WOMAN EXPECTED TO DIE. +Hundreds of Toilers in the Building Panic-Stricken When the Crash Comes, and All Make a Mad Rush for the Street, One young woman was so badly in- red that she will probably die and four ‘men were badly cut and bruised in a wild elevator to-day that dropped six stories in the building at No. 27 West Houston street. Miss Emily L. Murphy, who it 1s be- Meved is fatally injured, is employed in the building as a bookkeeper by tne Worden, Clarke Company, manufactur- ‘ers of undertakers’ dry goods, The other fassengers were C. B. Worden, one of her employers; James Connor, a truck- (river, of No. 21 Fourth street, and Max }Leiventhal, his helper, of No. 2 Rut- gers street, and John Murphy, the ele- ‘vator operator, of No. 419 West Sixteenti street. There are 600 girls and women em- ployed in the building where the accident occurred, The ciagh of the cer as it truck the basement, which was heard throughout the neighborhood, sounded like an explosion and shook the struc- ture to its foundation Panic in the Building. The workers on all the floors, bellev- fng the building was about to come @own on their heads, rushed into the halls and started for the street exits. Panto reigned, and it seems miraculous Qhat many of them were not crushed to death in the Jam. Torn clotaing was all they suffered by thelr mad rush. ‘The elevator, which is used for both possenger and freight purposes, began tu wobbie against Its slides after passing the fourth floor, where some goods had deen put off.

Two atreet car accidents occurred at 9 o'clock to-day in Greater New York, in both of which passehgers were severely injured and great excitement prevailed. ‘Two Madison avenue cars collided in the Park avenue tunnel, injuring several passengers, wragking the cars and block- ading traMc, A Coney Island trolley car ran tnto @ loaded coal wagon at Manhattan ave- nue and Broadway, Williamsburg, prob- ably fatally injuring the driver of the wagon and badly injuring a number of the passengers. A souih-bound Madison avenue electric car ran with great force into the rear end of the car in front of it in the Park avenue tunnel, between Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, demolishing both cars, Each car was well Milled with pas- sengers and many, mostly women, were injured. The shrieks of hysterical women were whe first warnings that came to the street of the accident. These women, some of them Injured and bleeding from rushed to the north end of the tunnel, where many of them fell exhausted. Calls were sent to the Flower, Roose- velt, New York and Bellevue Hospitals for ambulances, and Policemen David Brown, Edward S. Smith and Freder- ick Oakes went to the north entrance of the tunnel, but there were stopped by employees of the Interurban Railway Company. The polico would not en- force their demands for admittance and stood useless where they were. Thomas Tommino, of No. 197 Halsey street, Brooklyn, waa the motorman of the rear car. He says he was unable to turn off the electric current or apply the brakes, and that when the car In front of him gtopped not twenty feet away he jumped to save his life, Crash Was Terrific. The rear car struck the other with fearful impact, shattering the front end of one and the back of the other. The first seat back of the glass front of the back car was occupied by women. Men and women occupied the other seats in that car, as they did in the first car, Immediately after the collision the whole tunnel was filled with wreckage, motors and human beings, Parts of the wrecked cars communicated the deadiy electric currents above the floor of the inclosure and many of the injured and excited passengers recelved flerce shocks In addition to their wounds. It so happened that no northbound car was passing at the time, otherwise the accident would have been more serious. The first young woman taken from the tunnel was Miss Jennie Samuels, of No. 112 West One Hundred and FE}; eenth street. Her back was hurt and she was picked up by the tunnel employees while unconscious and taken to the Grand Union Hotel. When she | was revived she refused to go to a hos- pital. Miss Alice M. Harris, of No. 26 Cen- | eral Park West, was severely cut about the face and hands by flying glass, and was bruised about the body. She she fainted while being taken out of the tunnel. Women Became Hysterical, Miss Adelaide Wisner, of No. 1903 Sev- One Hundred and Twenty-fourth stre: ‘More difficulty was experienced in con- tending with the hysterical women than {n caring for the injured, Many men and women who were brutsed and cut ran out the south end of the tunn leaving behind them hats, purses, un brellas and parts of thelr clothing, In the large amount of personai prop- erty found jn the tunnel, which the excited passengers had left, were mauy hats, both of men and of women, ' ts bore the marks "W, All this property was st ‘Thirty-ffth street pojlee st URED IN CAR COLLISIONS Park Avenue Tun- and Wrecks Both Cars—Williamsburg Trolley Strikes Driver's Skull Is tunnel. No one was permitted to enter, not even the ambulance surgeons, the execution of an old order which brought down upon the company’s employees the condemnation of tae crowds. ‘The police did not seem to care to escort the surgeons in, and the company employees had the whole executive Snrce of the city balked. The tunnct was blockaded more than an hour. All of the Injured were taken to thelr homes. THIS CAR STRUCK A COAL WAGON. Between sixty and seventy passengers were riding on the trolley-car which struck a local wagon in Williamsburg. The car was coming from Coney Island and was bound for the Broadway ferry. Motorman Howard Baruch was be- hind time, and he ran along Broadway at a terrilc rate of speed. As the car neared Manhattan avenue Baruch noticed the coal wagon turning into the tracks. It was the largest vehicle used by the Stratton Lehigh Company, and was drawn b y three horses. Henry Meyer, af No, 262 North Tenth street, was driving and on the seat with him was John Edwards. Motorman Baruch applied the brakes, rang his bell and shouted, but it was of no avail, The wagon was too far upon the tracks to get out of the way. With a crash that could be heard for blocks the car struck the coal wagon. Meyer and Edwards were hurled into the alr and the former fell in the street on his head. Passengers In the car were thrown in all directions, Some of them landed in the street and others were hurled under the seats amid a shower of broken glass. Every One on Car Hurt, Every one on the car sustained cuts or bruises. Some of those who were serl- ously injured were: Archibald McLean, of No. 867 Putnam avenue; Jacob Antner, of No. 1732 Pa- cific street, and two women, who refused to give thelr names to the police, ‘The passengers Who were able to get to tholr feet made their way to HB. R. Miller's drug store, at No, 683 Broad- y ‘and the sa.con of John Lutz, No. 68 Broadway, Where thelr wounds’ were dressed. When Meyer, the driver of the wagon, was picked up he was unconsclous, 4 physician said his skull had been frac- tured and that the Injury migat prove fatal, ‘Neither Motorman Raryech nor Patrick Whalen, the conductor Af the car, was arrested.

JAMES McGREERY & GO; BRITISH CIVEN UP AS LOST The Macduff, Which Sailed from This Port for Pensacola on April 28, Has Not Since Been Heard From. The British bark Macduff, an tron three-master of 1,280 tons, owned by George Gordon & Co., of Glasgow, Scotland, which left this port in ballast for Pensacola, Fla., on April 28 last, and has not been heard of since, has been given up at the Maritime Exchange as lost, The Macduff was com: ded by Capt. v. C, Huolin, who has had charge of her for years, and carried a crew of about thirty men, The second mate on the last voyage was E. W. Milner, of Hull, England. Before putting to sea on April 28, Capt, Huelin filled out his crew by engaging thirteen sailors through the British Consulate at this | port. Of this unlucky number owe of the sailors was a German, another a Finn, four Greeks, two nglish, two Swedes, one a Spaniard, one a Dane and one a Maltese. ‘The Macduff was registered Al at Lioyds and was worth nearly $100,0W. Byen under unfavorable conditions, shipping men say, she should have made Pensacola in three weeks. She Is now seven weeks out and has not been re- ported by any vessel after clearing Sandy Hook, although her course to the Gulf of Mexico was in that of all ocean travel to and from the South. Just what |happened to tne bark may never be nown, as none of the wreckage re- ported along the Southern coast in any way resembles her hull or fAttings. The thirteen men shipped here were: G. W.
