About Thirty Men Were Buried
In Debris.

Philadelphia, July 11.--Just how many
people perished in Yesterdays collapse of

bodies are at the morgue, three more
men are known to be buried in the ruins,
and there is no hope Of reaching them
alive. The possibility exists that still
others perished, Of whom the company
had no record. Thirty men we're hurt, Of
whom two will die,
The building was just being put under
roof, when a section about 80 feet wide
and extending the entire depth Of the

The building which was being erected
as an annex to the Bridgman plant, col

shorings were taken away from the con-
crete before it had properly set. A. s.
Revies, trading as the Sheet Metal and
Corniee company, of Washington, D. c.

structure was four stories high and the
heavy concrete came down like an avail
anche. Several persons were struck by
flying pieces of the concrete and cut
