AIGHTFULDSSTE Hundreds of Clerks Buried in ao Roined Building, OLD FORD'S THEATER. The Floors Give Way This Morning. BRINGING OUT MANGLED MEN Many Killed and In- jured in the Ruins. An Appalling Scene This Morn- ing. A terrible disaster occurred shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. The three floors of the old Ford's Theater where Lincoln was as- sassinated, on 10th street between E and F streets, fell in with ‘a ‘terrible crash, burying in the debris hundreds of | clerks of the surgeon general's office, who were employed there. The fire alarm brought out the fire department, only to find that surgeons and smbulances were needed. A tre- mendous crowd gathered at once, and the scenes were heartrending in the extreme as the battered and disfigured clerks were carried out of the ruins. HOW THE DISASTER WAS CAUSED. The disaster was caused, it is said, by the weakening of the walls from the digging of a cellar under the build- ing. The top floor fell first, withouy any warning, carrying with it the floors below. It is impossible to tell how many were killed, buta number of lives must have been lost, and the number of maimed and wounded must be over a hundred. Removing the Dead. Several corpses have already been taken from the building. os Froposed Memorial Exereines. ‘Tho Washington Light Infantry Corps are considering the question of holding general memorial exercises in the fall in respect to the memory of those members who have died since the last memorial exercises were held, about two years ago. Nothing has yet been settied, howaver, in regard to the matter. ~ Plead Not Guilty.

The health officer, Dr. Purvis, and Supt. of Police Dobie are now making a sanitary survey of the city somewhat on the order of that being made by the sanitary inspectors in Washington, but while it needs many dollars aday to pay for the District inspection, the Alexandria san- itary survey is costing nothing to the city treasury. A number of nuisances have been discovered and the power of the police will now be called into the matter, and all persons | who have willfully maintained nuisances on their premises will be fined, Mayor Strauss will give special attention to the ition of the health of the city, and preventive medi- cine will be a popular’ study here for some months. PLEASANT FOR THE CHILDREN. The “Children of Mary.” in charge of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, made a delightful ex- cursion yesterday to Marshall Hall, The pupils of St. Mary's Academy, in charge of the same sister, spent yesterday on a picnic to Mount Vernon. ‘he pupils of Lee Street Chapel Sun- day school had delightful exereises Wed nesday, when the school took a recoss for the summer.

Pleas of guilty and fines of $100 each disposed of the liquor cases of R. E. Cun- ningham and T. E. Marmaduke on the last day. ‘There has been no change in the status of the authorities in relation to affairs at Jackson City since the decision of the court of appeals on the effect of the Mushbach anti-gaming law. No change is likely until after the general assembly acts on the matter next winter and amends the law. NoTEs. A controversy over the ownership of the steam launch Cameo, now in Washington harbor, will be the subject of tigation here. Capt. Me- Adams of the steamer Florence claims the launch as his property and on his direction Capt. Josh Ellis carried the launch to Washing- ton. Capt. George Brown claims the launch and has sworn out warrants Capt. Me- Adams and Capt, Ellis for carrying off the Jameo. ‘he new street garbage cart, mentioned in Tae StaR some days ago, has’ been put into service. Among the recent Jand sales of Alexandria county are two acres to T. Hicks near George- town and Fairfax turnpike at $400, same to E. K. Preston at 2700, one acre on Alexandria and Georgetown road for €400, and many lots of various dimensions. THE BORDEN MURDER CASE, Assistant Marshal Fleet Tells About Find- ing a Hatchet. The afternoon session of the Borden murder trial at New Bedford, Mass., yesterday opened promptly at 2:15, the court room at this time being crowded. The testimony of the morning is considered very important and Assistant Marshal Fleet, in conversation with a reporter, said he was at @ loss to understand where that dress was Lizzie is alleged to have burned when they went through the house. Certainly they saw nothing of it, John Cunningham took the stand to finish np his testimony. He detailed seeing Dr. Bowen, Miss Knssell and Miss Suilivan passing up 2d street, and remembered seeing “Oficer Allen going’ toward the Borden house. He went up afterwurd with Walter P. Stevens of the Fall River News and John Manning of the Globe and examined the grass in the Borden yards for footprints. They tried the cellar door and found it wae locked. (This is considered important for the prosecution as showing that there was no way to get into the house by the cellar.) The testimony the first part of the afternoon was very jame. After cross-examination of Cunninghath Officer Allen and Deputy Sheriff Wixom testified to their search of the Borden premises after the murder. THE HATCHET IN EVIDENCE. Then Officer Fleet was put on the stand. After corroborating their testimony he de- scribed the finding of the handicless hatchet produced by the prosecution. This hatchet box down in the cellar. A fragment of the bandle showed a fresh break, and the iron was covered with ashes. ‘The outside cellar door was locked. Saturday he examined the dresses in the house very closely, but found no paint or blood on any dress, On the day of the murders witness went to Lizzie’s room and knocked on the door, and Dr. Bowen opened the door and asked what was wanted, andhetold him, Then he closed the door and opened it again, and said that Lizzie wanted to know if it wus absolutely necessary to search that room, and he told him it was, The doctor ciosed the door again. and finaily he opened it, and they went in and searched the room. “Then I said to Lizzie: ‘You said this morning that you were iu the barn a half an hour this forenoon. Do you «ay that now?’ ‘I did not say half an hour, sir. twenty minutes to half o. hone.’ ‘Well, we'll call it twenty minutes. Is that correct?’ “Yes,” she said, “Lasked then when she had seen her step- mother last. and she said when she was in her | 100m making the bed. She told me also about the note which she had received. I found the door between Miss Borden's room and Mrs, Borden's locked. Up against the room door | leading into Mrs. Borden's out of Lizzie’s was a combination book ease and desk, and the door was fastened with a hook. Iu the guest's chan ber I noticed there was blood on the dressing jease and some on the pillows. Thero was another door leading from her room, which was locked, but Lizzie got a key and let tis in. “We searched that room, When we arked to get into Mr. Borden's room and she told us to get the key from Maggic I went down and got the key from Maggie and she showed us in there. "I found the door bolted and locked, and at no time did I open that door; then we went into the attic and came down stairs and out of the cellar and found Dr. Dolan and the officers there. In consequence of what Oficer Mulally told me Ifound ina box m the middle cellar the head of a hatchet; the box was about twelve or fourtcen inches long and cighteen inches wide, and four or five inches dee; Here the counsel produced the hatenet head and asked the witness if this was the one he nd in the box and the witness said it was, 3 ‘hes, on the blade, upon both sides, and, in fact. all over it; the dost was of ashes, very fine: other tools in. the | box had dust on them, but not the same as on this hatchet. Ofiicer Fleet, in his cross-examination, said that he thought he could have seen blood on the clothes he examined if any had been there. If there had been any paint there he believed he could not have seen it unless he looked closely. Court here adjourned until today. ! The Committee Trip Postponed.

MANY BURIED Bringing the Dead and in- jured From the Ruins, —_———— APPALLING SCENES, —_+—___ Stories Told by Some Who Were in the Wreck. The First Bodies Recovered From the Debris. NEIGHBORING HOUSES CONVERTED INTO HOSPITALS. SOLDIEDRS ORDERED OUT. ‘The Horror of the Scene. The scene within the wrecked structure was something that has never been paralelled in the history of all that is horrible in the many fearful things that has happened in this city. As soon as it was possible for outside help to enter and commence operations upon the mass of brickwork and plaster and fallen tim- bers and detorted iron the work of rescue was commenced. Hudreds of willing hands tore away the incumbrances that prevented living, but badly injured beings from helping them- selves, and eager sympathizers were careless as to their own exertions or exposure to danger that the bodies which were covered by the vast quantity of debris might be brought out to where succor was possible for those not fa- tally injured. UNCERTAINTY a8 TO THE DEAD. How many dead there are beneath the tons of fallen material no one can even guess at this time, but that some men who but an hour or so ago were in the prime of health and strength are crushed into shapelessness end lifelessness is beyond question, Already two bodies have been removed from the ruins, butas the work of clearing out on the lower floor has but barely commenced it is utterly impossible to figure out what the mor- tality may be, Av it is there are a tremendous number of the clerks and messengers. Every moment the throwing aside of wreck- age exposes the bloody, and often mutilated, form of some one of the victims, Occasionally one of them revives sufficiently to need but little assistance to the outer air, but the majority of them—dusty, bruised, with clothing torn almost in tatters—are car- ried into the clear atmosphere and through the sorrowing crowd to the ambulances and patrol wagons that are in waiting. At first the endeavors to rescue were somewhat inefficient, but in a little while system prevailed and the work went ahead with the utmost rapidity, Weary res- cuers gave place every few minutes to fresh and willing successors, who worked with terrific energy in their endeavor to save some of the buried ones, Such a scene has never before been beheld in this region, and no catastrophe in the city’s century of ex- istence ever promised so much of ail that is horrible as the one which has stopped all busi- ness in this part of the city, and which now crowds every thoroughfare in the neighborhood of the old theater. The scene was one of indescribable confusion. but the police did good work in keeping the crowds back from the front of the building. Inside the work was impeded by the clouds of dust from the dry plaster. Inside the basement was piled up with bricks and plaster above the line of the first floor. The wildest estimates were made of the num- ber of people in the building at the time of the accident. The floors fell so suddenly that it is impossi- ble to see how auy one on them could have es- caped. The Cause of the Accident. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the undermining of the basement wall. Such looking objects asthe men were who were carried out from the building first it Would be an impossibility to describe ‘They were covered with dust and blood, but up to 10 o'clock no dead bodies had been recovered. Men were almost unrecognizable #8 a result of their injuries, The ambulances were kept busy carrying the injured to hospitals and to other places where they could receive attention, A large force of police were soon on band and Maj. Moore at once took command of them. Chief Parris took command of the fire department, A Horrified Crowd. The front of the building presented a har- rowing sight. The news of the disaster spread | | rapidly.and in amarvelously short Space of time | the front was crowded with agonizing wives, daughters and friends of the clerks, As the bleeding and mangled bodies were Dr. Hammett took bis station at the corner ‘Grug store and did all that was possible. No Warning Was Given. All who have yet been brought out testify ‘that no warning was given in anyway. All they know is that acrash came and the floors gave way. A Perfect Wreck. 7 ‘The building inside was a perfect wreck. ‘There was no? « single floor left standing be- tween the roof and the basement. Dust filled the air almost to the suffocating Point. his did not interfere with the firemen, Who got to work clearing away the debris and ‘and bunting for bodice, It was 9:40 when the first alarm rang and be- fore 10 the first bodies had been removed from the building. It wasestimated that there were about 500men and women in the building. The building fell without the slightest warning. It is impossible at this writing to tell how many people are killed and injured, but they ‘were carrying the bodies sway by the score. An Historic Bullding. The building is the historic old Ford's Opera Honse, where President Lincoln was assasei- nated. It is now used as the records pensions bureau, and about 500 clerks are employed there. It is estimated that 150 clerks were in the main section which fell. ‘THE FIRE ALARM. ‘When the crash came an alarm of fire was turned in and was immediately followed by » general alarm, which brought the entire fire department to the spot. The firemen set he- Toically to work excavating the men pinioned Deneath the tons of brick and iron. At the same time all the ambulances were brought into service and the police department also lent their aid. ‘Many citizens did splendid work. The dying men, cut and crushed almost beyond recogni- tion, were carried out to the surrounding residences and every house was temporarily a bospital. Many were carried to the regular bospitals. ‘THE EXPERIENCE OF MR. R. H. GILLTAM. One of the first to reach the outside of the demolished building was Mr. RH. Gillam. He was on the top floor. “Ie said to a Sram Teporter that the first intimation he had was the crash and the floor sank beneath bis feet, Mr. Gillam was not seriously burt. He was ‘was taken to Evans’ drag store on F street just ‘round the corner from 10th street, where aid was given him. se SOME OF TRE vioTMEs, A moment later C. E. McLaughlin and 0. W. ‘Hathaway were brought to the same place. ‘The latter was badly cut and apparently de- lirious, Mr. McLaughlin, though having his face and neck gashed and his bead bruised, ‘was perfectly conscious. From the back of the building Mr. ©. A. ‘Hooper was cwried out by the spectatora. His residence is 20321 northwest, He was unable to walk, and apparently was burt internally. His face was horribly disfigured. He was taken to 1003 E street temporarily. « ‘CAPT. KRAUSE's EXPERIENCE. Capt. C. A. Krause hed his hed badly cnt, He was on the first floor. He heard a crash, looked up and it seemed as if the building was coming down. He startea to leave and was struck He found the door closed by debris and was con- fined there till the debris was cleared way. ‘His head was quickly dressed and he started tor his home. At 9:50 a general alarm was turned in and all ‘the engines in the city were soon on the spot doing wonderful work in getting at the injured. ‘The main floors went, The parts of the building that are on either side of it were not injured, From the staircases the doors that led into the center building now looked direct into ‘the seene of the catastrophe. From any floor one might step off into the basement below. It was but = few moments before willing hands were at work rescuing those who were beneath the fallen walis, ‘The First Dead Body. R. L. Dietrich, young man, was the first ‘one whose dead body was found. It was found at the north side of the building. Henry 8. Miller, about thirty-eight years old. Leaves wife aud one child. Not Identified. Another dead body had also been found, but it had not been identified. Soldiers Ordered Out. ‘The Secretary of War telephoned Maj. Moore that he would send company of artillery from ‘the Washington barracks to lend aid in ease they were needed. The message stated thet the company would report for duty at Pennsyl- Vania avenue and 10th street. Te Lane AN ARCHBISHOP MOBBED. Polish Students Attack @ Prelste of the Greck Church, Archbishop Sembratowiez was mobbed by forty Polish students m Lemburg, in view of his visit to the pope, which the Poles regard as treason to the Greck Catholic Church, of which he is a prelate. ‘The archbishop was driving to the railway station from bis honse when the students attacked him. ‘They threw rotten eggs at the archbikhop and his coachman, stopped the horses and tried to climb into the carriage. © men reached over the doors and beat the archbishop with their caves, while others tossed dirt, eggs and vegetables over the bret, The archbishop was caught twice by the collar, and was half dragged from the carriage, but cach time tore himself loose. ‘The police attacked the students, driven back. Reinforcements were a, after a hot skirmish, nineteen of the students were ar- rested. The others fled. Lishop Kuljowski of Stanislan, who bad come upon the mob in the worst of the fight and had attempted to defend the archbishop, was severely cut and braisedon the face and the neck.
