TENEMENT FALLS;
CHILD IN RUINS
ESCAPES DEATH
Edgar Desch, 7, Falls with
Debris of Building Wind
Blows Down.
PLAYING ALONE ON
SECOND-ST TIMBERS
Excitement Among Women Gree
ated by Reports That Other
Children We're Caught.

Left alone in a big unfinished double
three-story tenement building, 443-45
South Thirteenth street, little Edgar
Desch. years old had a remarkable
escape from death this afternoon when
a violent gust OF wind blew the struo-
ture to the ground.
The lad was playing on the second
floor when the house collapsed, and
he fell through to the first floor, es-
Gaping with a few bruises about the
face and arms
"Oh, | wasn't scared a Bit" said the
little fellow after he had been drawn
from the wreck of the building and
carried home by Bicycle Policeman
Rath, of the Fourth Precinct station
"Why, when ! felt everything going
down and around l just hugged a big
beam and stayed right there till we
came tc the bottom. And I wasn't
hurt, not bit.
The tenements were being erected by
Cohen & I3essnan. The exterior was
complete with the exception of the
doors and windows, which had not yet
been placed. The house WIS not yet
plastered. The carpenters had been
gone only fifteen minutes when the
collapse occurred.
The building was blown over against
the wall of the house at 440. smashing
in the side of it. Playing in the hall
between the TWO buildings was S-year-
old Frank EVananislli. From the mar
row crevice left as the building fell
about him he crawled out in safety
Occupants of the house at 40 were
panic-atricllen. As the heavy timners
crashed through the wall of her apait .
ment Mrs. James Woodward seized her
two little children and ran into the
street. Mrs A. L. Jenik, who occupied
the apartment on the second floor,
which suffered most from the flying
beams. was too terrified to move. She
is prostrated from fright.
Mr.. BOSNIAN, one of the prcprietors
who came to the scene when the report
of the destruction of his building
reached him. declared that he could fnr-
nsh 10 explanation for the ruin. The
building was being built by Horne a
Wassman. carpenters.
Rumors that other children had been
playing in the house when it fell and
were yet entangled in the ruins caused
the greatest excitement in the neigh
borhood until they wre proved ground
less by careful search.
The tenemants will have to be en-
tireiy rebuilt.
