Stories of the survivors. however,
show that those on the basement
floor, where the underpinning of the
building first gave way, received
warning which enabled all but one or
two or them to reach a place of safe-
ty before the four upper floors came
crashing down. .
Shortly after 10 o'clock' the thir-
teenth body was found and identified
as that of Miss Winifred Kelly.1 by
her father.
All day yesterday Contractor John
Dyer. Jr.. refused to see reporters and
would not talk about the accicdnt. To-
day he made the following statement:
“1 had the contract for the work that
was being done at the Myers’ store.
We were enlarging the basement. 1
had about thirty men at work. There
was excavating done. but none that i
know of that would weaken the walls.
i could not say offhand what the thick-
ness of the walls was. None of our
work gave way, and i cannot account
for the accident. We were shoring
part of the walls and strengthening
them. The building of course is a
succession of old buildings that have
been remodelled from time. to time
and have been built onto.
"C. L, nugget, one of the most comv
potent men in the state was supervis-
ing the work for me i am now in
teresled mainly in clearing out the
w1cckcd bonding and getting the peo-
ple out, and am not prepared to make
any specific statement. as to the calam-
ity. i feel sure. , however, that it
will be shown label on that it was
thiough no fault of mine that the 1111-
cldcni occ.urred "
“lhs calamity at Myers is Just
what might have been expected." said
Marcus '1‘. Reynolds, an architect. who
has designed several of the city's lar-
gest buildings. “North Pearl street
for the most part is lined with old
ramshackle buildings that have been
remodelled. altered and their walls
made to bear the weights they were
never intended to support. 1111 re-
sult finally would be that the walls
would be much weakened and when
any alterations are undertaken as was
done in the case of John G. Myers
Company. the operation is extremely
precarious and attended with dan~
ger."
A thorough search carried on since
curly morning has revealed the an
expected fact that all the men and all
but one of the women employed in the
department store of the John G. Myers ._
Company, which collapsed yesterday,
are accounted for, About thirty cash
boys out of 75 have not yet reported.
but the loss of the payroll makes it
impossible to check up anything like a
complete list of these. it is thought
scarcely possible that many of them
are in the ruins, for the proportion of
boys thus for known to be killed and
injured is small.
These facts lead to the belief that
the number of deaths will prove con~
slderably loss than was feared. The
dead found thus for number thirteen
and there is hope that not more than
half a dozen bodies are still in the
wreck.

WOODBURY. August 9.—The Curtis
Woolen Mill on the Pomeruug, was
totally burned this noon. it was a
four story brick structure with the
main building covering an area of 100

ties were manufactured. Thiray hands
ware employed. The fire caught in
the picker room and was undoubtedly
of a spontaneous nature. it spread
rapidly and as the fire fighting appar-
atus was insufficient, it did not take
an hour for the flames in entirely con-
sume the building. A small save mill
in the rear also was burned and for
a time a number of opsratlves' hous-
es la the rear were threatened. but
