MORE ABOUT THE DISASTER.
Physicians think that five Of the nine
men injured by the fall of the building
on West Eleventh street this morning,
will recover. A large gang of labOrers
are at work clearing away the debris,
and in addition to the killed and wound
ed wOrkmen taken from the ruins, have
recovered the mangled body of boy.
The building was being changed from
s pork-packing establishment into a
tenement house. Criminal proceedings
are to be taken against the contractor,
to whose carelessness the fall of the
walls is attributed.

tonight on the South-Side railroad at
Waspeth, Long Island, by which one

THE TRIBUNE ON SENATOR CARPENTER.
The Tribune tomorrow will contain
an editorial in response to comments in
the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, rela-
tive to the charges recently made against
Senator Carpenter, from which the fol-
lowing is extracted: "FThese charges,
saws the Wisconsin, 'are too grave to
pass unnoticed,' and it adds, with a
truthfulness to which we bear cheerful
witness, so far the as Tribune is scOncerned,
that they are uttered by journals OF
ample pecuniaTy responsibility, and for
which they can be made to suffer most
severely if they have given currency to
reports which are false We hope
the Wisconsin is correct when it says:
The people demand that the senator Of
their choice should vindieate his charae-
ter There could not besa more reasonable
demand. We desire to be distinctly
understood. The Tribune makes no
charges that cannot be substantiated.
1t extenuates nothing, nor sets down
aught in defiance to which it cannot
make itself good"
