Westward Ho!
Ex-Mayor E. O. Keeler, our popular
Fourth District Delegate to the St.
Louis National Convention, is to go on
a special vestibuled train of sumptuous
Pullman Cars, contracted for by Ex-
Governor Morgan G. Bulkcley and
which is to leave Hartford on Friday
and reach its destination early on the
Sunday morning prior to the meeting
of the Convention. The train is to be
made up of a Baggage, Commissary,
Dining, Parlor, Bath and Barber Shop
car, and Sleepers enough for all the
party, with all the comfortable and lux-
urious accessories known to modern
railroad art. This palatial outfit is to
be side-tracked at St. Louis and remain
as the home of our delegates and such
friends as accompany them, duringvthe
entire period of the Cenvention and
then return to Hartford in the same
manner.
In addition to all the above, Govern-
. or Bulkeley, who is in special charge
of the cuisine for the, voyage, is re-
ported to have arranged for the most
abundant supplies of every delicacy the
markets of the world can produce and
which will be dealt out with the un-
stinted liberality and profusion, for
which he is so justly celebrated, and if
our friend Keeler gets home again With-
out an attack of gout or apoplexy, he
will establish a new record for capacity
and endurance.
Already, it is whispered about, that
Keeler, although not much of a psalm
singer, and his fellow delegates, are
straining their vocal chords to the ut.
most limits, on the following soul-stir-
ing refrain, which is to be sung in full
chorus by the jolly boys on their trip
“Westward Ho: ”
“Hurrah for a home in a. Pullman car.
Hurrah for a trip on the iron bar,
Hurrah for a ride without jostle or jar—
With a jolly good company.
Chm-us by Full Company——
Viv’e 1a, viv’e 1a, viv’c la more.
Viv’e la, McKinley company.”
Certain it is, that Imperial Caesar,
never rode the Appian Way of old
Rome in half the affluent splendor in
which‘our enthusiastic friend Keeler is
to fly westward to the McKinley Cou-
veniiou; and may the Lord have
mercy on his nerves (and stomach) and
return him safe and sound to his ad-
miring but anxious constituency when
all is over at St. Louis, as the Thirs
tenth Senatorial District, has impera-
tive need of him for its. candidate this
fall.

A Big Buildingfiollapses Without the
Slightest Warning.
MANY CAUGHT IN THE RUINS
Some Were Rescued, but at Least Two
Are Dead, and Others Are Proba-
bly Still In the Debris—A Par-
_ tau List or the Victims.
BUFFALO, May 22.—A loud crash, the
breaking of timbers, sound of falling
brick, shrieks of men, united in startling
people in the vicinity of Main and Seneca
streets today. What seemed at first to be
an awful calamity. involving great loss of
human life, had occurred. A little later
hope began to grow that the loss of life
was not so great as at first feared, but it
was certain that several lives had been
lost. ' ‘
The four story brick building 8 to 10
Seneca street. part of it forming a portion
of the Brown building recently vacated
by the Western Union Telegraph company,
collapsed, with scarcely a warning, while
a number of men were at work in the
structure remodeling it.
walls went down upon a couple of smaller
brick buildings adjoining on the east side,
practically demolishing them". Schnert’s
barber shop, next door to the falling
building, was crushed like an eggshell.
It was full of harbors and customers, and
it was certain that all of them did not get
out alive. Quickly responding to an
alarm, a force. of men was put at work
clearing away the ruins. They worked
with feverish haste, hurling brick and
broken iron and timbers into the street,
for they heard as they worked the agonizcd
cry of men beneath them. In the street,
a terrible evidence of the disaster, flowed
a stream of blood from a horse that had
been strickenfdead in the middle of the
street by the falling debris. A tide of
brick, mortar, laths, beams and boards
swept from the base of the ruined stores
of 8 and 10 Seneca street over the sidewalk
and nearly to the middle of the street.
The walls on the West, north and south
sides stood nearly intact. The front wall
having fallen out gave the ruins the ap-
pearance of a hollow square. From the
third story of the wrecked portion of the
building an immense piece of floor seemed
to hang above the heads of the rescuing
party. The wall to the south had broken
at the top, and a portion of it had been
carried away by the roof as it caved in.
This wall from the second story up to
what had been the third stood alone and
unsupported and was regarded as the chief
danger. The crowd constantly predicted
that it wOuld fall and bury the firemen.
The Brave Firemen.
The fire department responded to the
alarm with commendable promptitude.
Scarcely had the alarm bell done sounding
when trucks Nos. 1 and 2 were on the
scene of the terrible wreck. quickly fol.
lowed by engines Nos. 1, 7, 10, 12 and 13.
Like good. solid life savers, the firemen
turned to and worked as though their own
lives depended on the struggle.
A groan was heard from beneath the
heaps of bricks and timber, and the res-
cuers Wurked like Trojans. After 20 min.
utes' work they dragged a mangled piece
of humanity from the pile. An’hmbulance
bore him away. At 9:40 the gang of fire-
mcu Working in the midst of the ruins
over the sidewalk were noticed to sudden-
ly redouble their efforts. Soon after the
strong arms 0? threp firemen pulled a
young follow from the debris. e was
able in) stand by himself and rubbed the
m‘B’ftdr and dust from his eyes. He had
been imprisoned under ten feet of brick.
The great crowd began cheering when
they first saw him. When they saw he was
uninjured, a loud, hearty cheer rose for
his miraculous escape. He is Robert Cas-
ler, a young steamfitter, who was in the
cellar and heard the first cracking warn-
ings of the impending ruin. He looked up
. and saw the rafters and joists give way.
He sprang quickly into the part of the cel-
lar that is under the sidewalk. A moment
later the whole structure was about his
ears. He was tightly penned in, although
he could breathe easily. He said there
were two steamfitters and two helpers in
the cellar, and he did not see them as the
building fell. He thinks they may haVe
escaped injury, as they were in the other
part of the cellar. So farbut one dead
man is known, though it is evident there
are more fatalities.
The Victims.
The Dead—George 'Metz, one of Jones’
harbors, 24 years old, died at the Fitch
hospital at 9:65.
An unidentified man.
The Injured—S. L. Hawks, a carpenter,

Straub. Fullmyer and Kuppinger were
workmen and were pinioned down by
beams and bricks. ‘All were rescued alive.
The extent of their injuries is not known.
The dead man was taken out soon after-
ward. °
Missing—Miss Jennie Grimn, cashier
in Jonss’ barber shop, is buried beneath
the ruins, and there are many others un-
accounted for.
Herman J. Schintzek, one of the harbors
who escaped uninjured, said that as he
was rushing out he saw the walls and de«
bris fall upon Miss Griffin. Nothing has
been heard of her, and the firemen are
working hard at the mine to learn the
truth of thvumor.
An iron column has been found in the
excavation of the ruins which is full of .
sandhoies and about as strong as pumice
stone. The district attorney has taken
some handfuls of it for use before the
grand jury.
' At the hospitals the surgeons say that
all the injured will recover that have been
brought in.
