ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. S.-Part of
the building occupied by the depart
ment store of the John G. Myers
company collapsed at S:45 this morn
ing, burying beneath the ruins from
so to 100 persons. But a portion of
the wreck has been explored, conse-
quently the definite number of vic
tins is unknown. Girls and young
boys compose a majority of the dead
and injured. The cause Is believed
to be due partly to excavations being
made preparatory to improvements.
Robert Chalmers, one of the firm,
is missing and is believed to be un-
der the debris.
The store had opened for business
when the catastrophe occurred. The
side walls and roof in the immediate
center of the building fell three floors,
constituting mass of mangled hui
manity and broken timbers, brick and
iron piled into the cellar. The struc-
ture is in the center of the shopping

TELFGRApHERS CLAIM ALL
MANNER OF ENCOURAGEMENT

ut is the greatest day we have
had since the strike began" is the
statement made by the telegraph
operators at the headquarters today
The strikers claim everything is COM
ing their way from all divis Cns on
both roads. Operators say men
brought to this country from the east
by the railroads have been prevailed
upon to join the strikers. This morn
ing several of them are said to have
left the road and sided in with the
telegraphers.
Deputy President Tanquary says
this has demoralized the railroads
worse than anything else since the
trouble began. Pickets of the strikers
say the railroads in consequence are
forced to take clerks from the super
iutendents' offices and send them
along the line to operate the stations

At o'clock three bodies had been

TO RESTRAIN
Mp. BENJAMIN

The Best Clothing company has
commenced action restraining Isaac
Benjamin from using the name of the
plaintif in disposing of the damaged
stock of goods formerly owned by
the plaintiff. An injunction was is
sued today by Judge KEENAN, upon
application of Attorney Samuel II.
Stern.
The complaint alleges that part
of the consideration for the transfer
of the goods consisted of Mr.. Ben
jamin's agreement not to use the
name of the plaintiff company in adj
vertising the sale of the goods. NJ.
G.. Martindale. president OF the plain
tiff corporation. feels that his good
name and business have been injured
by MIR. Benjamin's failure to observe
this condition of the sale. Mr. Ben

Clothing company, a competitor OF
the plaintiff, and the plaintif fears
the result of the use of its name in
connection with the business of the
defendant concerning damaged goods.

Gay with flags and bunting every
building In Portsmouth was astir
early this morning to greet the peace
plenipotentiaries. Every point of van
tage from which even distant view
of the ship bringing the ENJOYS was
crowded with people.
At 8 o'clock the warships could be
seen from the veranda of the Hotel
Wentworth coming in squadron for
nation. The vessels dropped anchor
off the navy yard at about 8 o'clock.
Half an hour later M. Witte, who
arrived by train last night, left the
Hotel Wentworth in launch and
boarded the Mayfower to be present
when Rear Admiral Mead, in COM
mand of the navy yard, made his for
NAL call.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the adj
mirals launch left the navy yard
with the commander and two aides.
The marine guards visited the May
flower first. The Dolphin was next
visited. The firing of guns and other
ceremonious salutations were the
feature of the calls.
This was soon concluded and prep
aration was made by the ENJOYS to
go ashore. Seven government
launches were placed at their dis
posal. 1t was after / o'clock before
the whole party had landed at the

Local opinion in regard to the new

either have to bring in more regular
