TWENTY-TWO LIVES Suddenly Cruehort. Jut by tho Golltipso of Ford'3 Thontor, This HiillillriK I WaMilmrton Wlierrln Wrnldrilt Lincoln waa At- . naU-.l-Miioy Oilier Injured and Numerou Kcapc. Wawiinoto.v, dune 10. Another tragedy, less national in character, but Involving the loss of many more lives and much more human suffering, has htaineil the walls of the old Ford's theater, Washington, in which Abrain am Lincoln was assassinated by John Vilke.s Itooth. in April. lSrtS. It is a coincidence, also, which will go into his"tory, that this second tragedy occurred on the very day when the remains of the gprcat tragedian, whose life was so darkened by his brother', crime, that The never visited Washington nfterwnnl.s, were being laid to rest in Mount Auburn cemetery, Hoston.o Tim house in which Lincoln died, on the other side of the street from the -theater where he was shot, and which 3k htill .sentimentally kept intact as it wnxthat fatal night, looked down yesterday upon a scene of agony, excitejuent n:id grief, which even the great crime of ltG5 could not parallel. And the. horrors of the scene were by no -means lessened by the knowledge that a blunder, surely in this case almost Svorstf than a crime," had caused the death of from twenty to thirty persons at the least, and inllicted maimings and iajurics upon fifty or sixty more. The evidence, as found in official records, appears conclusive that as long ago as 1SS5 this building, which "the government purchased after the 3iasassi nation, and used us an army museum was officially declared by congress an unsafe depository for even the inanimate skeletons, mummies and "book of the army medieal museum, for which a safer place of storage was .provided by act of congress. Itut notwithstanding the fact that fn the public press and in congress also .attention was called to the bulging rMTfJl-j. its darkness and general unsuit.abillty. it continued to be used for the dajJj-eJHploymentof nearly .i00 government clerics of the pension division of the war ollice. So the comforting asiterance is given that while thirty clerks may have lieen killed the penHiau records are all saved and uninjure A. The."bnTlding collapsed in the midst of an Hl-judged effort to remedy some of ita defects. The moral of the disaster, if there is any, is emphasized by the fact that there are two government buildings the printing office and the LV'St.lih. Ii. 1.1 !. .. ...... . nt . . . department, each containing many wore employes than were caged in Ford's theater death-trap, which are in an equally dangerous condition. Tlio hour of the disaster was very Ähortly after the departments had settled down for the day's work. The workmen had begun operations, and tlie.se were the iuunediate cause of the Vatastrophc. Half an hour earlier and few lives would have been lost, Nünning directly through all of the floors and in the middle of tho building -was a light wallten feet or more long and nearly as many wide. The fall area was in front of this, having a space of six or seven feet in width undisturbed on either side. The entire lack part of the building containing more than half of the lloor space remained intact. There were many very narrow escapes from death. A narrow a-ow of clerks whose desks rested entirely upon the Hue where the floors 'imke away saved themselves, while the 'Araks at which they sat were pre -cipitifttd down the awful chasm. Others were walking across tho room, heard an ominous sound, and stopped 311st at the very threshold of death. When the crash came those who sur--vived heard a mighty scream of an guish from their comrades as they 3tnkont of sight, and then groping in ' the darkness they found their way to Bifety trembling in every joint and the palor of death in their faces. 2o women were employed in the building, but in a few minutes after the crash -came, tin; wives, mothers and daugh ters of the victims lw-gan to arrive. W-iUtin livery few moments a hundred or more men. stripped for police work. jumped into the building and ln-gan tbrowinir out the wreckage in front und the floors which remained stand iinr in the rear. Most of those who vv ere taken out of the ruins were car ried to the Emergency hospital, and aix'int 10:150 o'clock the dead and in lured begau to arrive faster than the ' covps of surgeons could attend to their injuries. Carried in on stretchers they were dimmed at the most convenient nlae.es. Those who were the most se riously injured were attended to.whilc the others, groaning and crying from '.the pain of broken limlrs, lay limp und -'üci,erhiiijr the doctors to dress their wounds. Shortly after tho arrival of the lirst, the crowd began to assemble in front of the. building, many of them -Im-Ihl- the wives, (lnugliters aim rem lives of the unfortunates.

They had to remain outside .for some time, as the force and facill- j tics of the physicians were unequal to -the emergency. As quickly as the surgeons, who were shortly reinforced by the young men graduates of tho city, could do so, tliey examined nnu uresscu , the wounds, and they were sent up- j talrs to more comfortable quarters.

room thev shortly expired. Charles S. Miller and .1. llrad donea were among them, while the othar was a young man nlout , 2(1 years old. The first two were horribly mutilated but the last one did not bear an apparent trace of even iin abrasion. At the other hospitals and in the drug stores adjacent to the accident similar scenes were being enacted. An incident of the day was the number of elergy, who, on hearing of the disaster, flocked to the scene. Utterly regardless of their own safety thejy entered the building, the rear walls of which were warningly bulging out, and ministered to the dying and injured. Ministers of all creeds were present. The hairbreadth escapes narrated by the survivors were numWrless. The last man taken out of the building alive up to 12:150 was Capt. Dowd, of Indiana. He was found near tho southwest corner of the building. covered to a depth of two or three feet with brick and mortar. He had lain there for three hours, but a beam had lodged near him in such a position as to break the fall of the brick and timbers, and when lifted up he raised his , hand showing that ho was conscious. When he was lifted into the Uarnclil hospital ambulance the crowd saw that he was alive and cheered again and again. lletween 10 o'clock and nowi the am bulances were kept busy carrying ( away the dead and injured. Ml. during the long hours while the workmen were using all their strength to rescue such as were not past help. the mothers, sisters and daughters of those that had gone down hovered tfround the front of the building, and with streaming eyes inquired of ail whom they met for some tidimjs of their dear ones. Some could hardly bo , restrained from pushing their way into . the building. A look into the interior tells a sick ening tale of how some were taken and others left. Desks are seen half top pling over the brink of the broken lloor, others stand upright, but the chairs which sioou oesiue uiem ana their occupants went down with tho crash. i The president was informed of the sad event just as he reached the en trance to the White House by one of the clerks, and he at once interested himself in relief measures, learning with satisfaction what had been done by Assistant .secretary of War (Srnnt. who came over to the White . House before noon. Surgeon-General Sternberg went at once to the scene of disaster upon hearing the news, as did Dr. Ainsworth, who is the chief of the records and pension division. One company of troops was placed under the direction of Chief of Police Moore. The second company wan intended for fatigue duty which meant they were to assist in the work of rescue and In bringing out bodies. , (Jen. (irant received reports from time to time and on those he based the hope i and belief that the calamity would , prove to be less in extent than bad at first leen feared He says that the rolls showed that the full force employed in the buiHiag numbered 514 persons. A num Perot inese were aosent on leave because f illness, so that probably not more thwn 400 or 4."0 per- ( sons were in the buiTding when tfce crash came. Then as only half of the floors fell the numler of persons who went down was furtherr reduced and by those who actually ewsiped with .slight injuries or without" Imrra. Shortly after midday Mj. Moore, chief of olice, notified the .argeon in charge that all of those takerc from the ruins from that time lorwaro -jvoiiiu De sent to the I mted States nttval Iiomnital. where three wards had IWvu pre- ..... pared to reeeu e tlie injiirtil.

The district , burned comprises the test part of Farcomprise go. in a general waj it is uounued oy the Western Union office and the UeadqiinrSers hotel, the Great Xorthern depot, ami along the line of the (Sreat Northern track to the river. The principal business streets of the city lie within that district, und the finest bbvksnre in ashes. In that part of the city there are also residences, and these went down before the flames. Some of the buildings in that part of the city are frame structures and these offered small resistance before the rush of flame sent against them by the gale that was blowing at the rate of thirty miles an hour. At one time it was feared that the tire would pass the barrier of the river, but fortunately it failed to do so. Morehead & Co. have thrown open their hotel to people who have suddenly teen made homeless. The loss cannot now be estimated.

Hut no sooner had he left than it was seen that a reformation enforced by the civil power, rather than the fruit -of individual conviction, had no permanent vitality. The tithes due to the temple, the Levites and the priests were not delivered, ami the greatest distress was thus caused to all who de- I nendedon them for maintenance. lublie worship was thus interrupted, and J the temple, forsaken bv its ministers, was neglected by the people. The Sabbath was profaned, both in town and country; wine presses were busy in its sacred hours, and the roads and fields dotted with the workers taking sheaves to tlm barn on their heavily laden - asses. Jerusalem itself was disturbed by a Sabbath fair, to which loads of wine, grapes, ugs, ana mucn eise ere carried in during the sacred hours. ... , . z. l ,i ...nin Phoenician fishermen exiosed for sale their catch off the coasts, and traders from Tyre displayed their countless wares. After all the professed zeal to put an end to mixed marriages, things were rapidly drifting to almost a worse condition than of old. Xot a few husbands had deserted their Jewish wives for Philistine, Ammonite, or Moabite women. Thus we realize the deep and pcrY3f.ive moral need of a Redeemer from sin for the Jews. We see their need of a king, a great ruler whose law should be- righteous and should be cAnwed, and who would deliver them frn the power of their enemies, who were many and powerful aud oppressive on every side. They did not need a Smnporal king, for even ia the Old Testament fhi ideal government was a aepublic, with God in Heaven as the MPpreme ruler, and His eouimandnients for their constitution and laws.
