List of the Victims-Cause of the
Terrible Mishap.

Haverstraw, N. Y, Jan. 10-Seven-
teen persons are missing and are be-
lieved to have gone to their death when
13 houses on Rockland street in
Haverstraw toppled over Monday
night into a pit 60 feet deep, which
had been cut by clay diggers in con-
nection with the brick-making indus
try here. Twelve Of the persons miss
ing were occupants of the fallen
houses. Five were among the res
cuers who went to the aid of neigh
bors after the first house fell and
were carried down when the II other
houses went crashing over the preci-
pice. The wreckage quickly caught
fire, and those who were in the mass
were either crushed or burned to
death. There is grave fear of another
cave-in along the same street, and the
occupants of seven or eight houses
have moved away. Others are keep
ing vigil, ready to alarm their neigh
bors in case of impending danger.
The Missing.
The missing, all of whom are be-
lieved to be dead, are as follows:
Harris Nelson, merchant; Benjamin
Nelson, his son; NJ. Silverman and
young son; Charles Cohen and wife;
P Mannito and wife; John B. Beau

The Victims.

Following is a list of the dead:
Capt. John Berwin, of Truck No /,
fell from the fourth floor to the Fifth
street sidewalk; was attempting to
save Mrs. Marlow's life at the time
W. G. Nichols, Minneapolis, Cham
Der of Commerce; suffocated in his.
room on the sixth floor.
Thomas Sumerville, travelling man
| from Springfield, Mass suffocated in
his room on the sixth floor.
j. e. Wolf, northwestern agent of
the Sperry & Alexander company, Of
New York; suffocated in his room on
the seventh floor.

from New York; suffocated in room

building.
Mrs. M. E. Hodges, Minneapolis;
jumped from the seventh story window
on the south side of the building; was
building.
William Black, New York; suffocat-
! ed in room.
Guests in Panic.
The fire in itself was insignificant
being confined to the elevator shaft
and the top floor in the corner of the
building, but the wild excitement
which followed the first alarm hurried
| people into halls and out upon window
lodges in a frantic attempt to save
themselves. There was really no help
for several who lost their lives. The
wood in the elevator shaft burned like
finder and sheet of fame 20 feet wide
mounting to the seventh story fright
ened the guests out Of their senses and
induced panic which struck terror to
the stoutest hearts. 1t was the huge
volume of smoke that stampeded the
guests, as the. moment a door was
opened the room was filled with smoke
and the panic-stricken guests were
compelled to beat out the windows to
prevent instant suffocation. Many
used their hands against the windows,
others their feet, and in almost every
instance ugly wounds resulted.
! Work of the Firemen.
Following the first alarm, the de-
partment was quickly on the scene and
the splendid work of rescue began.
, Although the hour was early, hundreds
Of people thronged the streets and
gazed up at the great hotel whose
windows were alive with guests fran
tically watching the firemen below and
yelling to them to hurry Here and
there men were crouched on the ledge
J, of the windows, ready to obey the in
sane impulse of self-preservation
which suggested leap to the ground.
The crowd realized this, and from a
thousand threats the cry frantically
went up don't jump, don't jump"
1t was lucky that this advice was
given, for several men declared after
wards that they certainly would have
, made the leap if the crowd had not
. encouraged them to hold on.
The fire loss will not go over $780,
900. although the catastrophe was one
; of the worst ever experienced in this
city.

bill by Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) opened the
proceedings in the house Wednesday.

pirate marking of the graves of con-
| federate soldiers who died in north

burn in support of his bill creating a

not dictate the financial course of the

power for evil.

injected into the Philippine tariff de
bate in the house of representatives
Friday by a Massachusetts "idea" tariff
exposition by Mr.. Mccall, of that

New Methods Are Help.

New Methods Are Help.
According to the secretary, economic
revolution in the art and science of
agriculture, which became noticeable
in this country half a dozen years ago
has continued during 1906 with tire
mendous effect upon the nations pros
perity.
Crops so large as to be beyond any
rational comprehension he continues
"have strained the freight carrying
ability of railroads. Directly and indi-
rectly the farmer has set up demand
for irCn and steel that has exceeded
the productive power of the chief pro-
Queer among nations. His contribu-
ton to the supply of loan capital has
been beyond calculation and recalls
the fact that the depression in the
loan and investment market of 1908
was cleared away by the following
crop. Meanwhile. the farmer has been
a generous consumer and has given
powerful support to the market of the
industrial producer, to the trade of the
merchant and to the wages of the
workingman."
The crop estimates used by Score
