wives wept frantically, as the bodies were re-
moved. People gathered in knott In the village
Of Geddes, or hurried to the sceIe of the casual
ty. Business was almost entire6 suspended in
the village and the place looked as if stricken by
a panic. 1t was fully five minutes after the
co lapse before the dust cleared away sufficiently
so that the debris could be viewed. The weight
of the falling bricks was SO great that they
forced out of the openings III the furnace, and
crowded several feet into the space around it.

of the furnace, which is sixteen feet in diameter
and sixty feet high. A small scaffold was
ACROSS the furnace at height of eight feet from
the ground. 1t is said by MIR. Gere, manager of
the company, that it was known that the lining
was in a dangerous condition, and that he
warned the men before they went in The fell

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.--Fourteen branch

At the Office of the Baltimore & Ohio company

ness is at a standstill. President Chanley,
of Il branch of the brotherhood
Of telegraphers sends to the press q circular
addressed to the public in which he calls atten-
ton to the impression which he says has been
given to the extent that the executive board of
telegraphers inexorably. insists upon all or
nothing, and that the strikers therefore are re-
SOON >ible for the inconv enience which the pub
lie is suffering. This, he says, is an erroneous
impression, as the board has always been ready
to consider proposals having in view settle
ment of the difficulties, but thus far
the telegraph companies have positively
refused to recognize the board as representa-
tives of their employees, when events of
the past few days have clearly shown that the
board does represent the telegraphers Of the
country. A satisfactory adjustment of the diff
tculties it is claimed would be arrived at If the
several corporations would recognize and treat
with the executive board chosen by the tele-
graphers for that purpose.

General Ord Dead.


Gen. e. O. G. Ord, U. s. A., who took passage
on the steamer City of Washington at Vera Cruz
for New York, and was taken with the yellow
fever, compelling his removal to the shore while
the vessel was here, died last evening 1T
O'Clock.
General Ord vas born in Allegheny county,
MARYLAND, in 1885, and entered the army from
the military academy in July, 1889. He served
through the Mexican war and was breveted for
eallantry at the battle of Buena Vista second
lieutenant of the Third artillery. He was pro-
NOTED to be a first lieutenant in 184l and cap
tain in 1850 In November, 1861, he became
major of tho Fourth artillery, having previously
accepted commission as brigadier general OF
volunteers, in which service he was promoted to
be major general the following year, and COM
manded the Pennsylvania reserves through many
a hard fight in 1866, participating in the capture
of Lee. At the close of the war he was made full
briRxdie, general in the army. and in 1851 was
placed on the retired list as major general by
a special act of congress. Ills record during the
war was a brilliant one, and the service which he
rendered was not suffered to pass without recog-
milton. he was DIeVEtCcN AeuIeA"Ao SoAoAASA
for gallantry at Dramsville, Va, in 1861, one OF
the first battles of the war. and his bravery at
the battles of Iuka and the Hatchie in the Mis-
sissippi campaign gained for him the brevets of
colonel and brigadier general. He also took
part in the Wilderness campaign, and in the
final struggle near Richmord gaining the brevet
of major general for his part in the assault on
Fort Harrison, Va, For several years before
his retirement he was in command OF the depart
ment of Texas, with headquarters at San Anto-
Mo, where he was able to preserve the most
cordial relations with the Mexican authorities
and to receive their cooperation in the suppress
zion of lawlessness and the maintenance OF peace
on the borelere. The marriage of his daughter
with General Trevinos, the Mexican minister OF
war. in 1880, is still fresh in the minds Ut all.
Gen. Ord was brave and an excellent soldier,
modest withal; he bore his honors meekly. and
his noble, generous disposition endealed him to
= large circle of friends. A wound received IN
one of the later Virginia campaigns troubled
him physically to the time Of his death, but
never was allowed to ruf1e the serenity of his
temper. 5sF5 5 ..=t.aazy s-tg.

of Manager Warren and q con Of each of chiefs
Young and Bender. The six discharged opera
tors have gone to the associated press tonight
with their story of the circumstances leading up
to their dismissal. They said that at the time
the striking operators left off they did not go
with them because they we're not members OF
the brotherhood and though they had discussed
the reasons for the strike and were in sympathy
with the strikers they had not decided what
they should do. Appeals were made to them by
the brotherhood to come out. Up to last Sat
urday they hal not determined what they would
do. On Saturday afternoon a notice was posted
in the Western Union offices informing hose at
work that double pay for the time they worked
would be given all those whose names were found
on the pay roll at the end Of the month. This
being looked on as a direct attempt to br1be
them and as result Of the indignation with
which it was received seven Of them drew up and
signed paper in which they pledged themselves
that unless reasonable concessions were made to
the brotherhood by Thursday, July 26, at noon,
thew would withdraw their services from the
company.

Capt. Matthew Webb the English swimmer.
lost his life Tuesday in an attempt to swim
through the Niagara Whirlpool. The captain
left Buffalo Tuesday morning accompanied by
his business manager, Kyle, of Boston. At four
o'clock he was rowed to the center of the river
near the old landing place Of the Maid of the
Mist, about third of a,mile above the railway
suspension bridge He was entirely nude save
q band around the body, worn to protect the
stomach. No artificial icontrivance was used.
The crowd ,wss small, there being not more than
500 spectators along the banks. The railroads
and hotels had refused to cooperate with him
and the enterprise was }15ra ag
a FAILURE FINANCIALLY.
When he sprang boldly into the current and
headed down stream, cheer after cheer rent the
AIR. The captain buoyed himself skillfully and
gracefully upon the surface, and maintained
perfect control over his movements while shoot
ing the rapids. The spectacle was thrilling.
Such an exhibition Of Datatorial prowess was
never before viewed. = In thirteen minutes the
mile and q quarter bet ween the starting point

realized. Webb was forty years of age, and
