A BIG COAL SLIDE.
Narrow Escape of Children ON G
Street This Morning.

Forr hundred tons of coal broke from Its
frail supports at the yard Of Charles Wer-
ner on G. street between North Capitol and
LIST street. east, shortly before IL O'Clock to-
day. and came very killing several
children who were playing in the vicinity.
Luckily. however. no one was hurt, al
though IL is wonderful how the children es-
capped. The coal was banked up nearly
thirty feet high, adjoining house No. 62 G.
street and vas inclosed by small layer of
cord wood stretched across the pile a wa
gon occupies a position in front Of the
yard. and here children were wont to play
during the day
This morning. however, they forsook the
wagon for some reason or other. and were
playing around IL when the crash came
One little girl heard the rumbling and
warned her companions. who ran with all
their might to the street barely escaping
the coal slide, which completely demolished
the wagon and covered the sidewalk. 1t
was thought at first that several children
were buried under the heap. and women
ran crying to and fro until their missing
ones. who were now thoroughly frightened,
appeared.
Mrs ]. NJ Holioran. who lives at No 81
g street northeast heard the coal when 1t
broke from its supports. She said 1t
sounded like clap of thunder. For some
time she, as well as the neighbors in the
vicinity. had been fearful lest this monster
pile OF coal should fall,
1t has been piled as high as the houses
and was only protected in front by layer
Of pine cordwood. So anxious had she be-
come that day before yesterday she noti-
fed Officers Gordon and Brady that the
place was dangerous. She afterward called
on Mr. Werner. the proprietor OF the place.
and laid the matter before him, but receiv-
ed no satisfaction.
Mrs. Eta Hughes was passing the yard at
the time the coal fell. and barely escaped.
The people in the neighborhood say that
place has teen in dangerous condition for
some time and they have repeatedly protest.
ed against il, but to no avail
There Is absolutely no law in the District
OF Columbia bearing on this subject, but the
Commissioners will take the matter up at
the next meeting of the board and prob
ably pass a regulation. This afternoon
