CAUGHT IN A WRECK.-The old armory
of the Eleventh Regiment, at Elm and
White streets, New York, has been used for
commercial purposes for some years, though
still owned By the city. Yesterday after
noon the gallery for thirty-two feet on one
side of the building collapsed and fell, car
rying down with it five heavy folding-ma-
chimes and about fifty girls and women.
Over two hundred girls and women were at
work at the time in the building, and they
fled panic.stricken to tho street. The scene
when the police and fremen arrived baffled
description. Men were trying to get at the
buried people, women were shrieking and
fainting, and shriek5 and means. of paiu
and cries of fright came from the
wreck. Blocks were rigged up, and tie
work Of removal began. The five heavy
folding machines had crashed to the floor of
the hall. The floor yielded, aud the mass
crashed through to the ground floor. Six
girls who had been working Ut the machines
went down in the wreck, all the way to
the ground floor. The rest managed to es
cape. Two of the six girls were uninjured,
though badly frightened. Mary Bagnell
lay dead, her hands cutching piece OF the
sheet she was holding when the crash came
Two other girls had fallen in sucn way
that the debris formed an arch over their
heads. They we're lot burt. The sixth,
Mrs. Mary Mcdonald, was badly bruised IN
one eye. She was taken home. The ma-
chimes which fell were valued st $4,000.
The cause of the accident was the over
weight on the gallery.
