COLLAPSE OF A LARGE TESEnEST nousE is NEW X'OBK ALarge Number of People Burled lv the Ruins-Nine Bodies Taken Oat and the Firemen Looking for More—Terrible Ex- perience of Some of the Victims-Culpa- ble Negligence of the Authorities— The Building Long Known to Have Been Unsafe. New York, Nov. 9. Early this morning a three story tenement, corner of Sixth avenue and Grand street, fell in, burying the \u25a0 occu- panto in the ruins. The fire department up to 9 o'clock, with the assistance of citizens, had extracted fivevictims, two dead, the others seriously injured. How many were in th c building at the time of the accident is not now known. The removal of the debris is being pushed with all speed. THE OCCUPANT*. The ground floor of the building was oc- cupied as a liquor store and the upper portions by tenants. Mary Bald and John Rudulph, with his four children, were taken out of the ruins slightly injured, and May Savi'.le proba- bly fatally injured. All were "seat to it hos- pital. The firemen have taken out the dead bodies of Francis Kraup and bis son. Cath- erine Bader was also taken out fatally injured. The whole lire department U exploring the ruins. THE CAUSE. The building was a three-story brick struc- ture with an attic, owned by O'Brien, who kept a liquor saloon on the ground floor. Two years ago he put up an extension without strengthening the foundation, and this proved too much weight for the under works of the structure. Up to 11 o'clock five dead bodies had been taken out. They were Mrs. Frances Knaup and her sod, Mrs. John Rudolph, and two others whose names could not be ob- tained at the time. GETTING WORSE. As the wreck of clearing away the fallen house proceeds, it swells the proportions of the terrible calamity. Two houses fell. They were old, built of brick and three stories high. The names of the dead and wounded, as far as can be learned, are: Mr. Hill, who occupied the first floor, severely injured. His wifeand two children are in the ruins. A woman, be- lieved to be Mrs. Hill, was heard speaking underneath the ruins. It is hoped she will be taken out alive. Mrs. Bader and two sons occupied the second floor. The mother and one son escaped with bruises. The other son, Joseph, 34 years old, was severely crushed. On the third floor were Mrs. Kraub and Jno. Kraub, her son, both killed. This was at 53 Grand street. On the ground fldor of 55 Grand street was the clothing store of Moses «fcSoloman. Their stock was damaged $S,0l)O. On the first floor Mrs. Rudolph was killed. Her husband and four children escaped with slight bruises. The second floor was occupied by Mr. Wolff and four children. The father and mother escaped. The fate of the children is not known. On the third floor were Mr. Sapphey, wife and one child. The latter was killed, but the parents escaped. The loss to the owner of 53 Grand street is $15,C00, and the owner of No. 55. $10,000. MRS. HILL RE3CIED. This afternoon the firemen rescued Mrs. Hill. She was severely bruised and was suf- fering from the shock. The list of the dead bodies found is swelled to seven. The bodies of 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 the excavation is proceeding. The police hay* driven the tenants out of the adjoining house which has been injured and is very shaky. From the platform of the elevated railroad station, corner of south Fifth avenue and Grand street, a scene of utter confusion be'ow was presented. Bricks, timbers, broken boards and smashed household goods mingled with baskets and bottles from a saloon, and with torn and soiled garments of the tenants. The largest force of firemen that could be put to work among the ruins could make but 6low progress on account of the necessity of working cautiously and the difficulty of dislodging the twisted lathes and timbers. Eight or ten firemen engaged in clearing away 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 it was found she was closely pinioned by twobeams which fell across her legs. Water and stim- ulants were furnished her, and her face was covered with a veil which was kept wet with water, that the dust might not choke her. She was perfectly self-possessed and lay without murmuring or groaning while the firemen carefully worked about her. She made inquiries for her children, one 3 years, the otner 1 year old. The body of the youngest child was discovered shortly before 12 o'clock, lying close beside its mother. The little one's face was covered with dust and mortar. Death had resulted from suffocation. A brother of Mrs. Hillsaid she might have escaped, as she was near the rear window, but she ran into the bedroom to ssve her children. Her escape from death was almost miraculous, as the beams of the floor above her were not more than nine or ten inches from her face. At 1 o'clock Mrs. Hill was removed from the ruins, and it was discovered that she had been seriously injured about the legs and lower part of the body. The work of recov- ering the body of the other child was Immediately begun. A number of fire- men were also at work on the spot where 55 Grand 6treet stood, to recover the body of a German. 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. He lived for an hour or two, as some men who were working to rescue him talked withhim, but he died before the ruins cover- ing him could be removed. THE BALOON. It was said this morning that a number of customers were in the saloon, 55 Grand street, and were caught in the falling build- ing. At first it was said there were two or three men in the saloon, out the story grew by repetition until the number reached a dozen. One of the occupants of the building on the opposite side of the street said he saw three or four people in tne saloon a few minutes before the building fell. The saloon was kept by Mrs. Ward, and she had a very narrow escape. The floor above the basement is occupied by a tailor store, but there was no one there at the time. On the floor above lived John Randolph with his wife and four children. His wife, Louisa R. Ran- dolph, about 35 years old, was taken out dead, and Randolph and his four children were taken to the Chambers street hospital, suffering from very severe bruises. On the next floor a mau named Sipley lived with his wife. They both escaped by jumping from a rear window. On top, Saville, an arti- ficial flower maker, lived with his wifeand two children. He and his wife were taken out uninjured,but his oldest child, a girl of 2 y«ars of age, was killed, and the young child very severely injured. On the first floor of the building 53 Grand street, corner of South Fifth avenue, was the liquor store of Holland &O'Brien. There were no customers in the store at the time, and the bar-tender had gone to the rear room when the building fell. He made his escape through the build- ing on South Fifth avenue. On the floor above John Hill and wife lived with their two children. Both children were killed and Hill and wife severely injured" On the third floor Mrs. C. Bader lived withher two sons. One son was absent at the time, but Mrs. Bader and h-r son Joseph, 24 years old, were CAUGHT IN THE BCILDINO. Joseph was taken out with a leg broken and other severe injuries. Mrs. Bader had her skull fractured. On the ton floor Ferdinand Bold lived with his wife Mary and their son Joseph, and with them lived Mrs. Bold's mother, Fran- ces Kuort, 45 years old, her son John 14 years, and daughter Tereasa. Mrs. Knort aud John Kuort were taken out dead. People living in the neighborhood of the fallen buildings say they have been considered unsafe for a long time. C. K. Hyde, inspector of the building de- partment "in this district, said: "We have no recerd of the erection of these buildings, but they were probably fiftyyears old. The cor- ner building was altered two years ago from a three-and-a-half story building with a peaked loof, to a four-story, flat-roof building. The other building w.is threo and-a-half stories high. The party wall was an eight-inch wall. The buildings were reported unsafe last week, and I made an exHinioatiou and recommended that the walls be shored up and a new foundation built for the party wall. I did not think there was any present danger, though the foundations were rotten and the party wall had settled badly. O'Brien, owner of the corner building, signi- fied his willingness to do all required. Julius Levy was owner of the other building. Kdward Key, fireman, was injured while at work aud taken home in an ambulance. WOP.KIXG AT NIGHT. l"p to a late hour firemen were at work on the ruins of the fallen building, in search of additional dead, supposed to be there. The following is a complete list of the killed thus far received: Mrs. Knoub, John Knoub, Mrs. Louisa Rudolph, Frances Hill and infant brother, Mary Siville, Minnie Saville, mother aud 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 John Rudolph and Mary Saville. Some of the in- jured will die.

Colorado. Denver, Nov. 9.—Full returns from the city give Morris, Republican, for mayor, 319 majority over the Greenbacker and People's candidate. County returns, with two pre- cincts to hear from, give Spangler, Republi- can, for sheriff, 916 majority; a Republican gain of about 100. Lowest estimate places Denver's majority, over all, for per- manent capitol, at about 10,000. 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 all Democratic, have yet reported. The Democrati ccentral committee claim the election of the Democratic ticket by 20,000 to 30,000, and the Fusion concede an over- whelming defeat. Three-fourths of both branches of the legislature will be Democratic. Gen. Lowry, successful candidate for gov- ernor, is at the headquarters of the committee to-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 of the state officers by majorities ranging from 2,000 on Purcell to" over 20,000 on Maxwell for state treasurer. The Tribune estimates Carr's majority at 8,700 The senate, it thinks, will stand, 17 Democrats to 15 Re- publicans, and the assembly 66 Democrats to 62 Republicans. The Sun says neither party has elected its entire state ticket. So far as incom- plete returns show, Carr, Republican candi- date for secretary of state, runs ahead ofhis ticket innearly every county, and is probably elected by about 4,000 plurality over Purcell. Maxwell. Democrat, for treasurer, defeats Husted, Republican, by an estimated majority of 10,000 to 15,000. The figures aie insufficient on the rest of the state ticket to indicate the result. Each party claims the election of its ticket by 3,000. The official count will be necessary to determine the result The majorities wil probably be only a few hundred either way. The Democrats have carried the legislature by eight of ten on jointiballet. The senate will stand 17 Democrats to 15 Republicans. The assembly will probably by comprised of 68 Democrats to 60 Republicans. One or two doubtful district have not been heard from.bnt they will not wipe out the majority, even if conceded to the Republicans. BROOKLYN. New York, Nov. 9.—Complete returns from Brooklyn give the vote for mayor as follows: Low, Republican, 45,434; Howell, Democrat, 40,937; Low's majority, 4,749. Sttgman, Re- publican, for sheriff, has a majority of 547.. The Democratic majority, on 6tate tick, t, is aoout 10,000. Nete Jersey. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 9.—The result in New Jersey is as follows: Out of eight sena- tors elected, the Republicans elect four and the Democrats four. The senate will staud twelve Republicans and nine Democrats; the house thirty Republicans and thirty Demo- crats, leaving the Republicans a majority of three on joint ballot. Nebraska. Oil aha. Neb., Nov. 9.— Returns come in very slowly. A light vote was generally polled. The state ticket comprised one judge of the supreme court and two university re- gents. No special interest was attached to that part of the ticket, as the state is largely Republican and the Republican candidate's were absolutely certain tobe elected by a larjre majority. Considerable interest Is generally manifested over county ofllcers. Douglas county elected tbe straight Republican ticket by majorities ranging from 200 to1,500. This is the first time the straight ticket has been elected inthis county for several years. Hall county went Republican, the first time in its history. Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Nov. 9.—Revised estimates received from all but five counties in this state, give Bailey, Republican, for state treas- urer, 6,385 plurality. Virginia. Richmond, Va., Nov. 9.— Later returns further reduce Democratic gains in the legis- lature, and there is no hope of recovering lo6t ground in counties to hear from. Pretty full returns are received from over one-half the state and indications are that Cameron is elected, and that the Readjusters will have a good working majority on joint ballot in the legislature. At Readjuster headquarters the election of the state ticket is claimed by not less than 15,000, and a majority in the legisla- ture of 17 to 35 on joint billot. The Read- justers are exceedingly jubilant to-night, marching through the streets with bands of music and firing cannons. Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Nov. 9.— About one-half of the state heard from gives a net Democratic gain of about 8,500. The Republican majority to overcome, on the basis of the figures made, is 36,000, co that the Democratic ratio of gain wouldhave to be more than doubled in the balance of the state to defeat the Republican ticket. To-night the Republicans are very confident, and Secretary Payne, of the Repub- lican state central committee, claims the state by 7,500. The Democrats still claim the elec- tion of Falk as treasurer. Later—Further returns insure ihe election of 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 the court again yesterday. Questions for the de- fense pointed to an attempt to prove Shafter over-zealous in the service of the government in stripping Flipcer of all his personal effects. Shafter replied that the personal effects were taken at first, but subse- quently tendered back. The balance were re- tained until some small debts were settled. Probably all had been offered but refused by Flipper save through civil process. The effects had been subject to hia order since that time. Defence offered to prove that enlisted men were so enraged at his confinement that a prop- 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 special says: The entire day was occupied in entering evidence by the .prosecution. The principal paper offered was a statement from the treasury department showing that Dr. Flipper was stillaccountable for $3,791.77 as acting commissary, and the attention af the court was called to section 5,494, revised stat- utes. Capt. Barber objected on the ground that the paper was onJy proper evidence in cases of contractors for embezzlement under sections 5,488 and 5,499, but it was not proper evidence when the charge was actual embez- zlement under the sixteenth article of war. The question was argued at length and the ob- jection overruled. State Capitol Burned. St. Louis, Nov. 9.—The Republican^ Aus tin, Texas, special, says the state capitol has burned to ashes. Loss $300,000. The archives of the republic, Texas battle flags and the Alamo monument, were destroyed. Incendiar- ism is the supposed cause. Great excitement prevails. Galveston, Nov. 9.—Neivs, Austin special: To-day the old state house was discovered to be on lire, and in an hour and a half the build- ing was completely gutted, the walls standing apparently uninjured. The fire originated in .1 back room used for storing reports of the supreme court. The fire when discovered had been eating its way above and through the speaker's room. Smoke from the burning books had been observed pouring out of the chimneys in dense volumes long before it was supposed the building was on fire. The rec- ords of the different offices were generally saved, but much scattered and damaged by rain fallingat the time. Some $10,000 worth of revised statutes, the state library worth $40,000, furniture of the legislative chambers, portraits and paintings on the wall worth $20,000, with the building, worth, perhaps, $150,000, were lost. Total loss aggregates $320,000. Diabolical Deed In Southwest Missouri St. Louis, Nov. 9.^-The Republican's Springfield, Mo., special gives an account of a most diabolical outrage perpetrated Monday night at Seymour, Webster county, a new rail- road town on the Kansas City, Springfield & Memphis line. It appears that a large number ofpeople were gathered there, living in tents and huts awaiting the erection of houses. In one of the tents lived a newly married man named Newton A. McLane. During Monday night Henry Carter and Frank Brown entered the tent, and while one of the ruffians held a revolver to Mcl/me's head, the other ravished McLsne's wife. Then they changed places, and the other villain per- formed the same vile act upon the poof "wo- man. The scoundrels then fled, but an alarm was given immediately, and a large party started in pursuit. Brown has been captured, and Carter will no doubt be taken. "Judge Lynch is likely to settle the case. Druggists. ' Convention Cincinnati, Nov. 9.—The Western Whole- sale Drug association is holding its seventh annual convention here.

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.— A Frankfort special to the Courier-Journal says a negro man named Wm. Russell went to the resi- dence of Mr*, nntchiason, near the Kentucky military institute, this evecing, and assaulted her with intent to commit rape. He knocked her down with a shovel and broke her arm. He afterwards shot her in the shoulder. He then ran, but was afterwards captured and brought to the city and lodged in jail. To night great excite- ment prevails in the neighborhood, and threats oflynching are Ireeiy indulged in. Killed by a Falling House. Louisville, Nov. 9.— A Courier-Journal special from Clarksville, Teiin., says: Last night, about 10 o'clock, a frame building near the gas work?, fell down with a terrible crash, killing and buryiug beueath tiie ruins, Commodore Fertress, (colored,) his wife and three children . A young son, who escaped, felt the building gradually giving away, and tried to arouse the family, but without suc- cess. The building was an old one, but not considered dange «,ig. Oca.

London, Nov. 9.—The new lord mayor went in solemn procession to Guildhall with the usual ancient display, which drew great crowds, and withthe innovation programme, withthe object -of honoring the American people, which caused great enthusiasm. The stars and stripes were carried in the proces- sion, headed by a drum and fife and the band of the Fourth batallion land militia playing "The Star Spangled Banner." After a short interval a band from the training ship War Sprite played "Yankee Doodle." The Ameri- can flag was received withgeneral clapping of hands and cheers. The same honor was not con- spicuously rendered to any other part of the procession, except coaches of the new and old mayors. When these passed by there was a demonstration. \u25a0 As the procession passed the office of the United States Cable company four young ladies waved American flags from the windows, which was received with con- tinued applause. A great demonstration was also made at the American exchange on the strand. Three hun- dred ladies waived American colors from bal- conies. Among the decorations throughout the city, the American flag was conspicuous. There was enthusiastic cheering in the palace yard as the American banner entered, escorted by a guard ofhonor with fixed bayo- nets. As itpassed the band played "Hail Col- umbia," The route of the procession was gaily decorated with flags. When the Ameri- can flag was borne -past the American ex- change, where there was a large party as- sembled, including Christine Nillson, Mrs. Scott-Siddons, Olive Logan and Julia Haw- thorne, Godfrey's band, of the \u25a0. grenadier guards, played "The Star Spangled Banner." !.':>: . GLADSTONE SPEAKS. " Atthe lord mayor's banquet tj-night, Glad- stone, replying to the toast, "Her Majesty's Ministers," said: I can discern signs of im- provement inIreland. I believe the people of England are unanimonsly convinced that it was necessary to take strong measures in Ire- land in defense of public law and private lib- erty. One question at least has been decided. The people are determined to make a full trial of the land act. I hold in my hand very sig- nificant proof the treatment to which the Irish will be subjected by their so-called friends. It is a notice proceeding fromhigh authority stating that anybody paying rent before the suspects are released, without the consent of the Land League, will be Boycot- ted. Though I cannot state that throughout Ireland the covenants into which tenants en- ter are punctually performed, . yet they are largely and increasingly performed. Those who decline their perform- ance are generally those who are well able to fulfill their engagement. I can safely say the Irish will make use of the land act, which will be impartially admin- istered. Referring to foreign affairs, Gladstone said: Lord Gran will be able to draw a picture less charged withanxious and critical features than that of a year ago. Afghanistan, in- stead of being broken into fragments, is now under a single ruler. We are happy to think that peace reigns in South Africa. Referring to the next session ofparliament, Gladstone said: It will he an early and urgent demand on the wisdom of parliament to consider effective means for meeting the great evil of obstruction which has presented itself. I would wish this question to be, kept out of the region of party dispute in the in- terest of all parties. In the interest of the nation and country it is necessary that public business be regularly and effectually con- ducted. [Cheers]. POLITICALCAMPAIGN. The election campaign in Londonderry for member of parliament, in place of Hughes, appointed lord chancellor of Ireland, was opened yesterday. Rev. Harold Rylett, Land League candidate in the last election of Ty- rone, has asked the electors of Londonderry to remain unpledged, as a Land League candi- date will be appointed at the county conven- tion Friday. LEANING TO REPUBLICANISM. Daniel Grant, Liberal M. P., speaking at a large meeting, on the land qufstion, declared, amid much cheering, that growing thought in England was toward republicanism, though he himself was content with the present polit- ical condition of affairs. The land, he said, should be for the people, in accordance with the constitution. IBEX HOMERULE MEETING. London, Nov. 9. At a Home Rule meeting in Dublin yesterday, D. Sullivan, brother of A. M. Sullivan, moved that a Home Rule manifesto be circulated throughout Europe, America and Australia. Adetective watched those who entered the room to attend the meeting. A Dublin correspondent, discussing the Home rule meeting, says: A little knot of politicians, who meet occasionally under the name of the Home Rule League, think they see a fine opportunity for emerging from the insignificance into which they were cast by the Land League. Only twenty persons were present at the meeting at which the manifesto was promulgated. Several more suspects were arrested Tues- day. The Episcopal arms carved on the pillars of Archbishop McCabe's house, Dublin, were broken, owing, it is supposed, to the arch- bishop's recent pastoral. .''."\u25a0\u25a0 ".'-T' .'.

An arrangement between the landlord and tenants, under the land act, occurred on the estate belonging to an ex-member of parlia- ment for the county of Mayo, in which the tenants take leases for fifteen years at a reduc- tion of from £ to 10s a year on each holding, calculated on rent paid the past ten years. - In consequence of that arrangement several ten- ants have withdrawn notices that they cent to the land commission. : .•!•.

Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 9.— The follow- ing correspondence will appear in the Port Huron 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 jf the fire sufferers with regard to health, she ter, stocK, implements and general facilities fc r continu- ing their former occupations? 2. How does the amount held b\u25a0• both the committees compare with the amount necessary to enable the people to fellow their avocations and to carry them over :he winter and until they can become self-susts.ining? 3. What amount of cash has been ditributed by 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 the sufferers? To these questions E. C. Carletcn, mayor and chairman of the Port Huron Rilief com- mittee, replies as follows : 1. There is much sickness occasioned by defective shelter and exposure. Much of the stock has been, and is being sold for want of food and shelter. The people are generally well supplied withfarming implemt nts ofim- mediate necessity. If the present mode of dealing out relief was stopped, and a definite amount iv cash given to each smrcrer, the people wouldresume their former occupations at once. 2. According to our revised sworn state- ments there will be 2,200 families in the coun- ties of St. Clair, Sanilac and Huron. Each family should have at least $100 to lake them over the winter, making n, total of $220,000 required. The means of the Port H uron com- mittee are about exhausted. Th< cash re- ceipts of the Detroit committee, as reported to date, amount to $330,000. How much of this is on hand we cannot say, in v much as they have never published a i exhibit of their affairs; but from a recent dispatch by the chairman we estimate that not more than $130,000 represents the cash on hind. This would require an additional $100,100 to tide over the above committees. The Saginaw and Tuscola districts are not included in tbe above, which is mainly supplied by tho Bay City committee. 3. The Port Huron committee luyedistrib uted $15 in cash to each familyin its district aggregating $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 for seed wheat, hay, grain, feed an I lumber, amounting to $«3,000. Our committee pur- chased only $27,000 worth of genenl supplies to cover the immediate first wants of the sufferers. The Detroit :ommittee are still purchasing such supplies rrom their merchants, and must have expendt d $300,000 fur that purpose. The Detroit ommittee, with our permission, copied our sworn state- ments, and are now collating the same. We understand they willcontinue the purchase of supplies until the work is complete!, and will not distribute cash until about December 1, when the} propose to deal it on \u25a0; in small monthly installments during the winter. Mr. Carleton continues: The Port Huron committee, from the first, worked is rapidly as possible toward a cash distribution, and would have reached it some weeks earlier had it not been for the interference 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 were covered, as wasteful and demoralizing to the recipients, and retarding the build ng up of the country. The fears of the committee are being realized, as acts of lawlessnew are in- creasing in the burned district, anc a general demoralization is imminent. The Port Huron committee now earnestly but emphatically, on behalf of their stricken neighbors,g hbors, de- mand of the district committee the immedi- ate distribution of the balance of the money in their hands. We cheerfully gave them the use o'our sta- tistics, and if they arc not prepared for a cash distribution at once, we will further after them the use of the whole machinery of iur office and also piece our general agent at their dis- posal. But for humanity's sake we ask that they place the money where it belongs. E. C. Carlton, > t.yor, Chairman of Port Huron C > nmittee. ABroken California Banl:.

In the criminal court to-day Scoville stated that the warden of the prison, on hiaapplica- tion to him yesterday, did not remember tak- ing any letter from Guiteau directed to him (Scoville), and which he put into the hands of the district attorney. Tbe warden declined to make any affidavit to that effect. He apolo- gized to the court for troubling it in this matter, but stated that he would call itup in trial. District Attorney Corkhill responded, deny- ing emphatically that he ever received from Warden Crocker, or any one else, any letter from Guiteau to Scoville. He had extended every courtesy to Scoville, seeing he was struggling at a great disadvantage, and he wondered that he should moke such a charge. Warden Crocker was then sworn. Corkhill asked the warden whether he ever delivered a letter to him addressed to Scoville by Guiteau. "I never did," was the reply. "Do you want to ask him any question, Mr. Scoville?" said Judge Cox. "No," said Scovilla, "we are not trying the Guiteau cage just jet." Then the matter dropped. THE BROKEN NSWABE BANK. Comptroller of Curency Khox has received no further reports from the Newark bank.

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 cross examination of Shaf ter occupied thecourt again yesterday.

HONOR TO AMERICA.London, Nov. 9.—The new lord mayor

went in solemn procession to Guildhall withthe usual ancient display, which drew greatcrowds, and withthe innovation programme,withthe object -of honoring the Americanpeople, whichcaused great enthusiasm. Thestars and stripes were carried in the proces-sion, headed by a drum and fife and the bandof the Fourth batallion land militia playing"The Star Spangled Banner." After a shortinterval aband from the training ship WarSprite played "Yankee Doodle." The Ameri-can flagwas received withgeneral clapping ofhands and cheers. The same honor was not con-spicuously rendered to any other part of theprocession, except coaches of the new and oldmayors.

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].

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.
