Fifty People Plunged Down Inte
a Cellar at Columbus.
Thore Was a Display of Fire-Works
in Ohie's Capital.
A rrirtlrtti "of a Sidewalk fllven Way and
Soen the Air I Kent With Piercing
Crip nnil (ireutis Unfnrtu
Hilten llndly Crushed.
Cei.umiius, 0., Sept. 10. Fully 30,000
people, citizens and visitors, gathered
in the stute-house yanl, Thursday
night, te witness the display of fire fire
werlts piven by the beard of trade en
the cast front of the capltel.
When the exhibition was ever a gen
eral rush was made for High street te
take the curs far various parts of the
city. That thoroughfare between
Bread and State streets was seen liter
ally packed with people, surging te and
fro ns the crowd was augmented from
cither side. In the midst of this natural
excitement the crash was heard next te
tlie Nell heuRc. The immediate cause
of the accident was singular as it was
trivial.
Jnn.s Leach, a crippled boy whose
home w in Plcasantvllle, O., and who
makes a living by entertaining street
crowds by whistling and imitating
birds and fowls, thinking te catch a
few nickels from crowds as they left
the fire works, took up a position in
front of Smythe's book store, in the
Nell block and just south of the Nell
house entrance.
He settled himself en the glass grat
ing near the building, and as seen as
he began his performance the crowd
was attructcd tewurd him. He was im
mediately surrounded by a multitude
of men, women and children. In an in
stant there was n creaking, and then nn
awful crush. The sidewalk ever Iho
extended cellar had given way, and half
a hundred souls wcre dropped eight feet
below', 'A fearful scream went up from a
thousand threats as of ene man, fol
lowed by the groans and screams of
the peer victims. A .black hole twenty
feet long and six feet wide, lllled with
writhing beings, was here, where a mo
ment bofei-o joy and pleasure reigned.
The most vivid imagination can net ex
aggerate the horrors of the scene. The
crowd en the verge of the pit surged
baek, while these in the rear pushed
forward, and for a moment it
seemed that a huge mass of hu
manity was te be piled ene
upon unether until the hole was filled.
Ofllccra in the vicinity made their way
te the scene with dlfllculty. The patrol
wagon was summoned, but it was sev
eral moments before a rope could be
stretched te kcep the crowd from
tumbling in. Then the work of rescue
began. Dozens of willing hands hur
ried through the store, procured lights
and reached the victims from within.
One after the ether the injured wcre
pulled out and carried back Inte the
apartments under the store.
These who wcre last te go down es
caped with slight bruises, but the un
fortunates underneath were cut,crushed
and battered up, many having broken
arms and legs, with ugly cuts from
which bleed flowed profusely. In the
awful heap wcre old and young,
children and women nnd men. Mnny
of the children were but slightly hurt,
and as seen as light came scampered
back Inte the store and tip the stairs
like se many frightened rats.
There were many victims, however,
who could net move, pinned te the
ground and against the wall by huge
pieces of grating. The most seriously
injured was James Leech, the cripple.
His deformed and shriveled legs, almost
useless at best, were both broken, ene
of them in four places, and both arms
badly fractured in four places. Ills face
and head were cut in a dozen places,
and there were ugly bruises all ever his
body. The peer fellow's injuries are
considered fatal. Twe or three ethers
will probably dle from their Injuries.

CAITAIN JAMES 11EFL1N
Succumbs te Heart Disease The Kiul of n
Vnlunlile hire.
Captain James Ilcflln, the head of the
police force In this city, died Inst night
shortly after 1 o'clock at his home en the
comer of Market and Fourth streets.
Ills death was sudden and apparently
without mental or physical suffering.
He had spent the clay in Cincinnati yes
tcitlay where lie had gene te confer with
the Health authorities of that city in
regard te devising menus for the mutual
protection of the two cities against the
cholera. Thus his last day was spent
as had been" the greater portion of his
matured life, looking te the welfare of
the city and the people whom he loved.
He aril veil home en the 8 o'clock train,
spent the test of the evening at the meet
ing of the City Council and at the thea
ter, nnd In conversation with friends and
physicians upon the one subject that was
uppermost in his thoughts that of pre
paration for the evil which threatens the
whole land.
He was rcnlly the chief factor in the
piecniitienary measures te he nuclei taken
and he fully realized the responsibility.
Te day would have found him at the
front with nil his untiring nnd impulsive
energy.
He anived at his home about midnight
and immediately letlred. There was noth
ing in Ills leek te cause alarm, hut in prepar
ing for bed he seemed te he almost worn
out and his wife inose te assist hlin. HIb
breathing was unnatural, but this was
attributed te his exhausted condition
caused by the unusual cxeiliens of the
day.
After letiring he seemed te fall asleep
almost immediately. His heavy breath
ng caused his wife te he uneasy nnd It
Anally became se labored that she
attempted te arouse him' This she was
unable te de, and becoming thoroughly
alarmed she called her eldest seu and he
hastily ran for Dr. Owens, a short dis
tance nway. Hy the time Dr. Owens
in rived at the house the gallant Captain
was dead.
His death was caused by heait tumble,
from which he has been a sitlTcicr for
many years. The excitement and worry
of the day Just passed had probably an
injurious elTcct.
In the death of Captain Ilellin Mays
ville sulTcred an irreparable less. This Is
said with no effort te exaggerate, nor in
anticipation of the incapacity of any one
who limy succeed him in an elllcial ca
pacity. Fer the elllcc which he has se long and
solieuniahly filled he bail an especial fit
ness. In the. line of feuding nut crime
and bringing the cilmlnals te Justice he
was eminently .successful. Ills acquaint
mice with the criminal fiateiniiy was
varied and remarkable. Ne police etllccr
In the Ohie Valley was mere fenred or
dreaded by the worst elements of man
kind. While it was as a public elllcer that he
was best and most favorably known he
wns none the lessnppreclnted ns a private
citizen and a friend. Ocncinus and kind
hearted, nnd of a warm, Impulsive nature,
he was ever ready te de n kind net for
any one who would ask the favor. In his
long nnd eventful public, career, he, of
course, became involved in strife and dis
agreements, and like nil ether mortals he
may hnve made mistakes, but in this hour
of death nil friends nnd enemius will, in
ene voice, pay tribute te Ills worth.
James ilellin was born in tills city en
July 4th, 1845, nnd wns therefeiu just n
little ever 17 ycnis of nge. All of his
boyhood wns spent in ids native city.
On the 2d day of February, 1801, he en
listed ns n piivate in Company H.,
Eleventh Kentucky Cnvnlry. On Mnreh
12th of the same year he wns promoted
te he a Sergeant. In June 1605 he wits
trnnsferred te Cempnny K., of the same
regiment. He was distinguished through
nut his whole soivice for his gallantry
nnd heroism. He was a participant in
mnny warm engagements with the enemy
nnd was conspicuous for the bravery
which in all his life wns ene of his most
prominent virtues.
In 1872 he wns elected City Murslinl of
Mnysville. With the exception of four
years, three of which he wns n Deputy
United Stntes Mnrshnt, and the ether en
the polices feicc, hu has held this elllcc.
Thus for sixteen years he lias had prnctl
cnl control of police affairs iu lids city.
In nil that time lie was never known te
waver in ills duty. His imme will always
be held in the city ler which he has done
se much In revciencc mid esteem.
Such is a hiief sketch of his life, be
tween every line of which could he writ
ten n paragraph te his cicdlt.
The funeral will tnke plnce Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Third

COUNCIL AND CHOLERA.
Cincinnati te Act in Concert With Our
Lecnl Health Olllcinls.
Theio was a called meeting of the City
Council last night, presided ever hy W.
II. Wadsworth, Jr., the object of which
was te consider measures for the preven
tion of the Introduction of chelera.
It wns stated that Cincinnati hnd tnken
the Initiative, nud Hint Dr. Prcndcrgnst,
Hcnlth Ofllcer of Hint city, was anxieiw
te coepcrato with Mnysville ir nn effort
te stay the march of the pestilence.
Dr. C. C. Owens, City Physicinn, who
had Just returned fiem n conference with
the Cincinnati authorities, briefly out
lined the plan te be adopted Hint Cin
cinnati would furnish, nt her own ex
pense, ns many physicians nnd ns in any
policemen as might be necessnry te n
thorough inspection of all incoming
trains, only asking that Maysvillc furnish
a similar number of each, the entire
corps te be under the direction of the
local authorities.
The ferce operating from tills point is
te meet all C. ami O. trains, at Spring
dale, and all K. C. trains nt n point
snlllciently dlstnnt from the city te allow
a thorough examination of passengers
nnd hnggnge before the trnin reaches the
city.
Il is net intended te mnke n "dumping
ground" of Mnysville; but If nny train
cariics a passenger who is destined for
tliis city and who Is sick witli cholera he
must net be permitted te enter the city,
but must be tnken elT the train nt some
iselntcd point nnd placed in n hospital te
bu provided by the CifV Physician and
the County Heard of Hcnlth, the lntter
repiesenting the Stnte Heard of Health.
If tiny passenger destined for ether
points he sick, It will be the duty of the
health elllcials te isolate him from the
ether passengers en the train and te
notify the efllcers at his point of destina
tion te be prcpnrcd te receive nnd care
for him en his arrival.
Tills system will be adopted along the
entile line of the C. and O. Railroad
between New Yerk nnd Cincinnati,
everywhere the Cincinnati elllcials being
under the direction and subject te the
eiders of the local authorities.
In general, passengers for Cincinnati
and Western points who may be stricken
will be cared for nt Cincinnati, where
ample prevision hns nl ready been made.
If the person he tee sick te proceed
further, the lecnl authorities nre free te
dispose of him ns they think best.
At the meeting Inst night there were
present nearly all the physicians in the
city nnd n goodly number of citizens,
and before flnnl action wns tnken the
matter was pretty fully nnd freely dis
cussed by Dr. J. I. Ilenar, representing
the Cincinnati Heard of Health; Dr. O.
C. Owens, City Physicinn; Drs. Themas
E. Pickett nnd II. K. Adnmsnn of the
County Heard of Health and Dr. Gcerge
M. Phillips. Dr. S. M. Cartmcll of the
County Heard and Dr. J. T. Strode were
present also.
After a discussion by the members of
Council, the City Physician was empow
ered te appoint nn assistant if necessnry,
nnd these, in conjunction witli the County
Heard of Health and the local police,
supplemented by the Cincinnati efllcers,
weie given full power te pievlde hospital
accommodations and te dispose of the
sick persons as the exigencies of the case
might require
As a further precautionary measure,
the City Marshal was Instructed te notify
nil persons thnt garbage and kitchen offal
must be deposited in bnrrels or boxes
nnd te provide enrts for hnuling this te n
beat te be procured for the purpose, that
it might be thrown into the river at a
safe distance from the shore.
Captain O. M. Phlstcr of the fMitranee,
who was prescnt, generously ogrced te
tow this beat te mid-stream free of cost.
This extra nnd gratuitous service en
Captain Phlster's part may disarrange
his ncros8-the-rlvcr trips somewhnt; but
we belleve the people of Abordcen, with
the geed of the citizens en both sides of
the river at heart, will second his efforts
te prcserve the public health.

cinnati, two very intelligent gentlemen
who are here te assist our authorities,
nnd the examination of nil trains began
this morning nnd will continue ns long as
the danger lnsts.
It is due te the railroad authorities te
say that they nre in full sympathy with
the movement, linving issued nil necessary

This is the story of the steamship

Thursday night and anchored In the

Her coming has been dreaded as much
as the coming of her sister ship and
