administration OF the presidential

Rnilding Fell In.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l6.-About $40
this afternoon the four-story brick build
ing at 5:15 Commerce street, occupied
as a salesroom and warehouse by Nixon
Bros Paper Company, collapsed. Sew
en- men we're in the building at the time.
Three were buried in the ruins and
killed and one badly hurt, The dead
aye: John McKenna and Joseph Wall
ace, packers, and Albert W. Marker, fore
man. Albert Gales, colored porter,
was injured internally. Shortly after 6
O'Clock the cracking and splinterlng of
ioists wss heard, and then with ter
rible suddenness the whole upper part
of the building came down with a rush
upon the men OF the first floor. Gales
made a rush for the street and just as
he reached the pavement the front wall
fell upon him, burYing him. He was
fortunate enough to escape with serious
but not fatal injuries.
When the building began to cave in
McKeuna, Wallace and Marker ran
toward the window, but bricks and joists
fell upon them just as they were about
to jump out, and crushed the life out OF
them. Up to late hour tonight Wall
aces body had not been recovered. Three
gentlemen in the Office escaped unin-
jured, as the debris fell further front
They were walled in, however, and as
sisted out by the police and firemen
when they arrived. The cause of the
collapse is probably the weight OF The
paper stored in the upper floors. The
building is a total ruin. Loss about

General Butler Lies in State.

LOWELL, Mass, Jan. 15.-At General
Buffers late residence on Belvidere
hill this morning private funeral serv-
ices we're held Rev DR.. A. st. John
Chambre, of the St. James Episcopal
church officiated. After a short service
those present looked upon the general
for the last time. A detachment of
comrades of Post AZ, G. A. R., reached
the house directly after the private
! funeral exercises and bore the body
| from the house to a hearse drawn by
four horses. The streets we're crowded
as the band signaled by dirges the pass
age of the generals body from the
house to Huntington hall, where the
body Is to lie in state.
In the hall the coffin was placed in
the center of the floor. From ceiling
to floor wall of black extended. On
the coffin was placed the sword and
epauiettes worn from Lowell to the
gulf and back again. Behind the
catafalque rested bank of flowers
that came from President Harrison
| from convicte in the state prison and
from all classes of people between
those extremes.
When the crowd was admitted to the
hall they struggled upstairs and bowled
over the police, who tried to restrain
them. Huntington hall, whenever
General Butler appeared there In life
saw turbulent scenes, but those of to-
day surpassed anything ever seen be-
fore. Down in the street thousands
pressed forward when they saw the
doors open. All afternoon a steady
stream of people poured in, but the
crowd did not diminish. Late IN the
afternoon the doors were closed and
the officers had an hours rest, AT 6
o'clock the doors were opened again
and more order was maintained up to
IL o'clock, when the final closing was
made. Hundreds left the place with
tout getting in and many Others who
wanted to get out of the jam were
forced to wait. There will be another
crush tomorrow morning, as those who
failed to-day will try then. Perepara-
tions are being made for making the
g reat event of the funeral the greatest
that Lowell has ever witnessed.

sharon Children In Want.

CHICAGO, Jan. l5.--A local paper
prints u rather remarkable story of a
young woman calling herself Mrs, John
Sharon, who yesterday applied to the
relief and aid society for assistance. She
said she never saw her father and her
mother died week after she was born.
She was adopted by Mr.. Adams, who
was atterward mayor of Virginia City
and member OF the Nevada legislature.
She was given every advantage and at
the age Of II was sent to Mills academy
for young ladies in Oakland, While
there she met John Sharon, a nephew OF
Senator Sharon, and when she was Is
they married. They lived happily a
number OF years and had three children,
the eldest OF whom is now ID years of
age. Her husband had a good position
in Virginia City mine given him by
the senator, I've years ago her hus-
band died, leaving practically nothing.
She had $4,000 left her by a brother
whom she discovered after she married,
and who died before her husband. She
says she appealed to the Sharon family,
but they declined to have anything to
do with her.
A year ago she went to Ell Paso, Tex,
on visit aud there met a handsome
Spaniard, Joseph Lopez, with whom she
became infatuated and married in a short
time. A Few months ago Lopez decided
to come to Chicago, alleging he could
make good money here during The fair.
-Four months ago on the pretense OF
business scheme he induced her to give
him $500 she had put away, and de-
serted her and the children. Since then
she has been struggling along, dong
various kinds of work, but yesterday
was forced to apply for aid for herself
and children. She says she accidentally
heard of her father a few months ago,
when he attended stockmen's conven-
tion at Butte, Mont. The newspaper
article she saw about him stated he was
wealthy, but, she added: ~ can not feel
that l have any claim m him now"
