COLLAPSE OF STEEL ARCHES.
Nine Men Killed Outright and Four
Fatally Injured.


Chicago, Aug. &.-Twelve steel arches.
each weighing thirty-three tons, which
We're 70 have supported the superstructure
OF the Coliseum building in course of cree
uon on Wabash avenue, between Fifteenth
ana Sixteenth streets, fell to the ground
late this afternoon. As result OF the ac-
cident, nine men are dead two missing.
four fatally injured and nine badly hurt.
The dead are: Charles WaGpot, Edward
Murray Frank Logan, Stephen j. Thomp-
son, John tarrey Richard Sherman, Theo-
dore Thorn, Leroy Fenner, Al. Norman.
The fatally injured are: John Maraham,
fractured skull and fractured right leg;
J. J. Dowd, internal injuries, both eyes
out, both legs broken; Peter Pelitier, right
arm cut off at shoulder, skull fractured;
John White, skull fractured internal in
juries.
Those missing and believed to be in the
ruins are Edward Swanson and Joseph
King.
The immense "traveler" on the derrick,
which has been used in the erection of
the arches had been removed and the
counting their work as practically com
pleted, when suddenly, and without the
slightest warning, the arch last put in
place suddenly fell over against the one
next to it. The weight was too much
for this, it gave way, crashed against the
third, and then, one by one. the great
steel span fell over to the south, precisely
in the same manner as a number of cards
would fall.
Nearly all the men who We're killed were
at work on top of the arches forty feet
above the ground. Most of them were
killed outright by the awful nature of
their injuries. The skulls of the unfor-
tunate men were crushed into shapeless
masses their limbs were cut off as if by
a monster knife, and they were mangled
beyond recognition.
The crash was heard many blocks dis
tant and the structure fell, leaving the
walls practically uninjured. That more
men were not killed and injured was al
most a miracle. Fully fifty men were
al work in the space covered by the
arches as they fell. A number Of the
men jumped into small excavations, Of
which there are many in the ground be
meath the steel works and were saved
from the great masses of steel that crush
ed down over them.
The direct cause of the accident is not
known and it will probably be several days
before it is determined.
one theory is that a shifting of sand be-
meath the foundation caused the collapse
of the first arch which brought all the
others 10 the ground.
The management has decided to at once
replace the arches ard proceed with the
immediate completion of the building and
have it ready for the ma ional conventions
next summer. The loss will not exceed
S25, ,O00.
The worst feature of the accident was the
loss of time.
