Terrible Accident.
HEw ioKK, April I3.-Eighi five story
houses m sixty second street, near
Tenth Asenue, fell in this afternoon,
buIying the men employed there. Mans
of the workmen are believed to be kill
cd, and the cries of the injured are
heard beneath the debris Imploring
help. Up to 40 p. IN. ten persons we're
taken from the ruins. They we're seri
ously bat not fatally injured, and we're
removed 70 the hospital. Gangs of men
are at work on the debris, as IL is feared
many others of the workmen are still
buried III the ruins. The buildings were
erected last winter, and were reported
by she building department as unsafe.
The vorkneh were engaged IN repair
ing defects in the houses At the time the
accident occurred. No mortar was
used In construction of the buildings,
l'he bricks being held in place by sand.
NEW YORK, April l4.-Gangs of men
lofked all night on the ruins of the
flleR tenements ia West sixty second
sseet. but turned mp nothing save
Dicks and broken timhers. No dead
orniured were foHud, and there are no
sibAs of life about the ragged heaps of
tue wreck. The iremen ore of the
0piton that there are bodies in the
tula. Inc hope grows stronger that
tins nay not be SO. Neither az the hos
pltaigF the police station had inquiries
been pade for the missing persons up
10 10 'oiock.
Ii vss easy enough to see the cause Of
the terrible accident in Sixty-seeopd
street yesterday. The buildings fell
becau'e there was simply nothing to
hold them together. Baddusick, the
ouildg of the tenements that fell, has
constructed block after block In the
neiRhtsrnood Of yesterdays accident.
Philip Hansman, the builder, said
The houses fell because they were
rotten. They we're built of refuse.
Look ID the bricks that were being
used they are net bricks, bat halves
and quarters and chunks Of bricks,
poorly burnt-the miserable Ohal Of a
briak yard. There Is no mortar ON
tkem at all !; the stuff used in laying
the bricks in the wall WAS simply wet
dirt
