MORE BODIES FOUND.

Three Corpses Taken Front Collapsed
Building In New York.
OTHERS ARE IN THE RUINS.
Terrible Scenes About ,the ‘Vreck—The
Responsibility For the Disaster Can-
not Do Fixed Until the Debris
Is Cleared Away.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-—The work of dig-
ging for bodies in the ruins of the build-
lng on West Broadway, at Third street,
which collapsed yesterday, was continued
all last night and today, and as it pro-
gressed evidence was furnished that most
of the men whose names are in the list of
missing probably lost their lives, especial-
ly as none of them has been accounted for.
Three more bodies were recovered today.
St. Vincent hospital reported that all
the injured received there were discharged.
The New York hospital doctors said Wil-
liam Fox will die. Cornelius GEuider, in
the same hospital, was discharged during
the day.
TWO names were added to the missing
list, though doubtfully, by the report of
relatives and friends, who thought the
men werc'employed in the building. They
are Michael Flynn, a plasterer of 73
Third avenue, Brooklyn, and Jerry Col-
lins of Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn.
It was late before the workmen could go
about the ruins with any degree of safety.
Ton after ten of the debris was removed
by the shovelful, but no bodies were found
for several hours. The work was done in
a systematic way, being begun at the huge
pile at the front of the building facing
West Third street. Many clots of blood
were noticed, indicating that the men sup-
posed to be buried in the ruins were kill-
cd before they reached the cellar. The con-
tractor, Mr. Galligan, said that, judging
from the aspect of things, it would be at
least several days before the debris was
all turned over.
‘ In the crowd that watched the work
were friends and relatives of the missing
men, and their anxiety was pitiful. Every
Sew minutes a rumor was circulated that
another body had been found, and a rush
would be made toward the building, which
the police had to check by force. It was
not until 5:30 o’clock that the workmen
found anything significant besides the
blood.
A Ghastly Find.
At that time two men turned over a
piece of iron which had been bent out of
all shape and noticed that it was stained
with blood. Near it was a shoe covering
a human foot severed below the ankle.
Close by was another shoe, the mate to
the one incasing the foot. When the body
of Charles Peterson wastakcn from the
ruins last night, one foot, the right one,
was discovered to have been torn from the
body and the other 'foot was bare. The
foot found was undoubtedly his. It is
supposed that when he fell he was struck
on the log by the twisted piece of iron,
which tore his feet off.
It was nearly 7 o’clock when some other
workmen came upon the legs of a man
sticking out from under a pile of .brick.
The work was concentrated On this spot,
but half an hour was required before the
body was uncovered and lifted to the sur-
face. It was horribly mangled, and the
face was so out and swollen that it seemed
beyond recognition. Several friends and
relatives of the missing men looked at the
body, but none of them could identify it.
The man had evidently been a plasterer.
He wore white overalls, which were spat-
tercd with plaster, and gray underwear.
Most of the bodies are believed to lie
near the center of the building, where the
men were at work when the crash came.
It is believed that there are at least ten
more bodies in the ruins. The work of
excavation will be continued without a
moment’s intermiSsion until it is complet-
ed. There will be a day gang and a night
sang ‘
\Vhat Caused the Collapse.
N 0t until the foundation has been reach-
ed by the excavators will it be possible to
explain the disaster and fix the blame for
it upon the guilty persons. A Weakness
in the foundations would alone account
for the collapse. »
It was observed that the next standing
pillar sags, and though this may be decep-
tive as viewed from the street it was no-
ticed by several builders on the scene to-
day, who declared sinking could have been
due only to a weakness beneath it and not
to the fall of girders which rested on it.
The building was not a skeleton frame.
Each iron pillar carried its own weight
and supported all above and about it.
None of them got help from around it, ex-
cept in- bracing it erect. If this apparent-
ly sunken pillar is found to be really so,
the fall of its neighbor would be compre-
hensible without any theory of defective
iron work.
, In this connection the statement of a
neighbor, William Ockerton, is significant.
He owns 53 West Third street, where he
has an oyster saloon. He says that “when
they were laying the foundation they
built on frozen cement, and it began crack-
ing. Then they came to me for permis-
sion to put iron girders in my collar for
the purpose of bracing the center of their
building.” He demanded more than the
contractors were willing to pay and says
they went on without the additional sup-
port they knew to be needed.
The natural weakness of the building
around the elevator shaft and the over-
loading of the adjacent floors with mortar
would then only furnish the secondary
cause of the accident and would not take
the blame for it. It would explain also,
however, why the second sunken part did
not give way entirely. The extra. weight
over the fallen part started it, but the oth-
er, still standing, was unmoved except by
igs own Weight and the weakness beneath

JUSTICE JACKSON’S DEATH.=
Already the Question of His Successor Is
Discussed In ‘Vashington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The death of
Justice Jackson of the supreme court of
the United States has caused much sor-
row here, where he was a great social
favorite. Already, however, the question
of the appointment of his successor is dis-
cussed.
When Justicc Jackson was so seriously
111 last spring that he was not expected to
recover, the name of his successor was
considerably speculated in. The idea was
suggested by Some that the president
would again name Mr. Peckham or Mr.
_ Hornblower of New York, while the selec-
tion of a man from the west fell to Don
Dickinson: Postmaster General Wilson
was strongly spoken of as among the pos-
sibilities, while the majority of opinion
was that Secretary. Carlisle could have the
place if he wanted it. Mr. Carlisle would
be especially eligible, as he would be ap-
pointed from the same district that the
cant.
Howell Edmunds Jackson was born in
Paris, Tenn, April 8, 1832, so that he was
in his sixty-third year at the time of his
death. Justice Jackson was a classical
scholar, graduating from the. West Ten-
nessee college in 1818. He studied law
two years at the University of Virginia,
and in Jackson, under his kinsmcn,
Judges A. W. O. Totten and Milton
Brown; graduated fromthe Lebanon Law
school in 1856, in which year he located in
Jackson and engaged in the practice of
his profession; removed to Memphis in
1859, where‘ he continued the practice of
the law; Served on the supreme bench by
appointment on two occasions and was
once a prominent candidate for supremo
judge before the nominating convention.
He again located in Jackson in 1876; was
elected to the state house of representa-
tives in 1880 on the state credit platform;
was elected to the United States senate as a.
Democrat in 1881 and served till April 172-,
18815; was appointed United States circuit
judge by President Cleveland and nomi—
nated for associate justice by President
Harrison; was confirmed by the senate
Feb. 18, 18933, and entered upon the duties
of the oliice March 4, 18953.
THE “BAD s01?" AGAIN.
The Case Against, “’illialn Henry Post-
poned Until llIonday.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—’l‘he argument
on the return of the writ of habeas corpus
in the case of William S. Henry, the “bud
son, ” who was held on the charge of mur-
dering his father, the miser, Charles W.
Henry of Brooklyn, was adjourn.~d today
by J ustice Gaynor in the supreme court,
Brooklyn, until Monday, at the instance
of Foster L. Backus, attorney for Henry.
The writ was originally made return-
able for Monday last. It was adjourned
until today because the police court ste-
nographer had not prepared the minutes
of the preliminary hearing. They were
not ready this morning. and Mr. Backus
said he feared it would be necessary to
again adjourn the hearing until Monday.
Mr. Backus says that he bases his claim
for Henry’s discharge on the ground that
there has been no legal compliance with
the statute covering such cases. He says
Henry was arrested without sufficient
proof of his having committed the crime
and held by Police Just-ice Haggorty for
the grand jury on evidence totally insuffi-
cient to make such a probable cause as to
warrant such a proceeding from a legal
and judicial standpoint.
District- Attorncy Ridgway made no op-
position to the :uljournmcnt this time.
iHis 013100 Was not represented in court.
~ Henry was in court, as was his brother
Walter, the “good son.” William was
neatly dressed. He chatted with Mr.
Backus and was the center of attraction.
He said he was getting along nicely in the
jail—as Well as could be expected.
IIIany Accidents In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.—A wagon
driven by William Hasson’ was struck by
a Pennsylvania railroad locomotive. Has-
son was instantly killed. Edward Miskcll
and John Hasson were seriously injured
internally. Martin Ervin, while crossing
the track of the Baltimore and Ohio rail—
road, was struck by a locomotive and in-
*stantly killed. William H. Stanley, (5
years, was ground to pieces under the
wheels of a rapidly moving trolley car in
West Philadelphia.
Colorado Railroad Extension.
DENVER, Aug. 10.—Thc Rocky Moun-
tain News today says: While it has not
been announced officially, it‘ nevertheless
is a fact that the Burlington and Missouri
River railroad is to be extended to the
coalfields at Louisville, Colo. The engi-
neers are already in the field making sur-
veys, and it is expected that the new
branch will be ready for business by the
lst of October.

TRADE STILL LIVELY.
Indications Are Particularly Encour-
aging For Midsummer.
NO SIGNS OF REACTION YET.
The Bond Syndicate Could Arrest the Ex-
portation of Gold if It Pleased—Cot-
ton's Slight Advance—The Fall-
ures For the Week.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—R. G. Dun &
Co’s weekly review of trade says: Busi-
ness continues unusually active for mid-
:ummer, and though there is perceptible
relaxation there are no signs of reaction.
The one change of great importance which
3110 past week has brought is eminently
helpful—the amicable settlement between
coal miners and employers in western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It is
said that about 100,000 men will have
their wages increased after Oct. 1 by this
adjustment, and while the enlargement
of purchasing power is of consequence it
seems even more important that a chronic
cause of controversy has been removed by
the new agreement as to company stores.
There is no important change in crop pros-
pects, and at this time no news is emi-
nently good news. The corn crop is rap-
idly approaching maturity without harm.
Tho prospect as to cotton, if not quite as
satisfactory as it was a month ago, has
not materially altered for the worse, and
the later news about wheat is fairly fa<
vorablo. Taken altogether the crops of the
your promise so much better than was ex-
pected a month ago that the effect is
highly encouraging, although the other
crops, except corn, will not be full.
The outgo of gold continues and excites
some comment, because it. is felt that the
bond syndicate could arrest the movement
at once if it pleased by reducing the rate
of exchange. But it is quite generally be-
lieved that a return of part of the bonds
originally taken for Europe is one cause
of gold exports, and although the inter.
national bankers have been negotiating
other American securities in large amount
the shipments of domestic products are
likely to be much delayed and smaller
than usual. Interior movements are not
of much significance, and there is less
disturbance than usually attends prepara-
tions for moving the crops. The demand
for commercial loans is still comparative-
ly narrow for the season.
Cotton’s ~Slight Rise.
Speculation has been more successful in
cotton than in any other product during
the past week and has lifted the price an
eighth, although it cannot be said that
the prospect as to yield has definitely
changed. Some injury has evidently been
sustained from excessive rains, and the
government report commands a little more
attention. Wheat has declined a fraction
with very scanty transactions, the ex-
tremely small western receipts influencing
the market for the present more than the
restricted exports. Corn tends to lower
prices with more encouraging prospects,
and the expectation of a heavy corn crop
affect-s prices of provisions, as might be
expected. ‘
The industries continue to make prog-
ress, and higher prices for iron and steel
products prove that the supply has not yet
outrun the demand. Bessemer iron is a
shade weaker, but Grey Forge has ad-
vanced about (30 cents, and finished prod-
ucts are remarkably firm, with further ad.
vancc in steel beams to 1.0 and in angles
to 1.5 cents and in bar iron to 1.3 cents.
The Carnegie works at Homestead broke
the record by turning out in July 43,000
tons steel, of which 17,150 were of beams.
The contract for the Standard Oil build-
ing has been placed, calling for 4,000 tons,
and at the west there are large orders
given for new freight cars, the Chicago
and Northwestern alone ordering 1,500.
There is as yet no great demand for rails,
and it seems not improbable that'in this
direction the market will lack support for-
somc months to come. Lake copper has
advanced to 12 cents, which has checked
transactions, though some sales at second-
hand arc reported at 11.87 cents. Tin has
also declined about a quarter of a cent
and is quoted at 14.20, though 14.15 cents
is said to have been accepted in one trans—
action. Lead is a. trifle stronger at 3.55
cents. The anthracite coal market is com-
plctely dcmcralizcd, and prices have again '
yielded a little to about the lowest ever
known.
The “fool Sales.
Sales of wool are not as much inflated
by speculation as they were during the
first half of July, but they still consider-
ably excecd the actual consumption in the
manufacture, amounting at the three
chief markets to 6,259, 800 pounds against
9,271,700 pounds for the corresponding
week in 1892-. Prices are very firm, and
holders who bought enormous quantities
a month ago in expectation of a rise ap-
pear to be looking for a further advance.
But woolen goods Show signs of weaken~
ing, and there is much complaint of for-
eign competition and undervaluations,
especially in medium and lower quali-
ties, while in worsteds the tendency of
prices is upWard. Some staple cotton
goods have again advanced in'price, and
the market is unusually strong for the
season. »
The stock market has been weaker, and
the average for railroad stocks has de-
clined 28 cents per share, while the aver-
age for trust stocks has fallen only 5
cents per share. The earnings of railroads
for July thus far reported show an in-
crease of 17.2 per cent over last year, but
are 10.9 per cent smaller than in 1892.
Failures for the week were 225 in the
United States against 264 last year, and 43
in Canada against 54 last year.
