The Syracuse Disaster.
Fourteen Persons Killed Outright.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, June A.--The Central
Baptist Church disaster proves to have been
fully as serious as telegraphed last night. The
bodies of fourteen persons who were killed are
recovered, and further search this morning
shows that this is the number killed outright.
Several persons are SO seriously injured that
they will probably die. The number of minor
: casualties is nearly or quite 10O and among
them about dozen with broken limbs and
ribs.
The cause of the disaster was the defective
construction of the building. The supporting
truss was composed of blocks spiked together.
The excitement in the community continues
very great.
Up to one o'clock this afternoon two adj
ditonal deaths had occurred. Several of the
injured will be crippled for life.

of gun shot injury of the arm. The injury was
so serious that there seemed almost no hope Of

arm was saved with impaired motion of course
on account of the extensive destruction of the
. muscular tissues.
