Thirteen People Killed and 50
Injured at Funeral Service.
Half Of the Auditorium Collapsed, Car
rylng Down 100 Persons Who Were
Crushed In the Wreckaoe of Floor
ing and Pews-Structure Was Con-
demned Several Years Ago.

New York, Feb. 28.-Thirteen per-
sons were killed and upwards Of so
others injured, some probably fatally,
by the collapse of the flooring of the
Fleet Street African M. e, Zion church
in Brooklyn last night. OF those
killed 10 We're women, two men and
one child.
The building was an ancient ram
shackle frame structure erected GO
years ago in the heart Of the colored
section of Brooklyn, in Fleet street
pear Myrtle avenue.
Arrangements had been made to
hold the funeral services of Sydney
Tainter, one of the older members Of
the church, and the auditorium, which
is on the second floor of the building,
the ground floor being used by the
Sunday school, was crowded with an
audience of upwards Of 300 persons,
of whom the majority were women.
lepce for the arrival of the body and
Pastor Jacobs was standing at the al
tar, awaiting the summons to meet the
funeral procession at the door, Aen
sharp cracking of timbers was
heard and in an instant the half of
the auditorium nearest the door col
lapsed, carrying down more than 100
persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring and pews.
7 A, great volume Of dust for few mo
ments hid from view the victims.
The remainder of the audience find
ing themselves cut off from the door
and expecting every instant that the
rest of the flooring would collapse un-
der them, fought madly to reach the
windows and In some instances per-
sons leaped from them and sustained
serious injuries.
On the arrival of the police and fire
men the work of rescue began. Those
remaining uninjured on the portion of
the floor remaining intact were taken
from the windows by means of lad
ders, Those lying in the mass of
wreckage on the lower floor could
only be got at after the firemen had
hewed their way to them with axes.
Out of the wreck 10 bodies were re-
covered and taken to a station house
and about 80 persons were removed
to the Brooklyn hospital, where three
women died soon after being admit
ted All the ambulances in Brooklyn
were called out and about a score Of
those hurt were able to go home after
their injuries had been attended to.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
in the station house, which was
thronged with relatives and friends
who came to identify the dead.
Those killed were: Bertha Green,
Teresa Ellis, Samuel Chisholm, Anna
Rean, Anna Sullivan, Louisa Smith,
Mary Scott, four unidentified women,
one unidentified child, one unidentified
man.
The cause of the collapse was the
decayed condition of the beams and
supports of the flooring.
