New York, Nov. 9.—

Early this morning

a three story tenement, corner of Sixth avenueand Grand street, fell in, burying the \u25a0 occu-panto in the ruins. The fire department upto 9 o'clock, with the assistance of citizens,had extracted fivevictims, two dead, the othersseriously injured. How many were in thcbuilding at the time of the accident is not nowknown. The removal of the debris is beingpushed withall speed.

THE OCCUPANT*.The ground floor of the building was oc-

cupied as a liquor store and the upper portionsby tenants. Mary Bald and John Rudulph,with his four children, were taken out of theruins slightly injured, and May Savi'.le proba-bly fatallyinjured. All were "seat to it hos-pital. The firemen have taken out the deadbodies of Francis Kraup and bis son. Cath-erine Bader was also taken out fatally injured.The whole lire department U exploring theruins.

THE CAUSE.

The building was a three-story brick struc-

ture withan attic, owned by O'Brien, whokepta liquor saloon on the ground floor. Twoyears ago he put up an extension withoutstrengthening the foundation, and this provedtoo much weight for the under works of thestructure. Up to 11o'clock five dead bodieshad been taken out. They were Mrs. FrancesKnaup and her sod, Mrs. John Rudolph, andtwo others whose names could not be ob-tained at the time.

GETTING WORSE.As the wreck of clearing away the fallen

house proceeds, itswells the proportions of theterrible calamity. Two houses fell. Theywere old, built of brick and three stories high.The names of the dead and wounded, as far ascan be learned, are: Mr. Hill, who occupiedthe first floor, severely injured. His wifeandtwo children are in the ruins. Awoman, be-lieved tobe Mrs. Hill, was heard speakingunderneath the ruins. Itis hoped she willbetaken out alive.

Mrs. Bader and twosons occupied the secondfloor. The mother and one son escaped withbruises. The other son, Joseph, 34 years old,was severely crushed.

On the third floor were Mrs. Kraub andJno. Kraub, her son, both killed. This wasat 53 Grand street.

On the ground fldor of 55 Grand street wasthe clothing store of Moses «fcSoloman. Theirstock was damaged $S,0l)O. On the first floorMrs. Rudolph was killed. Her husband andfour children escaped withslight bruises. Thesecond floor was occupied by Mr. Wolffand four children. The father and motherescaped. The fate of the children is notknown. On the third floor were Mr.Sapphey,wife and one child. The latter was killed, butthe parents escaped. The loss to the owner of53 Grand street is $15,C00, and the owner ofNo. 55. $10,000.

MRS. HILLRE3CIED.This afternoon the firemen rescued Mrs.

Hill. She was severely bruised and was suf-fering from the shock. The list of the deadbodies found is swelled to seven. The bodiesof John Thompson, a negro 35 years of age,and Frank and Chester Hill, two children, be-ing added to those already found. Itis be-lieved more dead will be brought out as theexcavation is proceeding. The policehay*driven the tenants out of the adjoininghouse which has been injured and is veryshaky.

From the platform of the elevated railroadstation, corner of south Fifth avenue andGrand street, a scene of utter confusion be'owwas presented. Bricks, timbers, broken boardsand smashed household goods mingled withbaskets and bottles from a saloon, and withtorn and soiled garments of the tenants. Thelargest force of firemen that could be put towork among the ruins could make but6low progress on account of the necessityof working cautiously and the difficultyofdislodging the twisted lathes and timbers.

Eight or ten firemen engaged in clearingaway the ruin» from the place where Mrs.Hill and her two children were imprisoned,worked energetically to get them out alive.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.About 11 o'clock the debris which partially

covered Mrs. Hill's face was iemoved,but itwasfound she was closely pinioned by twobeamswhich fell across her legs. Water and stim-ulants were furnished her, and her face wascovered with a veil which was kept wet withwater, that the dust mightnot choke her.She was perfectly self-possessed andlay without murmuring or groaningwhile the firemen carefully worked about her.She made inquiries for her children, one 3years, the otner 1 year old. The body of theyoungest child was discovered shortly before12o'clock, lying close beside its mother. Thelittle one's face was covered with dust andmortar. Death had resulted from suffocation.A brother ofMrs. Hillsaid she might haveescaped, as she was near the rearwindow, but she ran into the bedroomto ssve her children. Her escape from deathwas almost miraculous, as the beams of thefloor above her were not more than nine orten inches from her face. At1 o'clock Mrs.Hillwas removed from the ruins, and it wasdiscovered that she had been seriously injuredabout the legs and lower part ofthe body. The work of recov-ering the body of the other childwas Immediately begun. Anumber of fire-men were also at workon the spot where 55Grand 6treet stood, to recover the body of aGerman. He was a customer of the beer sa-loon in the basement, and went into the yard,where he was caught by the falling walls. Helived for an hour or two, as some men whowere working to rescue him talkedwithhim, but he died before the ruins cover-ing him could be removed.

THE BALOON.Itwas said this morning that a number of

customers were in the saloon, 55 Grandstreet, and were caught in the fallingbuild-ing. At first it was said there weretwo or three men in the saloon, out the storygrew by repetition until the number reached adozen. One of the occupants of the buildingon the opposite side of the street saidhe saw three or four people in tne saloona few minutes before the buildingfell. The saloon was kept by Mrs. Ward, andshe had a very narrow escape. The floorabovethe basement is occupied by a tailor store, butthere was no one there at the time. On thefloor above livedJohn Randolph withhis wifeand four children. His wife, Louisa R. Ran-dolph, about 35 years old, was taken out dead,and Randolph and his four children were takento the Chambers street hospital, sufferingfrom very severe bruises. On the next floora mau named Sipley lived withhis wife. They both escaped by jumpingfrom arear window. On top, Saville, an arti-ficial flower maker, lived with his wifeandtwo children. He and his wife were taken outuninjured,but his oldest child, a girlof 2 y«arsof age, was killed, and the young child veryseverely injured. On the first floor of thebuilding 53 Grand street, corner ofSouth Fifth avenue, was the liquor store ofHolland &O'Brien. There were no customersin the store at the time, and the bar-tenderhad gone to the rear room when the buildingfell. He made his escape through the build-ing on South Fifth avenue. On the floorabove John Hill and wife lived withtheir twochildren. Both children were killed and Hilland wife severely injured" On the third floorMrs. C. Bader lived withher two sons. One

son was absent at the time, but Mrs. Baderand h-r son Joseph, 24 years old, were

CAUGHT IN THE BCILDINO.Joseph was taken out witha leg broken and

other severe injuries. Mrs. Bader had her skullfractured. On the ton floor Ferdinand Boldlived withhis wifeMary and their son Joseph,and withthem lived Mrs. Bold's mother, Fran-ces Kuort, 45 years old, her son John 14years,and daughter Tereasa. Mrs. Knort aud JohnKuort were taken out dead.

People living in the neighborhood of thefallen buildings say they have been consideredunsafe for a long time.

C. K.Hyde, inspector of the building de-partment "in this district, said: "We have norecerd of the erection of these buildings, butthey were probably fiftyyears old. The cor-ner building was altered two years ago from athree-and-a-half story building with a peakedloof, to a four-story, flat-roof building. Theother building w.is threo and-a-half storieshigh. The party wall was aneight-inch wall. The buildings werereported unsafe last week, and Imade anexHinioatiou and recommended that the wallsbe shored up and a new foundation built forthe party wall. Idid not think there was anypresent danger, though the foundations wererotten and the party wallhad settled badly.O'Brien, owner of the corner building, signi-fied his willingness to do all required. JuliusLevy was owner of the other building.Kdward Key, fireman, was injured while atwork aud taken home inan ambulance.

WOP.KIXG AT NIGHT.l"p toa late hour firemen were at work on

the ruins of the fallen building, in search ofadditional dead, supposed to be there. Thefollowingis a complete listof the killed thusfar received: Mrs. Knoub, John Knoub, Mrs.Louisa Rudolph, Frances Hill and infantbrother, Mary Siville,Minnie Saville, motheraud daughter, John Thompson and an un-known man. The injured are: Mrs. Balder,Josiah Balder. John Gillespie, John K. Hill,Mrs. Minnie Hill,Martin, Charles and JohnRudolph and Mary Saville. Some of the in-jured will die.

County returns, with two pre-cincts to hear from, give Spangler, Republi-can, for sheriff, 916 majority; a Republicangain of about 100.

Mississippi.

Jackson, Misa.,Nov. 9.—

Returns are com-log in freely from central and northern coun-ties but few southern and eastern conn-ties, nearly allDemocratic, have yet reported.The Democrati ccentral committee claim theelection of the Democratic ticket by 20,000 to30,000, and the Fusion concede an over-whelming defeat. Three-fourths of bothbranches of the legislature willbe Democratic.Gen. Lowry, successful candidate for gov-ernor, is at the headquarters of the committeeto-day receiving congratulations.

Netc York.New York,Nov. 9.—The World's legisla-

tive ta ble makes the state senate—

Democrats,17; IRepublicans, 15. Assembly —Democrats,67; Republicans, 61; and claims the election ofthe state officers by majorities ranging from2,000 on Purcell to" over 20,000 on Maxwellforstate treasurer. The Tribune estimatesCarr's majority at 8,700 The senate, itthinks, will stand, 17 Democrats to 15 Re-publicans, and the assembly 66Democrats to 62Republicans. The Sun says neither party haselected its entire state ticket. So far as incom-plete returns show, Carr, Republican candi-date for secretary of state, runs ahead ofhisticket innearly every county, and isprobablyelected byabout 4,000 plurality over Purcell.Maxwell. Democrat, for treasurer, defeatsHusted, Republican, by an estimated majorityof 10,000 to 15,000. The figures aieinsufficient on the rest ofthe state ticket to indicate the result.Each party claims the election of its ticket by3,000. The official count will be necessary todetermine the result The majorities wilprobably be only a few hundred either way.The Democrats have carried the legislature byeight of ten on jointiballet. The senate willstand 17 Democrats to 15 Republicans. Theassembly will probably by comprised of 68Democrats to 60 Republicans. One or twodoubtful district have not been heard from.bntthey will not wipe out the majority, even ifconceded to the Republicans.

New Jersey is as follows: Out of eight sena-tors elected, the Republicans elect four and theDemocrats four. The senate will staudtwelve Republicans and nine Democrats; thehouse thirty Republicans and thirty Demo-crats, leaving the Republicans a majority ofthree on joint ballot.

Nebraska.Oilaha. Neb., Nov. 9.—Returns come in

very slowly. A light vote was generallypolled. The state ticket comprised one judgeofthe supreme court and two university re-gents. No special interest was attached tothat part of the ticket, as the state is largelyRepublican and the Republican candidate'swere absolutely certain tobe elected by a larjremajority. Considerable interest Is generally

manifested over county ofllcers. Douglascounty elected tbe straight Republican ticketby majorities ranging from 200 to1,500. Thisis the first time the straight ticket has beenelected inthis county for several years. Hallcounty went Republican, the first time initshistory.

Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Nov. 9.—Revised estimatesreceived from all but five counties in thisstate, give Bailey, Republican, for state treas-urer, 6,385 plurality.

Virginia.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 9.— Later returnsfurther reduce Democratic gains in the legis-lature, and there is no hope of recovering lo6tground in counties to hear from. Pretty fullreturns are received from over one-half thestate and indications are that Cameron iselected, and that the Readjusters will have agood working majority on joint ballot in thelegislature. At Readjuster headquarters theelection of the state ticket is claimed by notless than 15,000, and a majority in the legisla-ture of17 to 35 on joint billot. The Read-justers are exceedingly jubilant to-night,marching through the streets with bands ofmusic and firingcannons.

Wisconsin.Milwaukee, Nov. 9.—About one-half of

the state heard from gives a net Democraticgain of about 8,500. The Republican majoritytoovercome, on the basis of the figures made,is 36,000, co that the Democratic ratio of gainwouldhave to be more than doubled in thebalance of the state to defeat the Republicanticket. To-night the Republicans are veryconfident, and Secretary Payne, ofthe Repub-lican state central committee, claims the stateby 7,500. The Democrats still claim the elec-tion of Falk as treasurer.

Later—Further returns insure ihe electionof the Republican state ticket, and the plu-rality is estimated at not less than 6,000.

The Flipper Case.Galveston, Nov. 9.—ln the Flipper case

the cross examination of Shaf ter occupied thecourt again yesterday. Questions for the de-fense pointed to an attempt to proveShafter over-zealous in the service ofthe government in stripping Flipcer of allhis personal effects. Shafter replied that thepersonal effects were taken at first,but subse-quently tendered back. The balance were re-tained untilsome small debts were settled.Probably all had been offered but refused byFlipper save through civilprocess. The effectshad been subject to hia order since that time.Defence offered to prove that enlisted menwere so enraged at his confinement that aprop-osition was made to relieve Flipper by force.The judge advocate decided the offer as im-proper.

WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.Galveston, Nov. 9.—ANews' Fort Davis

Springfield, Mo., special gives an account ofamost diabolical outrage perpetrated Mondaynight at Seymour, Webster county, a new rail-road town on the Kansas City, Springfield &Memphis line. Itappears that a large numberofpeople were gathered there, living in tentsandhuts awaiting the erection of houses. Inone of the tents lived a newly marriedman named Newton A. McLane.During Monday night Henry Carter andFrank Brown entered the tent, and while oneof the ruffians held a revolver to Mcl/me'shead, the other ravished McLsne's wife.

A great demonstration was also made at theAmerican exchange on the strand. Three hun-dred ladies waived American colors from bal-conies. Among the decorations throughoutthe city, the American flag was conspicuous.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.

"

Atthe lord mayor's banquet tj-night,Glad-stone, replying to the toast, "Her Majesty'sMinisters," said: Ican discern signs of im-provement inIreland. Ibelieve the people ofEngland are unanimonsly convinced that itwas necessary to take strong measures inIre-land in defense of public law and private lib-erty. One question at least has been decided.The people are determined to make a fulltrialof the land act. Ihold in my hand very sig-nificant proof the treatment to whichthe Irish willbe subjected by their so-calledfriends. Itis anotice proceeding fromhighauthority stating that anybody paying rentbefore the suspects are released, without theconsent of the Land League, willbe Boycot-ted. Though Icannot state that throughoutIreland the covenants into which tenants en-ter are punctually performed, .yet they arelargely and increasingly performed.Those who decline their perform-ance are generally those whoare well able to fulfilltheir engagement. Ican safely say the Irish willmake use of theland act, which will be impartially admin-istered.

Referring to foreign affairs, Gladstone said:Lord Gran will be able to draw apictureless charged withanxious and critical featuresthan that of a year ago. Afghanistan, in-stead of being broken into fragments, is nowunder a single ruler. We are happy to thinkthat peace reigns inSouth Africa.

Referring to the next session ofparliament,Gladstone said: It will he an early andurgent demand on the wisdom of parliamentto consider effective means for meeting thegreat evilof obstruction which has presenteditself. Iwould wish this question tobe, keptout of the region of party dispute in the in-terest of all parties. In the interest of thenation and country it is necessary that publicbusiness be regularly and effectually con-ducted. [Cheers].

Adetective watchedthose who entered the room to attend themeeting. ADublincorrespondent, discussingthe Home rule meeting, says: Alittleknotof politicians, who meet occasionally underthe name of the Home Rule League, thinkthey see a fine opportunity foremerging fromthe insignificance into which they were castby the Land League. Only twenty personswere present at the meeting at which themanifesto was promulgated.

Several more suspects were arrested Tues-day.

MICHIGAN FIRE BELIEF.Extent of the Aid Still Requlied-What.

Has Been Spsnt and How it Was Ap-plied-Some Interesting Correspondence.

Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 9.—The follow-ing correspondence will appear in the PortHuron Daily Times of to-morrow, la answer.to a dispatch from Jas. S. McDonald, secre-tary of the Michigan relief comn.ittee, No.299 Broadway, New York, containing the fol-lowing questions:

1. What is the present condition jfthe firesufferers with regard tohealth, she ter, stocK,implements and general facilities fc r continu-ing their former occupations?

2. How does the amount held b\u25a0• both thecommittees compare with the amountnecessary to enable the people to fellow theiravocations and to carry them over :he winterand until they can become self-susts.ining?

3. What amount of cash has been ditributedby each committee to each family in its dis-trict?

4.1s your committee or the district com-mittee purchasing merchandize fron the mer-chants ofits citywith the money contributed,instead of distributing the money cmong thesufferers?

To these questions E. C. Carletcn, mayorand chairman of the Port Huron Rilief com-mittee, replies as follows:

1. There is much sickness occasioned bydefective shelter and exposure. Much of thestock has been, and is being sold for want offood and shelter. The people are generallywell supplied withfarming implemt nts ofim-mediate necessity. If the present mode ofdealing out relief was stopped, and a definiteamount ivcash given to each smrcrer, thepeople wouldresume their former occupationsat once.

2. According to our revised sworn state-ments there willbe 2,200 families in the coun-ties of St. Clair, Sanilac and Huron. Eachfamily should have at least $100 to lake themover the winter, making n, total of $220,000required. The means ofthe Port Huron com-mittee are about exhausted. Th< cash re-ceipts of the Detroit committee, as reportedto date, amount to$330,000. How much ofthis is on hand we cannot say, in v much asthey have never published ai exhibitof their affairs; but from a recent dispatch bythe chairman we estimate that not more than$130,000 represents the cash on hind. Thiswould require an additional $100,100 to tideover the above committees. The Saginaw andTuscola districts are not included intbe above,which is mainly supplied by tho Bay Citycommittee.

3. The Port Huron committee luyedistributed $15 in cash to each familyinits districtaggregating $33,000. The Detroit :ommitte<have distributed no cash to sufferers.

4. The Port Huron committee < eased pur-chasing supplies on the 3d of October, ex-cept in carrying out outstading contracts forseed wheat, hay, grain, feed anIlumber,amounting to $«3,000. Our committee pur-chased only $27,000 worth of genenl suppliesto cover the immediate first wants ofthe sufferers. The Detroit :ommitteeare still purchasing such supplies rrom theirmerchants, and must have expendt d $300,000fur that purpose. The Detroit ommittee,withour permission, copied our sworn state-ments, and are now collating the same. Weunderstand they willcontinue the purchase ofsupplies until the work is complete!, and willnot distribute cash until about December 1,when the} propose to deal it on \u25a0; in smallmonthly installments during the winter.

Mr.Carleton continues: The Port Huroncommittee, from the first, worked is rapidlyas possible toward a cash distribution, andwould have reached it some weeksearlier had it not been for theinterference of the governor, the Detroit com-mittee and the Detroit newspapers. They re-garded the indiscriminate purchase md distri-bution of supplies, after the first n;eds werecovered, as wasteful and demoralizing to therecipients, and retarding the build ng up ofthe country. The fears of the committee arebeing realized, as acts of lawlessnew are in-creasing in the burned district, anc a generaldemoralization is imminent. The Port Huroncommittee now earnestly but emphatically,on behalf of their stricken neighbors,g hbors, de-mand ofthe district committee the immedi-ate distribution of the balanceof the money in their hands.We cheerfully gave them the use o'our sta-tistics, and if they arc not prepared fora cashdistribution at once, we willfurther after themthe use of the whole machinery of iur officeand also piece our general agent at their dis-posal. But for humanity's sake we ask thatthey place the money where itbelongs.
