Washington. D. (1. .1 nno Q
Ford's old theatre building in
which Abraham Lincoln was assas
sin ated, and ueed bv the Gnvrn.
ment for many jears as part of the
l4Uto mo ourgeon ueneral of the
army, collapsed this morning at
0:50 o'clock with terrible
loss of life and injury. The build
ing stood on 10th street, northwest,
between E and F streets, and not
far from Pennsylvania avenue

twenty, and has been
propped up and renovated from'
year to year.
There were 475 persons. miwH?
government clerks, employed in the
building, and nearly all of these
were at work when the building
fell. An excavation for an Aler-fi-
light plant was being made in the
cellar ot the structure a thrp.
story affair and according to the
oest information nhfainoKia v,
wprkmen this morniner had duo-ha-
neath the foundation supports in
front of the building, weakening
them to such an extend that, ih
walls gave way bef ore they could be
jacked. This explanation of the
cause of the accident is the only
one advanced, but it seems some
what strange in view of tb fact.
that the top floor gave way first.
The men who were in the build
ing say the crash came without
warning. Those on the top floor
were suddenly precipitated to the
floor below, and the weight of th
falling timbers and furniture car
ried 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
near part of the structure remained
intact. The walls did not fall.
The news that the building had
fallen spread with lmh
-apidity, and soon Tenth Btreet and
adjacent throughfares were crow
ded with people. "Within an hour
the ne was known all over Wash
ington, d hundreds of anxious
relatives a. ' friends swarmed the
vicinity of the old theatre. Womer
appealed anxiously to every "by
stander for information about some
particular person, while men with
tears in their eyes, imploringly
besought the policemen to let them
through the police lines, that they
might obtain some knowledge of
their friends and relatives. The
general fire alarm was turned in a
few minutes after the crash, and
then all ambulances in the city were
summoned. As quickly as possible
the police and firemen formed a
rescue brigade and ready hands as
sisted them to take out the killed
and wounded.
In less than un hour about 25
people had been taken out and ev
ery few minutes thereafter some
still form would be bcrne on a
stretcher from the building. Po
lice and army ambulances, cabs,
carriages and vehicles of every
description were preesed into ser
vice for taking away the dead and
injured. All hospitals in the city
were utilized in caring for the in
jured, and scores of physicians vol
unteered their services for this
work.
The Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia took possession of
the building and vicinity in person
and helped direct the police and
rescuers. ' Col. Corbin, Assistant
Adjutant General of the Army, was
sent by Major General Schofield to
represent the War Department and
to decide, if necessary, to call out
the troops. Owing to excellent po
lice regulations the rescuers were
not hindered in their work by the
anxious crowd, and it was not long
before the debris had been cleared
away to such an extent that the
work of rescue could be carried on
without hinderance.
Both military and naval authori
ties took prompt action. Gen Scho
field ordered two troops of cavalry
from Fort Myer, just across the
river, and two companies of infantry
from the arsenal to the scene of the
disaster. The Secretary of the Navy
ordered out all the naval medical
officers here, and also opened the
naval hospital to receive the injured.
The commandant at the navy yard
was ordered to render all the as
sistance in his power. Every hos
pital in the city was called into
requisition. There wereftmbnT.0
carriages and other vehicles filled
with the wounded quickly travers
ing the city in every direction.
Those who were early on the
scene found the body of a colored
man in the allev in th
building where John Wilkes Booth
naa nis norse hitched the night he
killed Lincoln. This
. Arnold, a well known colored
cierK appointed from Virginia. He
had been seen at the third story
window. He was warned not to
jump, but despite the protestations
of a number of people, he climed
out, and lowering himself from the
Bill, let go. He fell upon the cov
ering at the lower floor and slided
off into the cobblestoned alley,
striking on his head, instantly kill
ing him.
One of the bravest and most dar
ing incidents connected with the
calamity was performed by a colored
boy 19 or 20 years of age named
J-Sasil Lockwood. As soon as the
floors collapsed and the dust had
cleared away, realizing the danger
of those at the rear windows who
were wildly climbing out and calling
for aid. he climbed
pole as high as the third story and
lashed a ladder to the pole, putting
the other end in th
this means ten or fifteen were aseis-
tea down the ladder in safety.
None Of those who esaanA,. ir. i,
could tell which of the floors first
gave way. To the occupants of each
floor there was but onn orah yaaA
and instantly the whole buildine
vfcamuju witis; onnding lime dust.
Running directlv thrnno), oil nf
floors and in tho
building was a light well ten feet or
more long, and nearly as many wide,
the fatal area was in front of this',
leaving a space of six or seven feet
in width undisturbed on either side.
The entire back part of the building,
containing more than half of the
floor space, remained intact. There
were many very narrow escapes
from death. A number of clerks,
whose desks rested directly upon
the line where the floors broke away,
saved themselves, while the desks at
which they sat were precipitated
down the awful chasm. Others who
were walking across the room heard
an ominous sound and stopped just
at the very threshold of death
When the crash came, those who
survived heard a mighty scream of
anguish from their comrades as they
sank out of sight, and then groping
in darkness they found their way to
safety trembling in every joint, with
the palor of death in their faces.
No women were admitted in the
building, but in a few minutes after
the crash came, the wives, mothers
and daughters of the victims began
to arrive.
Within a very few moments hun
dreds or more men, stripped for hot
work, jumped into the building and
began throwing out the wreckage in
front and under the floors which re
mained standing in the rear.
Most of those first taken out of
the ruins were carried to Emer
gency Hospital. About 10:36 o'clock
the dead and injured began to ar
rive faster than the corps of sur
geons could attend to the injured.
Carried in on stretchers, they were
dumped at the most convenient
places. Those who were most seri
ously injured were attended to,
while the others groaning and cry
ing from the pain of broken limbs,
lay limp beseeching the doctors
to dress their wounds. Shortly
after the arrival of the first unfor
tunates the crowd began to asaem
ble in front of the hospital, many of
them being wives, daughters and
relatives of the dead and injured.
Their weeping and frantic cries for
information were heartrending.
They greatly interfered with the
work of the physicians, and Dr.
Kerr, in charge of the hospital, de
termined to put them out. Load
after load of wounded, blind from
debris, with their limbs broken and
maimed, were dumped at the door.
They had to remain outside for
sometime as the force and facilities
of the hospital were unequal to the
emergency. As quickly as surgeons,
who were shortly reinforced by
young men graduates of the city,
could do so, they examined and
dreesed the wounds and they
were then sent upstairs to more
comfortable quarters It was with
great difficulty that the policemen
could keep the relatives of the in
jured out of the building, and
while outside their agonizing cries
could be distinctly heard by the
unfortunates who lay helpless.
Priests and ministers were soon on
the spot and at once admitted they
repaired to the cots of the injured,
where they administered spiritual
consolation. Two men reached the
hospital in a dying condition, so
badly injure I that they were taken
from the dressing roomjmd sent to
the morgue where they shortly ex
pired. Charles S. Miller and J.
Brad Jones were among them, while
the other was a young man of
handsome appearance, and about
twenty-five years of age. The first
two were horribly mutilated, but
the last one did not bear an appar
ent trace of even an abrasion.
At the other hospitals and in the
drug stores adjacent to the accident
similar scenes were being enacted.
In the meantime the work of rescue
was going on at the ruins. About
half-past 11 o'clock a company of
the Fourth United States Artillery
from the Washington barracks ar
rived on the scene of the accident,
and men were distributed abm.t t,a
, VUO
ruined structure to guard against
iuuenerence witn tne workmen.
Shortly after the cavalry from Fort
Myer, Va , reached the spot, and as
sisted the other regulars in main
taining order. The main duty of
the soldiers was to guard the rebel
lion records stored in the building.
The clerks who escaped were
pressed into service, and went will
ingly to work removing bundles of
valuable documents. A great deal
of the work of the pension office is
dependent on these records, and
their value to the Government and
to individuals is inestimable. They
cannot be replaced. Every few
minutes during the first two hours
after the accident, the dead and
wounded men were taken out of
the debris. To the onlookers, all
bruised and maimed, their dust
covered bodies seemed bereft of
life.
One man, whose face was covered
with blood, and who was seemingly
dead, suddenly raiwd up in the am
bulance in wnieh ua wiva loi
and swallowed a glass of whisky.
This brought a cheer from the
crowd and thereafter every resonft
was accompanied by applause. All

secured were dfekfwrt i

clear away the debris. Workmen
snoveled the plaster, brick, docu
ments and broken furnitn
carts and each load was taken away
to the dumping ground near by.
There was much danger to the rescu
ing gangs for the edges of the fallen
floors hung threateninelv r. nwn.
ward over the heads of the workers.
It seemed that little progress could
be made in clearing away the im
mense mass of fallen rubbish, but
the work nevertheless progressed
rapidly. An incident of the day
was the number of the clergy who,
on hearing of the disaster, flocked
to the scene, utterly regardless of
their own safety, entered the build
ing, tne rear walls of which were
warningly bulging out, and minis
tered to the dying and injured.
Ministers of all creeds were present.
Hairbreadth escapes, narrated by
.the survivors, were numberless. One
of tho most thrillings scenes of the
whole affair was the sight of a
dczen men who were left in a
corner of the third story climbing
down the ho6e pipe to the ground.
The laBt man taken from the build
alive up to 12;30, was Capt Dowd
of Indiana. He was found near the
southwest corner of the building,
covered to a depth of two or three
feet with brick and mortar. He
had lain there three hours, but a
falling beam had lodged near him
in such a position as to break the
fall of the brick and timber, and
when lifted up he raised his hand
showing that he was conscious.
When he was lifted into th Gar
field hospital ambulance the crowd
saw that he was alive aud cheered
again and again.
Between 10 o'clock and noon am
bulances were kept busy carrying
away the dead and injured. The
faces of many of the victims were
covered with pieces of cloth, an old
coat, newspaper or whatever else
could be had; but some of the man
gled bodies were carried out with
their faces exposed to the gaze of
the great throng that surrounded
the building.
As can well be understood there
were many appalling scenes. On
the front seat of one of the ambu
lances rode away one of those who
had gone down in the crash. His
face, hands, hair and clothing were
completely covered with blood. He
did not seem to be seriously hurt,
but the spectacle was revolting in
the extreme. All during the long
hours while the workmen were
working with all their strength to
rescue such as were not past help,
tho mothers, sisters and daughters
of those that had gono down hov
ered around the front of the build
ing, and with streaming eyes in
quired of all whom they met of
some tidings of their dear ones.
Some could hardly be restrained
from pushing their way into the
building. A look into the interior
tells a sickening tale of how some
were taken and others left. Desks
are seen half toppling over the
brink of the floor, others stand up
right, bub the chair which stood be
side it and its occupant went down
with the crash. Records and papers
are scattered everywhere, but as
fast as possible they are being gath
ered up and saved. Many of them
are spotted with blood, and all are
more or less obliterated.
The President was informed of
the sad event just as he reached the
entrance to the White House by one
of the clerks, and he at once inter
ested himself in relief measures.
Learning with satisfaction what had
been done by Assistant Secretary of
War Grant, who had come over to
the White House before noon. Sur
geon General Sternberg went at
once to the scene of disaster upon
hearing the news, as did Dr. Ains
worth who is chief of the records
and pension division.

heathen from their darkness, and
that this work is left for the Anglo-

Thomas J. Jarvis, on "The Voice
of Nature," made a brilliant and
forcible argument in behalf of lis
tening to the voice cf nature. He
clearly showed the contest and con
flict between the lower and higher
classes of society. He advocated
education as the thing that will set

man, and that this education should
be broad, deep and fraternal. He
thinks that nature is the best and
safest teacher.
Robert II. Willis on "Tho Force

power of men of principle. He says
that in our field of work success
comes to that one who ha3 great
force of principle, that today soci

H. P. Boggs, on "Against the
Waving of the Bloody Shirt," gave
the audience a beautiful speech.
He showed that there were good on
either side in the civil war, and that
truth and right, on whatever side,
should be given credit and honor.

At the commencement on Thursday

of Turnerfiburr. Iredell .n,,r.fx-
whom it was presented by Hon.' A
v. i-vtry, associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, in a short but. ),a,.t.
seme and touching speech.
Judge Averv s speech was as f.d.
lows:
"On the second dav of tho rrrat
contest at Gettysburg, a vouth fcf
twenty summers stood proudly at
me neaa oi a company of stalwart
men, as his regiment, the Fiftv-
seventh North Carolin a, was bein"
aligned at the foot of th
Cemetery Hill. He stood at its
head not bv accident, but
chosen Captain, who had shown
himself in his bovhood a 1 mrn
leader of men. As showers of shot
and shell went shrieking over that
line, the calm confidence that
beamed from the eve of th Imv
y V J f
was reuectea irom the faces of his
men.
When the evening Rha.l
lengthening the fateful order came.
Ewell's Corps must attack; Early's
division must lead. As the gallant
oim and the historic old Gth Nnrt!,
Carolina moved forward in the forco
of the deadly volleys that thinned
their ranks at every step, the voice

the din of battle, cheering his men,
