THE NEW YORK HORROR
Twenty-eight Mangled Bodies So Far
Taken from the Rains.
A HUNDRED STILL MISSING.
The Stonch from the Bodies Yet in the
Debris Necessitatcs Disinfectione'l‘ho
Work of Rescue—The Accident
Caused by Overloading.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—Another sun has
risen and set upon Saturday's awful dis-
aster, and as yet the one thing definitely
known is the fact that stunned a. city [of a
million of people that a building has fallen-
and that somewhere in the wreck lie buried
nobody knots how many maimed bodies.
Twenty-eight had been taken out of the
ruins on Park place up to a late hour,
with the work of digging but just begun
in earnest. Half a dozen of them, indeed,
were killed on the sidewalk. A hundred
have been reported missing. .
The thought how many more may be
found when the bottom has been reached
0 the tangled wreck sends a. shudder
through the waiting crowds beyond the
olice lines, and with the fascination that
Oath ever works upon the living, they
stand in sunlight and rain, muddy, per—
splring, starving and cross—to look and
s udder.
As the work of digging out the ruins
progresses it is becoming more and more
evident that the disaster was not due to
an explosion, but to an overloaded and
unsubstantial building giving way under
the great strain of heavy printing presses
constantly running night and day.
Inspector Williams’ Opinion.
Inspector Williams was early at the
Church street station, and in his cool, vig-
dl‘ous way took the direction of affairs.
Some lifting apparatus, he said, would be
necessary to clear away the wreckage. In

addition to a basement there was asub—
fellar, and the big printing presses, weigh—
ng from five to seven tons, had crushed
doWn through everything to this cellar.
About the presses the inspector thought
many bod es would be discovered.
“What 0 you think was the cause of
the disaster?” the inspector was asked.
“It was simply that the building was
verweighted‘ and collapsed,” he said.
‘There was no boiler in it, and no ex-
plosion. Perhaps, after the crash, there
ave been some minor. explosions
from t e drug store, but that was all.”
The Stenoh Unbearable.
By afternoon the odor of the burned
bodies been e' painfully offensive, and
President ilson, of the health depart-
ment acted premptl on arrivin at s’ani—
ta headquarters. He found t ere was
no ope f0 any one buried in the ruins,
and that a. y chemical used for disinfeco
tion would not be likely to kill any one
that mi ht be rescued alive. He at once
sought nspector Byrnes and conferred
with him in regard to disinfecting the
ruins, as reports received by him Were to
the eifebt that an odor of decomposition
had already been detected.
As a result of this conference, Sanitary
Inspectors Doty and Lucus were sum-
moned, and, in accordance with lnstruc~
tions, Dr. Doty immediately reported to
Inspector Byrnes, and Inspector Lucas
was directed to have all the disinfecting
corps that was available ready with chem-
lcals and tanks of disinfecting gas.
So far all of the bodies recovered from
the ruins were so burned and charred as
to r _nder recognition in many cases im-
poss ble.
Bobbing the Dead.
During the day amid all the scene of
horror a miserable creature was caught in
the act of rifiing the pockets of the cloth-
ing ofavictim of this dreadful disaster.
J a‘mes Mitchell, of 213 West Thirty-eighth
street, and a lad named William Sullivan,
of 174 East One Hundred and Seventh
street, standing in the throng of people in
the street, saw a. low sized, swarthy Ital-
ian, who was among the laborers em-
ployed in clearing away the ruins, stoo

F. Sweeney, of the Charles street squad
and SWeeney rus ed upon the ghoul an
arrested him. he fellow cowered an
criiiged and whined, but he was hustle
off 0 the Church street tation, other of-
ficers keeping the crowd ack.
he word was soon passed that Office]
weeney’s prisoner had been robbing the
sad, and the crowd was infuriated. They
made a rush for the station, but bettei
counsel prevailed, and they dispersed
peacefu 1y.
The prisoner gave his name as Joseph
Lusson and said he lived at the Fivc
Points. On his person was found a small
silver watch and chain, a brass foot rule.
a brass key and a pocket knife, all taken
rom the clothing of some poor victims,
_hc prisoner was much frightened and
(begged for mercy in Italian. He was taken
irectly to the Tombs.
The Morbid Crowd.
Great crowds surrounded the scene vol
the awful horror all day, but scarcely any
One of them all could see anything but the
cat jagged hole in the south side of the
lock from the spot for which he was pro
ared to do battle at such short notice.
ut upon that black gap, with a. stare that
never Ewavered, except once in awhile
bliere came into sight a. procession of men
f cm the pile of wreck, bearing between
t em’a coffin toward a little heap on the
aid walk nearest College place, was riv-
éte every eye in the inner circle of watch-
are
There it stood, five, six that were full,
as many yet awaiting their tenants. Cir-
cus posters from the wreck, guy with col-
or of all sorts, but wet and bedraggled,
wgh edges blackened by fire, served for
p is in two instances. From under
them protruded. the end of a burn
arm, the stump of a leg. The remnan
of a shoe, with the charred foot yet stickd
ing in it, lay on top of one as the only
means by which the man within might be
identified. N ow another was carried out,
a man, burned like all the rest beyond
recognition, and. necks were craned be-
yond the line to catch a glimpse of the
passing horror. ‘
No Home for Her.
In the crowd which grouped itself about
the ruins was Mrs. Theodore Heinmerich,
of 338 East Ninth street. She ins looking
for her husband, who was twenty-three
years Old, and her brother-in-law, both of
whom were somewhere in the ruins. She
proposed to-wait where she was until they
were brought out. She cried occasionally,
and to the baby in her arms she said, ‘ ‘You
have ,no papa now, Eddie; _you have no
papal” And the baby smiled and crowed
contentedly, and clapped its chubby hands
together.
A kind hearted fireman advised the wo-
man to go home. ._
“No,” she answered, “there is no rest for
me at home. It’s no home to me.”
A Painful Scene.
Then came one of the sensational scenes
of the day. It was in the identification of
M. S. Shadduck, the boy who was known
as NO. 18. His mother had been haunting
the scene since Saturday afternoon, and in
the morning she came with another other
sons. The lid that _. covered' No. 18 was
raised, and then hysterical sobs broke the
car.
They did not come'from the mother, but
from the son, whose frame shock with the
intensity of his emotion. Not a tear was
visible in the eyes of the mother, but her
face was hard and set, and her bloodshot
eyes looked straight ahead and there was
no meaning in them. The Shadducks-
the mother has 'been married a second
time and is Mrs. Sullivan now—live at 21
Moore street, Williamsburg.
The brother of young Shadduck did not
leave theiscene when he had identified the
body. Every few moments he would ex-
amine the remains. and each time he saw
the great gaping wound in his brother’s
side where the flesh had been torn out in
a solid chunk, he began sobbing hysteric
ally. He refused to leave until the under-
taker, which he had summoned, took the
remains of his brother away.
Moving the Big Presses. _.
One of Marvin’s big safe wagons with
tackle was brought to the scene and the
work of. removing the heavy presses was
begun. When they are out of the way it
is believed that's scene of horror will dis-
close itself, for in the basement where they
lay will be found the remains of the un-
fortunates who ware in the restaurant
when the fatal crash came. When the
presses are remoVed it is thought that the
work of bringing out the bodies will pro-
gress with rapidity, and in another day at
least the worst will be known. ‘
The firemen are working with a. will
and are nobly helped by the police, and the
members of both forces act as though they
wore searching for some of their own loved
ones.
It is probable that a subscription will be
started for the families of the victims.

They Were Playing Jul].
IRONTON, 0., Aug. 25.—The mystery sur-
rounding the tragedy of Friday in which
the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Geor 9
Hamilton were found smothered to dea h
in a. chest in which they had been fastened
has been cleared up. William Warwick,
a playmate of the Hamilton children, ad-
mitted to his mother that Kirche Gurliche
and a. boy name Pcmberton, to other
with himself, while playing “jail” ockcd
the unto tunate children in the chest, and,
being ca led to supper shortly afterw rd
forgot to let them out. When told is at
Warwick had confessed the boys told the
same story. The mothers of the childrep
are crazed with grief, but it is not likely
anything will done in the matter as
none of be boys 3 over eight years old.
“Babe” Inlay Bo Lynched Too.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Aug. 25.—City Mar-
shal Bruce was shot by Charles Hawkins,
a noted desperado, who was afterward are
rested and placed in jail. An enraged mob
later on took Hawkins from prison and
hanged him and riddled his body with
bullets. Bruce is still alive, his nerve be
ing greatly in his favor. An aflecting
scene was witnessed when the wife and
mother of Hawkins were allowed to see
the remains. There were five bullets in
his body and his skull was fractured.
“Babe” Hawkins is said to be in town
seeking vengeance on'the Slayers of his
brother. He is a more desperate character
than Charles was, and a little thing at the
present time will procure him a taking off
similar to that of his brother.
Mad or Shamming.
TOLEDO, Aug. 25.—An Ottawa (0.) spe-
cial to The Bee says: “James M. Roberts,
the alleged Columbus Grove murderer, ar-
rived here in charge of Marshal Faith, of
New Washington, and Deputy Sherifl
Reuve, of Ottawa. Not over a score of
people were present when the train ar-
rived, and the prisoner was quietly taken
to the jail and locked up. There are many"
strangers in town, but, there is no excite
ment and all talk of lynching is simply
nonsense. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Roberts,
of Auburndale, a suburb of Toledo, par-
ents of the prisoner, are here, and both
are certain they can prove an alibi. The
prisoner is either stark mad or is playing
the insanity dodge.”
The Suevia Disabled at Sea.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-—The Cunard
steamer Servia, Which has reached here
from Liverpool, reports that on the 215!
inst. at 7:80 p. in. she spoke the steamer
Suevia, from Hamburg for New York, in
a disabled condition. The Suevia had lost
three blades of her propeller. She was
then in latitude 43 dogs. 34 min. and ion-
gitude 56 dogs. 46 min.
.. Alleged Poisoner Arrested.
WESTEIELD, N. J., Aug. 25.—John Pfeif-
fer, who lives on a small plot of ground on
the northern outskirts of the village of
Westfield, was arrested by two local con-
stables on a charge of putting poison into
a well 031 the farm of Lawrence Clark.
Some of Mr. Clark’s cattle were partially
poisoned by the water from the well.

HANOVER, N. H. , Aug. 25.—A1my’s iden-

derers’ broken leg, which compelled him
to lie in a certain position, has hitherto
prevented an examination of his back, but
Monday the position was changed, when
the scars of the buckshot on his back were
plainly visible.
Mrs. Wiemot, the aunt of George H.
Abbott, called to see the criminal Monday
and identified him as her nephew. Mr.
Warden and his young son called upon
him also. They said “Good morning” to
him and he replied in kind. There was no
Almy’s Brazen Visit. '
Miss Jeannette ThOmas, a relative of
Professor Pattee, whose connection with
the Almy case has often been referred to,
tells a story of a midnight visit received
from the murderer on July 15, two days
before the murder of Christie \Varden.
She says that on that night she occupied
a room usually slept in by Christie War-
den. About midnight she was aroused by
some one in her room. Asking who was
there, she was grappled by the throat.
Her assailant at the sync time said:
“Keep still. I won’t harm you.” The-in-
truder then asked of the afirighted woman
if the room was not the one usually occu-
pied by Christie and demanded to know
where she was. 4
He was informed the. Miss Warden had
left the house that a ternoon. He then
asked the name of the occupant of Chris-
tle’s bed and was told. After receiving
this information he said: “I am Christie’s
lover. Her parents and sister are opposed
to my suit and I cannot see her at her
home. Don’t mention this intrusion by
me to her or anybody else. If it became
known that a man visited her chamber
her reputation would be blasted forever.
I am sure you would not want that to oc-
cur, now, would you?” he added, with a
sarcastic laugh.
The villian, Miss Thomas goes on to re-
late, than ressed a pistol to her breast
and made her pledge most solemnly that
she would never reveal his visit. He said
he had been in the room before, and asked
if the door was fastened. This question,
Miss Thomas says, branded him as a liar,
as there Was he fastening to the door.
Almy subsequently forced an object 1114
her hand, which roved to be a. 44-calib
cartridge. He told her to keep it as a me-
mento of his visit and a reminder of her
oath not to reveal it, and solemnly de-
clared he would kill her if she ever men-
tioned his intrusion to alivlng soul. Almy
then departed.
Miss Thomas’ story onfirms the theory
that has long revailed. It is that Almy
was intensely ealous of Professor Pattee
and that of this jealousy the most cruel
and unjust sus lcions had arisen within
his breast, inv Iliving his victim and the
ousy was the cpuse of Almy’s midni ht
visit to Christie 5 room, when the mur er-
e'r, it is conjectured, expected that hg
wouldfflnd gro ds for his suspicions an
w re'pf d, it matters were as sus-
ec _, t llboth Miss Warden and the
rofes'rsor. .
