WA SHINGTON, June 10. —Another tragedy
-—less national in character. but involving
the loss of many more lives and much
more human suffering, has stained the
walls of the old Ford theater,Washington,
where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated
by J. W'ilkcs Booth in April, 1865. It is a
coincidence also, which will not escape at-
tention, that this second tragedy occurred
on the very day when the remains of the
great tragedian,whose life was so darkened
by his brother’s crime that he never visited
“’ashington afterwards, were being laid
to rest in Mount Auburn cemetery.
The house in which Lincoln died on the
other side of the street from the theater
where he was shot, and which is still sen-
timentally kept intact, as it was that fatal
night looked down yesterday upon a scene
of agony, excitement and grief which even
the great crime of 1865 could not parallel.
And the, horrors of the scene were by no
means lessened by the knowledge that a
blunder, surely in this case almost “worse
ban a crime,” had caused the death of
more than twenty persons, and inflicted
maimings and injuries upon fifty or sixty
more.
The evidence as found in official records
appear conclusive that as long ago as 1885
this building, which the government pur-
chased aftcr the assassination and used as
an army museumnvas officially proclaimed
by congress an unsafe depository for even
the inanimate skeletons, mummies and
books of the army national museum, for
which a safer place of storage was provided
by ac of congress. But notwithstanding
the fact that in the public press and in con-
gress also continued attention was called
to the bulging walls of the building and
its darkness and general unreliability and
insecurity, it continued to be used for the
offices of 500 government clerks of the pen-
sion record division of the war office.
With a refinement of discrimination,
however, between what could be replaced
and what could not be so easily supplied,
while the clerks were trusted in the un-
safe building, the original records were re-
tained in the substantial fireproof war
department building. So the comforting
official assurance is given that while
many clerks have been killed, the pension
records are all safe and uninjured.
The building collapsed in the midst of
an ill judged effort to remedy some of its
defects. The moral of the disaster, if
there is any, is emphasized by the fact
that there are known to be at least two
great government buildings—the pfintiiig
office and the “finder building annex of
the war department—each containing more
cmployes than were caged in the Ford’s
theater death trap, which are in an equally
dangerous condition.
The hour of the disaster was very shortly
after the departments had settled down
‘ for business. The workmen whose opera.-
tions under the building were the imme-
diate cause of the catastrophe, had been
tinkering upon it for two hours or more.
Half an hour earlier and few lives would
have been lost.
WITHOUT A MOMENTS WARNING.
Fortunately Only the Forward Half of
the Floors Gave, “fay.
There were 75 persons, mostly govern-
ment clerks, employed in the building,
and nearly all-of these were at work when
the building fell. An excavation for an
electric light plant was being made in the
the cellar Of- the structure—a three story
affair—and according to the best informa—
tion obtainable the workmen had dug be-
neath the foundation supports in the front
of the building, weakening them to such
an exté‘nt that the walls gave way before
they could be jacked. This explanation
of the cause for the accident is the only
one advanced, but it seems somewhat
strange in View of the fact that the 'top
floor gave way first.
Men who. were in the building say the
crash come without warning. Those on
the top floor were suddenly precipitated to
the floor below, and the weight of falling
timbers and furniture carried the second
and first floors with it. Fortunately only
the forward half of the floors gave way.
The outer edges of the floors and the rear
part of the structure remained intact. The
wallsdid not fall. ‘
Within an hour the news was known all
over Washington. and hundreds of anx-
ious relatives and friends swarmed to the
nonfat-.9t....the.___01d theater. Women ap-

pealed anxiously; to every. bystander fer
information a want some particular person,
while men came with tears in their eyes
and imploringly besought the policemen
to let them through the police lines that
they might obtain some knowledge of their .
friends and relatives.
A general fire alarm wasvturned in, a
few minutes after the crash, and then all.
the ambulances in the city were sum-
moned. As quickly as possible the police
and firemen formed a rescue brigade. and
ready hands assisted‘them to take out the
killed and wounded. In less than an hour
about twenty-five people had been taken
and every few minutes thereafter some
still form would be borne on a stretcher
from the building. Police and army am—
bulances, cabs, carriages and vehicles of
every description we‘re pressed into serv-
ice for taking away the dead and injured.
All the hospitals in the city were utilized
in caring for the injured, and scores of
physicians volunteered their assistance.
\Vhen the first rumbling warning of the
approaching collapse came the clerks on
the third floor, to the number of eighty or
a- hundred, rushed to the windows and
jumped for the roof of a small building
adjoining on the northwest side. Many of '
them escaped in this way.
George M. Arnold, a colored clerk ap-
pointed from Virginia, was seen at athird
story window. He was warned not to
jump, but despite the protestations of
numbers of people he climbed out and,
lowering himself from the sill, let go. He,
fell upon a. covering at a lowor door and
slid off into the cobble stoned alley, strik-
ing on his head, instantly killing him. His
head was mashed to a jelly, and the cob-
bles for a distance of several yards were
bespattered with blood. ’
cause on THE hisas'rnn.
Doubt-less the Result of Excavating With-
out Proper Underpinning.’
There is no doubt but that the primary
cause of the disaster was some excavating
that was being done under the from: wall.
A sub-cellar was being dug to give ~more
room and at the same time afford a means
of ventilation. In order that this should
be accomplished there was considerable
underpinning.— The contractor for this
work was Mr. George Dant, while the dig-
ging in connection with the job was being
done by Mr. P. R. Pullman.
Mr. Pullman appeared at the scene
shortly after the accident and said that he
could not explain why the floors should
have caved in. “The work in the cellar,”
he said, “was about completed, and it was
only yesterday that Iwas looking at it. I was
congratulating myself that the work was
almost at an end and that the danger was
passed. The crash commenced on the third
floor, so that the underpinning could not
have been the cause. The work was most
carefully done, and only a few bricks were
taken out at a time.”
The fact that the collapse occurred
through the girders being pulled out of
their places in the front wall towards the
centre is established in a remarkable man-
ner by unimpeachable testimony. Against
the front wall of each floor hung an office
clock. All these clocks were uninjured,
and now remain there keeping time,though
every piece of flooring is in the bottom of
the demolished structure.
From Colonel Ainsworth, chief of the
record and pension division, it was learned
that there was no storage on the floors,
and the only weight was in the desks and
clerks employed there. He said that the
underpinning was not being done to
strengthen the building, as it had never
been intimated that it was in any way in-
secure. He was unable to suggest any
reason for the disaster.
Chief Parris, of the fire department, had
not had an opportunity to make even a
superficial examination of the building,
and said that from a glance he could say
that the girders which supported the floors
must have weakened.
Building Inspector Entwiste, with two
of his assistants, was on hand shortly af-
ter the cavein occurred. The cause of the
whole affair, he said, “was undoubtedly
due to the underpinning. The workmen
dug under the heavy upright columns
which support the building, and the col-
‘lapse followed.”
Mr. William Funk, of Funk &. Funk,
contractors and builders, said he thought
the wreck was caused by the faulty man-
ner in which the work of underpinning
seemed to have been conducted.
Mr. Baier said the building had been no-
toriously unsafe for along time, and he
stated that it had been three times con-
demned. He said the rear “wall of the
building had been bowed for a long time.
THE GO)’ERNMENT ABRAIGNED.
Officials Charged with Indirect Respon-
sibility for the Catastrophe.
The meeting of citizens held in the after-
noon to put into operation measures for
the relief of the victims of the catastroph e
in its results was a striking tribute to the
power of the press. It was called to order
by Commissioner Ross, and Commander
Parker was chosen to preside. Wit-h but
little preliminary the purpose of the gath-
ering was achieved in the appointment of
a. committee of five to canvass the meeting
for subscriptions. While this was being
60::3 trier addresses were made by B. H.
\Varner, Rev.‘ \Villiam Aloin Bartlett,
Smith Thompson, a clerk employed in the
collapsed building, and Bishop J. F. Hurst.
Dr. Bartlett’s ringing arraignment of
the government for its moral responsi-
bility for the calamity met the warm com-
mendation of the gathering. He said the
chief officers ought in some way to get to-
gether and provide the means which shall
secure to the suffering ones that care and
support, which niggardly policy had made
necessary and “not saddle a single dollar
upon this long suffering community.”
Mr. Thompson’s speech was largely de-
voted to abuse of Colonel Ainsworth, chief
of the record and pension division, whom
he charged with being the direct active
cause of the casualty. He said largemfine,
airy rooms in the war department build-
ing were sacred to the storing of inanimate
rolls and records, while Ford’s theater, 3.
building utterly unfit for clerical uses,
was crowded with clerks, many of whose
lives had been sacrificed by this one man’s
dictum. The theater had been a. perfect
hell on earth, he said. No military prison
or jail was comparable to it in disagree-
able features, while the insecurity of the
structure was notorious, it having been
condemned no less than three times. Mr.
Thompson stated that, although 72 years
of age, he had been providential’ly cu-
abled to make a successful escape from
the second story of the building byvmeaus
of a. ladder.
The total amount of the subscriptions
obtained was announced as about $5,500.
President Cleveland, who had been asked
to preside over the meeting, was unable to
do so because of a pressing official business
engagement, sent his check for $100 and
Secretary Thurber his for $25. ' ‘
The commit-tee of five which canvassed
the meeting, however, was continued as a
disbursing organization With. Mrs. W.
\Voodward as treasurer. They will make
allotments of money subscribed, and re-
port thI'Oth‘the-papers when their work
has been completed. It was stated at the
219.61.511.18 that the families 9.! those who
had been kil’led‘in the wreck'wcre‘ ' at? left ’
practically .unprovided. for.
Lis'r on- THE VICTIMS. 3, _
TW‘l'lty-fo'ur Dead Bodies Recovered, and
Half a Hundred Injured.
The following list of dead, with the
names of states from which they were ap-
pointed, contains twenty-three names. in-
cluding one unknown, but twenty-four
bodies have been recovered. The list of
dead follows: Unknown man, evidently a
clerk; George I. Allo (Pa), GeOrge W. Ar-
nold (Va), L. W. Boody (N. Y.), Samuel
P. Banes (Pa), John Bussius (D. 0.), J.
E. hapin (S. 0.), Jeremiah Daley
(Pa), James R. Fagau (Kan), Joseph B.
Cage (Mich), David C. Jordan (Mo.), M.
M. Jarvis (Mich), B'oyd J. Jones (Wis),
F. B. Loftus (N. Y.), B. F. Miller (N. Y.),
Howard S. Miller (0.), J. H. McFall (Wis),
E. G. Shull (Kan), William Schriever
(Md), F. M. Williams (Wis.), Dr. Nelson,
F. W. Maeder and H. S. Wood.
H; S. Miller is reported killed, but it is
probable that the name is meant for C. R.
Miller who was supposed to have been
killed,’ but will recover. The name of
Jordan and Paul have also been attached
to the unofficial death list as having been
taken out dead, but their bodies have not
been located. ' J ardon is probably a. dupli-
cation of the name of David C. Jordan, of
Missouri, who was killed, and Paul may
have been confused with McFall, also
killed. One man taken from the ruins
dead was identified by a bystander as “old
man” McCauley, who lives in Virginia,
but this identification was not verified, as
the death list does not contain his name.
Of the half hundred or more injured the
following are at the hospital, their condi—
tion at present being too bad to permit
of removal: F. \V. Test, seriously injured
about face and arms and fractured ribs;
Frank Metcalf, seriously shocked from
fall; A. S. Aimes, seriously injured about
the neck, face and ankles; Robert Smith,
fractured skull, operation necessary, Dr.
0. P. McCOi-mack, shocked by fall.

den’s balance on Aug. 4 was $172.75.
Governor Robinson made a skillful and
_ closed .the fact that other hatchets than
' the handleless hatchet were found in the.
7 box by the chimney, and that there were
piles of ashes in the room. The handleless-
hatchetiivas found on the. witness’ second;
visit to the cellar, on the day of the mur-
. der. Witness also admitted that the search-
in the house that day was not very
thorough. ‘ L _
Governor Robinson led Fleet into a. con-
the broken part of the:hatchet handle was:
covered with ashes like the blade. He also
where he found 'it; that it was not pro~
duced, at the preliminary hearing, and that-
he did not testify about it at that time be-~
cause he did not-think it was used for the-
murder. ~
Oflicer Harrington was called and testi-
fied that the prisoner said she left her
father reading a paper, and after twenty
minutes found him dead, and that she
said the motive was not robbery, as every
thing was right about the house. Witness
thought the prisoner wore a. light blue
dress with bosom and dark spot; not the
dress delivered to the government as the
one she wore. . .
On cross-exa mination Harrington con-
tradicted his former testimony to an in-
quiry of Lizzie, but afterwards admitted
that the former testimony was correct. He
repeated a detailed description of the pris-
oner’s dress, which caused amusement, and
the prisoner twice leaned her head on her
arm and laughed heartily for the first time
in the trial. Robinson also involved wit—
ness in a contradiction of former testimony
as to the condition of ' the barn door and
window. \Vitness contradicted Fleet as
to the place where one hatchet Was found.
The only matter of importance brought
out at the afternoon session was the fact
that the broken part of the handle of the
small hatchet which was missing was seen
by Officer »Mullaly, and the government
professed ignorance of the piece. Mullaly
said Fleet found it and put it back with
the hatchet. During Fleet’s testimony be
able surprise was felt and expressed. Fleet
was recalled and examined, although the
government objected. He said he never
saw anything there in the nature of a piece
of handle with a fresh break in'it. There
was a decided sensation in the court
as Fleet stepped from the stand.
