A GREAT DISASTER. FALL OP A THREES TORY BRICK BU1LDINU. Lives Saved by a Timely Wrilif The Dibits Takes Fire and Terror Added to the Scene The Incidents ol Yesterday's Destrncttve Accident. The large three story brick struc ture, occupied by Hammond & Juss tice, hardware merchants, on Trade street, two doors east of the Central Hotel, yesterday morning collapsed and tumbled to the earth with a shock that was felt for blocks around. ; The accident occurred at half-past nine o'clock in the forenoon, and was the most startling event that has been known in this city for many years, while the scene presented is without a parallel in the history ot Charlotte. It was a terrible catastrophe, involv ing the' loss of thousands of dollars of property, and, though no lives were lost, the espape of fifteen or twenty persons from , being buried , beneath the ruins was miraculous. Tfre fallen building had a frontage of thirty -five feet and was about one hundred and twenty feet deepand towered several feet above the adjoining three story house on the east, owned and occu pied by Mr. Wm. J. Yates, editor of the Home Democrat. It had a hand some, substantial front, and was re garded an one of the best buildings in the city. It was owned by Dr. John LL McAden, and was occupied on the first - and on a portion ;of the second floor by Hammond & Justice, hardware dealers. Gen. Thomas F. Drayton, insurance Agent, occupied a front room on the second floor, and several young men occupied rooms Quito tou-Soor. -At tho-time the crash came no one-was on either the second or third floors of the buildingand the first floor had been cleared by the timely note of warn. ing given Lby the tumbling of a portion of the rear side wall just be fore the collapse occurred. 'BOW IT GAMS TO FALL. The collapsed building ad joined the building of Schiff &Co., which, with the building of Mr. H. C. Eccles, oc eupied by Wm. Wilson & Co. and Beese & Co., druggists, was destroy ed by the fire of Saturday morning, February 81st. This fire left the wail cf the McAden building apparently uninjured, and arrangements were at once made by Messrs. Eccles and Schiff to rebuild. It was decided to excavate for a cellar under each of the new buildings and the work, was let out by contract to Mr. Will Ph fer. The cellar for Mr. Eccles' build ing, next to the Central,' had , been finished and the walls for the new structure built up -about eight feet above the surface leveL and the work has been progressing rapidly upen the excavation for the cellar to the Schiff building, Mr. Phifer's instruct tions being to cut the east wall of the cellar to within three feet of the foundation of the' McAden building. Thia was considered by many to be a rather dangerously small margin, but Mr. Phifer was working accord ing to contract, . and by. snndown Wednesday evening haa completed the excavation."- The dirt was cut away to exactly within three feet of the foundation of the west wall of the McAden building, and the brick, layers were notified that all was is readiness for tbem to commence work. Early yesterday morning they commenced laying brick in the cellar foundation of the new Schiff building, but the sound of their trow els rang out for but a brief, time. Mr. Phifer noticed that the wall in the ifrtiHon tiiiildincr. which towered seventy feet above the bricklayers had eracked, and he eb once warned them to get to a place of safety At this same moment the i. ' , H THREES FOOT BAKK OF DIRT - at the rear corner, 01 ine acaueu building was seen to slowly bulge out and then suddenly tumble into the newly excavated cellar, followed in stantly by ft tremendous section ol the rear ana eiue wan. - a wo prelude to the final erash, and well it was for many a . human life that it came .as - . -liny-wiw "v tumbling waCfl alarmed ail wno were in or about the store atthe time, but some did not seem to fully realize the dancer: Mr. HammoBO and bis corps of clerks were all.ffngaged m their various duties in the store, and Mr Justice, who had been out on the street,! was hastening in to warn them of the impending crash. ; Just as he reached the door, Mr. J. H, Wed dingtop; of Brown, .Weddiiigton & Co., who wan standing ;in hia door, direcUv ppc:ve; saw..th large side wall of the ; building wavering, and frantically called Out .-:t. f ayr OUT, IT'8 FAIXIHOJ" ' His Warning cry was beard and Mr. Justice.: Mr. Hammond, the clerks i and one of two , customers came rushiiigJU mf 'M1!0 ! and the i-rowu that had gathered at thefirtA Urm surgea dsgk irom building They were none too soon, for falhiig bricks covered up their footst4. "d the large structure came d5 wt to tb? WW VV a mighty crash.' VTbe walUfelUa ft fPd thetiuitoof camedown over the whole like aaMmroense tar paulu almost completely hiding the debris. The crash was terriflo and created a gen uine panio on the street, the first thought of aU being, o course, that someone was caught under the rums. A dense cloud of dust rolled heaven ward, aid hung over the ruins and is the streets bo densely- to envelop everything in JJt of the; frightened' crowds. Aside scores: on; the ODDoeite side of the street, the dust was so blinding that a cierK sianamg ra the middle or; the room could not see to the front door; but this sfetefcf .hings lasted but a tew mimitjes. I When tho dust cleared ' ' ; THtN VOLTJMB OF SMOKE I was seen risine from the ruins of th fallen building, and the alarm of fire was sounded. The entire fire depart ment mrneu out and nve streams I were soon playing on the ruins. The nre originated among the debris. near ine iron I ot me, store ana was caubed by r the overturning of a stove in theofliee that had been occupied by Gen. Dravton. " The firemen vera not long in getting the flames under control, but their work was an ex ceedingly difficult one, the fire beins: low Qown in the debris and protected by the roof which lay over- all, and turned the water. A rumor that there was a large quantity of dyna mite and powder in the wreckage be came eirculated and there was a f ally ing back of the. crowd to places ot safety, but the firemen stood their ground well. Thomas Garibaldi white, and Philo Reed, colored, dis tinguished themselves by , working on the roof, cutting holes, directly over wnere the dynamite and powder were supposed to be located. The firemen worked well and did a fine piece of business in confining the flames to a very small portion of the wrecty Alter the nre was out gen erai reuet was expressed Dy every-, body as the fact became known that . s HO LIVES WEBB LOST. ; It was at first feared that some onei might possibly not have been warned in time and had failed to escape from the building-, but before noon every in- aiviauai employed aDout tne build ing or having any connection with it whatever had beeu accounted for, and it was positively known that hot a life was lost. : There was general rejoicing over this fact. The charac ter of the wreck was such that had a human being been "Caught under it. even if not killed outright, he would have been suffocated by the Brooke and dust hours before a rescue would have, been possible.- j ... ' ;' THE MELTING WALLS7U',' ' When the rear and side wall of the hardware building tumbled ttQ, the grouna, n was attenaeq witn a noise: that drew hundreds of people to. the scene ; This was the first signal of aanger, ana on getting in sight o the building trs crwdaw that its south west end hd fallen out. The tower ing west wall remained apparently firm, and stood bo for the space of fully ten minutes. when it fell. It was this fortunate lapse of time that 'enabled everybody to escape the im pending aisaster.. watching the tall wall with an apprehensiveness that a calamity was near at hand, the exs cited multitude saw jt tremble, faint ly at first, but gradually growing more violent. Then an .undulation seemed to run the length of the wall, and it appeared to melt down into the ground. At the start not a brick toppled from its place, but the entire house came straight down, roof -and all, as if it had been put upon a prop and the prop suddenly knocked from under it. As the building came down it left exposed to view and standing perpendicularly, but badly cracked and strained, the west wall of the Yates building,' which had formed the dividing wall of the two struc tures, and a - rot SECOND CALAMITY WAS THREATENED. 1 The side- wall of the hardwarestore bulged slightly outward in falling, and the entire three floors dropped down, the sills being ' pulled' clear from their supports in the wall ol the Yates building. Everything came down as if smoothly cut from ; the east wall,, whose whitened sides shone up above the debris of the fallen store with vivid distinctness."; Clinging to the stripped wall were two mantles, with grates in the fire places. Near one mantle a hat rack hung unin jured to the wall,' and on the other mantlo stood two neatly framed pic tures. The top of this wall . had crumbled off, and along the front of the Yates building, next the corner where it . had joined the fallen struc ture, a big rent appeared, extending from the top to the second story win dow. The Yates building is three stories in front and two in the rear,' and the roof over the latter part was crushed in by the weight of brick that ad fallen upon it. The large wall from front to rear seemed to be ready to fall at any moment, and everybody anticipated a second calamity, for had this fallen,; the Yates : building would have come down in a heap the sai&e aa had the hardware store.. Up at the top corner of the third story hung a mass of 'brick wall encasing a window that had failed to come down with the tumbling house, and it was believed that when this came, down the wall of the Yates building would come with it. loafer in the day the threatened wall was braced, and a rope being attached to this overhang ing mass it was pulled out, and to the 1 relief, ot au the wan remained stand ing. This seemed to lessen the dan- ge, and competent judges gave the opinion that tts wall properly braced. may. stand if 1 ' WFT.r 1TP BY TRIE THTRRIft The 'wall is fifty feet high, and on the ; outside tbe debris from the fallen building is heaped against it up to the second floor: This serves as a solid support for -the wall,; and as long as it remains there can be no danger of. the - wall falling. It is learea, WWUgu. tnai wnen wis is re moved the wall may become danger oue, yet opinions are divided. - There are many, wno seem to oe oompotens to judge, who "say that though' the waif is cracked, it has a solid founda tion fcnd is but little injured. The wall will be thoroughly, braced, and will ysry hkely be saved; ; - tE8i?P8 the BUiLprag. : ,: The Tate building was occupied on the first floor : by Mr. - Qiohara Moore, dealer in 81076804 tinWarju and Greehara'&Dochina ware and crockery. Qa tbe second floor were the editorial and printing room of the Charlotte Home Democrat, and the Sewing machine rooms of CJoh Cbas. Bradshaw The third floor Was occupied by the North State Club, the rooms having recently been fitted up id handsome styie. It being found that ; there might possibly, be some danger in remaining in the building, the occupants at once commenced moving out.- A long line of drays were quickly preed into service by Mr, Vloore, and within five hours his stock of . goods were transported to the old store room of Moyer & Kir shinger, next to -' Wittkowgky & Baruch The North State Club moved its furniture to a place of safety, and Mr. Yates, owner of the building, ealloi upon his employes to vacate the HomeNDemoprat offices. - The forms of the paper were almost ready for the press, but out of an abundance of precaution. Mr. Yates would Jnot permit his office foree to work upon them in the building. The paper was afterwards run off on Hirst's press. The stock in the china store was mot moved out, ,buf the doors of the stcre were closed. All these movements were" made not by reason of. any cer tain danger to the building, but out of a desire on part of all concerned ta re on the safe side of things. 19 red condition cf tha houca i3 cct knownX-iV m ay be dangerous," but more probably not. THE SCENE OF THE WRECK. The sight of a fine, large strucUire tumbling in chaotic ruin to it he ground is a hew one for the residemts of CharloCkd and one .of which, no ap preciation can oe given tnrougti a written description The tons of brick and sand and plaster, mingled with the masses of timber that protirade from then! in matchless disorder and conf usionr the huge root, -with ! its rear end hierh in au-.'i held tib bv the elevator- at the' back of the store which still maintains its upright posi' tion, and its centre lost in the debris, the intricate masses of flooring, sills. laths and 'splinters. an matted to gether in one great heap, must all be seen to .be fully; appreciated. The wreckage of the burned buildings.- so recently removed, is now succeeded by one more direful to behold than both the others put together. Schiff s newly excavated cellar is filled to the top with a mass of wreckage, and the rums of the hardware store tower up in a compact mass from ten to twenty. feet high. It will be a task of weeks to clear away the debris. i X J A QAPDiO SPACE. . ' 1 f ; Previous , to the fire of the 2lat of last February the south side of Trade street, from the Central Hotel corner to College street, was one splendid block of handsome buildings, but now only three -houses remain on that side of the block These .are the Central Hotel, the Yates building, and the corner , building.., owned by- B. iR,' Smith The gap , from the Central Hotel to the -Yates building .grvesj that portion of the city the appeals ance - of partial annihilation.-.

On all policies issued is the clatrie that whenever a building collapses, an J fire results after the building falls, too insurance money will 'be paid." TbQ fire in the wreck yesterday occurred after the, fall 'of the building, and under circumstances that relieves the insurance companies of , their obliga tion to cover the. losses-, Lr. J. tt.

Thos. P. Drayton, whose room was located in the ' buildmg, was among the crowd "collected: at the scene after the first section of the wall felt When the big crash came, Gen. JJrayton was. overwhelmed ra the surging crowd, falling to the pave(nent under the heeis of the 8tampeders. tie was very severely injured, though during the excite ment of tbe next halt hour he did not notice it. Later he had to : take tip his bed. and was assisted to his room in the Central. His arms and legs are baaly bruised, and it is -fen red that he has" received - internal f injuries. Gen. Drayton "anticipated an accident of this character,, and had decided to move his omce. lie had' rented a room- over r the Mer-r, chant's & Farmer's B ink, and ! was to. have moved into it , Wednesday afternoon, but met .with some delay. This'was unfortunate, as the Gener al lost a valuable library, several fine pictures, some highly prized his torical mementoes and all his busi ness and private papers, all of which would have been saved bad -tie been able to have moved v Wednesday . as he had intended' 5T " , ' ' ' PROSPECTS FOB A LAWSUIT. - ' Where the responsibility lies for yesterday's work of ruin : jilikely tp be a case tor - the : courts : to settle.
