THE BUILDING COLLAPSED
One Man Killed and Two Injured by tho
Failing Walls.


brooklyn May 26-The storage ware
house OF b. F, Latimer, on Atlantic ave
nue. collapsed yesterday afternoon, killing
one man and injuring two others Men
were at work repairing damage caused by
arecent fire. Theywere atwork on the lower
portion of the building, while the upper
part was still packed full of goods, and
many of the old beams were removed in
order to insert new ones. No jacks or
temporary trusses were used to sustain
the building.
The contractor had several men in the
cellar aconcreting it when he heard the
walls crack and several bricks fall. He
gave the warming to his men, and they all
got out in safety The men of Martin
Peterson, the framer were not so fortun-
ate. One Of them, Emil Erickson, was on
the fourth floor, and he, coming down
with the front wall, was instantly killed.
Charles Swenson was caught on the side
walk by the debris, and his legs were
badly crushed. John Wilson was dug out
of the ruins two hours after the accident.
He had a serious wound under the right
shoulder blade, but did not seem to notice
1t. The pecuniary damage will probably
reach S35, 900, of which $4,000 is on the
building.
Every workman engaged about the
establishment is now supposed to he ac-
counted for, and under the circumstances
1t is remarkable that there were no
greater number of casualties.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The senate dis

terday, completing tho consideration of
the metal schedule except the paragraphs
relating to lead and zinc and their manu-
features. These paragraphs promised to
precipitate struggle of some pretentions,
and as they were reached late in the after
noon 1t was deemed best to allow them to
go over until today. Mr., Hill, of New
York, it is understood, will mike the fight
against the duty on orgentferous lead
ores and pig lead. The interesting features
of the day were the debate on the Hawa-
iian resolution, Mr.. Blanchard's speech
and several sharp encounters between Mr..
Harris and Mr.. Haar, which preceded the
consideration of the tariff schedule
The entire afternoon in the house was
consumed in discussion of an omnibus
resolution from the committee on war
claims, grouping together thirty-seven
claims fog cotton, etc, aggregating Sl,040,
