Dili RACE D KOTO DEATH BUILDING COLLAPSES Men, Women and Chil dren Dead Under .

Caught in a chao of brick, planter and wooden beam, between SO and 30 nun, women and children met their death. Twelve hour of frantic work on the part of an army of reaciier ha. dWcntangled 50 person, six of them dead and many of the rest badly in jured. Three bodies were in-sight at a late hour tonight, hut many hour of work will be' required to get them out. Any thing like a complete lit of the killed and injured will be unobtainable until the worker have made their way to the very bottom of the mas of wreck' ge. With few exception, thoee caught in the ruins were employe, a large ma jority of them being girl. The bet account of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the bead of the crockery, glas and drug department, which occupie the baaement "Workmen were sawing at the wooden floor beam," said he, "which runs under the northern end pillara in the middle tore. The execavation for the cellar waa going on about the base of this pit lar, and I believe the jarring of the beam beneath it displaced the foundation of the pillar." The pillar which gave way supported the end of two giant girder and when it fell the main support of the central part of the building wa gone. With a noise, heard many blink away and which shook the building adjoining, nearly half of the great structure, from cellar to roof and extending from one xidewalk to the other, came grinding down. When the Are department arrived they hud plenty to do rescuing those pinioned under the top of the wreckage. In a short time the city's entire hos pital and ambulance force was on the scene, aided by half a hundred doctor from all part of the city. Volunteer recuer and firemen continued the work until exhausted, when their places were taken by a wrecking force numbering 300 men from the New York Central and Delaware & Hudson railway. These delved In the ruin all night, but the work, of rescue proceeded slowly. When darkness came it was estimated that nearly, 80 persona remained In the ruins and not more than half of these could survive the weight pressing upon them. Fortunately the wreckage did not take Are. . Some 100 persons : are still unaccounted for, but SO of these are cash boys, of which the firm has no record, and the loss of the payroll makes it diflicult to get anything like a com plete list of .many other. In all, the comruiny has 400 employes, but 50 of these are away on vacation. The loas to tbe company is estimated at about $300,000. The building wa very now wa conHidered per- .Albany, N.
