A WALL GIVES WAY
IN ALLEGHENY CITY, CRUSHING AND WOUND
ING SIX W0RKMEN,
Who Could Not Escaps-Soms Of the Unfortunate
Men Are Horribly MaDglsd and Cut-Most Of
the Injured Are Greeks Without Fami-
lies-Causs of the Collapse.

PITTsBURG, September 27.-Late this af-
ternoon long brick wall, used backing
for a score of frame houses in Allegheny,
fell, burying several workmen in the ruins.
Those killed and injured were:
Joseph Solvalge, crushed to death by
brick and timber.
Joseph NOgel, foreman, compound irac-
ture of the leg and back, terribly injured.
Unknown Hungarian, injured internally
and will die
Matthew Rositch, bruised and cut about
face and head.
Joseph Lakovitch, jaw broken, face cut.
and almost scalped.
Joseph Spencer, back badly injured,
scalp cut and hurt internally.
With the exception of the foreman, the
men injured were Greeks, with no families
so far as known. The accident occurred
at what is known as Gallery Row. in Al
legheny City, where twelve threestOry
frame houses were being torn down 10 make
room for more improved buildings All
but two of the houses were taken down,
when it was seen that the Standard Manu-
featuring building, just next TO
the retaining wall. was pushing
against this brick wall. and that the latter
was tottering as a result of the braces be
ing removed. The alarm was given but
too late. and the entire length fell with a
crash. The noise, dust and shrieks of the
injured men created the report that the
immense Standard Manufacturing build
ing had fallen but this was happily un-
founded.

THE WAR OF FAST SHIPS.
Accusing the Captain of the Teutonic of
Cooking His Log Book.

Cooking His Log Book.
LIVERPOOL. September 21.-Another
charge against the Captain of the Teutonic
has arisen from a scrutiny of the logs Of
that vessel and of the City of New Y Gork,
which shows that the TeutOnic passed san
dv Hook twenty minutes after the City Of
New York and remained i'm sight astern
until Saturday, when she was lost sight Of
On Monday she hove into sight again, still
astern According 20 her log, the Teuton-
ic had made 40 miles from Sandy Hook on
Thursday noon. At noon on Friday she had
made $50 miles, being a total OF $40, against
the record of the City of New York, which
was 4S6 on Thursday noon. ABS on Friday
noon. being "a total of g24 miles.
II the figures were true, she would neces-
sarilv be nine miles ahead, whereas. in
fact. she was astern all the way over. as
her own passengers admit.
The total run. according TO the log of the
Teutonic, was 27.94 knots, against the New
York 2113, and 20 do this she must have
gone sixty miles south of the Virgin Rocks,
which no navigator would think OF doing.
The inevitable conclusion TO be drawn is
that the log of the TcutOnic was cooked,
which is the charge made against her COM
mauder. The question is creating great
interest I'm shipping circles, and il is be
ieved that the whole controversy Will be
submitted 70 the Board of Trade, which
makes altering or cooking log books mis-

PAwNBROKERs ARRESTED
In Pittsburg, Charged with knowingly
Receiving Stolen Goods.

PTTsBURG September 21.-When Grant
Geiger came up in Court yesterday charged
with stealing, Judge White seized the OPP
portunity to bitterly denounce the pawn
brokers of this city. Several of them were
up as witnesses in the case and the Court
severely arraigned them for advancing .
to = on OvercOatS and goods valued at least
so to SO. The Judge abruptly declared
the pawnbrokers must have known the
goods were stolen, and said they would all
be indicted for receiving stolen goods.
To-day Hebrew society was greatly agi-
tated by the arrest of seven of the richest
pawnbrokers of the clty, all charged with
receiving stolen goods, and all supposed 10
be in some way connected with the Geiger
case, although Inspector McAleese, Of the
Police Department, says he has been
working up the cases for some time. The
men arrested are Joseph DeRoy, y. De-
Roy, Emanuel DeRoy, Leo Weller, Geo.
Glider, Isaac Glider Cheap lsaac'sl. and
X. Wilkowsky.
They were each admitted 10 $1,000 bail,
and Inspector McAleese, says they will be
heard Monday. 60 before the grand jury
Tuesday morning, and, if the pro
posed programme is carried
out. will be tried before Judge
White Tuesday. Heretofore the pawn
brokers and the Police Department have
been friendly, as the former have assisted
greatly i'm ferreting criminals, and for this
reason the arrests to-day were all the more
unexpected.

came in to-day. 1t will be good flower.
The Simpson oil well was bored in to-
day and with disappointing results. The
well made several small flows, but finally
stopped, with the oil standing in the well
about 200 feet. The drill went through
the sand, which is about thirteen or four
teen feet thick. The well will be shot
with ten quarts tomorrow.
There seems to be plenty of oil but not
enough gas to force it into the tank. II is
noticeable that all the wells are losing their
forcing strength for want of gas and owners
of some Of them are making preparations 10

well will have on the remainder of the field
