DEATH Al PlTTSBuRG.

A Sevem-Story Building Completely De-
molishcd and Several Persons Killed.
PITTsBuRG, Pa. Jan. 1O-There was an
awful catastrophe at 1880 this after
noon. The high wind that struck the
city at that hour completely demolished
the large brick building in process of
construction in Diamond Alley, imme-
diately in the rear of Eldon & Cos
store. The building was as far up as the
seventh story. The building is a COM
plete wreck, and as it went down it
crushed in its TALL the barber shop inn
mediately next. The force of the crush
ing building was thrown against Weldon
Il Co.'S store and pushed out the front into
Wood street. The whole street in front
of j. II. Weldon g. Co.'S is full of debris.
At 9:2U p. NJ. the dead body of a col
| orcd boy, name unknown, was taken out
and removed to the morgue. A few mo-
ments later the elevator boy, James Gar
ing, employed in Weldon's store, was
removed. He was unconscious, and is
probably fatally injured. A rescuing
party are now engaged in tearing away
the foundation wall from under another
part of Weldon's building. Voices call
ing for assistance are heard at frequent
intervals. The following is a list of the
killed as reported at police headquarter,

DOWN WITH THE RED RAG.
A Chicago Anarchist is Roughly
Handled by a Mob.

CHICAGO, May 1.-GSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. There was a red flag episode on
West Lake street yesterday that parallels
the British flag incident in New York
several days ago. The fremen of engine No.
II were decorating their quarters with the
American flag and red, white aud blue bunt-
ing. Their work attracted the attention of
M. w. Doty, German woodturner, who
occupies the upper floor of four story build
ing near by. He leaned far out of his win
dow and in loud voice demanded what the
men were dong, and reviled the flag they
Were handling. His remarks created some
excitement, but the disposition was to
treat him leniently as long rs he did nothing
but talk. He disappeared moment, and
when he returned he held IA red flag in his
hand. He waved it out of the window several
times and then nailed it TO the sill where
1T huttered in the breeze, and in sight of a
crowd that had now sweled to several hun
dred. He stationed himself in the window
with an AK and dared any one to interfere
with him. The excitement on the street was
growing, and the firemeD were urged to run
up a ladder ana tear down the obnoxious rag.
While men were debating what TO do Captain
Anderson, of the engine company, climbed
the fire escape in the rear OF tho building and
soon appeared on the roof with hook at
tached to the end of "a rope In moment
the emblem Of anarchy was huttering from
the end OF his rope, and as he drew it up to
where he stood his exploit was greeted with
a cheer. Doty afterwards appeared on the
sidewalk, and while he was abusing the fire
men some one hit him. In moment he was
being tossed about like foot ball by the in
furiated crowd, and in the midst Of the ex-
citement some one yelled hang tho anarch-
ist" Several men started to get rope but
a patrol wagon dashed up ana the officers res
cued Doty just IN time.

THE u. P.,.S NEW DEPAR RTURE

THE u. r. NEW DEPH RTURE.
Brief reference has heretofore been
made by THE BEE to the recent deci-
sion of the board of directors of the
Union Pacific company, not to permit
any further increase in the debt owing
to the United States through the in
terest account. This determination APP
pears to have attracted great deal of
attention in financial circles, and it is
uniformly commended as the wise and
proper course to pursue. The Financial
Chronicle devotes extended attention to
it, speaking of the plan as striking the
root of the whole difficulty connected
with the question of the government in
debtedness. That journal remarks that
if there were only the original PRINCIPAL
of the subsidy bonds to be taken care of
the problem would be very easy. "No
one doubts, it says, that this principal
of the debt could be renewed at ma
turity and on very much more advan-
tageous terms as to interest rates than
now eXist-four per cent, probably, In
stead of six per cent as at present,
thus involving a saving of one
third as compared with the existing
annual charge on the debt"
The Chronicle believes the effect of
the departure cannot but be highly ben
eticial. 1t will tend, il thinks, further
to raise the management in public esti-
nation and respect, while beneftting
greatly the property under their charge.
AS an additional evidence OF good faith
on the part of the management in its
dealings with the United States the
Chronicle thinks the new step should
strengthen the case of the road before
congress. But whatever may be the
prospect in this regard, it will mani
testify be easier, remarks that journal
to provide for debt of fifty millions
than one five or ten millions larger.
Not only that, but the debt will hence
forth be stationary, and stakeholder;
and the public alike will know just
what its amount is. Calculations need
no longer embrace allowance for fu-
| ture increase.
This very likely voices the
sentiment general in financial
circles, and it should suggest tc
| the management of the Union Pacific
the Importance of Il straightforward ad
herence to the new policy. 1t would
have been we'll if the departure now
made had been adopted earlier, as il
certainly might have been, but it is
''never too late to mend" and rs dcnot-
ing purpose on the part of the Union
Pacific management to observe good
faith in dealing with the government
the new plan, though late in coming, is
| to be commended.

preserve the union, ever laid aside the
weapons Of war to take up the instru-
ments Of peace. Many OF these were in
the procession at New York, and justly
received the applause of the people.
They have passed the years OF military
service, but their example continues
with all its inspiriting and strengthen
ing influence upon those who would be
the nations defenders IL called upon.
The suggestion conveyed by the mill
tary parade in New York is that the
United States have a splendid body OF
citizen soldiery capable OF becoming, on
demand, the nucleus OF as great an army
as any other nation on earth can create.
The we'll drilled militia Of many of the
states, composed OF young men who
have the military instinct and spirit,
could be depended upon in any sudden
emergency to do valiant and efficient
service in national defense, and brief
experience would give them all
the qualifications of veterans. In
telligent and patriotic, they are
the very best material of which soldiers
are made, the safest and most trust
worthy dependence of free institutions.
SO long as such n force of citizen SOL
dlers is maintained, the United States
will have no need of great standing
army, or military est al.lishment more
| extensive than it is at present. A regu-
lar army OF twenty-five Thousand, sup
| plemented by n welltrained militia of
| half million, as this force in time will
undoubtedly be, will give the country a
| fighting strength equal to any urgent
demand ever likely to be made upon it.
The war department detailed an Off
GER to observe the movements and the
condition of the militia which paraded in
New York, and it is understood there
were representatives of foreign war
Offices present fora like purpose. There
can be no doubt that the American Off.
Ger found the results OF his observations
wholly gratifying, while those from
abroad, if there were any specially
commissioned for this service, at least
! discovered that the United States are
not without ample and excellent ma
terial for the rapid mobilization of q
splendid army.

THE BOARD OF TRADE TRrP.

THE BOARD OF TRADE TRIP
The forty-four members OF the board
Of trade who made an excursion to the
Black Hills returned yesterday morn
ing. They had most enjoyable trip,
and acquired knowledge of a large and
prosperous territory tributary TO Omaha
which may be turned TO the mutual
profit OF this city and the communities
between here and Deadwood. Every
where our commercial representatives
we're received with the utmost cordial
ity and courtesy, and everywhere they
learned that the merchants Of
the section visited would prefer
TO do business with Omaha
did our merchants manifest any desire
to secure their business. The reason,
it was ascertained, why we are not en-
joying to greater extent than any
other commercial center the business
OF this northwestern region is in our
failure to seek and cultivate it. II is TO
be had almost for the asking, but our
merchants, possibly thinking that it
would come because naturally tributary
to us, have not taken the trouble on
any large scale to secure it, and it has
gone elsewhere. The fact furnishes
additional evidence that in order to oh
tain business, however great the
natural advantages a city may possess,
it must be sought. The commercial
community that sits down to wait for
trade will certainly fail to get it. The
merchants who went to the Black Hills
have learned this useful lesson, and
they propose to look after this trade
and cultivate it, having convinced
themselves that it is well worth secur-
ing.
The consensus of opiuion among these
gentlemen, as shown by the interviews
printed, is that their visit made a
favorable impression for Omaha,
and that the result will be beneficial to
the business of this city. There can be
no question OF this, if the proper and
| adequate effort is made by our mer-
chants, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that this will now be done.
Omaha can offer the merchants of this
tributary territory as favorable mar
| ket as they can find elsewhere, with the
advantage of being very much nearer
| to them, and when they have learned
as they must do with very brief expe-
rience, that there is mutual profit in
doing business with Omaha not to be
secured by trading elsewhere, there
will be no difficulty in obtaining and
| holding their trade. The excursionists
are to be congratulated upon the favor
able outcome of their trip and the busi-
ness community generally upon the
| promise of excellent results to come
from it,
