COLLAPSE OF FORD'S OPERA HOUSE
Thousands of Men and Women Mere or
Le Injured, and Many
'..'" Killed.
Associated Press. ...
Washington, June 9.1-Ford's opera
house, on. Tenth street, In which Pres
ident Lincoln was essasslnated, col
lapsed today. , There were over 400 gov
ernment clerks In the building at the
time. The floors of the. building were
loaded with pension records; of the war
department. The clerks employed were
all men. . The first floor . collapsed
through weakness caused by excavat
ing the cellar, and in Its fall carried
down there'e other floors, and with them
hundreds of clerks.- The dead and
wounded are being .taken out rapidly
by firemen and police. It Is' feared a
hundred people have been killed. The
scenes were teirlble. Some) Jumped
from the third floor. Scarcelyone es
caped more or lass Injury. Twenty
eight were taken from the ruins up to
10:15 a. m. The Emergency' Hospital
Is crowded with dead and Injured. The
Injuries from the very nature- of the
affair, are very "severe. Some, wer
crushed, some sustained broken limbs
and others received - Internal Injuries,
Thousands surround the scene and.tho
excitement) has spread all over the city.
Eight dead bodies have just been taken
out of tha ruins unidentified, , at 10:50
a. m. It Is feared there are , still
eighty bodies In the ruins. Another
man has been taken out dead. ' Howard
S. Miller of Ohio, clerk in the bureau.
and an , unknown man, have-, been
brought to the Emergency Hospital.
dead. ,-. : '
At 11 a. m., the remains of a young
man" not yet Identified liad Just been
placed in the morgue at . the Emer
gency Hospital. This makes the num
ber of known dead ta the- present time
eleven. It is believed there are fully
sixty still In -the ruins.
The bodies of H. S. Woods and a
clerk named Jarvls have been taken
from the ruins. There were 475 clerks
In thi building.
At 1:30 p. m., it was estimated that
it would be two or three hours before
the moss of debris could all be cleared
away and the exact number of those
wbo went down in the crash known.
No doubt several bodies, are still In
the ruins. When the crash came there
were supposed to be In the building
49S clerks, 18 messengers, and 20 labor
ers. . 534 in all. Up to this hour 16
bodies have reached the morgue. The
walls ore still standing, but every floor
is down and every window blown out.
The building had been condemned ,as
unsafe for some time, but sentiment
kept it unchanged. '
The cause of the collapse is supposed
to be due to digging under the founda
tions for the purpose of putting in an
electric plant, but as near as can be
ascertained, the top floor gave way
flrst, carrying the others down with it.
Fortunately the entire building did not
collapse, as in that case.; the loss of life
would have been much greater. As It
was, only the front part went, down,
leaving more than half of tha ' fftfor
space Intact. Because of this many
lives were saved.. Some clerks sitting
at their desks, were left sitting at the
brink, while the desks at which they
sat went down. The police, and sol
diers .ordereij to the scene by General
Schofleld, kept the crowds back so that
there was no Interruption of the work!
of rescue. One of the first victims
found was George M. Arnold, a col
ored clerk from West Virginia, who
Jumped from the third story window
and was dashed to death in the alley
where Wilkes Booth had his horse
tied on the night he assassinated Lin
coln.
'ine Duumng has oeen used lor a
number of years as a part of the office
of the surgeon-general. It was a
strange coincidence that the building
should collapse on the day that Edwin
Booth, brother of the man who assas
sinated Lincoln, was buried.
The number of dead reported from
all sources at 2 p. m', was twenty-four.
Four others were reported dead, but
their bodies were not at the morgue
or hospitals. The names of forty-nine
injured have been secured, but this is
probably not nearly correct, as many
were sent directly to their homes.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Graphic Account of the Terrible Scenes
witnessed.
WaHhlngfotai June 9. Hundreds of
men were carried down by the falling
walls of the building, which was noto
riously insecure; human lives crushed I
out by. tons of brick and iron, and sent
uhhearlded to the throne of their mak
er; men by. tha score, mamed and dis
figured for life; happy families hurled
into the depths of despair; women call
lng for their husbands, . children call
ing for their fathers, " mothers calling
for their sons,' and not an answer to
their cries. This Is but a shadow of the
calamity that befell this city this morn
lng. Imagination stands back and falls
to give any idea of the scene. Its hor
rors will never" be fully told.' Its sud
denness was almost its chief horror.
In a rrjoment, in a twinkling of an eye,
all was changed, and men who came
to the scene of thir daily toll will never
return alive... . In the national capital
of, the proudest nation of the earth-
there has been a catastrophe unparal
leled in the annals af its history, and
in every mind there is a horrible con
vlctlon that Us genesis is to be found
in thecrimlnal negligence, of a govern-
ment that Is too parsimonious to pro
vide for the safety of Its loyal servants
by erecting buildings proper for their
accommodation.
It was between 9:30 and 10 o'clock
this morning, that tha floor of the old
Foard's theater building, Tenth street,
occupied by the recorders and pension
division of the surgeon general's office,
fell In as though they had been parts
ofa card house. . The floor was made
up ' of ' iron ' girders, hardly , strong
enough to support the walls, but heavy
enough to stamp out human lives. The
walls of bricks were held' together by
planter long Blnce dried out, and of
wqpden beams that. had been In place
too long. The government of a great
nation' could not afford to provide
safe building for' their faithful em
ployes, but herded them together In
one whose unsound condition was no
torious. Again andagain have the col
umns of the press been filled with sto
ries of Its rotten. Walls. There is shame
and remorsa for the souls of the men
who were responsible .for the state of
things that confined men working for
their daily bread In a building that
every one In this city knew was un
safe. Twenty-eight years ago there
was another tragedy within the walls
afi this building, News of It Wr
flashed to the fours quarters of. the
earth, and it wrought .consternation
wherever it went. The man who was
killed was president of .the United
States. As though the building had
borne a curse upon ltfrom that time,
it ended its .career la a fitting manner.
Those, -in tha multitude, ..who-would
think of something besides the catas
trophe, remarked upon the strange co
incidence ,thaC the house) in which
John .Wilkes , Booth - slew Lincoln,
should kill a score of people ' on the
very day that the assassin's brother
was being laid ta final, rest.
The building of the printing olfice,
tha and the Winder building, which Is
an annex of the war department, each
contained many more employes than
were caged in' the Ford's theater death
trap, are in an equally dangerous con
dition. .'
While he work of rescuing was go
ing on, men who were strangers to
emotion, wept like children, and turned
away their faces, as the limp and life-
less bodies were brought forth to the
sunshine they could see no more. Wo
men were helpled away In a fainting
condition. The last man taken out of
the building alive was Captain Dowd
of Indiana. He was found near the
southwest vcorner of the building, cov
ered to a depth of two or three feet
with bricks and mortar. He had lain
there three hours, but a falling beam
had lodged near him In such a position
as to break the fall of brick and tim
bers. When lifted up he raised his
hand, showing he was conscious, and
when he was put into the Garfield
house ambulance the crowd saw he was
alive and cheered him again and again.
The ambulances were kept busy car
rying away the dead and Injured. The
faces of many of the victims were cov
ered with pieces of cloth, an old coat,
a newspaper, or whatever else crtuld be
had. Some of the mangled bodies were
carried out with their faces exposed to
the gaze of the great throng surround
ing the building. A look into the in
terior, told e sickening tale of how
Borne were taken. ' Desks were seen
half toppling ovr the brink of the
brpken floor; others stood upright, but
the chairs which stood beside them
with their occupants, went down with
the crash. Records and papers were
scattered everywhere, but as fast ai
possible they were gathered up and
saved. The hospitals were soon over
crowded. The drug stores were turned
into temporary hospitals. The people
in the neighborhood of the accident,
opened their doors gladly, and the dead
and wounded were hurried in. As the
bleeding and mangled bodies were
brought out, groans and outcries aroi
on all sides. One man was found stick
ing head .first; soon his legs were un
covered, and were seen to move feebly,
showing he was still alive. As fast as
human hands could work, those res
cuers did, and soon they had the un
fortunate man out.
The opinion Is that the accident was
caused directly by weakening the al
ready weak structure by excavations
made beneath It for an electric light
system. It was stated this afternoon
that' several days ago clerks in the
building circulated , a petition protest
ing against this work being continued
as they considered it Imperilling the
lives of every man working In th
building.
At the morgue a sight' horrible to
behold was presented. Blood from th
bodies formed a large "pool on the
floor, and crushed skulls, broken arm
and legs, made the treena Indescribable
President Cleveland was Informed of
the sod event Just as he reached th
entrance . to tho White House by one
of the clerks, and at once Interested
himself in relief measures, learning
with satisfaction what had been done
by Assistant Secretary of War Grant
The result of the examination by
ofllcluls to show the insecurity of tho
building was brought to the atten
tion of congress In a pointed manner
as far back 1885.

A LESSON FOR ASTORIA.
Telling Jlow Uriah Lott Built the Ar
ansas Pass Railroad System.
If the merchants of San Francisco
who are trying to raise enough money
to build a railroad 200 miles long in
the San Joaquin valley ever get dls
couraged fliey may take heart from the
experience of Urluh Volt, who built the
600 miles or trie Aransas fasg system
In Texas. ' .
Mr. Lott was a resident of Corpus
Christl, and when he resolved to be
come a rallrcad magnate he had a two-
wheeled cart and a borrowed flve dol
lar bill. He transported all his port
able ' property to Sun Antonio in his
cart, and managed to get a charter for
the construction of a railway from the
city to Aransas Pass.' On the strength
of this he siHTpeded in securing enough
labor to grade a mile of road. He con
trlbuled-a guod part-of the 'work him
self with his own shovel . . -
There are a gumi many bankrupt r.iil-
roads In Texos, nnd the flic .'; re-
eeiver of one of them was noemntnn
dating enough to lend Mr.. Lott some
old rails to to lay down on his mild oi
roadbed. In another place the enter
prising promotor found a condemned
engfna that had been sent to the scrap
heap, and bought it on easy terms. A
further search through the ruilrond
Junkshops of Texas uncovered two old
cars which the owners were glad to
get out of the way.
Mr. Lott now had a fully equipped
railroad one mile long, and proudly
began operations. With a pot of lamp
black ha painted the letters "S. A. and
A. P." on his rolling stock, and his
train went to work. He now had a
basis for financiering. There was a
street-car company which had bought
enough second-hand rails, from a nor
row guage railroad to lay three miles
of track and was willing to sell cheap.
Mr. Lott bought and put them down.
On the strength of this expansion he
got credit from a rolling mill In Penn
sylvania for ten, miles of new rails.
They came, with a bill for freight
which the new road had not money
enough to pay. But with bo much sol
id collateral In sight it was a mert
pastime for a financier of Mr. Lott's
resources to skirmish up the required
wealth, and the rails reached their des
tination. This brought the road to
proportions that made it possible to Is
sue bonds, and with the proceeds of the
bonds forty mils more of track was
built. Mr. Lott was now right In the
swim, and he went on airily Issuing
bonds and building track until his sys
tem comprised six hundred miles of
road, and he was a genuine magnate
of the first water.
At one time this Texan Napoleon of
finance went from Sam Antonio to Chi
cago in the interest of his enterprise
without eating. As a railroad presi
dent he could command a pass, but he
did not have a cent of money, and so
he simply went hungry. And he got
there.
Here is a little problem for the pri
mary class In arithmetic. If the mer
chants of San Francisco, in addition to
the financial resources In their pos
slon, had tho spirit of Uriah Lott, how
many mik of railroad could they
build, and how long woulj tlu-y wait
for Eastern capitalists to relieve them
from the grip of monopoly? Examiner.

had fortified themselves, and had arms
and amunlUon, When the conflicting
factions were about 250 yards apart
the firing 'the firing suddenly began.
Reports vary as to which side fired
first, but there Is 'no question that the
strikers were badly worsted. When
