Rev. Father Canevin, who was help
ing TO rescue the victims, narrowly
escaped being killed. Joseph
GOehring, an errand boy en-
ployed by Weldon & Co., was discovered
among the debris. He was heard to call
for drink of water, and Father CanevIn
and B Devlin got q tin of water. They
were about to let it down TO young
Goehring with n small gum hose when
partition fell i'll the rear of Weldon &
Co. Is store covering up Father Capevin
and three others. When Father Canevin
heard the wall crashing he
supposed he would be killed and
pushing Devlin aside he threw his arms
around the pillars so as to prevent the air
from being off from young Goehring.
Fortunately he was not much hurt and
when rescued he was able to go home I'M
assisted.
All kinds of theories have been adj
vanced for the collapse of the building.
Nothing definite can be known, however,
until an investigation is made. It is i'm
possible to estimate the damage done at
this time.
The cyclone worked terrible destruction
in other parts of the city and cut along
the railroads centering here. A portion
OF the foundry of Mcintosh, Hemphill &
Co. on Thirteenth street, was wrecked,
as was also a house in Allegheny. At
Wallis station on the Pennsylvania Rail
way, {. large brick building owned by the
Westinghouse Air Brake Company, was
partly demolished, and at Wilmarding,
Pa. a coal tipple was wrecked. At Me-
Keesport, houses were unroofed,
trees blown down and windows
smashed. Three houses i'll course of
erection were blown down. On the river
number of boats were torn from their
moorings and east about like cOrks, but
they were secured before much damage
was done.
The velocity of the wind was fifty miles
an hour, the highest recorded force, 1t
is still blowing hard tonight, but it is
growing colder and the weather is clear
ing.
The list of the dead identified up to IL
o clock was as follows:
Samuel Stringer. eyed sixteen years,
printer.
Thomas Jones, bricllayer.
Charles Fritch, aged sixteen.
George Mason, carpenter.
Lorger, colored boot black III barber
shop.
George Kirch, barber, aged eighteen
years.
The little girl, McGlone, is not dead as
previously stated, but is in a serious con-
dition.
The remains of one man have not been
yet identified.
Inspector Of Police McAleese stated at
late hour tonight he was of the opin-
ion that from fifteen to twenty-five per-
sons were yet i'll the ruins, and he would
not be surprised if the death list would
be increased to fifteen or twenty.
Up to midnight no more victims had
been rescued. 1t has just been learned
that the nut factory owned by Bontreger
& Company i'll the Seventeenth ward was
blown down during the storm and man
named Shines killed. The losses was
SI3 900.
OF the thirty~iive injured six are in
dangerous condition and will probably
die.
