Terrible Calamity.
FALL OF A BROOKLYN BUILD.
ING-A EUMBER Or PERSONS
KILLED AND MANNED.
RETREAT CUT OFF.

BROOKLYN May 6-Shortly after 8 o..
clock this morning there WAS . crash
at No. So Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn,
and people on looking up from the street
saw that the roof Of the building had
fallen in and that portion of the walls
had fallen. They could hear the screams
of people injured, and II seemed but .
moment when q volume Of smoke
rolled up showing that the building
men, women and girls were at work at
the various branches of business car.
ried on in the building, which covers
considerable ground, having three
wings, end which extend through from
Atlantic to State street. As soon rs the
crash was heard Of the falling roof,
hundreds Of those employed In the
building fed or endeavored to make
their way out by every evenue of escape
with which they were familiar, and
some who were the last to reach the
street appeared with begrimed faces
and blood streaming from wonn ds
which they had received from falling
timbers.
The excitement in tho neighborhooc
became very great, and in q short time
the wives Of the men who were known
to be working in the building and the
parents Of the girls who were employed
there. blocked the streets and wrung
their hands and wept. Three alarms
Of fire were sent out and the service O
| q large number Of the police force had
to be called into revuisition to keep the
crowd Of people out Of the way of dan
ger.
1t was reported ut FIRST that about 100
girls were employed in Milo Hynes'
button works, which was on the ton
floor of the building where the roof
fell In, were killed. but there are other
reports that most Of these girls made
their escape by climbing ON the roofs of
the adjoining tenement houses.
| The building was occupied by twenty
small manufacturers, and there were
about 500 men and women employed
therein.
1t was Ave stories high and erected
twenty-seveu years age, the woodwork
burning like tinder. When the FIRE.
men arrived they found many Of the
ing wildly for help. Their retreat had
been cut of, and the fremen quickly
ran up the ladders. but the girls were
hemmed in and many fell back Into the
flames before help could reach them.
Thescause Of the fire was the over
turning of the boilers of q soap factory
on the second floor. The west wall OF
the middle wing on Atlantic street had
settled. Workmen were screwing 1t ur
on the jacks ; the middle jack had beer
screwed up too high and It was lower
ed, when the whole weight of the wal
came upon the two jacks at the end ,and
i 1t fell with a crash.
When the wall that was lacked ur
7 fell, a number Of workmen were al
: work at 1t. They have not been seen
since. Two women were taken from
the second floor by firemen, who had
raised ladders to the State street build
ling.

there are at least % people in the ruins

recognition.

of the provinces, to arbitrary and oppressive
restrictions, and among others, to limita-
ton of time. In some cases the permitted
period of residence has been limited to a
few months, after which if the prescribed
individual remains in the country his
privilege of exemption is forfeited, and he is
liable to full military duty. 1t is said, by
those best qualified to judge, that if it could
be done without rupturing the peace OF
the two countries, Bismarck would enforce
against the German-Americans all the des-
potic regulations adopted against the Poles.
1t is this persistent infringement of the
Bancroft treaty which has brought about
the pending negotiations between Minister
Pendleton and the German Government. 1t
is said to be the purpose of this Government,
to demand the strict construction OF, and
strict conformity to, the terms of the Ban
croft treaty. 1t is certain that nothing less
will satisfy public opinion in America.

RESURRECTION CASE,
Temperance of Young Man Supposed to
Have Been Dead.

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. lin regard to the
Cape Elizabeth resurrection case, reported
in yesterdays dispatches, meager particulars
have been learned, although strenuous eff
forts have been made to trace young Dyers
parents. The family did 1--we in Cape Eliza
beth, but are now said to be in Deering,
some miles from the city. The story of
young Dyer's resurrection comes from
Blanche Edwards, a domestic employed
by Harry Brown, an artist on Danforth
street. She affirms the truth of the story in
every particular. She says that she attended
the funeral in September, 1884: saw Dyer in
his coffin; went in the procession to the
Evergreen Cemetery, but did not see the
coffin put In the grave. She wore mourning
for the deceased until two weeks ago when
friends told her that Dyer was coming back.
She was told that Dyer's mother had taken
off her mourning Friday night. The par
ents went secretly to the cemetery, dug up
the coffin and took il home. They proceeded
to open the coffin and found nothing in it.
In few moments Dyer appeared at the door
and was greeted with rapture by his par
ents.
Dyer came to see Blanche on Saturday
at first, and appeared strange. Mr. Browns
family saw the young man. and corroborated
Blanche, as far as they knew. On Monday
Blanche says that young Dyer, with two
young doctors, came to see her. Dyer said
to the doctors; you tell her all about it,"
The doctors then told her that they had Dyer
under care for several months and cured him.
One doctor was friend of the family, and
was at the funeral. He said that he was inn
pressed with the belief that Dyer was not
dead, and after the funeral dug open the
grave. took the body and worked on it, and
after long time obtained signs of life. He
says the doctors names are Harmon. of Al
bany, n. Y. and Foster, of New York.
Blanche has a sister who works at the
Home for Aged Men in this city, who cor
roborates the story in every par
ticular. The whole truth can not be
learned until Dyer himself and his parents
are found, and it is impossible to reach them
at present.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

THE 'grand old garment will prove the
winding-sheet of the Republican party if it
is not put out of sight.-Boston Herald.
COLONEL PAT DoNAN, speaking for Dakota,
says that the hourishing Territory can ac-
commodate 10000 girls with husbands at
ninety days notice. So can China.
IT is one of the greatest benefits of Cleve-
lands election that it has not only freed
Northern whites from their fears. of South
ern domination" but that il has also eman-
cipated Southern blacks so that they are be-
ginning to divide their votes between the
parties like real freemen.-New York Even
ing Post.
OHIO has confessedly the worst election
laws. the fiercest partisanship, the most dan
gerous mobs and the most INSCRIPTIONS
leaders in the Union. Let her look to her
self.-Atlanta Constitution.
THE New York Tribune, printed in a city
where seamstresses get seven cents for max
ing a shirt, is moved to high-tariff scorn
against Glasgow manufacturer. who pays
girls fifty cents for fifty hours work.
THE Boston Herald well says: sit is the
greatest piece of humbuggery and effrontery
ever played upon the American people for
the Republican leaders to ask for return
to power to look after the poor negroes
ENGLISH railroad employees are frightfully
overworked. Seventy hours week is quite
a common thing. A guard worked 1917
hours in twelve days while an engine driver
made 1859 hours in one week; and one case
is given in which fireman actually worked
thirteen days in week.
BETWEEN the Blaine men upon one side
and the stalwarts upon the other, ready to
stab their candidates in the back, the Repub-
lican party in the State of New York can
hardly expect to win in another election un-
til the generation now active in politics has
passed away.-New York Times.
THE Maquoketa (Ia.) Sentinel says: "More
liquor was sold in Iowa last year by one
third than ever was sold any year before.
There are more LIQUOR sellers by a large per
cent than have taken out Government
licenses before, and some of the secret sell
ers are selling without Government license"
HoN. JOIN p. ST. JOHN makes a reasonable
prophecy when he declares that the Repub-
lican party will never win another national
victory. But the reason he gives that mo
party can live which burns its opponents in
effigy for opinions sake" does not quite
cover the case. The trouble with the g. o. p.
is that it is as rotten as sin, and has no liv-
ing principle to sustain it. 1t has run its
kl.a
Wing party, did. The Democratic party,
which fought and survived Whiggery, will
also survive Republicanism, because the
spirit which animates it is the spirit of the
Constitution, and so long as the Gov
eminent lasts Democracy must last.-Brook-

Peculiar Case ofPoisoning,

SAN FRANCIsco, Nov. 11.-What has now
the appearance of being peculiar case of
poisoning is beginning to attract public at
tention. Mrs. Cecilia Bowers, the wife of
Dr. J. Milton Bowers, died on the
night of November 1. Her life was
insured in various organizations for
ST., 900 in favar of her husband. 1t was given
out that she died from an abscess of the
liver. Hurried preparations were made for
her burial, but before it took place an I'M
known person called at the Coroners office
and stated reasons why he suspected the wo-
man had been poisoned by persons inter
ested in obtaining the insurance on her life.
On the strength of further develope-
ment the husband was arrested.
The stomach and intestines of Mrs. Bowers
were placed III the hands of DR.. Johnston for
an analysis In his report at the Coroners
inquest he states he has no hesitation in as
serting that the cause of Mrs. Bowers death
was poisoning from phosphorus. DR.. Bow
ers treats the matter indifferently, and says
he will have no difficulty in generating
himself from any suspicion of having caused
his wifes death.

beating. The mob numbered fifteen men,
thirteen of whom carried small arms, wore

been discharged from the Penitentiary and
were employed by the Tennessee Coal Iron
and Railroad Company. On reaching Ca

Ward in Sing Sing.

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-Ward spent his third
SUNDAY in Sing Sing Prison in an uneventful
way. He followed out the daily prison rou-
tine. going to the chapel in the forenoon; af-
ter service he went TO his cell with his days
rations under his arm. DIR. Barbour. the
prison physician, says Ward is improving in
strength and is not the broken-down person
that some OF the reporters have pictured
him. He is employed in selecting castings
for the store contract The work is light.
He has made only one call upon the Doctor
since he has been there, and that was al
ter he had been there few days. He com
planned of lame back. The Doctor gave
him a plaster and since then he has re-
quired no further treatment. Ward says he
is being treated well and has no complaint
to make. Principal Keeper Connaughton
says that Ward has seen no reporter since he
entered the prison. 1t was his special re.
quest when he was admitted that no reporter
be permitted TO see him, and his request has
been rigidly respected. He eats and sleeps
well and the change in his mode OF life
seems TO come more natural to him. He is
less awkward about his work and appears to
to readily adapt himself to the situation.
