In about five minutes. the crash was heard.
Then silence followed, and Mr. lmbrIe
said he heard no sound. He rushed to the
rear windows and found men jumping out.
Several had made the perilous leap. but he

Another narrow escape Is found In the
experience of j. ID. Nevins. of Texas. whose

THE WRECKED BUILDING.

1t Was the Theater In Which Lincoln Was
Shor-Converted into Medical Museum.
WASHINGTON, Juno 9.-The building
which was wrecked to-day was the Army
Medical Museum. 1t was originally the
old Tenth-street Baptist Church. 1t was 9
medIum-sized structure and was painted
white. About forty years ago the Ford
Brothers OF Baltimore purchased the prop
erty and transformed itIDto q thester.
The interior was entirely removed. but the
ola walls left standing. 1t was used as
play house until several years later. when
it was destroyed by fire. The FOrds then
built q spacious brick theater on the site of
the old building. 1t was in this theater
that Presidents Lincoln was assassinated on
the Good Friday night of 1865 by John
Wilkes Booth. After this event the govern.
ment closed the theater and finally bought
tho property for about 100000. Again the
interior of the structure was remodeled and
adapted to the use of the Surgeon-general.
The museum proper occupied the
three floors Of the building. While

Its scope has broadened so rapidly that it
lately included all interesting objects of
medical and surgical study. 1t was said to
be the only museum of its kind In the
world. Labor and money had been ex-
pended on it to an almost unlimited extent.
There were no less than 1000 specimens
arranged with great care and IS stem within
the walls of the museum. The second floor
Of the building contained the medical
library of the government. u library which
was said to contain more medical literature
than the British Museum or the national

Mono Of the Employees Residing in This
City Among the Injured.
When the news of the collapse was re-
ceived here, short time before the noon
hour yesterday. it created great excite
ment The bulletin announcing the catas-
trophe had been posted but q few minutes
when it was known all over the business
portion of the city. and the telegraph
wires from that time till last night were
taxed for the transmission of messages
from scores of friends and relatives here of
clerks who were or were supposed to be In
the building. The reports were meagre at
first, and the only information gained
as to who was In the building
was the list of names of those employed in
the department. all of whom were not in
the building. During the day several
residents of the city. who had relatives or
friends employed in the building. received
word from them and their fears were al
layed, but numerous inquiries were made
at the various newspaper offices. by tele-
phone, seeking information concerning the
later reports from the scene of the disaster.
+. N. Test. one of those reported to have
been In the building. and whose residence
was given as this city, was found to have
resided IN Missouri. He formerly resided
here and this fact probably lea to the re-
port that he was from this city.
w. IL. Furniss, father of DIR. II. w. Fur
Miss. received a telegram from his son yes
terday afternoon stating that he Yves out
without q scratch. 1t W as at first reported
that DR.. Furniss had been killed. and the
report caused bis family and friends In this
city no little alarm until 1t was shown to
be untrue by the telegram.
Abraham Springsteen. O brother OF Robert
Springsteen, of the When. who az reported
to have been in the building at the time of
its collapse. has been confined to his room
for several weeks past with q severe Ill
ness. and was not at work.
Edward Park, father of +. E. Park. who
was employed in the building that col
Iapsed was seen at his home, No. 445 East
Ohio street. last night. AS soon as the
news was received here MIR. Park sent O
telegram to his son in Washin aton. but up
to late hour last night bad received no
reply, and she family were inclined to look
upon this as evidence that he was under
the ruins. The aged parents were much
worried about the failure to hear from
their son. Later the ottoial list of killed
and injured came, and his name was not
upon it. -
