known Number of People Killed,

BALTIMORE, May 30.-A terrible accident oc
Cured at Hooper's building, No. 81 South Gay
street, at , o'clock this afternoon, by which
several persons are known to have been crushed
to death. The weight of the cotton stored in
the building caused its collapse. When the
front Of the building fell in, three or four per
sons were in the counting room and four in the
shipping Office, and there were at least fifteen or
twenty in front of the store house. The fire
men and police are busily engaged in moving
the debris in order to get the people out. The
body of Mart II. Linthicum, cashier of the
house, has been found packed in between several
barrels. 1t was impossible to reach him.
Up to I o'clock this evening only the bodies of
LinthioUm and a colored boy. J. f. Bowen, had
been recovered. In addition to those already
named, Edward Bowen, a colored porter, Is in
the wreck, VIM. II. Corkeran. a clerk, was
caught under the timbers, but was little injured.
Dugdale d Long, fertilizers, occupied the
front of the building on the second floor, and
Benjamin Greenwood, Gildea Hook and Ken
meth McLea, employees, are known to have been
there whenthe crash came. Greenwood reached
q window and was rescued without serious iii
jury. Hook and McLea are still under the
debris. the whole of which is filed with gas from
broken pipes. The building was supposed to be
one of the most substantial in the city, with
heavy side walls and blue-stone front.
1t had been occupied for several years by VIM.
f. Hooper Il Sons, cotton goods manufacturers
and an immense stock was stored on the five
floors. On which floor the break occurred is act
known. all are down from the front to within
about %fourfeet of the rear, which opens on Fred
erick street. The counting room is in the rear
of the first floor, and most of the people were
there when the break occurred. One half of the
upper front floor was thrown down and the re
mainder so broken and pushed out that it is eX-
pected to fall at any moment. The warehouse
was built about twenty-five years ago, and was
long used as q tobacco warehouse. The ground
was filled in, having been once the river shore.
The foundation is said to have settled down. and
the immense weight of the goods vas the cause
of the calamity.
