Can’t be gamed
-the equal of Dr. Pierce’s olden
Medical Discovery. If other medi-
cines of its class were like it, they’d
be guaranteed. This is. If it
doesn’t benefit or cure, in every
case for which it’s recommende ,
you get your money back. It
isn’t a “cure-all,” but it does cure
all diseases arising from a torpid
or deranged liver, or from impure
blood. For all Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it’s a positive rein-
cdy. Even Consumption, or Lun -
scrofula, is cured by it, if taken in
time and given a fair trial. That’s
all that’s asked for it—a fair trial.
Then, if it doesn’t help you, there’s
no pay. -

We claim it to be an unequaled
remedy'to purify the blood and in-
vigorate the liver. We claim it to
be lasting in" its cfiects, creating an
appetite, purifying the blood, and

reventing Bilious, Typhoid and
alarial fevers, if taken in time.
The time to take it is when you
first feel the signs of weariness and

THE DEATH but. GROWS!

"SiXt'y-five Bodies Taken from Out
, .Got-ham’s Ghastly Wreck.

THE END IS NEAR AT HAND.

‘P
lt'Looks Now nsI'I‘bough the Fatal List
Would Not Exceed Elgh}y——Only Forty-
onmof the Bodies Have Been Iden-
tified—The HOn-ors of the Search.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Sixty-five is the
number to which the ghastly death finger
new points, registering the number of
victims .taken from the scene of the Park
place horror. So rapid has been the work
of taking out the wreckage and getting
rid of the debris under the improved con-
ditions that the end of the work now seem!
near at hand.

Of the sixty-five bodies recovered forty-
oue have been identified. There are still
nearly eighty persons reported as missing,
but it does not seem probable that such a
large number could still be in the ruins.

Dr. K. B. Page now thinks the total
number of deaths will preve not to exceed
eighty. Dr. Page has been at work at the
scene of the disaster every night since Sat-
urday night, with but seven hours’ sleep
since then. ,. His work in examining and
preparing an official description of the
noisome corpses wrested from the ruins is
of the most wearing and unpleasant na-
ture imaginable, yet he has never failed to
give a courteous answer to a newspaper
man, and has assisted them in every way
in getting full and correct information.

There is still a cellar under one of the
four stores to be explored, and there is
quite room enough for a score or two of
bodies to be hidden away. There is need
of being in a hurry, or all hope of finding
anything except scattered remnants of
what once had human shape must be
abandoned. The process of decomposition
has been rapid down in the steaming
depths where the bodies lay buried, and
nothing but the free use of bromide disin-
fectants of extra strength saves the neigh-
borhood from a nausea that might be
powerful enough even to drive the curious
crowds away—though that is extremely
doubtful.

Fighting the Rate.

One of the most revolting incidents of
the search was related by Mr. Lehmann,
one of the attaches of the coroner’s office,
who was assisting Dr. Page in overseeing
the taking out of the dead bodies. He

went dewn in the cellar wayof No; 74,-. ~

Where two bodies partially uncovered had
been left for a'fewi minutesrwhile the
workmen went ’tcgget hexes.

denly there was a shriek, and the laborer
nearest it di'opped his shovel and ran back
a few feet crying, “Great Heavens! Lee

The corpse was that of a big man, hor-
ribly mutilated by the fire, like the bodies
that had preceded it. But the ankles
were a bright green, and the arms, nearly
to the elbows, were of a. vivid vermiliou.
No wonder the workmen were frightened.

But the matter was soon ‘explained to
the satisfaction of everybody. Liebler &
Macs did a great deal of work for theat-
rical companies, and, in preparing the big
“stands” of paper, needed quantities of
The unfortunate just
found had rested in a solution of these
colors, and was literally dyed in addition
to being crushed to death and burned.
Probably when the workmen get further
down they will find more strange looking
corpses.

To Be Investigated.

The rear wall of the fallen building has
been shored up to prevent it from falling
upon the wreckers. Upon the sidewalk a
few red eyed women yet remain, asking

adly for this one and that one, who, they
{9313 may have been in the restaurant at

he time of the collapse, because he worked
thereabouts or was in the habit of passing
that way.

This is one of the wonderful features ‘of
t e terrible disaster that urges the wreck-
e on lest they be too late—the uncertain-
ty as to who was in the restaurant at the
time of the collapse and the agony of the
many who fear the worst, having heard

othing of their loved ones since that fate-

n1 luncheon hour. Another day of delay
and they may never know. .

As the timbers of the wrecked building
are separated from the rubbish and exam-
lgped, the belief that the struct re was not

trong enough to support the fty tons 01
weight on the upper floors grows into cer-
tainty. The joists of the upper floors
were framed into the brick walls only
three or four inches, or. about the thick

ess of one brick. It is a wonder that the
rst turn G the heavy presses did not dis-
lodge them. _ It seems impossible that they

IuId haVe stood so long under the vibra
t one of fifteen presses.

Gunning S. Bedford, who has charge 01
the district attorney’s office during Mr.
Nicoll’s absence, is devoting all his ener-

ies to fixing the blame for the disaster.

olonel Townsend, who has been delegated
to assist Coroner Hanly in his investiga-
tion, spent a great part of yesterday at the
ruins and made a report to Mr. Bedford.

He finds that the joists of the building,
which was every long one, lay lengthwise,
so that the strain fell on the front and ram
walls.

“If the joists had extended crosswise, in
the usual way,” said Colonel Townsend,
“the walls would have been supported by
those of the adjacent buildings. It is my
theory that either the motion of the presses
or an explosion of some sort displaced the
upright supports in the center of the
bull ing,‘ and the crash came as a neces-
sary consequence.”

he findings of the district attorney’s
o co will be brought to the attention 01
the grand jury.
Ali Eyewitness of the Disaster.

C. C. Shelley, proprietor of a printing
Establishment, who occupies the fourth
and fifth floors of the building adjoining
the Taylor building on the cast, in an in-
iprview with 'a reporter of the United

r as, said: “I was in my office when the
0 sh came, and eight of my employer

 

Vere Win-king at the case by windows di- ,

..fl

i-ectly overlooking the Taylor building.
As'soon as I heard the noise I started to-

'ward the sound, and not over 'five seconds

elapsed before I was in full view of the
catastrophe. , ' ‘_

“By the time I reached the window the
atmosphere high up above the building
was full of a dense, luminous fog, unlike
dust, but more like the vapor from a gas
or volatile oil, suddenly touched ofi, I
also hearda report similar to that of a. gun
before the walls toppled. In a few sec-
onds more flames shot up from the ruins,
accompanied by a smoke which follows
the sudden ignition of naphtha or benzlue.

I am satisfied that an explosion occurred, .

and the testimony of my employee to the
effect that the roof appeared to rise sev-
eral feet and then go down seems to cor-
roborate what I heard.

"I believe, in the first place, that the
building was weak and was overburdened
with weight. Several of the No. 9 Hoe
lithographic presses, which are twice as
heavy as ordinary printing presses,weighed
at least two tone each. ' Besides there were
a number of heavy German presses. Added
to the enormous dead weight of paper on
the upper floors, it only'needed something
to precipitate the fall of the buildin .
That somethin came with the teen t
above mentione .” -

A printer who was working near a win-
dow directl‘ back of the rear wall cor-
roborated r. Shelley’s statement re
garding the luminous fog. He states that
the first intimation he had was a report,
and then the top of the rear wall bulged
out and fell backwardyand not toward
the street. He' says that there is no doubt
but that the lower portion of the front
wall gave way first.

To Bury‘the Unidentified Dead.

The mayor has authorized the commis-
sioners of charities to secure a suitable
plot in some cemetery to decently inter
all the unidentified bodies that have
been taken from under the vast ruins.
Thqe are now twenty-three of them at
the morgue that must be buried by Fri-
day, owing to their advanced stage;of de-
composition. ,

The mayor also appointed acommittee
of prominent citizens to receive subscrip-
tions for the victims of the disaster. Rep-
resentatives of all the daily newspapers
have been appointed on the committee.
SENATOR EDDIUNDS’ SUCCESSOB.
Governor Page Notifies Secretary of War

Proctor That He Is the Man.

MONTPELIER, Vt., Aug. 27.—Governor
Carroll S. Page has notified the Hon. Red-
field Proctor that he has decided to ap-
point him United States senator to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
George F. Edmunds. This action on the
governor’s part has been expected.

In his letter to Secretary Proctor, Gov-
ernor Page says: “I have, with consider-
able care, sought and received personally
and by‘Jettei-‘the views of prominent- Ver-
monters in every county of the state. The
resultof my investigation leaves no doubt
as to my oflicial duty. If, therefore, on
the 1st day of November next it should
be incumbent on me toIfill the vacancy re-
feyetfitggli propose totender you the ap-
iiolutfii ltiiiFliiform aim of my decision
at this time not only because I believe you
should have reasonable notice of my inten-
tion, but having reached the conclusion
above, I cannot see that the public good
would be ‘subserved by further discus
sion.”

’Twill Be a Cloud Pier-cor.

CHICAGO,“Aug. 27.—-Negotiations for the
location of the proposed Odd Fellows?
temple are nearly completed. The temple
will not only be the tallest structure in
the world, but it will also be the biggest
in other respects. It is to be a building
that will eclipse anything ever before at
tempted in either the classical or modern
age in the architectural line. Over $4, 000,
000 will bé its cost. It is to have a main
frontage of 225 feet, and its central portion
will rise to an eminence of 556 feet, which
is one' foot higher than the Washington
monument and fifty-five feet higher than
the spire of the great cathedral in Cologne.
This central portion will have thirty-four
stories and thus be twelve stories higher
than the Masonic temple.

President Polk May Fight a Duel.
RALEIGH, Aug. 27.—'l‘he attempt of
President Polk at the Alliance state con-
ventiOn last week to have a resolution
adopted boycotting The News and Ob-
server of this city so angered its editors
that they have denounced Polk during
the last Week in the most insulting terms.
Polk has been advised by his friends that
the action of the editors has reached a
point where he must t, and he will
probably issue a challenge on his return
to the city. J. L. Ramsay, Polk’s assist-
ant editor, has also been denounced. It is
said that he will send a challenge as soon

as he returns from Statesvllle. '

wife and daughter across the track of

struck by a train. Mrs. Campbell was ter-
ribly bruised and is fatally injured. Miss

Plain Why He Committed Suicide.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.—The auditors of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul com-
pany, in examining the books of George
J. Osborne, the elevator superintendent
who committed suicide, have . already
found a. shortage of 815,000111 one lump.
The general belief is the defalcatious will
reach $100,000 if not more. Osborne, it is
said, wasaddicted to fare, and the amount
of his losses reached thousandsof dollars.

posal. When his client is possessed of
limited means the undertaking is not so
easy. The advice I give in the latter case
is to avoid useless ornament and unneces-
ear-y breaks or projections in the arrange-
ment of the plans. “Keep your arrange-
ment of rooms within four walls,” is the
saying of an experienced builder, if you
would build cheaply. I do not mean that
the design in Order to be built cheaply
should look like a box. Far from it. A
plan inclosed within ”four walls” may be
made attractive under the direction of a
skillful designer.

 

 

SIDE ELEVATION.

The design here shown is suitable for a
small family of moderate means, and is
arranged so it can be erected on a lot
25 feet in width, leaving a passage 3 feet
wide on one side. The first story contains
a. staircase, hall, parlor, dining room and
kitchen, with a. closet of sufficient size to
be used for a pantry. A veranda 6% feet
wide extends across the front, and a small
porch protects the outside kitchen door.
The cellar is 6% feet in height, with a con-
crete floor and an 8—inch brick wall.

Outside steps are covered with hatchway
doors, with the usual plank stairway in-
closed by a door at the under the main

story contains one larger chamber in front,
and one small bedroom, with a. chamber
and bedroom in the rear and four closets,
with a stairway to the attic, which, with
the exception of the floor, is left unfinished.

The house has a balloon frame, with out-
side studding.

The kitchen is provided with a. portable
range, with a water back and a sink of
galvanized iron. The exterior of the house
is painted in two coats with ready mixed
paints. The roofs are red; shingles on the
sides of the building light drab color. The
whole of the lower story and trimmings
are of dark drab; sash red. The cost of
this building is about 82,000. If a bath-
