 The best account of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the head of the crockery, glass and drug de- pertinent, which occupies the basement.
 "The workmen were saving a wooden floor beam," said he, about the end of the central pillars in the middle of the store. The excavation of the cellar was going on at about the base of this pillar, and believe that jarring of the beam

ART WORKS ARE LOST

New York, August S.-St. Thomas Epis- copal church at Fifth avenue and Fifty third street, one of the most richly fur nished religious edifices in America, was wrecked by fire today. Within block of the ruined church are the homes Of half score of the countrys wealthie' men, On Fifty-fourth street, directly < the rear, is the city residence of Job A Rockefeller, and nearby are the resi- e of William Rockefeller, H. Mckay 4 bley, Col. J. J. McCook and t me of the late Daniel s. Lamont. The Aotel St. Regis Is scarcely one block away and scores of the finest city homes in America are in the section of which St. Thomas church was practically the center. The fire was confined to the church.
 Defective electric wiring is supposed to have started the fire. The loss is estimat- ed by Fire Chief Croker at least quarter of million dollars. Only mere shell of stone walls was left standing, and many valuable paintings and bas reliefs were ruined One bronze bas relief called 'The Alteration of the Cross" and val ued at s5000o, was totally destroyed. Two large paintings, "The Resurrection and Christ Healing the Sick were also burned. John LaF'arge executed the paint ings and the bas relief was from Augus- tus St. Gaudens, Sumptuous altar and chancel furnishings and s2ooo0 organ were destroyed.
 For time John D. Rockefeller's home was in danger. Bremen who stood with their hose lines in the windows of MT. Rockefeller's home, concentrated the streams of water on the 206-foot tower of the church which for time threatened to toppIe over onto the Rockefeller home owing to the intense heat at the towers 8 base.
 A dramatic incident, the ringing of a big bell in the tower, marked the close of this struggle just at the moment when the firemen had succeeded in saving the homes from the impending danger The peril was greatest when the roof of the church fell in. This shock shook the great tower to it's top. The shrank back. but the only sign the tower gave was one stroke from the clapper of shaking bell Only little more than an hour elapsed between the time the smoke was first seen and the fall of the roof.
 The church, which was closed for the summer, had stood on It's present site for fifty years and has been the scene of some of Americas most brilliant wed- dings The Rev. Ernest Stirres Is the rector
 The furnishings of the residence of Dr. W. Seward Webb was destroyed by fire men, who. broke into the house in order to drag their hose to an advantageous position.

who were under the wreckage. They were joined by scores of volunteer res- cuers and within an hour fifteen or twenty persons were carried out, none of
 them fatally injured.
 In short time the city's entire hos pital and ambulance force was on the scene, aided by half hundred doc tors from all parts of the city.
 The volunteer rescuers and firemen con- tinued the work until exhausted, when their places were taken by wrecl1ing force numbering 800 men from the New York Central and Delaware and Hud- son River railroads. These delved in the ruins all night, but the work of rescue proceeded slow. When darkness came 1t was estimated that nearly fifty persons still remained in the ruins, and that not more than half of these could survive the weight pressing upon them. Fortunately the wreckage did not take fire. Some one hundred persons are still unaccounted for, but fifty of these are cash boys, of which the firm roll makes it difficult to get anything like complete list of many others. In all, the company has 400 employees, but fifty of these are away on vacations.
 The building which collapsed stands In the heart of the shopping district and is owned partly by the company and part ly by the estate of the late David Orr. The loss to the company Is estimated at s200,0OO and $300,00o. The building was a very old one but until now con sidered perfectly sound, Extensive re- pairs were under way when the col lapse took place.

 Wednesday is the day set for the gen. eral street cleaning movement. There will be a pretty general suspension of business, all of the merchants yolun- teering to lend their carts and wagons and employees to assist in the work May or Behrman said the city hall would be closed during the day.

 The difficulties the authorities encoun- ter in trying to get at concealed cases was illustrated today when Police Offi- cer T. E. Gregson was, perhaps. fatally injured while trying to break into a house where there was known to be a case of yellow fever Gregson was called on to assist the authorities. So stub born was the opposition of the people at the house on Chartres street against invasion by the inspectors that it became necessary to break in, with the result that a heavy oaken door fell on Greg son and crushed him. He was removed to the hospital
