Buffalo, May 21.—The 4-story brick building, 8 and 10 Seneca street, part of it forming a portion of the Brown build ing recently vacated by the Western Union Telegraph company, collapsed while, a large number of men were at work in the building; remodelling it. The falling walls went down upon a couple of smaller brick buildings ad joining on the east side and practically demolished them. Shreib’s barbershop, next door to the falling building, was crushed as if it had been ,an eggshell. It was full of barbers and customers at the time. Quickly responding to an alarm, a force of firemeu went to work to clear away the ruins. Their zeal was quickened by hearing the agonized cry of men beneath the debris. Walls on the west, north and south sides stood nearly intact. The front wall having fallen out, gave the ruins die appearance of a hollow squuie. ifrom the third story of the wrecked portion of the building an immense piece of ceiling and floor seemed to hang above the heads of the rescuing party. The wall to the south had broken at the top and a portion of it had been carried away by the roof as it caved in. This wall from the second story up to what had been the third, stood unsupported and was regarded as the chief danger to the rescuers and those still beneath the ruins. Firemen Rescuing the Victims. ‘After 20 minutes of hard work the firemen reached and extricated one of the victims, mangled and bleeding, out still alive., He was taken away in an ambulance. A little later, directed by groans proceeding from a mass of beams, lath, brick and plaster, the fire men reached a second sufferer. He was a young man. Though he had been un der ten feet of debris he was able to stand when once he was extricated. He ’is not dangerously hurt. He is Robert Casler, a steamfitter, who was in the cellar . and heard the first cracking warnings of the impending ruin. He looked up and saw the rafters and joists give wav. He sprang quickly Into the part of the cellar that is under the side- Iralk. A moment later, the whole structure was abouLhis ears. He was tightly penned in, although he could breathe easily. He said there were two steam Stters and two helpers in the cellar and he did not see them as the building fell. He thinks they may have escaped injury, as they were in another part of the cel lar. Twelve Supposed to Be Dead. Up to noon only one of the dead had been recovered, though it is believed that there are ten or 12. George Metz, the man who was first discovered by the firemen, died on the way to the hos pital. following is a list of the Injured as far as is now known: S. L. Hawks, a carpenter, address un known, married, severely bruised and cut about the body, not seriously in jured; James Adams, 77 Chandler street, a carpenter, severely bruised, cut and injured internally, has a wife and one child; Michael O’Brien, a carpenter, living at 235 James street, his back is broken, is a married man and had four children. The missing are: Miss Jennie Griffin, cashier in Jones’ barber shop, is buried beneath the ruins; Herman J. Schinbek, one of the barbers, who escaped uninjured, said that as he was rushing out of the shop he saw the walls and debris fall upon Miss Griffin. Nothing has been heard of her and the firemen are working hard at tjie ruins to learn the truth of the rumor. Eight Men Buried In a €’ave-In. Ironwood, Mich,, May 21.—Eight men were buried in an immense cave-in at the Ashland mine in this city. Their names are: Ed Opie, Paul Nichols, Pe ter Moran, Ed Van, Gus Breckmau, John Helman, John Collins and Peter Gura. The first six are miners and the other two timber men. The men were work ivg 300 feet from the surface when the cave-in occurred. Captain Thomas Wil liams, who was working near, heard the fall and rushed to the acene. At that time no great amount of ground had fallen and Captain Williams was able to communicate with the imprisoned men. They were all unharmed and in a safe place, and said that with aid and a rope they could be rescued. Captain Williams sent for help, but before he returned another large piece of ground fell and it was impossible to reach the men. It is still possible to communi cate with them, however, by signals, and it is known that at least part of them are alive. No. 7 shaft, in which the accident occurred, is on the line be tween the Ashland and Norris mines and large crews of men are at work in both mines, drifting towards the Im prisoned men in the hope of rescuing them alive. , Gm Explosion Wrecks Two Buildings.

Columbia, S. 0., May Dem ocratic state convention here indorsed Senator Ben Tillman for president, and the following financial planks in the platform were presented by Senator Tillman and adopted: We demand a more economical admin istration of our national affairs, and that taxes shall be levied so as to bear equally on all sections and all classes. Labor should be lightly burdened, and by a graduated income tax wealth be made to pay for it's proteotion. We repudiate the construction placed oq the financial plank of the last Demo-* cratic national convention by President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle as con trary to plain meaning of English words, and as being an act in.bad faith, deserv ing the severest censure. The issue of bonds in the time of peace with which to buy gold to redeem coin obligations, payable in silver or gold, at the option of the government, and the use of proceeds to defray the ordinary expen ses of the government, are both unlawful and usurp actions of authority, deserving impeachment. A sound and just system of finance i the most potent factor in a nation’s pros perlty, and we demand the' restoration o the money of the constitution l>y givin silver the’same rightsand privileges no-, given to gold. We demand the free and unllmite.. coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 re gardless of the action of any and all other nations, and that such coinage shall be a legal tender for all debts, public and pri vate. Congress'alone has the power to coin and Issue money, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be del egated to a corporation; therefore, we de mand the national banking system be abolished. The absorption of wealth by a*few, the consolidation of our leading railroad sys terns and the formation pf trusts aud pools require a stricter control by the fed eral government of those arteries of com merce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce com mission. . The Ghicago delegation was in structed to vote as a unit on all ques tions. Cuban resolutions, calling on Presi dent Cleveland to carry out the action of congress, were adopted unanimously. At 2a. m. the convention adjourned till Sept 1. ANNUAL REUNION.

After his address, Captain Howell made a speech, in which he said: “The Republicans are going to meet in St. Louis on June 16 and nominate McKinley on a gold platform.

But will they do it? “We have got this fight whipped in Georgia,’’he continued, “and on June 6 we are going to send delegates to the state convention who will in turn select a delegation to go to Chicago and if they cannot get what we want there we will walk out and go off and form a party of our own. ” ”B«er«t»’ry Morton In San Diego.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 22. 1896. IT’S GOOD FOR ROHE The City Congratulated Upon Its Bond Sale THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS Ever Secured by a City the Size of Rome SAYS THE ATLANTA JOURNAL In a Leading editorial Yesterday Afternoon The New York Life Insurance Company Congratulated on Securing the Excellent Securities—Rome 1* te be and la Congrat ulatulated on the Creditable Sale. The excellent sale of $169,000 of Rome bonds, as has already been told of in the Tribane, is a cause for congratula tion, and the city is being congratulated by outsiders. The following leading editorial in yesterday’s Journal will be read with interest: “The sale of $169,000 of Rome 4 1-2 per cent bonds at par is very creditable to that city. . * “We do not believe a bond sale was ever mace before on such favorable terms by any city in the south of Rome’s size. The New York Life In surance company is also to be [congratu lated on its purchase of these excellent securities. The sale of these bonds was effected mainly through the efforts at Mr. Edward A. Richards, editor of The Financial Index of this city. “In connection with this matter an instructive object lesson appears. Tbe Rome city council at first offered a 5 per cent currency bond, It was soon discovered that there was no demand for such a bond. The council then very sensibly reconsidered its action and agreed to offer 4 l-2*per cent gold bond. This was readily accepted by the New York Life Ifisurance company. The re sult is that the city has been saved $26,000 in interest and has floated its bond at figures which make an ex cellent advertisement for it, ’ ’ The truth is Rome is, as we all know, the best city in the land of its size, and outsiders so recognize it.

Sylvania, Ga., May 21.—Attorneys representing the Zeigler bfiys, wanted for the murder of the sheriff of Screven county, went before Judge Gamble and Solicitor General Beverly Evans and made the offer to surrender their clfents for trial. It was set out that the Zeig lers did not fear a trial, being positive that they would justify themselves in eyes of their peers. It was stated, however, .that in view of the fact that feeling was running very high the young men feared, in case they were imprisoned, mob violence would be offered them. They did not wish to put themselves at the mercy of men who were opposed to them aud who might determine to take the law into their own hands. It was stipulated, therefore, that the Zeiglers should be permitted to give bond for appearance in any sum that the court might direct. If this bail was allowed they would hold themselves in readiness to walk into the courthouse at any time to stand trial.

PRICE FIVE CENTS CZAR IN MOSCOW Bells King, Artillery Thunders and Loyal Russians Cheer, GREATEST ASSEMBLAGE KNOW The Czar and Czarina Make Triumphant Entry AMID THE GREATEST ENTHUSIASM A Salute of Nine Guns the Signal For the Cemmencement of the Day’s ExeroUee. Visitors From Every Part of the Globo ou Band—The Saltan** Costly Present* to the Czar and Czarina. [Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press.! Moscow, May 21. The czar and czarina made their triumphal entry into this city amid the thunder of butteries of artillery, the clanging of countless bells and the cheers of a vast multitude of loyal Russians and equally enthusi astic visitors from all parts of the world. Probably never in the history of nation# has there been such an assemblage of people. Possibly the gorgeous scene may never be repeated in its grand en tirety. At 1 o’clock, in anticipation of the coming of the czar, the entire route from Petrovski palace, about three miles on the road to St. Petersburg to the krem lin, was so densely packed with people that movement, except on the outskirts of the immense, crowds, was out of the question. From 7 o’clock in the morning the route to be followed by the procession had been guarded by troops, infantry and cavalry, police on foot and on horseback, in uniform and in plain clothes, until the road may be said to have been lined by row after row, thick ness after thickness of blood and iron. The weather was delightfully fine, a great relief after the bitterly cold and damp experiences of the past few days. The sunshine, however, had not had time to dry the muddy roads and streets, but the warmth was a great improve ment and put everybody in a good humor. The signal for the commencement of the day’s movements was a salute of nine guns from a battery outside the ■city. This was followed by the dull booming of the big bell of the cathedral of the Assumption, and the assemblage of the troops at their various mustering places. Diglntaries Take Their Places. Then the countless high dignitaries of the empire and of foreign countries be gan to gather at the Petrovski palace to take their places in the gala equipages and to escort on horseback the car riages of their imperial majesties. The grand dukes and duchesses, the princes and princesses, the Asiatic potentates, the innumerable representatives of every country under the sun assembled here to do honor to the czar of all the Rus sias, the ruler of the mighty empire which half circles the globe. Generals with tfidir staffs, aid-de camps, riding at breakneck speed, or derlies galloping furiously, were to be seen everywhere. The clash of arms resounded on all sides and most impres sive was the gathering of the hosts of the mighty emperor. At 2:30 p. m. there was a further thundering of the cannon, coming from the direction of the Petrovski palace, and the living mass of men and women gave a great sigh of relief, for it was the signal that the czar had started on his journey to the kremlin. ** Sultan's Presents to* the Czar* Constantinople, May 21.—The sul tan’s presents to the czar upon the oc casion of the latter’s coronation consist of a number of silk carpets and other costly articles, including a diamond pin valued at 2,000 pounds ($10,000) in tended for the czarina.
