Twenty-Eisht Injured Rescued.
The clerks employed there are all
men. There were over 400 clerks in
the building. Scarcely one escaped
more or less injury. Twenty.eight have
been taken from the ruins up to 10 ID
q. m. The emergency hospital is
crowded with dead and injured. The
injuries, from the very nature OF the
affair, were severe, being crushed and
broken limbs and internal injuries.
Thousands surround the scene and the
excitement has spread all over the city,
The remains OF young man not yet
identified, have just been placed in the
morgue at the emergency hospital.
This makes the number of known dead
up to the present time, eleven. 1t is
believed that fully sixty are still in the
ruins.
1t will probably be two or three hours
before the mass of debris can be cleared
away and the exact number of those
who went down in the crash can be
known. There is no doubt that several
bodies are still in tine ruins.
When the crash came there were sup
posed to be in the building 496 clerks
Is messengers, 20 laboreis-534 in all.
Up to this hour sixteen bodies have
reached the morgue.
Four of the city hospitals give the
following details:

An Incident In General But
ler's Life.

When Ben. Butler was about 16
years old he entered the college mt
Waterville, Mass. now called Colby's
University. 1t seems that he had
no love for the Calyinistic doctrines
which were taught to the students
constantly. He further had the uni
versal students horror of chapel.
One Sunday professor preached a
strong Calvinistic sermon, setting
forth that only the elect would be
saved aud that only one out of Il
hundred professed Christians were
among the elect. The next day But
Ter drew up formal petition TO the
faculty. In pompous legal phrases
he reasoned that as only one in 100
would be saved, of the 600 who as
sembled in the chapel each morning
only six had hope of salvation. As
there were nine members of the fac
ulty. it was reasonable and courteous
to suppose that the six would be OF
their number. As he himself was
thus certainly condemned without
hope to al eternal doom, he begged
the honorable faculty TO spare him
the pangs of anticipated suffering
which he got from the daily descrip
tions of the extent and ferceness o
his foreordained tortures For this
he was reprimanlei before the whole
college.

Conin q a Note scheme.
The following appeared In yesterday
evenings CbrOuiclc-TslCTOph
A novel swindle was worked on James
Conif, of POcabOntaS county, a pros
porous farmer. Two weeks ago a man
with all the distinguishing marks Of a
farmer called on COniif aud offered 20
sell him the patent right on a new elder
mill for PocahOntas county. COniR did
not care TO buy, but the stranger, who
gave the name Of Barnes, urged him
saving that POcahOntas was the only
county in the State not disposed Of.
Conid refused 70 buy and Barnes left,
giving his address as Alexandria, Va,
and instructinE ConiG TO send his note
for $3.50 payable in 20 days, If he de-
cided 10 buy.
Four days later prosperous looking
fellow, giving his name as Taylor, call
ed on Coniff and asked II he had a GER
tain cider mill patent right for Poca-
hontas county, stating that he had
worked the same thing successfully in
Pennsylvania aud would pay COniH $500
for it. COnif told Taylor he had the
refusal Of il, and that he would close
the deal with Barnes and sell out. This
was satisfactory TO Taylor, and he forth
with planked down $40 TO bind the bar
N. Conif Immediately filled out a
note left by Barnes and sent it
be first mail. Two days later the
turned up 10 the Warrington Bank,
.ng been discounted by Barnes.
Tor has not called 20 take the patent
lt yet and Barnes cannot be found.
