The Senator Wants to Talk
Measures, and Not Men.
Senator .lohn W. Daniel arrived in
tho city from Richmond yesterday,
whore ho made a speech to the Farmers'
Alliance Convention Wednesday. The
Senator was driven through the
city by K. U. Dorr, and loft in the
afternoon for Washingti n.
In alluding to his views ooncorning
the availability of Cleveland as Presi?
dential Limber tor '02, tho Senator said:
"I do not think this is tho time to dis?
cuss candidates, but rather measures.
Air. Cleveland's tariff policy has boon
endorsed bv the people, and this fact
alone would seem to good n asun for
making him the standard heitrer of \h<;
Democracy in 1893.
"But it must be remembered that
Mr. Cleveland favors the cessation of
silver coinage, while the reform elo?
quent of the country and those sick ai.d
tired of Itopublican measures and poli?
cies demand tho continuance and un?
limited coinage of silver.
''This fact sho Id be weighed for all
that it is. worth boforo Mr. Cleve?
land is nominated as our next President..
The tariff ami the currency will be the
two foremost, issues In tho next Presi

of The Times Most Nobly.
Again It has fallen to tin; lot, of The
Times to bring to the surface that sweet,
charity which lies latent in the breasts
of men.
Wednesday night tbo Rev. Mr. Btt
ohanan, of tho Greene Memorial Church,
called at. the office of this paper and
! stated that a most, worthy man had been
overtaken by adversity and misfortune,
and was then lying upon a bed of sick?
ness, incapable of doing a stroke of
work, without, any means of providing
for himself or his family.
This man was II. t. Falls, who
lived at 37.'! Ninth avenue .s. w., who had
I been ill for live weeks, and whose
meager savings from the proceeds of an
ill-paid occupation soon dwindled in the
lire of a fever.
Mr. Falls was represented as a most.
I worthy man. and the minister appealed
to Tiik Times to lay his case before its
readers in the hope that something
would he done for him and his suffering
family.
A hasty investigation by a times re- ]
porter-develop, d tho fact that tbo
minister had not bi en deceived as to
the merits of the case, and in yester?
day's issue there was printed a small
notice of the facts in the ease, coupled
with an appeal for help for the stricken
family.
Tho heart of Roanoko beats quickly
responsive to a cry for aid, and when
Tin: Times was glanced at, at tbo break
fust table, tho generous made prcpara-j
: lions each to do their little mite in so |
holy a cause.
Before 8 o'clock one gentleman bad
come to t he counting room of Tiik Times
and handed in SI for a beginning.
Shortly thereafter a sack of Hour wits
brought in. Then tin' good-hearted
people began to come in with pleasura?
ble regularity until a neat little sum
was in hand for the purpose*. It was a
noticeable feature, too. that, tho donors
did not wish their names disclosi d, as
they sought reward from their inner
ci nsciousness alone.
At II o'clock big. bluff, whole-souled
Manager Hrckncr, of the Opera House,
called to see the ronorter who had
charge of the funds. Hi' brought with
I him a paper and a tine live turkey.
tin the paper wasalistof amounts,

Mr Becknor stated that the amount
had been collected in and about Mar?
shall's Cafe, ISnglcdovo's, and the ex?
press office within ten minutes, simply
upon his statement of the case of dis?
tress which needed immediate atten?
tion.
Two representatives of TlIR times
then started in search of a conveyance
to conv ey I he money and supplies to the
needy people, and Messrs. Duval &
Smith, of the Magic City transfer (both
of whom bad subscribed cash to the
fund), directed the times people to hail >
till' first one of their coaches seen to do
the work. Hut young Mr. Tennant, of
the firm of Dill, Tennant & Young, in?
sisted on placing his vehicle at the dis?
posal of the charity, and the goods and
money then on band, 825.85, were taken
to Mr. Falls' house.
It was a pleasure to witness the joy
manifested by tho sick man and bis
faithful wife when the party, laden with
packages and loaded (in the eye*of the
needy couple) with money, arrived in
the humble, unpainted house where
they live.
??Hod bless you and those who pro?

Senator Vance was interviewed at

in March 1803."
Senator Vanco was asked about his
own re-election to the Senate. "1 have
no doubt about, that," he said, "as the
men who are pledged to vote for me are
all honorable. 1 think there will be no

He would not speak of- the possibili?

"How about the sub-treasury bill?"

UnooKfiYX, N. Y., Nov. -'I -("Special]
?A terrible accident occurred on the
toot-ball ] grounds at Basten1 Park,
Brooklyn! a row minutes after 12
o'olock, afad before tho Yale-Princeton
game began.
Tho big frco stand on tho eastern side
of the grounds furthest from the grand J
stand suddenly collapsed,carrying down '
with it its'entire load of human beings.
The crash came without any warning
whatever, and at the time tho long
rows of bleachers were closely packed
; with spectators.
I It is estimated that there were more
I than '.'.000 people on tho structure at
the time.
A scene of indescribable confusion and
panic follpwcd the crash, which was j
beard in all parts oT the grounds.
Tho occupants were mostly men, a
groat majority of them students from
Vale and Princeton. There wore also
many women in the crowd.
Tboy all lay in a confusad and strug?
gling mass upon tho ground, many of
them completely buried under tbo
wreckage of planks and jnis'.s, of which
I the rickety structure was built.
Tbo screams and shrieks and groans
which came from the unfortunates were
I heartrending to hear. Many fainted
from the injuries they received.
in an instant there was a general rush
for that part of the field and a score or
more of policemen were soon engaged in
pulling the maimed and wounded from
the wreck. Others lent their assistance,
and within ten minutes the whole place
had been cleared.
At first it was feared that some might
have been killed, but this fear proved
unfounded.
A great many persons, however, were
very severely hurt and broken limbs
and bruised beads and bodies were
numerous. Many friends of the wounded
people had them curried at onCO out of
the grounds and placed in hack's, which
took them away before their names
could be learned. In this way a great
many cases were, not reported to the
pol ice.
The *big dressing room under the
grand stand was turned into a hospital,
and surgeons from the Brooklyn hospi?
tal had their hands full with patients.
Among those who were treated on
the grounds and afterwards taken away
I were: Charles W ilson, 403 Downey
! street. Brooklyn, anklo dislocated;
! Cadets John Aquillar, and Pcrin Dalney,
of the Military Institute, Peekskill,
two young lads, backs badly sprain* d

j A lot of hoys, a dozen or more, whose
i names were not learned, and who stood
i upon the top row of bleachers, were
i badly bruised and cut.
Tlie only ladies who were hurt wen?
j two Brooklyn Women, one of whom had
her foot crushed and the other her leg
bruised. They were first taken to the
manager's ofliee, near the main en-'
trance, and were afterwards taken from
the grounds by their friends.
Some of these who were buried be?
neath the wreckage, and who were
taken out, UnCOUSCiOUS, afterwards re?
covered and declined to be treated.
They went on the Held again and
found other places to view the game.
'I he lowest estimate puts the number ]
of injured at fifty, while others place it
as high as sixty or more.
The stand was evidently in a most
unsafe condition, for the broken timbers
showed many of them were rotted in
two. while the whole affair was tho
most flimsy structure imaginable.
When it began to fill up with specta?
tors, the joists wen- beard to crack and
strain, and many who started to Hud
seats gave it up as a dangerous job.
Several persons stationed themselves
m ar t he entrance of the stand before
tho accident occurred and warned the
people not to go up. as it was unsafe.
It was reported that bets were made
quite early of .'> to 1 that the stand would
go down before the game was over. The
greatest indignation prevailed among
tho people in the ground against the
management of Eastern Park and the
blame was all put upon those officers.
Hvery one asserted that a very super

PI
IRISH AFFIRS.
i Balfour Introduces Another
Land Bill.
London, Nov. 37.?[Special]?In the
bouse of commons to-day Spencer asked
tbe government, in view of the recent
crisis in London, n> amend the bank acl
of 18S4 by providing for the issue of one
pound notes. Loschen, the chancellor
or exchequer, declined to make any
settement on the subject.
Balfour, the chief secretary tor Ire?
land, then introduced Bio Irish bill. He !
said the government's policy was the
same as in ISy.i, but for simplicity the
bill h?d been cut in half. Both por?
tions, however, were practically the
same as the bill of lss-.t.
, One variation of the present bill from
that o? last year was t hat it met, in? I
some degree, t'arncll's views
I'arneU had suggested that the privil?
ege of purchase be confined to tenants
whose boltings were under tifty pounds
valuation. Though ho (llnlfo?r) could
not aeeopt exactly that limitation, he
had altered the scope of bill by exclud?
ing ail purely grazing farms and farms
whose tenants dill not reside on ti.vm.
Among other changes embodied ii the
new bill, one had reference to tha ob?
jection taken at the last session to a
limit of twenty years of purchase then
proposed. That limit did not appear in
the new hill (cries of '?Hear, Bear.")
Further power would be given the vice?
roy to extend the period of live years,
during which eight per cent, of the pur?
chase money was payable.
In regard to increasing the powers of
local authorities, Balfour said lie con?
sidered that tin* original proposal,
therefore in the bill, were best that
could be devised. Land purchase in
Ireland was not a local question at all.
The government was using the british
credit to cany out this vital reform, not
primarily for the benefit of this country
or that, hut Tor the benefit of the
enipiro as the whole (Conservative
cheers).
Another consideration was the fact
that the land question in Ireland was
largely used for political objects. It
would be absurd, therefore, to leave to
tbe communities under tbe intitemont
of agitators to determine whether they
should adopt the remedy going to the
root of their discontent (P?rnollitC/
laughter); if they wore to give the
local control in any form, it ought to be
by plebiscite of rate payers, enabling
t hem under the safeguard of the ballot
to vote upon a question of granting a
contingent portion of the guarantee
fund for each county.
Labouchere mov? d an amendment
against pledging imperial credit tor the
purchase ot land until the country
should have given it s .consent at the
general elect ion.
liubouohero's amendment was re?
jected by a vote of 208 to 11".
Gladstone, Sir William Vernon Bar
court and Morley walked out before the
vole was taken. l'arnell and all Par
noBitu members voted w ith tbo govern?
ment.
The bill was then given its lirst resil?
ing amid cheers of government support ?
ers.
