• # ti WASHINGTON’S DEAD. f Scenes Around the Wrecked Department Building. A Coroner’* Jury of Bunlnons Men to In* ▼eatifrate the Affair—Twenty-Three Dead and Many in a Critical Condition. Washington, June 11.—Until late last night workmen had been employed in removing the tons of loose bricks and broken timbers from Ford's theater building, and this morning the old hulk looked less hideous than when the scores of dead and broken bodies were being carried from it. A hundred or more broken desks and tables were piled in the rear on each floor, and the litter of papers and books had been gathered' up, and such “at, "v. ere of any value taken. to a place of safekeeping. Broken and twisted gas pipes protruded from every part of the wrecked section of the building. By 8 o'clock, an hour earlier than usual, the old clerks began to arrive at the building, and every newcomer was .^greeted with effusive welcomes by his comrades. And then they told tales of marvellous escapes, and each was again and again questioned as to where he was at that awful moment: Tears filled many eyes as each told of his experience, and how he had seen one whom they all knew and loved dashed down to death. Many of the clerks, with a view to not losing any time, knocked on the door of the annex'building adjoining the ruined theater, and to the officials within reported for duty. But no suitable building has yet been secured, and it will probably bC some days before the force is again put to work. j The coroner's inquiry will commence Mqndav. The jury empaneled this morning consists of practical business men of high character. Investigation by the war department will also be had. The stories of suffering and distress growing out of this calamity qre heartrending.

T1IE TWENTY-THIRD VICTIM. The death-roll received another accession this morning, when A. M. Gerault, a clerk from New Jersey* gave up the struggle which he had mains tained against awful odds for nearly twenty-four hours. He went down in the wildest of. the wreck and sustained injuries from which he never rallied. One arm was broken, his head was cut and the shock produced concussion of the brain, lie was taken to 'Mertz's drug store, the temporary resting place yesterday of many of the injured, blip his injuries were of such a serionsj najture that he could. no\ be removed, and he died this morning, making the tiVenj-ty-third man on the list. Mr. Gerau.lt left a wife and married daughter. The former was at his side throughout the night, and was with him when he died. The body will be taken to his old home in New Jersey for burial. IX A VERY CRITICAL. CONDITION. A report gained circulation that Albert G. Ycraft t-, of Pennsylvania, chief of a division, died from his injuries last night. The report is incorrect. Mr. Yount is still alive, but in a very critical condition. Biographical. Following is a sketch of some of the dead: Allen, George Q., of Pennsylvania, aped 5i2. Unmarried. Mr. Allen had been in the department since 186>. He was a veteran of the late war, and served with gallantry. He wag a native of Philadelphia, where a mother aiidsteo toothers survive him.

His daughter was married Only lash Wednesday, and now lies , at her home prostrated with grief. He leaves a widow <tiis second wife) and two young children in absolute want.

He leaves a widow and three young children. Daley, Jeremiah, of Pennsylvania. He hail been employed in the office for about three years, hut his home was in Howard, Center county. Pa.

B.. of Michigan, age unknown, leaves •'wife and child, lie was a Graad Army man, and had been a resident of Washington for three years,: and with his wife and one child hoarded at 2510 Pennsylvania avenue. The ; body was badly bruised, and the death blow was evidently received while he was tending1 over his desk engaged in his work. One sad feature of the case was- the fact that preparations had already been made at the time of Mr. Gage's death for his wife to return for a visit among her old friends in Michigan. The visit was postponed once last week, and she was to have gone in a few days. » Jarvis, J. M.. of Michigan. No details Jones, J. Boyd, of Wisconsin, 251 H street, N W. Wo details.

His wife, an honest-faced little woman, told between sobs, the story of their struggles. They had bought a house in Buffalo upon the installment plan, and were laboring together, economizing in every possible way to pay the debt. Every cent that could be spared from his earnings went into this house. It is still fur frjm clear, aud Mrs. Maeder is left with thi^ burden upon her and no means of lightening' it. “The poor fellow ." she sobbed, “had only such money as was in his pockets.’’ They have no children. Macder's body is still at the undertaker’s. He will be buried here. Miller. Benjamin F., of New York, aged 51, unmarried. Probably no man in the fated office was t otter known than Capt. Benjamin F.

His was the last body ; recovered. It was taken from the ruins * at 4:30 p. m., so covered with dustvand blood that it was unrecognizable. His. family were anxiously inquiring for him all of the day, out were under the impression that he hud taken a day off and gone tishing. For some reason he Kad vacated his desk and cone to the lower floor before the crash came. Had he remained seated the probabilities are that he would have been Uninjured, as the desk was located in a part of the building not affected by the cave-in. Dr. Nelson has 'geen in Washington over twelve years. He was one of the orignal faculty ot the Columbia dented college, and was for a long time employed in the office of the surgeon-general.

JOHN MYERS’ FAME. Hp Accompli#; ties a Feat Which Will Make Him Famous Aiiitn" New York Criminals. New Ybkk. June 11.—By digging out of his cell in the Torahs prison and escaping undetected last Thursday night?' John Myers has accomplished ‘a feat which will make his name memorable in the history of crime in this city. His isi the first successful attempt to break out of this prison since it was built, nearly sixty years ago. The only escape that parallels Myers! was tha®< of murderer Wm. Sharkey! who uln(“teen years ago passed the doorkeepers disguised in woman's clothing. •'Danny'” Driscoll, leader of the... “Whyo gang,” who was hange^ some years ago, dug' through his cell in murderers’ row, but was detected before he could put his scheme of escape into effect. Myers was a burglar, and a very common burglar at that, and was ! being held for sentence after pleading guilty before Recorder Smyth in general session on June ti to two indictments for burglary in the third degree. His tools were two iron braees from his cot and an old spoon. He wrapped his sheets around his jimmy to deaden the sonnd and when he had made a hole big enough to crawl through, tore his mattress 'to_ strips, made a rope and climbed to liberty. DRAGGED TO DEATH.

Ilow ft Drunken Cow-Boy Got Away with j Hi* Antagonist. Winnemccca. Nev., June 11.—'Trainmen from Carlin give details of a tragedy which occurred near there last evening. West Heckerson and George Rice, two cow-boys who had been partners, spent the day drinking and then left for the ranch where they were employed, quarreling on the way. Rice was armed with a pistol and Heckerson, fearing he would use it, took it away from him and threw it into the river. This so angered Rice that he lassoed lieckerson, jerked him from his pony and dragged him fifty yards at a full run. He then left his" victim lying in the road and fled. The injured man was picked up shortly afterwards and taken to Carlin. He lived Only long enough to tell the story. Carlin is greatly excited over the the affair, and parties are searching for the murderer to lynch him. James Gordon Bennett. New Yo$k, June 11.—Dispatches received this morning report the condition of Mr. James Gordon Bennett as steadily improving. His friends here think that Mr. Bennett is beyond danger. »

AGRICULTURAL HINTS. THINNING ORCHARDS. The Proper Way of Reducing the Closeness of Trees. It sometimes happens that the owners of limited land desire to obtain all the benefit of closely planted trees during the early years of their bearing, and while partly grown they still afford good crops. Here is one mode by which this is done, which has been successful, both in original planting and by afterward reducing the number, in obtaining symmetrical orchards. The apple trees are planted 34 feet apart; when from this nearness the branches begin to touch each other, they are red uced ill number to S4 feet apart Fig. 1

HO. 1. represents the orchard as planted and growing in its earlier years, with trees 24 feet apart. In Fig. 2, the dotted trees are those which are removed, leaving the remaining ones 24 feet apart; and running diagonally. Where this experiment has been successfully performed, it has been found that in a few years after the thinning the fruit would be both more abundant and better in quality, in consequence off allowing more room for its growth and development. In the earlier years of this orchard, while there are a larger number of trees to feed, it is important that an annual top-dressing of manure be given, to compensate for the increased exhaustion of the soil. A mode sometimes proposed and adopted for thinning orchard trees is to take out every alternate tree in both directions, leaving only one-fourth to remain; but by the method here described only one-halt are removed.

FIG.'2. while the remaining- half have all the advantages of plenty of space. Every tree will be surrounded by four others at equal distances. When two kinds of trees are planted in the same orchard—such, for instance, as in the common mode of placing standard and dwarf pear trees alternately—it is advisable to mark out beforehand the places for the trees, so that in subsequently^ removing thein those only will be taken which are shortest-lived. A pear orchard is sometimes planted with standards and dwarfs alternately, and by marking the places for each when they are planted no mistake -will be made by removing the wrong ones. It is sometimes the practice to plant peach trees in apple orchards between the apple trees; and ^by fixing beforehand the places for each no break will be made in their arrangement, the apple trees remaining in regular rows long after the peach trees are gone.—Country Gentleman. A POOR INVESTMENT. A Road District Which Engaged in Cooperative Mud-Making. Our road district and five others got a new road machine last year, with a reversible shovel and lots of improvements. When our turn came, we put six horses on it, an expert cauae'to teach us to manage it, and all the men except one or two got on to ride, no plowing being necessary. Thus riding hack and forth, working on the road wasn’t such a mean job, and we felt rather glorious. I had a doubt or two, but there was no chance to let on. All the road to the village was made in the same way, and the best macadam of the coming road millennium, can be no better than the valley road was, so long as the weather was dry, but the first real soaking developed sags, and one went out of one hole into another wherever the ground was level, or anything like it. And this spring—well, the ruts have bottoms, I suppose. Some of our fellows are hedging a little. “We ought to have made our road wider.” Yes, but the distance that earth can be profitably moved sideways is short, and the sags would be worse as it widened. A good pathmaster, with plow and scraper, makes only short pieces at once, which may remain good for twenty 3’ears before breaking again. The machine digs up and gives a delusive smoothness to loose earth mile after mile; the rain turns it all to mud, and there you are. In connection with heavy rollers, etc., it may be a good tiling; as used in these parts it is worse than nothing.—E. S. Gilbert, in N. Y. Tribune._ Potatoes for Planting. Many farmers in cutting potatoes for planting take care to follow some rule in regard to the number of eyes to a piece. Experiments made last summer at Purdue university experiment station show that the number of eyes is immaterial, even eyes that are cut in two sending up plenty of good stalks, but thq t the weight of the pieces is the important matter. Do not feed chicks so much that they will leave part of their food, which will become sour and cause disease, if afterwards eaten.

—There is a village in the lower Berkshires that may be a rival of Lenox one of these days, although its slimmer residents hope not, for they prefer quiet. They have bought in woodland to prevent the destruction of trees, and are doing much to beautify their holdings; but there is no hotel and no immediate intention to build one. Last summer one-of the house owners made his appearance on the highway in a glittering barouche drawn by a span of croptailed, high-stepping horses decorated with silver-mounted harness. The coachman and footmen were in livery. This sort of thing was so out of keeping with the rural and democratic pleasures that the majority had gone there to obtain that a fire of good-na-tured railery was ppened against the man with the barouche. In a week he sent his equipage back and everybody breathed easier.—N. Y. Sun. Hov'a ThU! We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F.
