All kinds of theories have been adj
vanced for the collapse Of the building.
In some instances the responsibility. is
placed on the contractors, while in
others the building inspectors are
blamed. Nothing definite can be
known, however. until an Investigation
is made, and in the meantime it would
only be just to suspend Judgment. 1t
is hard to estimate the damage done at
this time. One of the buildings occu-
pied by Weldin & Co. belongs to David
Gregg; the other is owned by Mrs. D.
Reed Morrison. The loss to Weldin &
Co.'s stock is probably $4,000. The

WROUGHT TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION
in other parts of.the city and out along
the railroads centering here. A portion
of the foundry of the Mcintosh, Hemp
hill & Co. on Thirteenth street, was
wrecked. as was also house in Allie
ghany. At Welles station, on the Penn
sylvania railroad, a large brick building,
owned by the WESTINGHOUSE Air Brake
company, was partially demolished.
At McKeesport houses were I'M
rooted, trees blown down and win
dows smashed. Three houses in course
of erection were blown 10 pieces. On
the rivers 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, the
highest recorded for years. 1t is still
blowing hard tonight, but growing
colder, and the weather is clearing. The
list of dead identified up to II o'clock
tonight is as follows:
SAMUEL STRINGER. aged eighteen years,
printer.
THOMAS JONES, bricklayer.
CHARLES FRITCH, aged sixteen years.
GEORGE MASON, carpenter.
Colored boy named TERGGE, bootblack
in the barber shop.
GEORGE KIRSCHE. barber. aged eigh-
teen years.
A little girl, M'GLONE, is not dead as pre-
viously stated, but is in serious condition.
The remains of one man have not yet
been identified. Inspec or of Police
McAleese stated at late hour tonight
that he was of the opinion that from
fifteen to twenty persons are yet in 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. AT 6:44 o'clock this even
ing the voice Of a boy named jGottmap
was heard, but the rescuers could not
locate him. He said he was all right if
they could get at him. At 12 o'clock,
however, he had not been reached and
no sound could be heard. 1t is feared
that
HE DIED OF EXHAUSTION.
Young Goehring was taken out about
9 O'Clock. His position was such that
he could not be reached sooner, and he
was kept alive by means of rubber
tube being run into him, through which
beef tea and whisky were fed to
him. The body of colored boy
was taken out of the ruins about
IL o'clock. He was terribly crushed
and his entrails were protruding.
A number of narrow escapes were re-
ported. Seven men were thrown from
the seventh story to the ground, and
escaped with slight injuries. Adolph
Herman caught into the telegraph wires
and was rescued uninjured. 1t has just
been learned that nut factory owned
by Bontreger & Co., in the Seventeenth
ward, was blown down during the storm
and man named Hines killed. The
loss was $4,000. Forty members of the
carpenters union volunteered their
services tonight and are at work trying
to save their unfortunate brethren. Of
the thirty-fve injured, six are in
dangerous condition and will probably
die
