ALL KINDS OF THEORIES.
have been advanced for the collapse of the
building. In some instances the response
bility is plsced on the contractors, while
in Others the building inspectors are
blamed Nothing defuite can be known,
however, until the investigation is made,
and in the meantime, il would only be
iust to suspend Judgement. 1t is hard to
estimate the damage done at this time.
The cyclone wrought terrible destruc-
ton IN other parts Of the city, and out
along the railroads centering here. A
portion of the foundry OF Mcintosh, Hemp
hill & Co., on Thirteenth street, was
wrecked. az was also house in Allegheny
At Walls station, on the Pennsylvania
road, large brick building was PARTLY de-
mOlished.
At McKeesport, houses were unroofed,
trees blown down and windows smashed.
90 the rivers a number of boats were
torn f.Om their moorings, and cast about
like cork, but they were secured before
much damage was done. The velocity Of
the wind was fifty miles an hour, the
highest recorded for years. IL is still
blowing hard tonight, but is growing
colder, and the weather is clearing.
THE LIST OF DEAD IDENTIFIED,
up to IL o'clock was as follows: Samuel
Stringer, printer, 10 years; Thomas JOnee,
bricklayer; Charles Fritsch, l6 years;
George Mason, carpenter; cOlOred Roy
named Tergee, bootblsck in barber shop;
George Kirsch, barber, Is years. The
little girl McGlOne, is not dead rs pre-
viously stated, but is in a dangerous con-
dition.
The remains of one man have not yet
been identified. Inspector Of Police Alees
stated az late hour tonight that he was
of the opinion that from Is 10 p persons
were yet in the ruins, and he would not
be surprised il the death list would be in
creased 10 TO 20 more.
Up to midnight DO more victims had
been rescued. OF the thirty-fye injured,
six are in a dangerous condition and will
probably die.
