaping legislation for its benefit, Sir Knight Thomas and his escort, Mays- ville oommaudery 10, will have their head- quarters at the Hotel Brunswick, where they will extend an old fashioned Ken- tucky welcome to friends and callers. r Thomu' Well Chosen Words. A press representative was the first per- son tO greet Most Eminent Sir Warren La Rue Thomas, the new grand master, when he came out from the encampment meet- ing. He said: “It would be weak and puerile for me to say that I am gratified and pleased at the great honor which has been conferred on me, for to become grand master of Templar Masonry means more than the gratification Of a wish. It is the goal of a lifetime of Masonic ambition. I thank you for your congratulations, the more as they are the first to be extended , to me outside the grand encampment. I can only say that I shall endeavor with all the vigor I possess to fill this, the supreme office of Templar Masonry, in such a man- ner as to reflect credit upon myself, upon the grand encampment and, most Of all, upon the order. ’;’ Nebraska Populists Nominate a J ustice.’ LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 30.—Samuel Max- well ‘was nominated for supreme court justice at the Populist convention. “WASH DAY.” A Salt Water Festival Sea Girt. Mrs. Burton Harrison, in an article on “American Rural Festivals” in the Cen- tury for July, writes as follows: Of those which I have seen, and those of which I have been able to gather ac- JERSEY on the Coast of counts. the one smacking most pleasant». ly of Old time rustic revelry, and there- fore to be Offered honorable precedence in this recital, is the "Salt Water Day,” or “Wash Day,” of the New Jersey farmers. that since time out of mind has been celebrated on the second Saturday in the month of August, upon the coast at Sea Girt. To make this Jersey holiday, assem- ble 3. thousand back country vehicles of all sorts, from the hooded farm wagon, which has not greatly altered its pattern for centuries, to the rude buckboard and the pert sulky. The horses are with- drawn from shafts or pole to be tethered behind the wagons or picketed at a little distance in the rear. . Around the im- promptu camp gather people enough to blacken half a mile of I the sandy shore— people who for months have been look- ing forward to the occasion as the chief holiday of the year. Cedar chest and camphor trunk and flowered bandbox have been called upon to disgorge their treasures: but there is no other attempt at costuming than the assumption of mere Sunday best. An Odd feature Of the great concourseis the seriousness with which it takes its pleas- ure. A solemn. even strainei, expres- sion of determination tO revel or die sits upon the majority of faces.

TO, BE FINISHED SHORTLY. illnister Denby’s Reports From the Orient Appear to Show That the Massa- cre Investigation Is Pro- gressing Satisfactorily. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—While pleased with the turn that our diplomatic relations in China have taken and satisfied with the present representation of our navy in the waters of that country the naval au- thorities here are still looking forward with eager interest to the completion of the three light draft gunboats now in proc- ess ' of construction at NeWport News, Va. These vessels are designed especial- ly for the Chinese service and are expected to be (if great value in coast navigation and in ascending the Chinese rivers. It is felt that, with so many interests center- ing in China as at present, it is important that the United States should be prepared not only to protect American citizens, but, if the Opportunity Ofiers, to promote American commerce. These vessels are provided with .“Overhangs” for the pro- tection of their propellers against drift- wood und snags in the Chinese rivers, and it is believed will be found to be especial- ly adapted for serving both these purposes. They will also enjoy the advantage of be- ing moved more economically than the larger vessels and of being more easily protected during storms and. in the win- ter season. The 15th of September has been set as the date for their launching. and Assistant Secretary McAdOO expresses the Opinion that they will be ready by that time. Aft- er ' they are launched from six to nine months will elapse before they will be completed. Denby’s Explanation. Minister Denby has cabled an explanation of events connected with the inquiry into the Ku-Cizang massacre, which he had pre- viously failed to report, thereby causing some dissatisfaction in Official circles. Mr. Denby has maintained so long a silence, despite the anxiety Of the depart- ment to hear from him in regard to those matters, that it was determined to cable him a synopsis of the newspaper reports cabled from China in regard to alleged Chinese attempts to prevent afull inquiry by theAmerican and British commission- ers into the massacre and the reported re- appointment of the degraded Viceroy Liu, the supposed instigator Of the Chingtu riots. This was done, and Mr. Denby was requested to state whether or not these re- ports were true. " ter shows that he was diligent in. the per- formance of his duties, andthe explana- tion Of his silence appears that he did not deem some Of the information in his-pos- session sufficiently important to cable. The departmentreceived dispatches from Mr. Denby in which he states that Mr. Hixson, our consulat Fuchau, started for Kutien under orders from him to investi- gate the recent riots there in the early part Of this month. Mr. Hixson went with the consent Of the Chinese govern- ment and under the protection Of an es- cort furnished him by the provincial au- thorities. He was'accompanied bya naval Officer Of our fleet, the latter, as the de- partment has been advised from other sources, being Commander Newell of the Detroit. Mr. Hixson, has reported to Min- ister Denby that the work of the commis- sion at Kutien is proceeding smoothly, and that the Chinese officials are lending their active co-operation. A considerable number of convictions have already been secured. ’ The Szechuen Commission- As to the Szechuen Commission, Mr. Denby states that it will begin its work as soon as the British consul at Shun—King, who has been designated by his gOvern- ment to serve thereon, can leave his post, which, for the. time being, he finds ,it im- possible to do.

Pics of all kinds suggest the litany—chanted 'ithout taking breath—Of the feminine hotel waiter in the ears Of the summer b larder: “Apple pie, mince pie. custard pie, lemon pie, squash pie and pie plant pie.” Doughnuts(called "nuts” in the veracu- lar). cheese in liberal wedges. ham sand- wiches, hard boiled eggs. and pickles, supply the favorite menu; and lemonade and rootbeer—perchance a stronger beverage—are produced in bottles each confessing by label a different intention in its earlier career. Then, while the summer sun slants in the cloudless heaven, the merriment goes on to its climax, more dips in the ocean are taken, more money changes hands, more solid food is consumed, till at last the shades of evening close upon the scene, and a general hitching up of teams betokens the end of Salt Water day at Sea Girt. A Canary Kills a Rat. Joseph Thompson. a'deputy clerk of the Criminal Court, and at one time a prominent candidate for the Mayoralty of Baltimore, has a canary of which he has always been very proud. He is prouder of the little bird than ever now, on account of the fact that‘last Thurs- day night, after a-desperate fight with a rat, the little yellow fellow came ofi a victor. ' Just before the family retired to rest on Thursday night at their residence, 1321 North Eden street, Mrs. Thompson placed the bird cage on the sideboard in the dining room. During the night a. half grown rat forced itself into ihe cage and proceeded to devour the birds food. This'was the beginning of the trouble. The canary flew from its perch and the battle began. ‘ - » When Mrs. Thompson came into the dining room the next morning she found a dead rodent lying on its back on the floor of the bird cage. while the canary Was singing merrily from its perch above. The beak Of the bird had pene- trated the eye Of the rat. entering the brain an ‘I causing instant death.--Ba1tie more Herald. Enact: (gloomily)—-I tell you, Char-,- lie, thi : isa hard, hard world.

Chingtu until his conduct prior to and during the riots has been thoroughly in- vestigated. The department of state is also in re- ceipt Of a letter from Mr..Denby, of July 10 last. transmitting a decree of the Chi- nese government, issued on July 5, con- cerning appointments to office. The de- cree states that the first of essentials in the administration of government is the selection Of good men for Office and con- tinucs: “Previous decrees have been promulgat- ed calling upon our servants of state in the capital and in the provinces to bring forward and recommend men Of talent for office. and these have, in their order, been selected for government employ. At the present time there are many difiicult and perplexing questions to be met, and, in view of this fact, it is all the more neces- sary that men Of unquestionable ability and talent be selected, so that we may avail ourselves of their services. the presidents and vice presidents of the various boards as well as the Tartar gen- erals, viceroys and governors of the prov- inces, when they have knowledge of per- sons Of clear understanding, excelling in wisdom and ability, and thoroughly com- petent to perform the functions assigned to them, report to us in special memorials, with recommendations for appointment to office. "The memorials mast specify the true qualifications of each person recommend- ed. Men of remarkable ingenuity and extraordinary talents, such as astrono- mers, geographers, mathematicians, scien- tists and manufacturers, those who have been examined and their capabilities test- Id and vorifigd, not persons who are mere- ly given to empty tasks, are tome recom- mended tO us, the memorialists giving an account of each in his own particular pro- fession, so as to enable us to avail our- selves Of their special requirements. ” A Veiled Threat of the Sword. The decree also says ,that high authori- ties “should give careful consideration in examining into the merits of those they recommend for oflice. Should it appear that they are careless and perform their duties pcrfunctoriiy or just as far as they feel obliged to, presenting false reports— presenting the interests Of favored persons from selfish motives—and are unduly lenient and influenced by their private feelings, we will certainly hold the guilty . responsible, punishment being specially ”provided by statute for such Offense—that- of'improperly recommending persons for Office.” ' ‘ . The Chinese ministercalled at the state ‘ - a Let all . ; company has been incorporated to Operate department today and held a conference of an hour‘s duration with Acting Secre- tary Adee and Third Assistant Secretary Rcckhill concerning the progress of the investigation into the recent Chinese riots which is now in progress. The minister informed the department that he had re- ceived advices from the Peking authori- ties that the investigation was making satisfactory progress and the minister gave renewed assurances Of the determi- nation Of the Chineseimperial authorities to press the inquiry and to punish the perpetrators of the riots. The statement made by the Chinese minister was in the line of the informa- tion which had been received already from Minister Denby and confirmed all that he had stated, especially as to the disposition of the Chinese national authorities to per- mit the fullest inquiries concerning the antimissionary riots. -' GOMEZIS ALLEGED DEATH. It In Not Believed by the Cubans or the Spanish Grove ument. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 21, via Key West, Aug. 30.—The two young men who arrived here the other day from Havana to join the rebels, and who were detained in the ofiice of the chief of police, coolly made their escape on the night of the 18th lust, and by this time it is supposed they are in the field with the insurgents. Their names are Jose Montalvo and J usto Rodriguez Campina. For the last 15 days there has been a. ru- mor here that Maximo Gomez is dead. Some say he died of fever and others of a wound received in the battle Of Bayamo. Several papers here have published the news as a rumor, but none Officially. Of course the majority do not believe it, as, if true, the government- would take great care to have it published Officially, because naturally his death would be a great blow to the rebels. On the 20th inst. 1,000 rebels under Jose Maceo and Periquito Perez visited several plantations not far from this city, in the direction of Caney, and took with them a great number Of cattle, but they did not- mcet with any Spanish troops. On the night of the 17th a large expe- dition landed very near the port Of Man- zanillo. They spent the entire night un- loading, and, not having finished at day- . break, they put out to sea and returned to the same place the following night and ' finished without being caught. The health Of this city continues bad. During the. first fort-night Of this month there were 66 deaths of yellow fever. The Red Flag In Chicago.
