Hartford.
Wesson-It is believed that Mrs. Wesson,
of Springfield, the widow of Frank Wesson,
who was killed at the White River Junction
railroad accident, was in the Park Central
hotel, together with all of her family-fve
children-and probably a servant or two
People from Springfield were in the city
today anxious to find traces of her, knowing
she stayed in Hartford over Sunday, but her
name is not to be found on any hotel register,
and it is feared she must have been in the
Park Central. If so, her death and that of
her family woul raise the aggregate loss of
life probably seven.
Work on the ruins is all conducted under
or very near to the remaining part of the
rotten structure and is at considerable risk
The foundation walls of what remains are
crumbling, and the wind is knocking down
bits of brick from the different stories. The
whole Is certain to fall unless pulled down.
The pulling down was deferred until more
bodies are found in the ruins, but finally it
became necessary. The rooms split in two
were open to. inspection, and a suggestive
picture of the fimsy construction is shown in
the walls. The building has long been under
suspicion. No Hartford Insurance company
would touch il, and the local insurance of
ficers have personally denounced it to the
city government.
The tier of rooms still standing, open on
the west by the tearing away of the partitions
resembles huge honeycomb, twenty-five
feetsEide and sixty feet high, with the chim-
neys towering above. In many of the rooms
the fhfhitufe still remained and the torn car
pets fest5dded the ragged edges Of the broken
floors. .-s ~;
