CRUSHED BY TONS OF BRICK. Frightfal Disaster Curcaco, Feb. 28.—By the falling of the walls of Jobn Yor! Halsted and 19th streets at 1:80 o'clock this morning seven and perhaps eight people were instantly killed and four others seriously in- fared, The catastrophe was caused by the calla) ing before the high wind of the walls of burned York building. These lind been stand- ing since the fire which last winter destroyed the store and contents, At this time the walls wore soaked with water, which, however, costed them with ice and aided with ice added in holding them together. It was feared that a change of temperature would weaken the walls by thawing out the ice which held them together, and last night these fears were realized, warmth and rain melted the ice, ight's wind shook the tottering walls until they fell with # crash, burying two houses with their sleeping inmates. ‘The two houses dostroyed were the saloon of John Smith at 761 Halsted street, and the jewelry store ofA. Kunse at Halmed street, Both were frame structures, and both were ocenpted on | the sccond stories by the families of the dwners of the placer of business below, That all in the buildings were not killed seems almost wiracle, but while two were taken out alive one of them—Mrs, Amelia Smith, wife of the suloon keeper—can scarcely survive the day. A WOXDERYUL ESCAPE, The other one to escape was Fred Kunze, son of the jeweler, aged twenty-one years, He, with his bed, was carried posing the floor to the basement, A door wae thrown against the bed and, supported against the wall, served to guard the occupant of the bed from injury by the falling debris, SOTNDING THE ALARM. Policeman Hanks was near the corner of| Why It ts Sald He Will Not Come to the |» Halsted and 19th streets when the disastor | ocenrred, He hurried to the spot and could hear the groans and cries for |help of the people buried in the ruins, Hesentin an alarm of fire, for, to add horror to the «cene, smoke was seen curling up through the ruins, which hed caught tite from # stove overturned in the crash, ‘The fire department arrived in # few minutes and began playingon the debris, Sergt. [Loughran of the Canal Port Avenue letation had in meantime arrived and begun work of resoue, While near the center of the ruins a crash came | and the sergeant was struck in the back bya | falling brick and thrown down on the burning rubbish, As he was struggling to his feet another brick struck him on the right band, | crushing that member, At this time Patrol- man Smith was also struck and knocked down by flying rubbish, ‘Mrs. Amelia Smith was the first of the victims found. She was lying beneath a section of the wall which was still held together by mortar and it was fifteen minutes after hor firat cry was heard before she was rescued. She was then uncon- seious. It was thought at the time that she could live but a few minutes, but much to the surprise of the physicians at the county hospi- tal she was still alive this morning. RESCUE OF YOUNG KUNZ, Young Kunz was rescued but slightly in- |jured. The work of rescuing the imprisoned people, aside from great danger to firemen, was attended with much difficulty. It was unknown in what portion of the buildings the missing femilies had been | ing, and the firemen, who were on the spot almost before the sound of the crash had died away, in their work stint. Disregardinj licking tongzes of were without any guide gave their own in- the smoke and tho lame that appeared here and there anid the debris they dug along the base of the York wall, at @ point’ which ap- peared to be aboat ‘the center of Kunz's jewelry store. Their search was finally rewarded by a shout | | from beneath the bricks and broken timbers. ‘They dug steadily on, but could not locate the voice, At last, however, came the cry, ‘Here I am,” and atthe same instant a hand was thrast through the open air, It was the hand of young Kunz His rescue was then but a mat- ter of afew minutee, After being rescued he told the firemen where his father and mother had been sleeping, and he was then removed to the county hospital. DIGOING IX THE RUINS. Superintendent of Streets Burke put 150 men at work on the ruins early this morning. The work of excavating is dificult, owing to the heat and emoke that still ascend’ from the debris br od in the debris can be still alive. ‘The hope that the bartender, George Mesterle, as his name was learned to be today, might be still alive, was dissipated this forenoon when his body, terribly mutilated, was taken from the ruins. 1t was taken to the morgue, ‘TRE LIST OF VICTIMS. At11 o'clock the police gave out the follow- ing revised list of the killed and injured, which is believed to be the correct one: The killed—Wm. Kunz, Mrs. Mary Kunz, John Smith (or Schmidt), Lizzie Smith, Hattio Smith, Paulina Mortin, George Mesterle. ibe injured—Mrs. Sinith, Annie Smith, Fred ‘unz, ee Gen. Stevenson's Coming. Prrrspvna, Feb. 28.—The special train con- veying Vice-President-elect Stevenson and party arived in this city over the Pittsburg and Western division of the Baltimore and Okio railroad at 7 o'clock this morning.

Crrcaco, Feb. 28.—The colored women con- fined in the county jail broke over the rules that institution yesterday afternoon and fc half an hour held the liveliest sort of a riot. Jailer Morris appeared with a strong force of guards and attendants, and it was not without a struggle that they succeeded in bringing the war toan end, as the women fought desper- ately and it required several men to overpower some of them. ieee, Corbett All Right Again. Denvrg, Mixy., Feb. 28—Corbett has en- tirely recovered from his late illness and played his engagement last evening here. He will play all dates until hoiy week and will thien take a rest, staying at Niagara Falls. Brady, his manager, came on from New York yesterday and left for New Orleans last night. The money posted for the Jack- ton fight, he announced, was drawn down yee- ‘tel ridie anything in the latter's illness which threatened to interfere with the Mitchell fight.

SS | WILL TAKE MONEY FOR McKINLEY. Right to Refuse Contributions, Curcaco, Feb. 28.—Trusteo H. H. Kohlsaat has practieally decided to stop opposing the wishes of Major McKinley's friends and to re- ceive whatever funds the may decide to send to ward paying the $95,000 worth of Habilities of the unfortanate and deceived governor of Ohio. The $1 contribution scheme met with almost uproarious approval in the major's own state. |The trustee 1s receiving dollara’ by | ps je sent one man's contribution ; back.

Mo- | Kinney this morning if it was true that he will | Rot attend the inauguration because the com- | mittee had not reserved sents for him and his | staff upon the reviewing stand, requiring him | to take part in the parade with the other gov- | ernors, He replied that if the inauguration | took place tomorrow that he wotld not attend, | but declined to go noxt Friday, It is a fact, however, that the governor will ‘not attend, for the reason that he refuses to | take part in the parade, and fools that he is treated badly in not being given space in the reviewing stand, Virginia, however, will be ably represen’ and will do herself proud with the gallant Fitz Lee and escort in charge of the third division, with Jefferson Levy at the head of about thirty demooratic clubs, together with the Blues, Stu- art Horse Guards and the Walker Light Guard.

Less Pressure Tod: to Sell in the Stock Market in New York, New Yonx, Feb. 28.—Thero was decidedly leas pressure to sell in the stock market this morning, and the volume of business was there- fore somewhat smaller than that of yesterdo; while the market, on the whole, displayed a strong tone, all the weak spots being among the induetrials, ‘ Forcign sellin ot Reading and Erie, which was infinenced by the unfavorable reports cabled last night in regurd to those, stocks, held them down in the early dealings, though Erie failed to rally with the operated for an advance, which, in the view of the magnitude of the short interest, they claimed was das Opening prices were. in the main$ from % to _ per cent better than those of Inst night, and sugar, Reading und New England led an upward rlovement, which e: tended in the last named stock to 154 per cent.
