A triangular slice from the corner of the Sagamore Hotel, a four-story brick building at the northwest corner of Thirty-fifth street and Eighth avenue, fell out into the street this afternoon, burying five workmen en- gaged in putting in a new sidewalk and two passersby. A man who saw he accident said that he noticed two or three women and children from the | three upper floors falling with the bricks and other wreckage, and this} had the effect of putting the police to extraordinary exertions in the way \of rescue. The reserves were ordered from the West Twentieth, West Thirtieth tpid ‘West Thirty-seventh street stations and calls were sent in for seven } ambulances, Bellevue Hospital sending four. A fire alarm was turned in! also, and within a few minutes after the accident two of the injured men | had been taken out of the ruins. They were Michael Ritchie, who sustained severe {nternal injuries, and) ‘Cornelius McMahon, who suffered contusions. Both were rushed to Roose- | velt Hospital. Ritchie's condition fs serious. The Sagamore Hotel is a Raines Law establishment conducted by W. P. Halahan. He occupies the ground floor and part of the first floor. The two top floors are occupied by families in flats. It 1s supposed that the work of lowering the sidewalk weakened the foundation walls at the corner. The collapse occurred without warning, | beginning at the bottom of the building and extending clear to the roof. Heavy girders were torn from their fastenings by the force of the falling | bricks and furniture from the former rooms of the flats tumbled down into the street. An enormous crowd gathered in a few minutes, and regardless of the) danger of a further collapse many men began to tear the bricks and twisted | timbers away. By the time the police and firemen arrived the work of rescue was well on foot. WORKED THE1iR WAY OUT. Some of the laborers were able to work their way out of the debris unaided, having sustained only slight injuries. Nicholas Varaccl, une bootblack. was polishing the shoes of William McCarthy on the sidewalk on|the Thirty-fifth street side of the building when the collapse occuerred. y Varacc! was badly hurt, while McCarthy was not even scratched. Mamie Connelly, of No. 345 West Thirty-fifth street, was on her way i home at the time of the accident, pasing the building on the south side| 4, of Thirty-fifth street. A flying brick struck her, fracturing her right leg. Mr. and Mrs. Harris W. Nichols, of No. 132 Past Twenty-third street, | who were passing, were covered with debris. Mr. Nich right arm was broken and his wife's head was cut by a brick. - | SHE HAD NARROW ESCAPE. Less than a minute before the accident Mrs. Dora Weiss and her daughter, Carrie, left the corner room of the ‘building on the top floor and went to the kitchen in the rear. This move undoubtedly saved their | lives, as the floor and walls of the room and the roof dropped to the street. ‘Tiree ‘days ago the front wall of the house cracked along the line where it parted to-day. It Is said that complaint was made to the con- tractor, but no one can be found to substantiate this thus far. ait The police arrested James Parr,.of No. 236 Bast One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, foreman of the bar fixture gang. His men had taken out the windows and were putting in & new ornamental front. He says, however, that they had not touched a supporting column, and, in his judg- ment, the collapse was caused by a rotten girder in the ground floor, It Is reported that the repairs to the building were being made by John Jordan, of Thirty-eighth street and Eighth avenue, the father of Superin- tendent of Buildings Jordan, and that the two concerns at work had sub-let| the job. The Superintendent of Buildings was on the scene within twenty!
