FOIUR7STORY BRICK BLOCK IN
WHEELING COMES DOWN
WITH A CRASH.
SIX LIVES LOST AND SEVERAL.
INJURED.
Fire Broke Out Immediately After the
Collapse-The Accident Was Caused
by Adding q Story on Con
demned Walls.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 9-At 8 20 this
morning the north wrll of the forr-srory
brick block of II. Il. Hutchison & Co.,
hardware dealers, at Main and Twelfth
streets, collapsed without warning. Next
north of it, w. =. Chapman & Son were
just finishing five-story brick block to
be used as a builders supply store and
already having stored in it $4,000 in
stock and were doing business there.
The crash of the falling building was ter
rife and soon drew thousands to the
scene. The horror of the accident was in
creased by Il fire which broke out imme-
diately after the collapse
The following persons lost their lives
in the accident:
Father +. III. Parke aged ~, vicar
general of the Catholic diocese of Wheel
ing.
BENJAMIN. Il. pritchard. wagon manu-
facturer of Buchanan, w. Va.
Harry Cowler, Western Union mes
senger, aged Ii.
Robert Wincher
Eugene Birsch
+. j. Horan.
The last three were employees of Hutch
inson & c., and their bodies, with that
of young Cowler's are still in the ruins.
Charles Haller, the bookkeeper, and
Adam Blum, junior partner, were pinned
against the rear wall, but were released
unhurt by prying the iron bars off the
windows.
Mr.. Hutchinson was in the second
story and was badly injured, but was
rescued alive, and hopes are entertained
that he may recover.
Nj. j. Ford, an emplOyc, was reached
after hard work by u large force of men
and found alive and conscious. He may
get well.
The falling brick and timbers knocked
a hole 30 feet long in the three-story
brick building across the alley occupied
by S. NJ Rice e. Co., wholesale millners
and the smoke and water ruined that
firms valuable stock.
Speyer Bros. wholesale milliners, and
OFT Bros, hardware, will also lose heav-
lily by smoke and water.
Cellers were flooded for a block, 10
streams playing all day, and averaging
10000 gallons minute, and yet, ut 3
p. m, the fire was not eXtinguished.
Great Indignation is expressed because
at the time the old AIelodeon hall prop
erty was remodelled and story added in
1891 by Mr.. Hutchinson the walls were
condemned, but he persisted in using
them, and owing to the lack of laws could
not be prevented.
The loss will probably aggregate 81 ,150,-
600, but owing to the fact that the condi-
ton of stock in adjoining stores cannot
vet be ascertained the losses can only be
estimated II. T. Hutchinson & Cos.
loss will reach $4,000.

SPECTATORS DISAPPOINTED.
No Sensational Developments in the Ar
kansas Legislature.

Little Rock, Ark, April ga great
throng of spectators crowded the CALLER
les of the house of representatives today,
expecting that impeachment proceedings
would be instituted against Governor
Clarke.
Mr.. Monroe, the member who was to
present the articles against the governor,
was prevailed upon by cooler-headed
members to refrain from percipitating a
fresh row in the closing days of the ses-
sion. He, however, introduced a resolu-
ton, censuring the governor for assault
ing Representative Jones last Sunday.
Only 60 members voted and 40 of them
voted against the resolution.
The expectations of sensational devel-
opments in the report of the bribery in
vestigation committee were not realized.
The committee reported that it had
thoroughly investigated the charges of
bribery in connection with the defeat OF
the railroad commission bill and as re-
suit the recommendation is the charge
preferred by Representative Yancy that
he had been bribed by II. i. Cox, be re-
ferred to the grand jury.
Talk of Governor Clarke calling an ex-
ira session to reconsider the railroad com
mission bill anew is strongly INDUCED in
tonight. The supposed plan of the anti
commission men, if the call is made, is to
meet and adjourn without ceremony.

SUPERVISORS.

We believe that these officers should
be salaried and not less than Il thous-
and dollars each, and the members be
required to give their entire time and
atteRtion to the conntY's business af-

investigate all official bonds, books, ac-
counts and doings. They might also
constitute County Court, before whom
all matters now coming under magis-
terial jurisdiction, could be tried They

men connot be had for mere paltry
per diem and mileage. 10 compen-
safe for these salaries which we deem
only just, we would eliminate the per

The M. P. A. Proceedings.

IN this city last May, bearing the i'm

luton, offered by Mr.. 8. b. Brown
of the Water Valley Progress, was
adopted:
Resolved, That q committee, consisting Of
, the President, Secretary and Treasurer, be
appointed. with authority to let out the print
ing OF the minutes to the lowest and best
bidder; two hundred and nifty copies to be
printed. and to be completed by 18th Of July;
bids to be confined to printing Offices located
within the State.

nized the above resolution we cannot
say, but we do know that we sought
an opportunity to bid upon the print.

in view wrote to two members of that
committee but failed to receive any
information that would enable us to
make bid for the printing of the
proceedings II there is "nigger in

ISOLATION should know it, as each one
has to pay the same amount into the
treasury of the association and should
lie accorded the same privileges. In
this instance we know that such has
not been the case. Kissing may go
by favor, but when an association di-
reefs in what manner it's contracts |
shall be let it is the plain duty Of the !
officers to whom that duty is entrust- |
ed to perform it without favor. Will |
the committee inform the members OF
the association why they did not COM
ply with that resolution? Or does the
printing of the proceedings of the
Press Association belong to
The Clarion Ledger by right of pre-
emption? Even If so. the committee
should have at least treated a mem.er
seeking an opportunity to bid upon
