FTER THE CRASH.


Many Thrilling Srenes Attend the Work
oi Rcscuins the Inmates of the Build
ing.
None of those who escaped injury could
tell which oil the floors first gave way. 10
the occupants of each iloor there was but
one crash heard, and Instantly the whole
building was filled with binding lime
dust. Running directly through all of the
floors and in the middle of the building
was light.wcll, 10 feet or more long and
nearly as many wide. The fatal area was
in front of this, leaving Il space of six or
seven feet in width undisturbed on either
side. The entire back part of the building,
containing more than half of the floor
space, remained intact.
There were many very narrow escapes
from death. a number of clerks whose
desks rested directly upon the line where
the floors broke away, saved themselves,
while the desks ut which they sat were
precipitated down the awful chasm. Others
who were walking across the room heard
an onIinous sound and stopped just at the
very threshold Of death. When the crash
came those who survived heard mighty
scream of anguish from their comrades as
they sank ont of sight, and then, cropping
! in the darkness, they found their way to
safety, trembling in ever joint, with the
pallor of the dead III their faces.
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
No women were employed in the build
| ing, but in few minutes after the crash
| came the wives, mothers and daughters OF
| the victims began 10 arrive. Within a
| very few moments hundred or more
men stripped for hot work jumped into
the building and began throwing out the
wreckage, which remained standing in the
| rear
GuAEpING THE RECORDS.
About ll.G0 O'Clock a company of the
| Fourth United States Artillery from the
| Washington Barracks arrived on the scene
| of the accident and the men were dis
trbuted about the ruins to guard against
| interference with the Workmen. Shortly
after cavalry from Fort Meyer, Va,
reached the spot and assisted the other
regulars in maintaining order. The main
duty of the soldiers was to guard the re-
bellion records stored there. Clerks who
escaped were pressed into service and went
| willingly to work removing bundles of
valuable documents. A great deal of the

TRAIN ROBBERS GOOD Haul
They Secure $4,000 by Raid;
ing an Express Car.
A BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL RAII
The Express Messenger 81:
lenced With a Hatchet.


CnLuMBIA ILL.,, June 9.-Six masked
men held up the New orleans express or
the Mobile 4 Ohio railroad at Forest Lawn
eight miles north of here, ut . O'Clock last
night, and robbed the express car Of
$1,000 in cash and valuables worth large
amount. The robbery did not occupy
over - minutes time. A large posse ID
now in pursuit of the bandits.
The express makes a short stop at Forest
Lawn, and when it came to a standstill
last night two men jumped upon the
engine, and pointing revOlvers at the heads
of the engineer and fireman, told them not
to attempt to start the train again.
While this was taking place four men
appeared 1T the side OF the express car.
One Of them placed Il short ladder against
the car and then chopped a hole in the
door. 1t took but moment to do this
and before the astonshed express meSsen-
ger realized what was happening the door
burst open and the four men were in the
car. Messenger Branford attempted re.
sistencc. but was slenced by blow with
the Latchet in the hands of the robber who
had chopped the hole III the door.
The bandits lost no time in ransacking
the car. BranfOrd was only partially
stunned by the blow he received and his
assuilants revived him. and forced him to
open the safe. Its contents they placed in
Is sack, together with what other valuables
they secured. Branford was then pound,
gagged and cast into corner.
When the bandits had completed their
task in the express car they jumped to the
ground. The conductor and several of the
traii.men opened fire on them and they
returned il with interest, though none Of
the ballets so far as known, took effect.
The bandits. who were armed with Win
chesters and revolyers, drove their assail-
ants into the ears and among the
passengers. who were rendered panic-
stricken by the fusilade A voiley
of shots was heard, apparently
fired for the purpose of intimi-
dation and then the robbers took to
their heels There was every chance for
them to escape as the place is lonely
one, with swamp and underbrush on each
side of the track for a distance of two or
three miles. There is no telegraph station
ut Forest Lawn. rendering the summoning
of aid in that way an impossibility. Mem
bers of the crew are positive the bandits
numbered six.
Messenger Branford states that every
thing of any value was taken from his car.
The exact amount of money he declined
tn name One of the robbers who entered
the express car was addressed by his pals
rs bob" and wore chin whiskers. One
Of his hands was bleeding from injuries
received in entering the car. de wore a
fox.colored suit and weighed about l4u
| pounds.

al the Theatre Ruins.
The members of the Phmnix Steam Fire
Engine Company of this city were pro-
ceeding down Pennsylvania avenue. in
Washington, when thes catastrophy ut
ford's old theatre occurred. They heard
the low rumbling sound and thought the
building mad caught fire. The men broke
ranks and proceeded Immediately to the
theatre.
When they discovered what was the
matter, Chief Marshal Sherwood immedi-
ately volunteered the services of the Will
mington tiremen in removing the dead and
wounded. This offer was received with
warm thanks by the police who said they
had plenty of assistance. The police
allowed the tiremen to remain inside the
ropes while the victims were being re-
moved from the ruins.
The tlreinen were among the first on the
ground and saw 35 persons removed from
the ruins, of whom 10 we're dead.

The Unscemly Squabble Between the
street and sewer Department and City
Cnmmril over an Obscmre Appoimtment.


Council over an Obscure Appointments.
The squabble between the Street and
Sewer Department and City Council still
continues over the appointment, or more
exactly, the payment of the salary of a
rodnan for The city Surveying Depart
ment.
Chief Engineer Palmer of the engineer
ing department some time ago took action
in the matter and requested Assistant En-
gineer Price to obtain a man suitable to
act as rodman. The one obtained was
Amos Taylor. He is reported to be i'll
every way suitable.
The minimum needed to mark city lines
is three men. two engineers and rodman.
The great trouble IN the whole matter and
the one that largely interferes with the
efficiency of the engineering department IS
the fact that while City Council pays the
department. its orders for WORK come from
the Street and Sewer Department. This
acts in the direction of the engineer being
equally responsible to two bodies.

Incident. of Mondays storm.

a Dover, N. H., dispatch says: Henry
Joy of Somersworth, messenger of the
American Express company, while going
from the express car to the milk car last
night, was blown off into the snow. He
had to walk to Durham, distance of two
miles, and in the extreme cold his face,
nose, ears, hands, and toes were frozen.
He was thrown down three times on the
way by the violent wind.
Passengers On a belated northern train
had startling experience between Man
chester and Concord. In the midst of al
most a cyclone of wind and snow the glass
of nearly every window on one side of each
of three passenger cars was suddenly shat
tered into fragments and thrown among
the passengers, followed by driving snow.
The air was so full of snow that many of
the passengers thought that an accident
had befallen the train. The women on
board were greatly frightened and were es-
corted into the cars which were uniniured.
1t proved that the train had passed a loco
motive with snow pillow on the other track,
and it was the frozen snow thrown by the
pillow that broke the car windows.

The gale of Tuesday was almost unprec-

Our streets, however, were thickly strewn
with small branches from the trees.
On Tuesday occurred the funeral of Mary
Morrison, beautiful child of ten sum
mers, the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Morrison. Universal sympathy is
felt for the family in their great bereave-
ment. The funeral was held at the Con-
gregational church, and large number, in
Guiding the children and teachers of our
public schools, were in attendance. Beau
tiful flowers covered the white casket.
The singing was by quartet. Our little
friends, Ruth Barney and Marion witch
ell, also sang sweetly. All hearts were
moved.
