A FALLING WALL.
Terrible Accident at the Ruins of a
New York Mill.
One Woman Killed and Several Men
Terribly Injured.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-When the Empire Mills
at Nos. 21 to % Bethune street were burned
Wednesday week the front and a part Oh lne
side walls remained standing. They were lnspec-
ted and declared sound, but orders had Deeh
given to brace the walls with six stout braces
This was Deing done to-day and four were IN
place. Men from Engine Co. NO. 1S were throw
ing water on the still smoking ruins wnlle a
squad of laborers had begun to remove the debris
piled up within the inclOsure OF the dangerous
wall The street was fenced off on both SIDES oi tne
building to prevent strangers from approaching,
but despite this a number of boys were running
back and forth picking kindling wood, also MIS-;
Mary kohn young married woman VINO lNed
across the way from the mills was picking up
kindling wood Suddenly the front wall of the
mill gave way and fell. 1t is probable that the
w0rkmen pulled something upon its base inside
and SO caused the collapse. There were hall
dozen laborers there and none had any warning
until the patter of falling bricks made them look
up when they saw the top of the tall wall swaying
and bending inward, and before they could save
themselves by fight the top had fallen upon them
while the centre was forced out and thrown into
the street. The firemen outside saved themselves
by hasty fight likewise the boys picking up
wood several of whom had narrow escapes. Mrs.
Kohn was not so fortunate. She was caught
squarely under the falling mass and was buried
beneath a heap of broken stones. Twenty
minutes later when she was dug out she was
dead.
Ambulances were quickly at hand and the work
of exhuming the buried wOrkmen was prosecuted
with great vgor When al the TSandea you had peea zen

THE BROOKLYN AND TITANIC.
Particulars of the Loss of the TWO
Steamers.

QUEBEC, Nov. 19.-Steamship Napoleon l IL
with the passengers of the wrecked steamship
Brooklyn has arrived here. Capt. Dale reports
the Brooklyn left Liverpool on the goth Of Octo-
ber arriving at Belle Isle on the 7th inst and at
$40 p M, she passed through the Straits making
Greeyly Island Light she took her departure from
there and shaped her course for Heath Point. The
weather. after leaving Greeyly became thick, and
a heavy snow Estorm set in Sunday, at 6.45 p. m.
Suddenly he made out something ahead, and stop
ped and went full speed astern, but before way
was off the ship took ground. The gale increas-
ing. the ship drove broadside to the sea.
We could not land until daylight, and we then
put all the passengers on the beach and rugged
tents ETC., and provided provisions for them, and
then organized party to go to Heath POINT, and
went with them myself, but owing to the heavy
snow and the night coming on, we could make
nothing out, and so we returned. The next morn
ing we started another expetdiiod @ Whlen arrived s
sage to Quebec for assistance The ship is still in
the same position. but full OF water. On the 18th
the Napoleon Ill arrived and took the passengers
and crew off the island and then took the furnl-
ture and movables from the ship. We left the ISL
and on the 14th.
Can't Mclean reports that the Titanic, of the
Donaldson line, left Glasgow on the oath of 0cto-
ber While passing through the North Channel, a
southeast gale came on, with thick mist and driz-
Zling rain. AT 6.l5 a. M. on the Sd, the snip
struck violently on Carleton Point, an island OF
Antcosti. Immediately we despatched the chief
officer and boats crew TO the west point OF the
island, to telegraph for assistance where they ar
rived the same night. In the meantime every
thing was done to try and float the steamer. We
succeeded in running out two anchors and also
iettisoned large portion of the cargo to tighten
the steamer, but owing to a heavy easterly gale
that sprang up on the 9Th it was impossible to
float her. as the sea at that time was rolling clear
over the steamer, fore and ait, and was filling her
everywhere with water. The crew were exposed
to great danger, and suffered much from expos
ure, but behaved well and worked manfully
throughout. On Wednesday. the 11th inst, the
steamer Relief came to our assistance, but too
late to save the steamer. They did their utmost
to pump the Titanic out which was found impos-
sible as the water in the holds rose and fell with
the ebb and flow of of the tide. On the 14th inst.
another heavy gale sprang up from the eastward,
which exposed the steamer to great danger, and
obliged us to leave her and go to Quebec. 1t is
understood here that the wreck has been aban-
dnned

DANIEL WILKINSON.
William Lawrence's Murderer to be
Hung at Thomaston Today.

THoMAsToN Nov 19-Daniel Wilkinson, the
burglar who to avert arrest, shot officer William
Lawrence through the head at Bath, on the night
of Sept. Sd, 1888, and who will be hung tomor-
row, occupies the same cell that Carmine Santore,
the Italian murderer. was in up to the time of his
hanging. Wilkinson is about 80 years old. He
was born in England near London, and came to
this country when but fifteen years old. In 1866
he was sent to the Maine State prison for burgla-
ry, and completed his sentence in 1872 He has
been reported as the son of an English clergyman,
but this he denies, and says his parents are living
but that he has not heard from them for four
years He is of the Church of England religious
ly. Rev. Frederick Towers, of st. John the Bap-
tist church. is his spiritual adviser.
This evening Wilkinson is calm. He eats well
and has slept well since he has been taken from
the shop and placed in the solitary CELL He says
that if he was not an alien he would not be hung,
and lays great stress on this point. Heis evident
ly somewhat nervous when talking to others, and
his laugh. although pleasant, is hardly natural.
He evidently will meet death with fortitude
There is but very little said in regard to his
hanging, save that all think that if Blaney and
Mrs. Barrows are to be reprieyed Wilkinson
should receive Like fair treatment, and that his
crime was not premeditated one, as was that of
the Kittery murderers. The gallows is finished.
1t is the one used for Santore and Capone, and is
situated under cover, between the carriage and
harness shops. Wilkinson's actual name is not
known. In fact it is in oblivion and probably
never will be known.

BOSTON vIcTlMIzED.
unraveIing a Great SWindling Scheme
in Canada.

MONTREAL, Nov. ia large and profitable
swindle by means of forged bills of lading has just
been unearthed at st. Johns, Quebec. st. Johns
is the centre for the export of hay into the United
States and thousands of tons are shipped daily
over the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk lines
to Boston, New York and other large cities. In
many instances the shippers would draw upon
their agents in New York and Boston without any
advice notes being sent, and as the st. Johns
houses were well and respectfully connected, their
drafts were accepted on the bills OF lading being
attached and the money paid over at the agencies
Of the Jacques Cartier Bank or some other French
bank, either in New York or Boston. 1t now ap-
pears that within the last few weeks forged bills
Of lading purportng to be drawn by Don Lefe6re on
& Co. of ST. Johns, representing about $4,000,
have been issued, indorsed and accepted by their
Boston and New York agents and advances to a
large amount paid on them to the parties working
the swindle The firm Of Emerson, Edy 8 Co. OF
Boston have been yictimized to the extent x l 2! Of
New York to a similar amount and numerous
other hay dealers throughout the New England
States. Detectives are at work on the case, and
today French Canadian named Homiesdas
Bordreau was arrested on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the swindle.

church-The House to be closed.

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-A meeting Of the Bowdoin
Square church society was held this evening, at
which the following was unanimously passed;
Whereas, the society is satisfied from recent
developments in the courts of the Commonwealth
and otherwise that Rev. W. W. Downs has been
guilty of grossly immoral conduct, and that his
character and reputation are such as to unfit him
for the pastoral Office and to render 1t eXpedlent
that all the relations between him and this society
be dissolved.
Voted, That by reason of such conduct, charac
ter and reputation said Downs be and hereby is
dismissed from the office of minister of this so
ciety and from the employ of the society.
Voted, That the standing committee be directed
to cause the meeting house OF this society to be
closed for public worship forthwith at the close of
this meeting and until such time as they shall see
fit to open the same for such worship, and to take
all needful measures to remove and exclude all
persons therefrom.
Notice of the above action was served upon
Rev Mr.. Downs, who was in his study at the
church. and he shortly afterward took his depar-
ture. He states the society's action was Illegal
and was a surprise to him. and that his future
course is as yet undecided upon. New lccks have
been placed upon the church doors and tonight
several policemen are stationed about the place.
which has been besieged by crowds of people who
had come for the purpose of attending the revival
