NEW YORK THE SCENE OF THE LATEST
APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
A Puff Of Smoke, Roar, and the Walls
OF Building in Park Place Crash
Into the Street, Carrying Untold
Numbers Down to Death.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga most dis
astrous and terrible accident occurred
this afternoon at 1890 o'clock in Park
Place, between Greenwich street and
College Place. At that time the
street was filled with hurrying people
and heavily ladened wagons and
trucks. At first a small, white, vapor-
ish cloud burst from the ground floor
of Nos. 70, - and "A Park Place, then
was heard dull, deep, sullen roar as
if some monster was trying to break
his bonds. The roar was followed by
an eruption, and mass of brick,
stone and timber was hurled
thirty feet heavenward. The cries
of terror of men and the almost human
screams of the horses was onlya small
of the terrific scene
which instantly followed. Not more
than Il second could possibly have
elapsed before the front walls of Nos.
10, ~ and "A fell, crushing into the
street. TO those who saw the sight it
was horribly attractive. The great
walls slowly rolled and swelled out
with an undulating motion until,
slowly at first, but then more rapidly.
THEY GAVE WAY,
and in Il moment there was not stick
or stone standing above the first floor
between the dividing walls. A mass
If brick, stone and timber fell upon
the sidewalk and filled half the width
Of the street. The attention of those
who were gathered from all quarters
was attracted by thesound Of escaping
steam, which was spouting forth from
the pipe which had been broken by
the falling walls. The crowds
which had gathered made the streets
almost impossible. In the meantime
fire had broken out and was licking
the lower part of No. G8. At least fifty
men had climbed upon pile of the
ruins, hoping to rescue some
of the unfortunate people who were
known to be buried in the ruins.
They were driven from their posts by
the fire, which was spreading rapid
ly. 1t had burst out on the other
side of the ruins, and ran rapidly up
the elevator shaft at the main en-
trance to the block of buildings, of
which Nos. 10, ~ and IA were part.
For u time the Kissing steam fought
the fire, but as that died out the ele-
ment made more Roadway. If the
fire department could have been on
the scene at the time of the explosion,

THE TERRIBLE EFFECT

minutes after the explosion.
The delay was due to the
blocked condition of Murphy street,
Park Place and Church street.
a line of hose was had and one feeble
little stream from a hydrant was
played on the fire which was breaking
out on the side next to No. g. Soon
afterwards other engines arrived, but
the efforts of the department were all
directed to one portion of the fire. To
those who were Watching the slowly
creeping flames the delay was terri
BILE strain. Suddenly the fire burst
out in darkly cOlOred flames from the
third, fourth and fifth stories OF
that part Of the building on Park
Place next to Greenwich street. This
part of the building was occupied by
Lindsay's type foundry. The floor
and other parts of the place were sat
urated with oil or other inflammable
matter, which fed the flames rener-
ously. A murmur ran through the
throng that the building was lost and
the multitude shuddered at thinking
Of the fate of the occupants of the
ruined and burning part of the build
ing. When the full force of the fire
men did at last get to work the head
way of the fire was soon checked by
their skilled endeavOrs. AS interest

HORRIBLE CONJECTURES WERE CIR

as to how many were injured in the
ruins. The working people us well as
those engaged in offices and ware
houses generally got their luncheon
at noon. There was a cheap restau-
rant on the ground floor of No. "A in
which it was thought there were
about twenty-tivepeople when the ac-
cident happened. In the upper por-
ton of the building there was a large
number of working people employed
by firm of photographers and other
trades. 1t is not known how
many people were employed in
the place but as Saturday is
as half holiday, beginning
at p. m. it is presumed that most of
them who were not out were getting
to eat in the building. A |,

Future of the Salaried Man,

what is there in the future for the con
temptation Of a man who works on a sal
ary?" was asked of a man who employs
men, by another man who draws a salary
and thanks God. The employer suggested
to the inquirer that if a good salary was
being drawn the recipient "might invest in
a paid up life insurance policy" Hedidn't
do it, but he might have added, "and then
die" The argument could have been car
ried a little further had the salaried man
said: Il believe q man on a salary who is
not of a provident disposition. and who sees
that eventually be must become IL pauper,
is justified in getting rs much excitement
and satisfaction out Of life while youth,
activity and a good salary prevail as pos
sible.
"This idea of perpetual economy for twen-
ty-ive or thirty years to save enough to
carry you through ten or fifteen years of
old age and a salary reduced or no income
at all, is all wrong, because when it comes
to death and burial the cost of the thing
has to be met but once, and if one does not
leave enough behind to cover that expense
there's another fellow, the public, to do it
for him."-Detroit Free Press.

The Barn Owl.

The barn owl, when she has young,
brings to her nest mouse every twelve min
utes, and as she is actively employed both at
evening and dawn, as both male and female
hunt, forty mice Il day is the lowest COM
putation WI can make. How soft is the
plumage of the owl; how noiseless her
flight! Watch her as she floats past the
ivy tod, down by the ricks, and silently
over the old wood. Then away over the
meadows, through the open door and out
of the loophole of the barn, round the
ichened tower, and along the course of the
brook.
Presently she returns to her four downy
young, with a mouse in one claw and a
mole in the other, soon to be ripped up,
torn and eaten by the greedy, swapping
imps. The young are produced from April
to December, and not %infrequently both
young and eggs are found in the same
nest. If you would see the midday siesta
of the owls, climb up into some hay NOW.
There in an angle of the beam you will
see their owlships, snoring and blinking
wide their great, round eyes. Their duet is
the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave, like
n~othing-else noise you ever heard.-Corn-
hill Magazine.

Forest ~Sanctuaries,

The legislatures of eight different states
of the great west contemplate the enact

is probable that the last big horn sheep of

to the eternal hunting grounds when the
swamp forests of Florida will still afford d
refuge to thousands of bears and deer.
