BURIED IN BRICK AND MORTAR,
A Terrible Disaster in Chicago
This Morning.
Collapse of a High Wall During a
Heavy Gale.
A Dwelling House Crushed by Its De-

Ruins-All but One Fa-

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-At l :45 this
(Tuesday) morning, the wall of York's
store, in South Halsted street, which
was recently burned, was blown down
by furious gale Of wind which blew up
about that time. 1t fell upon a
house adjoining, which was oc-
cupied by the families of John
Smith, saloon keeper, and James
Kunze, jeweler. Ten people were
buried by the falling walls. They are
John Smith, Mrs. Smith. his wife; Dollie
Smith, his daughter, 15 years of age
"Bab" Smith, his son, aged 10; Hattie
Smith, daughter, aged 4; Pauline, do.
mestic in the Smith family; Jas. Kunze,
Mrs. James Kunze. son of Kunze, 81
years of age, and Joe Williams, bar
tender.
The building which collapsed was
owned by John York, large dealer in
drygoods, and was destroyed by fire q
few weeks ago. 1t was five stories high.
York began to rebuild after the fire, and
as not all of the walls were down, he
built new wall on top of
what remained Of the old one.
1t is supposed the green wall was not
sufficiently brsced. The weather during
the early part of the evening was calm,
with light rainfall. About IL O'Clock
the rain ceased and the wind began to
come up. By midnight, or shortly after,
it had increased to a gale.
A policeman on his beat noticed the
wall of the building shaking in the high
wing, and going to the patrol informed
his station. He was told to watch 1t
closely, and If it appeared that there was
any danger of its falling to warn the
occupants OF the neighboring buildings
to move out at once. He turned back,
but was still some distance from the
building when with an awful crash the
wall came down.
A shrek arose from the building
occupied by the unfortunate victims and
all was over.
The ruins of the demolished building
caught FIRE from the stoves, but the fire
department, which was quickly on the
scene, subdued the flames with little
difficulty. The police and firemen then
began to dig in the debris.
After some time Fred Kunze was got
ten out badly injured, but it is thought
he will recover. He was dazed and of
course knew nothing about the
inmates of the house. The search
continued, a large additional
force of firemen being summoned, but
up to 3:15 a. M, nc more have been
taken out. 1t is thought now hardly
probable that any of the unfortdnates
still imprisoned in the ruins will be res
cued alive.
Later-At 8 80 a. m. Mrs. Smith was
taken out. Her head was crushed and
she had sustained severe internal in
ternal injuries. She. cannot recover.

Both of the complaining witness are

necessarily fall to the ground.
D. A. Hicks was unfortunate enough
to become very drunk, and while in this
condition the police gathered him in.
Upon his person was found heavy
slung shot, very dangerous weapon. A
charge of carrying concealed weapons
was placed against him, and Justice
Austin, fning him guilty, yesterday,
fined him $40.

The Treasury officials Feel Better Over
tho Gold Outlook.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga feeling OF
confidence pervades the treasury. AS
far as is known only $3.50, 900 of gold has
been engaged at the New York SUBJ
treasury for shipment tomorrow, while
the free gold in hand is more than
$4,000, 900.
Treasurer Nebecker, speaking of the
drain Of gold that has been going on for
the past year or more, said it was
largely the work OF spectators on the
New York stock exchange. The export
of gold had the effect of bearing stocks
by selling stocks; that by exporting
gold the profit made on stocks not only
compensated for the freight charges,
insurance, etc., on gold shipped, but
left profit. Then, too, as France and
Austria were in the market after gold,
specie found q ready sale on the other
side.

The North American Navigation Com

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The execu-

Traffic association today adopted a reso-
luton commencing the purposes Of the
North American Navigation company,
and calling upon the merchants, capital
lists and others interested in the welfare
Of the city to subscribe to the stock Of
the organization. This action was brought
about by news from New York that
President Newton of the Panama rail-
road had signed a traffic arrangement
with the steamship company. The pur-
pose of the latter organization is to run
a steamship line from this city to the
Isthmus of Panama and another line
thence to New York. A satisfactory
arrangement with the railroad was
therefore essential to the contamination
of its purposes. It is stated three ves-
sells are to be chartered forthwith to
carry on the business of the new COM
pany.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. N.-Ollie Hutch
ings, one of the principals in the Emma
Dick forgery, who has been in custody
many months. was today discharged,
and the last chapter in the famous case

property in San Francisco. Ollie Hutch
ings was disguised to impersonate her
before notary in order to raise money
on a mortgage to Capitalist Crane.
The plan succeeded and Ollie, one

from Crane. Miss Hutchings went to
Oregan and was leading a respectable
life when the forgery was discovered.
She was arrested, brought back, turned
states-evidence, and Wells got five years
in prison. Pitcher took poison in jail
and died. Crane still has suit pend
ing against the bondsmen of the notary

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The Mair and

gentleman just returned from Buenos

king of bunco steerers, Thomas O'Brien,
in that city, masquerading as private
gentleman of means under the name of
Mr.. ]. 9. Corwin. O'Brien is accom-
panied by his old friend Doc Michen,
and the two occupy suite of rooms in
the best hotel in the capital.
s. O'Brien's manner of escape to the Ar
gentine republic is interesting. When
he escaped after the United States con-
sui had him arrested in Havre, he made
his way to Lisbon. Then he boarded
the first steamer which left. 1t was the
Pacific liner Baitannia sailing south.
The steamer stopped at Montevideo and
at that port he left her and took a boat
up to Buenos Ayres. He was accom-
panied by 'Doc" Michen. On their ar
rival they went to the Grand hotel and
both seem to have plenty of money.
O'Brien and Michen are perfectly safe
in Argentine. There is no extradition
treaty between that country and this.
