WAY TO HOSPITAL.
Death of Victim of New York
Building Collapse.
Buried Thirty Hours Under Steel
Beams and Stone.
General Contractor and Superintendent
Surrender Themselves.

New York, March AFTER living
more than 80 hours under the mass Of
stee! beams and other debris of the
collapsed Hotel Darlington, in West
18th street, Charles Lask, cement
worker, died. early today. while being
carried to Flower hospital in an am
bulance. This increased the known
dead to Il.
The finding of 4 live human being
amidst the mass of iron work. brick
and mortar shortly after 2 o'clock, this
morning. was. perhaps. the most SEN
satiOnal thing of the kind in the histo-
ry Of similar disasters in this city.
From the hour of the collapse hun
dreds Of men have struggled amid the
wreckaGe. with derricks. to get to the
bottom of the pile, whore more thar
half dozen dead fellow wOrk.ncn were
known 70 lie. Suddenly when Il high
beam had been hnisted, a man half
pinioned below was seen to move. A
great shout went up and hurry calls
were mado for an ambulance. Owing
to the posi-; ion of the imprisoned man
great care had to be exercised in free
ing him and nearly an hour elapsed
before this was accomplished.
Meanwhile the surgeons had crawled
into the pile and reached mis- side. He
was given stimulants internally and
in 'ections OF whisltey with cocaile AMI
hopes were strong Of saving the man
who had escaped death in the crash
and then fought off suffocation and
starvation SO long. He was carefully
lifted into an ambulance. but died be
fore tho hospital was reached One
arm had been broken and there was a
great hole in the mans head. His vi
tality must have been tremendous to
survive SO long with these injuries. not
to mention his position in the debris.
At the hospital I.ask's identity was
quickly established by means of a
union card in one of his pockets.
That several bodies, possibly nine or

wrecked Darlington. apartment BULL

expressed. toIay. after conferences
with Foreman Halpin OF the iron
workers on the building. and Joseph
Yeamans. walking delegate of the as

Yeame,is said fhatNfS men of hi; uni

only three of whom had been accounted
for and Halpin told the coroner that
nine or 10 had been working as house,
smiths and lathers on some of the up

been given. The fact that I.aZk was
still alive when taken from the ruins
early today, and that the body of Al
exander l.. Johnston. taken out, late
last night showed pyidopce of rncent
death gave hope that other victims
might be rescued alive and the work OF
removing the wreckage was continued
with the utmost energy.

NEVER DREAM.
But There's Way to Find Out.

So many say: why I never
dreamed coffee was the cause of the
trouble" a Wichita woman made Il
test as follows: Il had for years been
troubled with severe nervous headaches
that evidently came from my stomach
but | did not dream that my favoritc
coffee had anything TO do with it.
Il used to suffer terrible pains in the
region of my heart and these gave nc
great uneasincss, for an attack would
leave me breathless and weak.
Il drank coffee three times a day and
thought l could not do without it and
rs my mothers family nearly all died
suddenly of heart disease I thought The
pains around my heart showed that
had inherited organic weakness of the
heart. Two years ago husband and
talked it over and concluded that coffee
might be agEravating my heart trouble.
50 | stopped drinking coffee and took
Postum Food Coffee. still making COFFEE
for the rest of the family.
The result WAS quick disappear
ance OF The pains around my heart.
My headaches disappeared and of late
! have hardly known what a headache
is while my general health is better
than ever before in my life. Ny family
soon began to notice what Postum did
for me and Their my eldest boy asked
me to make Postum for him instead of
coffee as he thought coffee made him
nervous and interfered with his studies.
Then my oldest daughter who is a
hookkeepcr made the same request and
to cut a long story short my whole
family Low drink Postum in place of
coffee and much prefer it to coffee and
even nephew who came on a visit to
us for month found such a change in
his condition from drinking Postum in
place of coffee that when he went back
home he continued to drink Postum
and induced his mother and sister to
drink it and in that way the use o:
Postum in place of coffee has spread
among my relatives.
In the case of everyone that has
made the change there has been a
marked Improvement in health and we
know that it is due to having left Off
the coffee and drank the Postum for if
I happen to go away from home and
drink a cup of coffee I cannot get any
sleep that night and suffer misery. 1t
seems to me that if health is worth
while to anybody they had better Quit
coffee and give Postum a trial" Name
given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, JAM 2S.-The speculative
party which has persistently supported
stocks through the later stages of the
recent advance desisted today and allowed
prices to slip back without any apparent
measure to resist During the morning
there was big buying order executed In
Atchison, which lifted that stock a large
fraction over last night. and which was
attributed to the organized bull party
for the purpose of supporting the market.
1t was accompanied, however, by the ru-
NOR that Atchison was soon to be listed
on the Berlin Boerse, and the fact that
Atchison has block of $4,000, 900 of
bonds for sale was supposed to further
such motives for stimulating the market
for the stock The movement was met
fectivc in checking the declining tendency
elsewhere. The rally in the last hour was
palpably due TO covering of short con
tracts by room professionals and pointed
to an Inference that the days selling had
been on the short side The bears, how
ever, found it so easy to secure stocks
that they dessted from their buying and
prices sagged again to the end of the day.
The closing was weak and dull Futile
efforts. il was said, were still being made
to bring the Southern iron makers to
terms of agreement for production and
selling. United States Steel, preferred,
was not illogically the weakest and most
active stock under these circumstances. A
baton of very unfavorable railroad earn
ngs for December furnished another re-
