Men, Women and Children Buried Under the Ruins. ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED Four ef Them Alive and the Rest Dead. SEVERAL VICTIMS YET UNDISCOVERE 4 Woman with an Infant Beneath the Rubbish, ae, a, ‘Ove of the most frightful accidents that bas occurred ‘m this city for a long period took place im East Twenty- ‘second street about noon yesterday, and resuited in the ‘death of a great number of children, and it is feared ' about six or seven grown people. It will be remembered that during the late disturbances 4in the city the Eighteemth ward station house, situ. ated in Twenty-second street, between First and Second } avenues, was set fire to by the populace and completely | destroyed, The house of Engine Company No. 51, ‘situated next door to the station house, was likewise con- sumed in the conflagration, and all that was left of the two buildings was a heap of bricks, mortar, iron and pieces of timber, besides the two sido walls and a por- tion of the front walls, which were kept in an upright «position by the slightest support imaginable. Among the ruins was the usual quantity of smashed ‘wood, suitable for fuel, and this,as is usual in ail such cases, was much sought after by the poor people of the | weighborhood, It is said that there was also a large | amount of coal stowed away in the cellar, which served | ‘as an additional temptation to the people. Notwithstanding the very dangerous condition in which the side walls were ‘threatening every moment to tumble against the house in immediate proximity, no steps, our reporter was told, wore taken to provide against the occurrence of a dread- ful accident like that which occurred yesterday. It is said that ever since the burning of the buildings | hundreds of men, women and cbildren have been allowed torun at large about the ruins every day, picking ep ‘seraps of wood, coal, iron, &t, Prudent persons living im the vicinity had cautioned the people repeatedly not ‘to go among the ruins, lest the walls should fall upon and ‘bury them alive. But these warnings, as might have ‘been expected, were entirely unheeded, and the conse. quence is a most frightful accident. Yesterday the ruins were visited, as usual, by a crowd -of women aud children, who were very busily engaged in picking up coal and loose pieces of wood. A violent storm of wind—ouo of the strongest, while {t lasted, that has | visited us in some time—wus blowing from the southwest at the time, Occasionally loose pieces of brick were | &o, blown down from the walls upon the mass of rash people | assembled together below. But even this warning | passed unnoticed. By and by the fury of the | storm made such an impression upon the walls that People standing aloof observed very unmistakable signs that the walle wore certainly about to tumbie over, Tho thiidrem and grown persons were called upon to vacate the ruins in al] haste, and at last seemed w realize the danger of thoir position , for they began to scamper away as fast a8 porsible. But the kaowledge of poril came toe lave. A powerful gust of wind just then struck against the party wall between tbe station house and fire engine building. The wall rocked to and fro, like a mere straw before the wind, and in another instant down it came with terrifio force upon those of the wood gatherers who had not succeeded in getting out in time, A part of the wall fell upon another engine house next door to the house of No. 51, and the force was so great that a portion of the roof and wall was driven in. The scene which followed this awful catastrophe may be more easily imagined than described. Most of those buried in the ruins were little boys and giris, from seven years of age up to seventeen or eighteen, The occurrence was witnessed by a great number of people, and a cry of horror broke from every one in the | crowd almost at one moment, Several women and even ‘men fainted away, An immense crowd of spectators was goon attracted to the scene, Mothers and fathers , in search | of their children, formed a very iarge portion of the ex- | cited throng, and it ia impossible to depict the agonizing condition of such parents, The shrill cry of mothers for | ‘their Jittle ones, mingled with the hoarse inquiries of fathers and brothers, and the excited exclamations of the crowd rusbing tw lend their assistance, made up a scene @f the most beartrending interest. The first one to ventare into the ruins after the tall of ‘the walls was a poor old man, whose only son was said to have been crushed under the piles of brick and mortar. — Tho whole of the party wall had not at this time tumbled | over. The old man, doubtless not observing this fact, | incautiously rushed forward in an agony of excitement, | when, horrible to relate, the remaining portion of the | wail fell upon bis head, crushing out life in an instant. | The next momenta oumber of the Eighteenth ward | police, aided by a body of laboring men living in the | beighborhood, were a& work raking through the bricks | and rubbish, in order to extricate the bodies of the killed and wounded. The police made the most superhuman exertions, and are entitled 40 the thanks of the public. ‘With pickaxes, crowbars, shovels, &¢., they worked : away, casting into the street piles of bricks, mortar, tim Der, iron, coal, &o, The cries avd moaus of the untor. turate sufferers could be plainly heard in ihe midst of all the excitement, and wits, of course, was an incentive to make the men work all the harder, People who saw the wall falling estimated the number of persons buried as between twenty-five and forty. i Alter erorking for about haif ap hour or more the body | of a beautiful Liste girl wes extricated from the ruins. | She was picked up with groat tewtorness, and conveyed | to Rellevoe Horpital in an terensib!e condition. On being examined by one Of the doctors sue was found to be still alive, and it was uscertaived that her injuries were a fracture of the leftarmand an ugly gash in he bead.

He was horribly cut and mangled. Some friends conveyed him to bis residence in the Ninth avenue. Just after dark the body of a woman was discovered, ‘The last vestige of life had departed. Her name could not De ascertained. Like most of the other unfortunates, she ‘was taken to Bellevue Hospital, to await the action of a Coroner's jury. Up to nine o’clock last night the work of searching for more bodies was carried on, At that bour, for some un- explained and very unsatisfactory reasons, operations ‘were stopped, although it was confidently stated by seve- ral persons living in the neighborhood, and who had wit- nofsed the accident, that several other persons were be- neath the ruins. Our reporter was even informed that a rhort time be- fore, while the men were working away by the light of a lantern, the groans of @ woman were distinctly heara issuing from the cellar. It was asserted by several that among the victims was a woman with a baby in her arms. [he groans were supposed to proceed from this unfortunate creature, However, after vainly striving to make out the exact location from which the sounds iasued, the moaning died awny, and the men ceased operations. ‘This is much to be regretted; for if the story had any foundation in fact, the common feelings of humarity shoud bave spurred the workmen on usti! not a stove or Drick would be left under which a fellow or@ature might de snffering. It is algo stated that among the debris were a number of hoods and bonnets, leading to the supposition that many more women and girls lie barie@ under the ruins. It ts known pretty certainly that besides the woman with the child in her arms another woman and a man are among the victime not yet discovered. When our reposter left the scene ef the awful occur- renee last evening (about nine o’clock) a great crowd of people were assembled about the spot, and much excite- ment existed. All sorts of ramors were in circulation; butas they lacked any color of probability we refrain from giving them insertion, The ruins presented a sombre aspect. A part of the side wall of the demolished engine house was resting loosely against the side of an adjacent engine house—so loosely, indeed, that it might fail upon the crowd of people standing around and cause another frightful catas- trope. Although this was ia such a dangerous condition Dot the slightest notice seemed to be taken of it by the crowds standing around, In the excitement which existed last night it was im- Possible to estimate the probable joss of Me, The police seemed to think that there were not more than three or four bodies, if any, stili unextricated. The people, on the other hand, made a much larger estimate, calculating the total number of victims as betwoen tweaty-five aud forty. Yesterday eleven bodies were taken out, seven of which wore dead, and one of those with life still in it was deemed to be past recovery. ‘The Coroners have been duly notified to hold an inquest. on the bodies w-day, when doubtless all the facts, with fuller particulars than could be obtained when this report ‘was written out, will be furnished.

For over two years they have perilied bealtn and life in aiding to pnt down this rebeiiion. Im these two yeors more than half ‘their comrades have failen in battle. It became neces. sary by drafting to raise a competent force to prosecute apd end the war, This draft is resisted, and violence, Piiage acd murder follow im ite track. “I wisl my regiment was there,” says colonel after colonel; “1 would wipe those feliows out.” If I had my battery there,’ says a battery captain, “I'd blow every rioter to the devil” ‘I'd shoot or hang every one of the mean cowards,” says everybody, (ur brave and self. sacrificing soldiers would shuw po mercy.
