the bottom tier gave way and the six men
we're buried under 50, 900 brick. AT o'clock
several hundred people were gathered around
the stack, and every eaor. to secure the
bodies sfive or dead is being made. Work
is slow, being through about forty feet Of the
debris, but it is thought some Of the men
win be saved 1t is uncertain who are
alive, but some can be heard lmploring
help. Great excitement prevails. No one
had been rescued at o'clock, and it is
feared that at least three men are dead.
The burners which fell with the men are
about 100 feet high and 80 feet across.
The men were inside about 80 feet from the
ground repairing the brick walls when their
scduOiulnR gave way auu oIouSut uo"h t"O

Most of the men have families, who are

ously escaped any serious injury. Nearly all
of those killed were mangled beyond recog.
uition. The last man was taken from the
ruins at 9 o'clock. The terrible affair has
cast a gloom over the whole town. A
gang of men will work oil night to remove
the remaining debris, in search for others
