Of life and damage to adjoining property Of

der the ruins? By examining the east wall
you will see that these walls had no an
chor irons and plates through the walls
from the outside to secure them to the
1oists, thus preventing them from falling
outward by any unusual disturbance. These
walls are over 100 feet long and about 80
feet or n ore above the adjoining property
and there being nothing to secure them,
the wind at say sixty miles an hour
through the open front, acting like an i'm
mense piston, pressed the unsecured, weak
est wall out, causing the damage. The
building Inspector should never have given
permit to any architect or builder for
such work. Some one should be respons-
ible."
A Talk With Achitect Brown.
Mr.. Glenn Brown. the architect of the
Albert building, was seen this afternoon at
his office In the Union building, on street.
There was nothing wrong in the con-
struction of the building" said Mr.. Brown.
THE end Of each iron beam was securely
anchored in either WALL just as the beams
IN this building are anchored. The anchors
did not go to the outside of the wall, but
were secured in the brickwork. In COM
pany with Mr.. Albert and myself Messrs.
Brady and King have Just visited the build
ing. and they expressed themselves as per-
fectly satisfied with the construction of
the building, and said that they would SO
testify if necessary in the courts"

Nearly Half n Million, Not Counting
Damage to Trees.
The streets are still filled with uprooted
trees, broken branches, tin from house
tops and pieces Of timber from sheds,
houses and fences, and the street cleaning
department expects it will be several days
before all the distractions are removed
and the streets cleaned. Superintendent
Mckenzie of this department says he will
work all the men he can get and Will do
his best to have the city cleaned by Satur-
day night, but he hardly expects he will be
able to succeed. There are SO many small
branches of trees and heavy material on
the streets that he expects it will be next
week by the time the debris Is all removed.
Wheelmen are having a hard time with
their pneumatic tires because of the great
quantity of glass on the streets. The
pieces Of glass have been driven over SO
much territory and ground so fine that
slow punctures are caused, and some OF
the repair shops are reaping harvest.
For this reason the wheelmen are particu-
larly anxious that the streets should be
cleaned as early as possible. In many
places people anxious to get wood for fuel
have cleared the streets Of the heavier
nen employed on the work of the District
and result in the streets being cleared
earlier than they would otherwise have
been.
there was a large tree uproeted. a well
forty feet deep was found beneath the tree.
The tree was an old one and none of the
old residents of the neighborhood knew Of
the existence of the well. An examination
showed that the well was regularly bricked
and lined and was, of course, built many
years ago.
Estimated Losses.
Chief Clerk Sylvester Of the police de-
partment received from the lieutenants of

OF damage to property done in the several

not caring to take any risks.
A number Of requests for inspections Of

examine every case. Owing to the limited
force, however. the inspections are neces-
sarily slow. The department Is relying
not alone upon the requests of property
owners and residents for reports Of dan

partment has been directed to report all
such buildings, and as fast as possible they
are being looked into.
The building inspector has closed the

made necessary by the damage done by

After a conference today with the super
intendent of the street and alley cleaning
department.. the Commissioners took defin-
ite action concerning the cleaning of the
streets, which are filled with DEBRIS the re-
suit of the storm. They ordered:
"That the superintendent Of the street
and alley cleaning department is directed
to organize a force of men to assist in re-
moving tree limbs and trunks Of trees from
the streets and avenues, in addition to the
force now employed by the street cleaning
department and the parking commission,
to be paid out of the emergency fund, suffi-
cient in number to clear the streets within
a reasonable time; and for that purpose he
Is requested to employ as many expert
wood choppers having axes Of their own
as he can find; and to inform property
owners that the limbs Of trees chopped into
appropriate lengths and left in front of
their residences may be removed by them
for their own use, and If not so utilized by
them within reasonable time, any person
desiring the same may remove them; and
that the said superintendent report to the
Commissioners as early as possible the
number of men and teams that he can use
for this purpose"
The Loss of Trees.
AS yet the parking commission has re-
ceived no reports upon which to base an
estimate Of the Eumber Of trees in the Dis
trict that were destroyed in the great
storm. That the number will be a large
one when it Is finally known goes without
saying: a far larger number then ever re-
suited from any storm in the history of the
city.
Mr.. William Saunders, one of the MEM
bers Of the commission, said to Star re-
porter this afternoon:
Il have been SO busily occupied with the
clearing up Of the debris in the grounds of
the Agricultural Department that I have
not had any opportunity OF figuring upon
the amount Of damage done throughout

opportunity IS you have had yourself. The

CHICAGO, July S.-The New York delegation, after an exciting confer ence this morning, decided not to bolt. There was no vote, but the sentiment was strongly against it. Perry Bel mont was in favor of an immediate withdrawal, as was Congressman George B. Mcclellan.
 No mention of bolting the conven- tion was made at the gold mems meet ings except when Irish of California said in closing his speech: Well, if something happens, know what l shall do."
 Governor Russell of Massachusetts and Whitney were averse to hasty or ill tempered action no matter what oc- cured. General Bragg made the state ment that he would not support a sill yer platform or ticket.

CHICAGO, July S-1t is the night of the second day of the National Dem ocratic convention and the temporary organization has just been disposed of The concluding action of the conven- tion tonight, prior to adjournment, was the assumption of the gavel of permanent chairman by Senator Steph- en M. White of California, who by his action it is considered has declared himself out of the race for vice presi- dent.
 The day was spent in wrangling, at least that portion that was not spent in impatiently waiting for the report of the dilatory committee on credentials. Michigan and Nebraska were taken away from the gold men by the force of superior strength. The gold men threaten to bolt, and it is believed are only deterred by the evident fact that the silverites don't care whether they bolt or not. It is a silver convention all the way through, and the silver men would as soon turn it into love feast. Tomorrow morning will come up the report of the committee on resolu- tions. This will have minority re- l port to override, and there is a pros ! pect that the nominations will have to be again deferred and that the con- vention is due to stay for several days yet. Chicago cares not. She is reap ing crop of shekels galore and the city is crowded with politicians, all liberal in expenditure
 As to presidential indications, Bland seems to have the inside track. He has gained the vote of Tennessee and this morning the Pennsylvanians con- cluded to drop Sibley and go over to Bland. The objections that are being raised to the Missourian are that he is from an immaterial state and that he has in the past expressed himself too warmly for free trade to be an acceptable candidate to the hundreds of thousands of silver Republicans whose votes are confidently expected to place the Democratic nominee in the executive chair. But Boies is gaining no strength and Teller is clearly re
