New Yous, April 21.—A shameful and ter- rible aceldent occurred to-night at 0:15 welock at the Madison Square Garden, where the Hahnemann Haspital Fair was in progress. Ono hundred feot of the second story, fronting on Mudison ‘avenue and in- eluding the tower at the“northwestern cor- ner, fell into the street, carrylug away the trt gallery, the daueing-room, and part of tho -Festaurant.~ ‘he > masonry. fell Gn about twenty persons who “were escaping from the daneing-room, and killed tiree: persons, one of whom was hurled into tho street. Ten or twelve persons were more or less severely injured. ‘Tho killed are: Mra. W. A. Ogden Hexemann, of No. 9 West Thirty-first street, Marin Connolly, her maid, and Miss Annio Willets. + Mr. W..A. Tileston was so badly injured that his recovery is not hoped for. Two hacks, which were standing in front of the building, were crushed to splinters, and the horses were killed, About o’clock Mr, Story, who had charge of tho art gallery, dhe north room on: the balcony, Detective James M. Tilley, and WHl- fam-S.: Brazier, tho watehinan In the art gallery, noticed that pleces of plaster from the celling fell frequently. ‘hero wero also ominous — cracking — noises, = Mr. Story: did not think = there was Inte mediate danger, but consulted with De- tective ‘Tilley, It wns agreed it would be prudent to tell the persons who were in the art gallery that the atmosphere was so hent- ail it was injurious to the pictures, and the gas would be put out, Brazier was sent to the closet adjoining the Punel-and-dndy room, on the ground floor, with instructlons to turn off the gas slowly and at intervals, so aa not to create alarm, On tho batcony south of the art gallery, and almost immediately above the Madison. ave- nue entrance, : A GAY PARTY of forty couples were enjoying themselves In Mrs. Dr. Helmuth’s daneing-hall, A piano- - forte was playing a lively waltz, and among the dancera were persons well known !n New York society. By some oversight thoy were not Informed that . there wore Indica- tions of iinpending accident in the art gal- lory. : In the garden proper about 2,000 persons were about various stalls of the Hahnemann Fair, s Brnzler turned off thogas ns directed, First he turned It down a Ittle, then ran through a crowd of dolighted children watching the Punch and Judy show to sca if the people In the gallary were coming out. ‘Then he went back to the gns-cock, and turned the gas down more, going back to see If the gal- lery had been cleared. Meanwhile Detective Tilley had gone Into the Art Gallery. Ho told those there the gus hurt the pictures, ond BEGGED THEM TO GO OUT, a8 lights were to be extinguished, Just then Brazier began to turn tha gas ont, and a few persons sauntered out of the door leading on te tho balcony, Seven or elght Indies and gentlemen were adiniring tho large picture at tho north ond of the gallery, and did noatappear to mind the dimtutshed Nght, ‘Tiley went up to them, and lastily re- quested thom to leave. Just then Brazier turned the gas for the third thne, until there was but a faint glimmer, and the porons asked to leave the gallery started ont quickly,” ‘Tiley followed behind them When within ten fect of tho door a pleca of plaster from the ceiling about elghtecs Inches wide and several -fect long fell on the floor, ‘Tilley thought n picture hud fallen, and TURNED TO PICK IT UL, Hy Tie saw what hud fallen, and at that moment heard nv frightful crackling noise all around him, ‘Tho ceiling appeared to open and then to sifde toward thy jayenue, while the west wall totterad, gaped,-and foll outward, ‘TH: loy spring for the door of the ‘gallery, and reached the balcony covered with dust and slightly bruised. __ Tho danger was not appreciated in Iet- muth’s dancing-hall until a few seconds be- fore tha second floor ‘and peaked root with the tower (cll luto Madison avenue, Among the persons In the dancing-hall when the accldent occurred were C.

About three-quarters of the people in the dancing hall rushed to the balcony be- for tho final crash came, when there wero from twenty to twenty-five persons tn St. Those who. had found safety on the bal- cony. were panie-stricken, and some of them closed. the door of the dancing int. Mr. Demott, knee deep In rubbish, forced this duor, snd dragged out his flanceé, Miss Camblas, who was bruised and cut but not seriously in- Jured. Mr. Demott carried her down stars, left her with friends and returned to seo what he coutd do to help thoso less fortunate than himself, At the time of the ernsh there were left'in the dining-hall besides Mr. Demott and Pen- tingale, W.

Some ran to get out through the Fourth avenne exit. A few got out through s amall passage used by persons employed In the garden. The remainder stayed patient- ly onenr the big doors closing the imaln exit, walting for them to be opened. ‘The janitor could nat be found at once, and It was fifteen or twenty minutes after the walls fell when the crowd got free exit to Fourth avenue, Meanthne the fear of the musicians had been allayed, and they were INDUCED TO PLAY “YANKEE DOODLE,” The musle stilled the crowd, aud they left the building fn comparatively good order.

By the light of Innterus they commenced to throw off tho bricks from tho sidewall on tothe edge of the roadway. Ambulances were in waitlug, close as they could pack Jn the roadway. ‘A fire engine was there, and other department relics, but it was almost thirty minutes before the .sappers came with picks and- shovels. An excited yet orderly crowd closed each end of the block kept back by crowds of polleemen, but many persons whose business called thom inside the lines were thore, and thera was quite a erowd mixed In with vehicles and on the west sidewalk, Of the two hacks the one nearest the main entrance Iny smashed utterly, Michael Kelly was the driver, and had narrow escape, belng struck on the side and arm by the rubbish, Mo stated positively that the driver of tho other hack, which lay smashed , to pleces and with the dead horse still in the broken shafts, was not on his box nt the thme of the accident. It was near the first hack the firemen began their search for bodies under the rubbish, “A sudden ex- elamation from threo or four firemen throw- ing off tho bricks and timber gave note that + BOMETIING IAD BEEN FOUND, ‘There was a sudden rush toward tho spot, and ascrambling over the plies of rubbish, “Keep back! keep back}? shouted the polleemen, “Bring a atreteher — and back up that — ambulance,” More men with lanterns gathered on the spot. ‘The rubbish was quickly re moved, and the body of a woman Iny ox- posed, dreadfully crushed and bloody, Strangely enough, the head and face seomed to have escaped.
