Report of the Chamber of Commerce
COmmission-S12,O 900 Needed at Once to
support $500 Families.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb 27.-The chamber
of commerce commission which inves-
tigated the miners destitution in the
Hooking valley has reported to the
governor as follows:
Throughout the entire region we
have found the unemployed miners in
the most extreme condition of destitu-
tion, depending upon the weekly issue
of the relief committee for their entire
subsistence. In the past year variety
of causes made the working time of
these laborers extremely short, vary
ing from forty-two days to three
months in all. This has resulted in an
average income to the miners Of twen-
ty-seven cents per day during the year
of 1894. There could be naturally but
one result. Men whose entire yearly
pay had ranged from $40 to S12O could
not possibly support a family and they
have necessarily incurred debts.
"There are in round numbers 2. 500
families which must be supported
through their extremity. This COM
mission is of the opinion that it will
require $4,000 to accomplish this re-
sult

fourth floor of the building known as
the old malt house fell with crash,

at work upon it. Five men were killed
and seven injured.
The building, which was six-story
one, was being torn down in order that
four fat houses might be erected in its
place. The workmen had taken down
the two top floors and were at work
pulling down the fourth floor and had
piled up'a lot of bricks on this floor
which the wheelbarrow men were car
rying away, when, under the heavy
load, the iron beams supporting the
floor broke, carrying the bricks, iron
rafters, beams of wood and iron and
the dozen men at work there with it.
An alarm of fire was sent in and in a
few minutes two hook and ladder teams
and two engines were on the scene.
After few moments work the fire.
men dug out number of the unfortu-
nate workmen who had been buried in
the ruins and they were sent to the hos
pital. The search for those who were
more deeply buried was continued and
soon several men were taken out. Two
of them were dead, which left little
hope for those who were still under the
mass of bricks and girders Several of
those taken out had been badly
crushed. Their legs and arms were
broken and they were otherwise in
jured The list of the dead as far as
known is as follows:
Charles Robson, 81 years old; "No.
g." an unknown Italian German boy
about II years old; two men, unknown,
supposed to be in the ruins.
The contractors, Patrick Keegan and
George 0Keefe, who were tearing down
the old building, were arrested and
held on the charge of manslaughter.
Yesterday afternoon the interior of
four tenements in course of construc-
ton on Orchard street crashed in with
out a moments warning and dozen
briclSlayers and laborers who were
working on it were carried into the
cellar with the falling walls The dust
that arose had hardly settled before
rescuers were at work trying to extri-
cate the buried men. The fremen were
also summoned and in few minutes
several of the unfortunate workmen
were dug out of the ruins
One man, an Italian laborer, is miss
ing and it is believed he is dead in the
ruins He was known to his fellow
workmen by the name of Jimmy Ross.
The owner of the building is William
L. Lennon. Both of the contractors
as well as the owner were present when
the accident occurred. They were
placed under arrest The charge made

A PLUNGE TO DEATH.
Nearly a Hundred People Killed
on q Mexican Railroad.
An Excursion Train Dashes Down Steep
Embankment on the Side o. 2 Noun
tain and the Engine and Three
Coaches Are Completely De-
molished.

CITY OF MEXICO, March "A wreck
ing train arrived here early yesterday
morning from the scene of Thursdays
accident on the Inter-oceanic railroad.
1t brought forty persons who had
been injured in the crash. Many per-
sons were left dead near the spot where
the train left the rails, others were on
the point of death and of those who
were brought back ten or twelve can
not possibly recover.
The loss of life in the wreck was
made known last evening. Thirty-five
persons were killed and forty injured.
The death list is likely to be increased,
as several passengers who were brought
back in the wrecking train are ex-
pected to die within twenty-four hours.
The crew of the wrecking train told
the first detailed story of the accident.
The train consisted of ten coaches. 1t
was chartered to pilgrims from Amce-
maca and the engineer was under or
ders to run carefully. 1t was filed
with pilgrims-many of them women
and children.
About twenty-eight miles from the
capital and midway between Toma-
matte and Tcnango there is steep
down grade. On one side of the track
the blasted rock forms high wall, on
the other is steep descent At a point
where the descent reaches down about
thirty feet the track makes sharp
curve. The trains usually round it at
half speed, but for reason not yet as
certained the engineer of the pilgrims
train tried to make it without slowing
down. Either the rails spread or the
engine jumped the track. The engine
and tender broke loose from the coaches
and rolled down the embankment. The
coaches ran off about fifty yards furth-
er on. The rear coaches crashed down
against the engine and tender and tres
tie and went to pieces at the foot of the
embankment. Five coaches were
smashed to splinters.
About twenty passengers were able
to extricate themselves without severe
injury and they began rescuing those
who were pinioned under the wreck.
When the doctors arrived on the
wrecking train they found forty pill
grims near the wreck and five who
had not yet been taken from the ruins
because there was no way of cutting
them loose. The five were rescued first
and put on the train. The doctors
worked for five hours to get the injured
in condition to make the journey back.
