Washington is to-day oity of mourn
and garbed in the beauties of spring are
strangely hushcd and silent for every
section the messenger of death has
visited, and homes that Thursday knew
no trace of sorrow are to-day the abid.
ing places of grief and woe. Brides
OF Thursday were widows Friday and
the cries Of many orphans are rising in
condemnation of tho criminal negli.
gence of y culpably careless nature.
Other cities have felt the visitationa
of awful calamities. They have been
swept by IRE and deluged by food,
and plaques have dscimated their com.
munitieS In the national capital OF
the proudest nation of the earth there
has been r catastrophe almost unpara.
lelled in the annals of history. And in
every mind there is the horrible convic.
tion that It's Genes, is to be found in
the criminal negligence of govern.
ment too parsimonious to provide for
the safety of its loyal servants by erect
ing proper buildings for their accom-.
modation.
BY o'clock Friday evening the last
body had been taken out vs. it was
known then that there could be no life
in the crushed bodies that lay in the
cavity into which the debris nas settled.
1t is thought that there are several
| bodies there, but work has been sus.
pended until Saturday. Coroner Pat.
terson viewed the bodies at the morgue
and will hold an investigation Satur.
day or Sunday.
The fall of tho building was caused
by an excavation that was being made
in the cellar for the purpose of putting
in electric light dynamos The founda.
tions were undermined and supporting
piers gave away.
At 4 o'clock Friday afternoon meet.
ing of the business men of tho city was
held at Wizards hall, for the purpose
of relieving the bereaved families of the
killed and injured. Commissioners
Parker presided and In short time the
sum of $4,70s was raised by the sub
scriptions of those present.
| A check for 500 was received from
President Cleveland and one for S25
from Private Secretary Thurber. A
committee of five was appointed to
carry on the work.
