he attacked two young women only a short dis
lance from the place where Eva Mitchells
body was found. One was Annie johnson, a
servant girl. whom he caught in lonely spot
on the boulevard. He muttered something in
her ear which she did not understand. She
screamed and he threw her down and choked
her. She broke away and ran An hour later
he caught Hannah Luny, another domestic in
the same neighborhood and treated her in the
same way. Neither of the girls could give an

strike on the Brooklyn street railways. Henry
W. Adams, a stableman, was found dead Satur-
day night on the sidewalk under the open sec

and many were fata ly injured One or
two died on the way to the hospitals From
the meager information tainable eight
were killed outright, or died in short
time, and thirty-five Others were injured.
IJ is believed that the list of dead will be
greatly increased before morning. OF the
eight killed, only two have been identified
so far. One was a little girl name Nc
Clone, who was walking along the street
with her brother, when the building fell,
and the two were found buried in
the wreck. The little girl was killed
instantly, and her brother, it is thought,
is fatally injured. The body Of George
Kirsch, barber, is years old, was found
in the cellar OF the barber shop. Five uu-
Known men and one boy are now at the
morgue awaiting Identification,
Dr.. j. L. K ed, prominent physician Of
Allegheny, was in Welden'S at the time,
and he is still missing. II is feared that he
is dead.
AN ERRAND BOY DUG OUT.
About o'clock 10 .eph Goelring, an err
rand boy employed by Weldin & Co, was
discovered among the debris. He was SO
wedged IN that be could not be extricated
until 8 o'clock. but he was kept alive by
means of rubber tube through which beef
tea and whisky were given Lin. He was
Another boy was heard in the ruins, but
his voice soon became stilled and his body
has not yet been found. Up to midnight 40
more bodies had been taken out of the ruins.
The damage to property in Pittsburg is
considerable, but is little thought of in the
presence of the existing disaster to life.
ON THE RIVERS.
On the rivers, a number of boats were
torn from their moorings and cast about
like corks, but they were secured before
much damage was done.
The velocity of the wind was fifty miles
an hour, which is the highest rec orded for
years. 1t is still bio wing hard tonight, but
it is growing colder and the weather is
cl airing.
Inspector Of Police McAleese stated at a
late hour tonight that he was of the opinion
that from fifteen to twenty five persons
were yet in the ruins, and he would not be
surprised if the death list would be increased
to fifteen or twenty.

A ASMASH-UP AT A SWITCH
FIRE BREAKS OUT AFTER THE
CRASH OF THE CARS.

The Fireman of the Locomotive Fa,
tally Crushed and scalded - The
Switch Turned by Some One IN
known with the Objsct of Causing
the Disaster-No Passengers Fatally
Injured.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 9.-The Times
Democrats special from Brookhaven,
Miss, says 1.-The railroad wreck which
occurred two miles south of here on Sun
day night, has been duplicated one mile
north tonight. As passenger train No. /,
on the Illinois Central railroad, in charge
OF Conductor Kirby, was coming south
at 705 o'clock it ran into an open switch at
the sheds Of the Brookhayen Lumber
and Manufacturi 6 Company, resulting in
a disastrous wreck and conhagration. the
switch connecting with the main track and
a stub switch used by the lumber company,
had both been Intentionally misplaced.
THE TRAIN ON A RUSH.
At the time the train reached the switch
it was running at speed Of about thirty
miles an hour. 1t plunged into the death
trap. The engine plowed Its way into the
immense lumber sheds, and in less than
three minutes the fire from the engine fur
mace had spread 10 tie lumber and buildings
and started a terrible conhagration.
Engineer Sam'l Berry stayed on his engine
until 1t stopped. He received several cuts
about the face and head, and was badly
hurt in the leg but was not dangerously
injured.
colored fireman, named Randall Cid
we'll, was pulled out from the tender scalded
and crushed SO badly that he died in few
minutes.
Mail Agent Neelis and Baggagemaster
Farrell received slight injuries. No one
else was hurt.
THROWN FROM THE TRACK.
The mail, baggage, express and smoking
cars were all thrown from the track, but
the train crews, passengers and citizens re-
moved their contents before the fire
had got well under way. The engine
of the wrecking train then pulled
all the balance of the train out
of the reach of the flames. The tender,
mail and baggage cars were burned. The
magnificent plant of the Brookhavel Lum
Der and Manufacturing Company together
with thousands of feet of the finest lumber
were soon clnsu ed. The loss Of the COM
pany will reach high in the thousands with
only partial insurance.
