At International Footbtll Game Brings
70,000 Tewple Together and Terrace
Falls Killing 21 and Injuring 250.
Glasgow, April 5. Thestrug
' gle of the crowds gathered at
the Lenox Park to'day witnessed
the last international football
contest between teams from
England at d Scotland caused
the collapse of a portion of one
of the spectator's terraces, result
ing in the death of three per
sons and the in jury of 125 others.
When the game began 70,000
spectators were on the ground
'and an immense crowd had
gathered outside. Being unablo
to obtain admittance the crowd
broke down some of the bars
and swarmed upon the field,
where the police charged and
drove the intruders back upon
the terraces and seats. The
railing dividing the crowds were
broken and the people worn
thrown over each other. In the
frantic struggle towards the
exits the pressure toward the
upper portion of the westerly
structure was so great that a
hundred feet of the highest iart
of the structure collapsed under
the weight of the crowTd driven
upon, it precipitating the mass
of people to the ground, 00 feet
below. The injured wore piled
in heaps, wedged in with broken
timbers.
A hundred of the most
seriously injured were carried to
the pavillion and to spaces in the
rear of the stands. A majority
the victims are suffering from
broken ribs and fractured
limbs while some sustained
internal injuries. Few persons
were thrown down and trampled
upon in tryirg to escape from
the crush when the police
charged but most of the vietims
sustained their injuries in the
fall of the terrace. Up to
midnight five deaths had been
reported as the results of the
accident while in the cases of 20,
victims all hope of recovery has
been abandoned.
It is now believed that the
collapse was caused more by the
efforts of those nearest ihe first
break than by the additional
weight of those who rushed up
on the stand from below. The
tdrrace, although supported by
iron girders, swayed and cracked
omninously under the move
ments of its frantic occupants.
The fallen .portion is 100 feet
lonfy 30 feet wide and contains
12 tiers of seats. The injured in
many cases were lying five or
six deep and it is marvelous
that there were -.not more
fatalities.
Nearly all the victims of the
accident are men. Among the
last to be taken from the debris'
were tw womeuboth of whom
were practically unhurt.
J
; dispatches say that 21
are dea4 and 250 were injured.
THE VALUABLE SECKLigE fOUm
:
FlaVman ou the Southern Had It in His
Possession It Was Missed March
23rd-TVorth $C,000.
The valuable Hariett S Blaine
Beale necklace has been found.
It was in the hands of a flagman
of the Southern Railway resi
dent in Charlotte. It is an ugly
affair in which the flagman surely
fell into temptation. He will
not be prosecuted, however, as
he delivered the jawells through
a lawyer without a legal process.
Ex-Chief Orr left Saturday
night for Washington to deliver
the necklace to the owner in
person.
The detective work was largely
done by the Mr. Orr and Gari
baldi' and Bruns, a jewelry firm,
to whom the flagman had sold
fivo of the jewells.
The man has a family and he
narrowly escaped great humilia
tion for his wife.
Mrs. Beale is the daughter of
the late James G Blaine. Sho
was returning from Cuba iti
company with Miss Alico R6oso
velt and on the morning of March
23 she missed the necklace when
noaring Columbia.
Diligent search was made and
she offered $250.00 for its re
covery. It is said to be worth $G,000.
Fishcr-Blnine.
Mr. Deberry Fisher and Miss
Gertrude Blume were married at
the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W H Blume, on
South Union street at 8 o'clock
Saturday night by' Rev. W H
Hiller.
It was a very quiet wedding
that neither allowed to interfere
with business.
Mr. Fisher is in the employ of
the Cannon & Fotzer Company
and Mrs. Fisher has been a clerk
in ' the post office for fifteen
months where she has won many
admiring friends by her uniform
genial bearing and faithful serv
ice. The happy couple has our best
wishes for full measuros of 'mat
rimonial bliss.
The Stone which the Builders Refused.
The man who was turned out
of the United States Senate at
the instigation of a long-haired
set of Populists on the ground
that he was the enemy of the
farmer, turns out to be the great
est farmer in the whole country.
Matt Ransom sold his last year's
crop of cotton recently for $50,
000, while Butler, who posed as
the farmer's friend, is doing ex
actly what he accused Ransom
of doing consorting, with the:Wharey, or tne i'res,ytonon

About Confederate Crosses. .
We are authorized to announce
that through the John Phifer
Young Chapter Children of the
Confederacy crosses pf honor
for 42 veterans have been se
cured to bo bestowed on the 10th
of May. This includes all who
have mado application up to the
present except two dated Feb
ruary 22. Due effort will yet be
made to get them and they havo
been sent in.
While the bestowal of these
badges is tho prerogative 6f the
Daughters of the Confederacy,
the Dodson Eamseur Chapter,
having exhausted its treasury on
other objects, tho children again
camo to tho rescue and got tho
necessary funds and they will
again be authorized to pin them
on the. veterans on memorial
day. It is a beautiful tribute
that these dear young people be
stow and wo hope every one who
has made application before this
date and has not gotten tho
badge will bo hero on that day
and will allow them personally
to perform tho cherished act of
pinning them ou.
Our Third Deep Well.
The machinery for the third
artesian well has cotrlo and oper
ations will begin at once. The
location for tho well has been
changed from former calcula
tions and tho well will bo located
below the oil mill near th sido
track to tho Udell mihs.
It is probable that if tho well
there furnishes the expected
quantity of water tho water com
mission may conclude to move
tho power house to this point,
where there will be no hauling
of coal to do. In this case Iho
water from the two wells already
bored can be conveyed by pipes
to the reservoir of the new well,
from which all will be forced
into standpipe.
It is desired to have a pressure
to throw water 150 feet high in
the business tpart of town,
at
least, and in quantity for as
much as half a dozen hose.
