The Committee Hears Many Dis- tressing Tales. ooo THE MEN WHO ARE WOUNDED. Statements About the Cause of the Catastrophe. AT THE BUILDING TODAY. According to the official reports of yester- day's catastrophe there had been twenty-two deaths up to this afternoon. It is thought more than probable that there will be more deaths among the more seriously injured. A pleasant record this for the government! The sad results of the downfall of the old Ford’s Theater furnished the principal topic of conversation all day. There was little else talked about, and on every side one might see little groups of men standing on cor- ners nd discussing the latest news from the bedside of the injured mon. The opinion was unanimous that there was blame somewhere for this shocking fatality, and many @ man echoed the words of Dr. Bartlett that he ay AT THE HOSPITAL—RELIEVING THE INJURED. uttered at the relief meeting yesterday after- | groups offpecpie,who were looking to see if any noon that the accident was not the responsibility for which could be inid upon God. It was preventable accident. The | more the matter is discussed and the farther | along the work of clearing away the debris | progresses the more evident this becomes. ' THE CLERKS PROTESTED. Every man employed about the building ren ized the danger that was caused by the under- | mining of the building. This is shown in the fact that a petition was circulated among the clerks some days ago protesting against the work being done. While it was | under way @ rope was stretched about certain parts of the structure at.d the clerks were given | to understand that it would be better for them to-walk carefully up the main staircase, inas- much as the vibration caused by the people | walking m step might prove dangerous to the | welfare of the building. This morning the clerks in the doomed building, that is to say so many of them as were not dead or confined to their beds by their injuries, were about the scene of the disaster discussing the situation and holding little indignation meetings, It was evident that feeling ran very strong among | them and many of them were loud in their ex- | pressions of condemnation for the officials of | the government who had herded them together | in such a shambles. one | more names had been added to the list. They SOME OF THE COMMENTS. “Ob, no, there is no one to blame,” said one of them in the group this morning. “You mark my words, you'll find when it’s all over that no one was to blame. It was only men that were killed. If it had been a score army mules that had lost their ives you would find that there would be an investigation in the army that would looate the diame for at somewhere, but as it is you will find that I am about right when I say that everybody will be exonerated.” “Yes, that's what I think, too,” said another man in the group. ‘I may be thinking a good deal, but I don’t care to say that any one is to Dlame for an accident that might have been so #2 RESTING RAST. easily averted. I am told that when excavations were made for the elec- tric light plant, joists, three by four in size, were placed under the pillars to support the building while the digging was going on. Of ccurse, I don't know that such large sized joiste | "** wore ured, but still joists wero used, and that will probably relieve every one of al! reeponsi- bility.” . GETTING IXFORMATION. The bulk of the clerks made their head- quarters about the corner of 10th and F streets this morning. Occasionally a man would come along with some late information from the rooms of the injured, and all thet he knew was eagerly listened to by the rest. The news that Mr. Yount, the chief clerk of the division, would probably recover from the in- juries which he custained in yesterday's accident was received with a great deal of pleasure by all the survivors from among those who had worked under him. Ho was an ex- tremely popular man. His wounds, it was stated, were confined to those about the skull ‘and tg bis shoulder, which was badly crushed. All day “long there were large and curious crowds gathered about the ruins. In the crowd were many men whose escape from the fall- ing floors and rafters yesterday were little short of miraculous. They were busy pointing oat to their friends and the members of their families who were with them just where they were when the crash came and how it was that they managed to make their way out of the mass of falling debris. Sadder JUST ESCAPED. still, thore were in the crowds people whose friends or relatives were in the build- ing, but were not so fortunate as to escape. ‘These were there today to have pointed out to them just where it was and how their loved ones met thoir tate. READING THE GAD LIST. Ina drug store on F street near 10th there was pasted on the window alist of the dead. | Tho window was surrounded all day by little were looking for the names of friends and ac- | quaintances and were afraid they might see them. ‘The saddest scenes of all today were those that transpired within the walls of the homes of the stricken families. These scenes are the ones that will never be described. It would be trespassing upon the sanctity of | grief to speak of them at length | ANGELS OF MERCY. Many there are who know what it means to/ lose the head and chief support of alittle family circle. Widows and orphans can best | sympathize with the sorrow that has fallen upon many happy homes. ON THE SCENE TODAY. After all there was very little to see about the scene of the disaster today. Lieut. Amiss of the first precinct was on hand with a detachment of: police, and they kept the crowd back from the building. They had ropes stretched about the place, keeping the people out in the street, but there they stood hour after hour gazing into the windows with more than morbid curiosity. There were many ladies in the crowd, and besides those that were on foot there were many who drove throngh 10th street in their carriages to have @ good look at the ruins. The passing of vebi- cles up and down the street was so considerable that it was necessary to prevent it, and later in the day the officers placed ropes across the street at E and F streets,so that only those who were on foot could have a chance to look. COL. STEWART'S OPINION. The were very careful to keep out- side the lines all except those who had a right to be there, newspaper men and government officials. Col. Stewart, the super- intenfent of construction of the new city post office building, was among those who made a careful survey of the situation. He examined the defective underpinning of the building with a great deal of interest, under ‘the direction of Lient. Amiss, He seemed to 4. @. rouNT. think, as others do, that the whole * rouble came from the weakening of the structure caused by the excavations im the front part of the basement, THE DEBRIS REMOVED. Today all the debris that yesterday filled the lower part of the building and formed a tomb for more than « score of men was removed, | the and one could better tell the nature of the accident. The ceilings and floors looked to the ordinary eye to bave been altogether too thin to support such weights as thoee which they were compelied to bear. The construction is of the old style known as cast-iron construction, with the supporting cast-iron pillars placed one above the other in direct line. In the front of the building, onthe first floor, the hole through which much of the debris poured had all been cleared out. Yesterday it was thought that when this was examined carefully it would bring to light more dead bodies. Fortunately this proved to be not the case. ‘The mortality was great enough as it was. THE PUBLIC INDIGNATION. ‘There is no let up this afternoon in the gen- eral feeling of indignation that fills the city over the awful calamity of yesterday. The flags on the public buildings ate all fying at the tops of the masts. It great man that died; simply a lot of hard-worked government clerks who were compelled to labor ina building that was not fit for human occupation and which had again and again been pronounced unsafe. More than twenty good men, many of them with families dependent upon them for support, were hurled into eternity, and the people of the capital will evidently not be satisfied until it has been found who was responsible for a state of things that made such a catastrophe pos- wble. THE KOLL OF THE DEAD. An Addition This Morning to the Mournful ‘List. Reports converning the number of persons killed in the collapsed building yesterday were at first greatly exaggerated. ‘The truth was terrible enough. There was also considerable difficulty in getting a correct identification of the bodies even aftr they had reached the morgue, for being covered with ©. D. SHADBOLT. mortar and blood as they were their appear- ance was that of laborers rather than clerks. For that reason friends of some of the victims were slow in convincing themselves of the identity of those who had fallen to their death. Although many of the bodies were terribly mangled and broken besides being cut and bruised, their faces ee in much better condition than would under the sicouristisenatt RateaMiiite tis acaes Toke bodies were taken from the wreck yesterday one death occurred this morning.
