DEATH AND DESOLATlON.
STORIES OF SURVIVORS.
Thrilling Experiences Of Men
Who Escaped.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2s.-A thrill
ing experience was that of George II.
Capito, of 1881 Stewart avenue, who was
present at the meeting of Jewel Lodge
No. 2. Knights and Ladies of Honor, in
their lodge room, on the top floor of the
Falls City Market hall, when the build
ing collapsed under the terrible impact
of the cyclone. He says: 1.-THE first
indication of danger we had was two
distinct BOOKINGS of the building, about
which time dOrmer window In the
lodge room was blown from its casing,
and Immediately after the plastering
began to drop from the ceiling. A
wild rush was made for the ante-roOm,
which carried me with it, and [
had just reached the door when
the entire floor gave way and we were
precipitated to the basement, blinded
and almost suffocated by cloud of
dust. and crushed and damned by fall
ing timbers. In some way the door
frame fell with me and maintained an
upright position when it stopped, and L
was enabled to extricate myself from
the debris and make an exit 10 the
street through an adjoining house,
whose doors kicked in. Meanwhile
of those still imprisoned by the wreck
formed q chorus that in connection
with the bowling of the storm made my
heart sick. was, so far as hasty eX-
animation went, comparatively unin-

ruins with several men to the rear of
the place, and eXtinguished fire that
had begun to blaze fiercely. BY this
time rain was falling III torrents, and
it was difficult for those who had gath
cred from the neighbOrhOOd, or who
had been lucky as was, to escape with
life. to tell where to begin the work of
rescue. The vivid lightning flashes
only gave momentary views of the po-
siti0n of the ruins and blinded every

Lizzie Walters, the treasurer of the
lodge, who was covered with dust,
drenched by the storm, and we'll nigh
distracted by the terrible fate of her
aged father, who had attended the lodge
meeting with her. and was still in the
ruins. The entire building collapsed in
front and rear of the east and west side
walls. Nothing was standing above
the second story. There were near
ly 100 members present at our
lodge meeting, as several candidates
were up for initiation. "Fully two
thirds of those there were ladies. Be-
sides our lodge. another order was
holding a meeting on the same floor
with us. A German band was rehears-
ing on the second floor, and party Of
decorators were at work on the large
hall on the floor, preparing for some
entertainment. So far as | could see
when l succeeded in escaping there
were less of dozen who got out I'M
hurt, and the cries for help and groans
that issued from the broken and twisted
heap was proof that scores were still
there unable to escape" Mr.. Capito.

The supply of the finest makes in all vari
cites of butter continues insufficient to sup
ply the demand and firm and steady prices
prevail, with dealers holding off for outside
prices OH fine fancy makes. Choicest dairy
is in first request with creamery in good de-
mand, and to a regular trade in special
brands prices little above top quotations
can be obtained. Butter that grades above
packing stock, but not good enough for
TAME use. is not meeting WIN mucn OF any
inquiry and is dull. The local supply of
cheese is moderate, especially of choice
grades, and the demand continues of about
the same character. mainly of small lots
Potatoes are firmly held, with fair volume

only to supply immediate wants for consump-

all along the line, and while good many
houses stand out pretty firm for former

cepting lac less than they asked. The reason
for the weakness seems to be the rather full
receipts and the slow movement at the
late advance. About 13@13I2c seems
to be all that can be depended on at present

BURIED IN TIE RUINS.
Two Hundred Bodies Still Under
the Falls City Hail

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2s.-Two
hunered or more men, women and chill
dren lie buried in the ruins of the Falls
City hall, No. 1926 West Market street,
just above Twelfth, on south side. The
structure was three stories in height,
and when struck by the tornado several
meetings were being held within it.
The loss of life at this place far exceeds
that at any other one locality, and of
the great number known to be under
the debris it is certain that none will
be recovered alive. Thirty odd dead
and dying have been taken out.
but at midnight there had not been
body found since O'Clock. The ground
floor OF the Falls City hail was given
over to market men, there being thirty
butchers and twenty-five gardeners
stalls. There was no one in this part
OF the building, so far as is known. On
the second floor front there were
three small rooms, two of them
for the toilet and one an Office.
Next back of this was large ball room,
then the kitchen. and then small hall
where Miss App taughtdancing classes.
On the third floor were three large
lodge rooms. Miss App was teaching
a dancing class Of young children, and
there were in the room mothers,
fathers and other
Attendants of the Youngsters,
aggregating six or more people. Proba
bly, dozen of these escaped, and all the
others are in the ruins, with the eXcep-
ton of several taken out dead. In one
of the rooms on the second floor the eX-
oF no nil &c
in session, there being seven in attend
ance. Ali of these but one escaped
death, the unfortunate man being
Theodore Englemeir, an uphol-
sterer, at Third and Chestnut streets.
On the third floor Jewell Lodge No. 2,
Knights and Ladies of Honor, was hold
ing a meeting. This was one of the
largest lodges of the order, and there
were over $50 members present when
the building fell. A mere handful of
these escaped. On the same floor Hum
boldt Lodge No. 146, |. o. 0.
F., had gathered, there being
eighteen members in the room. But
few Of these are alive, and the
few who escaped are badly hurt. A. j.
Reed, past grand master /. .. U. +. OF
the state, was visitor at the Humboldt
lodge meeting, and was one to get out
alive. He was taken to the home OF
John Blaes, on Twelfth, between Main
and Market, where he was seen. 1.-The
meeting was just adjourning and was
entering the hall way" said he, "when
the tornado struck the building at its
southeast corner. There were several
crashes, aud the structure began to rock,
whereupon the men and women from
the Knights of Honor meeting began
pouring out of their lodge room adjoin-
ing, shrieking in terror. 1t was only
for moment, though, for the building
collapsed and l found myself on top of
the great pile. l was stunned and
blinded by the dust, but recovered my
self and crawled out. The agonizing
shrieks of others we're terrible. l was
finally taken away by rescuing party"

SEIZED THE PATHFINDER.
The Revenue Cutter COrwin Seizes
British schooner.

British schooner.
Special to the Globe.
: PORT TOWNSEND. Wash, March 2s.-
The British schooner Pathfinder, Capt.
Morgan, was towed into port at 8
o'clock this evening by the revenue cut
ter Corwin. The schooner is one that was
seized in Behring's sea and ordered togo
to Port Townsend. Instead the schooner,
despite remonstranceS of United States
officers on board, went to Victoria. The
act made her a fugitive from the
United States authorities, and in
pursuance of general orders she was
seized by the Corwin in Neah bay. Capt.
OLeary, of the Pathfinder, offered no.
obstruction to Captain Hooper, of the
revenue cutter. The vessel was brought
here and turned over to Collector of the
Port Bradshaw. The Pathfinder's
papers show that she cleared for
the North Pacific and Behring's
seas, and when captured she was
sealing off Cape Flattery, but with
eleven other sealing vessels had put in
to Neah bay because of rough seas off
Cape. Capt Hooper, of the cutter, says
President Harrison's proclamation,
pouch in Behring's sea this year more
than formerly. There is considerable
comment on the seizure. The captain
of the Pathfinder has telegraphed
to Victoria, and representatives
will be over in the morning.
1t is expected that the eizures will be a
subject of international complications,
inasmuch as it was generally supposed
that the government acknowledged it's
position untenable and would not seize
any more British vessels. at least until
the question was settled by conference.

bears are able 10 make demonstrations with
any satisfactory results. The strength in
sterling exchange caused feeling of de-
preston somewhat to-day. Dealings to-day
furnished little ground for comment. but the
disasters reported this morning gave bear
ish tone to the feeling in the streets, and al
most everything opened off: Louisville u
Nashville and Louisville New Albany d
Chicago, as was natural, showing the great
est losses. The downward movement in the
usual dizziness of the first hour went but lit
tie further. and an improvement was seon
inaugurated under the lead of Missouri Pa
cific end Sugar Retneries. The upward
movement was entirely insignificant,
and dullness and stagnation ruled
for the remainder of the day
up to the last hour. The payment of the
dividend OH the Chicago Gas by the Fidelity
Trust company caused great deal of talk,
but no apparent effect upon the stock was
made by It. The usual dividend upon Laeka-
wanna fell fat, but the reports that coal was
being sold under the schedule prices sagged
all the coalers except Reading off slightly.
Late in the day the old stories of a new issue
of bonds on the Erie were circulated and ac-

SEVERE ON PAYNE.
Capt. Pythian, of the Naval OBJ
Servatory, Talks.

WASHINGTON, March %. - "The
charge made by Prof. Payne, of Mime
sofa, that the Western Union furnishes
incorrect time to its patrons / have
nothing TO do with. " said Capt Pythian.
uperintendent of the naval observatory.
This, however. l know-the Western
Union at IL o'clock each day gets the
correct time from the observatory, aud
whether the time the company furnishes
is correct or incorrect is not my con-
Germ. The truth is the Western Union
company has been getting time at
the observatory for the last
twenty years. They have a moral
if not legal right to it by rea-
son of their long tenure, but, bless your
heart, any person or corporation can es-
tabliSh the same right by simply run
ming wire in here. The charge of col
fusion with the Western Union, made
by Prof. Payne, is the rottenest kind of
rot. Perhaps Prof. Payne and others of
his ilk think they can raise such a storm
about my ears as to force me or the gov
eminent to discontinue connection with
the Western Union. But, personally, l
cannot dis continue it. That is a matter
for the navy department, and, perhaps,
congress. l hope there will be an in
Vestigation. 1t Will please me, and the
sooner it comes. the better, as it will
illustrate what talented liar Prof.
Payne is"
