A Five Story Structure In NewYork Goes Down With a Crash. NOBODY IN IT AT THE TIME. Fire Broke Out -In the Ruins at Once. More Than $150,000 Worth of Groceries ‘ Spoiled—The Neighbors Thought It \Vas an Earthquake. NEW YORK, May 1.—Wlth a heavy crash the five story building 38 and 40 North Moore street, which runs clear through the block to 156 Franklin street, collapsed today. The upper floor gave way beneath a weight of grocers’ stock, and tons of boxed canned goods, crashing through the lower fioors, carried all before them. In one great jumbled mass there was piled the $150, 000 worth of stock, sur- rounded on all sides by tumbling and tot- tering walls. The great heap then caught fire, and for many hours the thick black smoke, with only here and there a glare of flame, poured from the ruins. The building has only been occupied since Friday by J. H. Mohlman &. 00., Wholesale grocers. Before that it was va- cant for three years, since the dry goods house of Henry Heide moved from it. On the North Moore street side the build- ing was a double one, 50 feet front, and ran back 100 feet to the center of the block. From that point, abutting it, sep- arated only by a party wall, there was the other section of the building, fronting on Franklin street. This latter part of the building had only a frontage of 25 feet. The side Walls of the two buildings are 16 inches. The front walls, on both streets, are nine inches. It was a structure put up in the usual way, the side walls erected first, with the inside framework mortised - into them. Fell Without Warning. The crash came without the slightest warning. The ground shock and other buildings appeared to rock. In the few private dwellings in that business locality, ‘people sprang from their beds in a belief there had been an earthquake. In a row of tenements directly across the street, on the North Moore street side, dozens Of per- sons looked from the windOWS with fright- ened faces, to be met with a cloud of dust, to hear the groaning or breaking of tim-. hers and the crash of falling walls. To add to the excitement, it was pitch dark, with rain falling heavily. The first man who seems to have recov— ered from the suddenness of the shock was Daniel A. Hart, a probationary pa- trolman of the Charles Street station. He lives in one of the tenements. He rushed from the house. In the street, to the very door from which he ran, the great pile of ruins had fallen. He clambered over this and without waiting to guess what had happened was away to the house of Engine 27, in Franklin street. In five minutes a dozen firemen were on the scene. By degrees Chief Bonner found what had occurred. First he assured himself that there had been no one in the building when it fell. In the day there are 50 cm- ployees there, but at night no one is in the place, not even the watchman. How the Accident Occurred. It must have been the fourth ‘fioor that gave way first, the chief said. It was stored with canned goods in boxes. With it this floor dragged the fifth floor and the roof and crashed through the third. second and first floors, with their contents of heavy- groceries, piling up from the basement and bulging into the street. The party wall at the rear of the North Moore street build- ing also fell, carrying the rear portion of the floors to the Franklin street building, and crashing into a glass roofed extension in the rear of the Vulcan Match company, 158 Franklin street. The fire must have started in the Frank-- lin street end, just after the other section of the building fell. There were matches. stored there, and it is believed the awful jar started them burning and set the wreck—afire. All that was left of the two buildings when the firemen started their work was a portion of the Franklin street end. But even there the firemen dare not enter, but were forced to keep far from the rocking walls, which threatened to collapse at any moment. ' The insurance companies say, as the fire came last, they are not liable, and that not a dollar of insurance can be collected. They are not liable for the collapse of a building, as none of their policies covers that. On the Franklin street side of the fallen building, on the east, is the building of Eisner & Mendelsohn. They suffer loss by water. On the west side is the five story building of the Vulcan Match com- pany. Their loss will be $2,000. To the nearby buildings on the North Moore street side slight loss will be sustained by the Tousey Publishing house. ‘ Preparing For the Postal Congress.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afliicted with rheumatism in my back all last Winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but'was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving an relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 15 Pam Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have smeerecommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.

UUPID’S TRIPLE TRIUMPH.- The Dowager Duchess of Marlborough, - Given Away by Her Second Husband’s Son, Becomes Lady . Beresford. Ex-Mayor Grant Married. LONDON, May 1.—-At the fashionable St. George’s church, Hanover square, at 1 O’clock this afternoon, the Duchess Of Marlborough, formerly“ Mrs. Louis Ham- ersley of New Yo'rkf ‘was married to Lord William Beresford, formerly colonel Of the Ninth Lancers, who gained the most coveted of all military decorations in Great Britain, the Victoria cross, by rid- ing back into the thick of the fight atthe battle of Ulundi to rescue a lancer, whom he placed across his saddle and then out his way out to safety. In spite of the statements that the Beres- ford-Marlborough wedding was to be a quiet ceremony, it was the smartest event seen in London for a long time past. For hours previous to the time‘fixed for the ceremony the vicinity of St. George’s church was packed with dense crowds of people and the whole of Hanover square Was filled with lines of carriages, making it extremely difi‘icult for the police to keep a thoroughfare clear to the church. The church was crowded with royalty, members Of the diplomatic corps, repre- sentatives of the various colonies, governors of difierent colonial possessions, officers of the' army and navy, and members of the elite of American and English society of London and elsewhere. ' An Enormous Crowd. The steps of the church were covered , with red cloth and were lined by an eager“! crowd of people, who scanned the arrivals with the greatest of interest. commenting upon their personality and appearance. Many of those who held cards Of admis- : sion were unable to obtain entrance on ac— ; count of the throngs assembled. Long be- fore the ceremony, St. George’s church was packed, and during the ceremony the interior of the sacred building presented *1 SN“ t ( 1 -« it 1N1“: \. .. at)» I a TIIE DOWAGER DUCHESS 0F MARLBOROUGH. about as brilliant a picture Of a fashiona- ble assemblage as it is possible‘to imagine. Rows of waving palms gave a bright and refreshing appearance to the altar rails and choir, and these rowsof palms were sur- rounded with banks of white lilies. In every row Of seats from the front, where ' United States Embassador Thomas F. Bay- ard and Mrs. Bayard and the Duke of Cambridge occupied the two most promi- nent places, to the back row of pews and to the galleries there was a brilliant mass Of color formed by the rich satins and silks Of the ladies’ costumes. This the policemen succeeded in doing, and the American duchess, as the dowa- ger Duchess of Marlborough is known, lockin g exceedingly handsome. in her bridal costume, entered the church leaning on the arm of her stepson, the young Duke of Marlborough. At the Altar. Upon reaching the door they were met by the clergy and choir, who preceded the procession up the carpeted and flower decked aisle to the altar. The bride was dressed in a dove gray coat and skirt Of brocaded satin. with white lace waistcoat and cuffs with dia- mond buttons, a white bonnet with gray chiflons and a magnificent white veil. As the principals took up their positions, first Lord Marcus Beresford, the best man, on the right, and then the bride and bride- groom in the center and the Duke of Marl- borough on the left, the choir sang a bridal hymn, and the service commenced. The Rev. James Edgar Sheppard, honor- ary chaplain-to the queen and subdean of the chapels royal, officiated, assisted by the Rev. David- Anderson, rector of St. George’s church. ’The responses of the bride and bride- groom were .indistinct. The service was fully choral and occupied half an hour. At its conclusion the party went to the vestry, where the bride and groom were congrat- ulated by crowds of friends. Ex-Mayor Grant Married. WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 1.——Ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New York was married today to Julia Murphy, daughter of Sen- ator Edward Murphy. Archbishop Corri- gan performed the ceremony.
