DISASTER WAS PREDICTED.
The building which fell had been In the
course of erection for the
past two months.
It wns to have been is.n
occupied when
com-
plcled as a foundry. Ever slnco the founda
tion , was laid there have been complaints ati
every side that the structure was weak and
flimsy , and many had expressed the belief
tjial U would fall before the roof could be
j > ut on. These
were certainly not far from
wrong , for the roof'had not been completed
ten ' hours when the crash came. It was at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon that the last
nail was placed In the
roof and then there
were great rejoicings. The workmen put
five or six flags up so that the bright stripes
would hang over the street , nnd two kegs
of beer wpfo taken up lo the top Btory tote
add to the general rejoicings.
To this morning's disaster there seem to
have been two eye witnesses , and the ry
they tell agrees In every particular.
Thomas Walsh Is the watchman at
Hcckcr's stables In the rear of the house
which fell. It - '
was Just 3-30 o'clock when
the disaster occurred. It was a wild night ,
The rain fell ID torrents nnd the wind blow
ft gale. The watchman
says that there was
a sort of mysterious half light In the air ,
which ha can not describe. By it , through
the blackness of the night , he saw , as ho
was preparing to make his round of the
ittablc , the- side wall of the big new buildIng -
Ing and the slanting sheets of rain as they
beat down upon it.
"I'll never forget that sight , " says Walsh.
Even as ho looked there came a change ill.In
the appearance ot the sldo of the wall , It
seemed to take the form of a big black line
suddenly appearing diagonally across U from ,
the top to bottom. Bcloro Walsh could
realize that the dark line was a crack In the
wall there wns a low rumbling sound and
tha seven-Btory building crumbled before his
eyes For n moment Walsh stood nmazed.
A cloud of dust went up , but the pelting
rain blotted It out
before tha watchman
could recover himself enough to re-enter the
stable.
Walter J. Bryan of 77 Monroe street -was
returning to his home , and he stood at the
corner of PIke and Monroe streets , fifty
feet away , whrn the building felt. Ho saw
the big crack In the wall , too , and saw the :
building topple for an Instant before It
fell.
fell."That
"That building. " said this witness , "was
moro badly put up than any that was ever '
put up by Buddcnnlek. " Buddcnsclk Is the
man tit t went to the state's prison for
eighteen jears for using sand In the build
ing of houses Instead of mortar.
HI3ARD CRIES FROM THE RUINS.
When policemen patrolling In the vicinity
reached the icisno of the catastrophe , railed |
thither by the nolso of the falling building ,
they found extending halt way across the
street a mass of debris. On top of It , thirty
feet above the etri-et level , two men and I a
woman vvr-ro making an effort to reach ( the
street , whllo from the pllo camet muffled
cries for help that told of the people mere -
jirUoned beneath the mass. Calls wrro
tent In for fire engines and ambulances. In
the two-story house there lived two families ,
that of Isaac Abrahams consisting of ten
persons. Including Mr. Abrahams' mother
nd brother. In the upper part of the
house lived Michael Korends and his wife ,
ttiolr son David and Ids vvlto. two other
ons named Solomon and Abraham , a daugh
ternnlo and two boarders , Jacob Abrn-
hiiins and George HoblnovlU.
The three-story house to the north , vomo
of the occupants ot which were also injured ,
bad on the ground floor ( he family ed.of
Michael J. McOuIrk , conBlitlng of five people ,
ill of whom slept In the extension , which
wus crushed in. All of them , however , es
caped uninjured. On Iha second floor there
la the family ot Joseph Brady , consisting erof f
himself , his wife and four children , and one
boarder All of these were bleeping In the
extension. They were pinned In their beds
when the cranh came. All of them were moro
or lets Injured but the little boy , Joseph
Brady , Is the most seriously hurt. Ills head
wus caught beneath a beam and crushed
and his left leg was broken ,
The peop'e , ns fast as they were rescued ,
were taken Into the Grammar school near by
nnd attended by doctors from the hospitals.
These who were most badly Injured were
taken to the hospitals , where they could re-
cclvo moro complete treatment. The bricks
anil wooden beams and stones lay In ono
compact mass. To add to the horror of It
all , there wore the constant cries of the pco-
po ! Imprisoned beneath tha mass , Imploring
the men to hurry and get them out. In the
midst of the crlci there came the voices
of children nt times , Once there was a
weak voice raised In prayer.
The first body , that of Uerltm Kooncs , was
taken out Just after 4 o'clock. Half an hour
later the firemen came upon 8-year-old Alex
ander Abrahams In a cramped position In ono
corner of what had been his sleeping room.
The- boy could talk to tha men ami he said :
"Don't mind me. My mother and father nre
back of rno somewhere , " but the men worked
on and In ten minutes they had the little
fellow free and one of the men carried him
In his arms Into the school house He did
not seem to bo Injured In the slightest par
ticular.
The second corpse recovered was taken from
the rear of what had been the Ino-story
building. It was that of Meyer Stelnnnn ,
aged 31 years. The body of Abraham Kooncs ,
aged 9 , wns taken out , and an hour later
that of Mrs. JennieStelnman , mother of
Meyer Stelnman , was recovered.
Abrahams and his brother Maurice , who
were dug out of the ruins , told ot their ex
perience. Louis said that he vent to bed
Just a half hour before the building fell.
He had just fallen asleep and suddenly the
crash came. He felt something strike him
and ho fainted. When ho regained con
sciousness ho found himself pinioned to his
bed. A heavy piece ot timber was over
his breast. Ills brother was lying by his
sldo and was also pinioned. They talked
together until rescued by those ou the out
side. The Injuries of the men are not
serious.
Louis AnronvUtz. the owner of the build
ing , was brought Into the Essex Marhqt po
lice court this afternoon.
"Who Is the prisoner , and what Is the
charge ? " aMced Justice Ilogan.
"Ho Is thi ; onncr of the building on Mon
roe street that collapsed this morning , "
answered the policeman.
"Wo hid a pretty hard storm this
morning , " said the Justice. Out west
when a cyclone blows a building
down It Is not a usual proceeding to
arrest the owner. Ilowover , wo will set the
prisoner's examination for Friday , and In
the meantime he will be placed on parole. "
Though the police have been looking for
Peter J. Walsh , the contractor who erected
the building , they have ns jet been unable
to nnd him. It Is alleged that the mortar
used In the work had too much sand In It
to hold the bricks.
Contlnuiillon of thn Story of Corruption
mill Itrlbcry.
NEW YORK , Oct. 10. For the third tlmo
slnco the Lexow Investigation commenced ,
Chief Counsel Goff today produced evidence
to show that threats have been made to
put an end to witnesses who have appeared
before the senators conducting the Investiga
tion. Samuel Kautfman , a tailor's sales
man , gave the iubstanco of a conversa-
tlon which he claims took place on an cle-
vnted train Just after Policeman Corcoran
left the witness stand Monday , Corcoran
was alleged to have asserted "he would make
those witnesses as dead as a door nail , " and
tint ho would "lay for them some dark
night. " The witnesses supposed to be re
ferred to were Qulnn and Friend. By those ;
persons Corcoran was accused of belris a
"clubber. " The policeman with Corcoian
had advised him not to talk so loud , and
told him to wait until the Levow committee !
had finished Its Investigation before making
the attempt.
Patrick Kelly , an iron worker , reHted a
story of going to sleep He was awakened
by n policeman going through his pocltets.
The name of the officer ho thought was
Thorow. Ho accused the policeman of ab l
stracting no cents , but the officer only
laugtud at him and pushed him along , tell i10
ing him to "move on. " He reported the
matter to the police station , and ho asserts
that a ( lay or two after this he was as
saulted by the policeman , who finally nr-
rcsted him. Ho was fined $ r > on the testimony l-
lw
mony of the policeman. Since the Lexow
Investigations had commenced the captain
of the nighty-eighth street station had bent
for him , ho alleged , and told him there isle
a Job waiting for him at the statfon. Ho
did not go to see the captain about It.
Vernon H. Brown , the general agent of
the Cunanl line , admitted that he had paid
(10 weekly to the officer In charge of the
Cunard wliarf.
John II. Lemon , a young man , who at
tended the French ball , testified that Su-
per.ntendent Byrnes and a number of police
officials were preterit at the ball. They
dlil not make any protects against the low
conduct of the persons assembled there.
William II. Jemorau , president of the
AH In Manufacturing company , testified toe
pajlng Detective O'Connor $100 for the re
covery of stolen goods from the pawn ,
brokers.
Vincent M.-Jowf-kl , who conducted a policy
shop , told of the tribute exacted by the po
lice. He claimed that there were seventeen
or eighteen'bankers In the city and that
they arranged with the police for the tcr-
rltor > they should work. Letters were read
which are alleged to have passed between
Majouskl and Polled Captain Western elt.
In these letters ( hero were constant refer

SHANGHAI , Oct. 10 Various local rumors
nrn In circulation , the most , prominent being
that 40,000 Japanese troops liavo landed near
Shan-Hal-Kwan , on the boundary between
the Chinese provinces of Manchuria nnd
Chl-LI , at the eastern end of the great wall
which traverses China. The telegraph wires
have been cut , thus hindering communication
with that district. A report which Is classed
hero as unreliable- says that the Japnneso
have effected a landing near Now Chwang ,
gulf of Loao-Ton , It Is reported that several
warships have been sighted oft Takauar.
A dispatch received from Tlen-Tsln today
states that the British and Russian ministers
have arrived there and that they will pro
ceed at once to Peking.
Another report which reaches this city
Is that after a skirmish which took
plnco north of the Yalu river yesterday the
Japanese outposts were driven back across
the river. Advices received hero from Port
Arthur siy that the repairs to the Chlneso
fleet which was engaged in the battle o't the
Yslu river have been completed and that the
licet will proceed to sea tod/iy.
Shan-Hal-Kwan , where the Japanese are
reported to have landed 40,000 troops , Is di
rectly on the rallroid building from Tlen-
Teln to Mookdcn and Is of great strategic
Importance. In fact , the opinion has been
oxproised that If Shan-Hal-Kwan is cap-
tuicd there Is nothing to prevent the Jap
anese from marching on Peking. A Japanese
fleet was reported to have been sighted off
Shan-Hal-Kwan September 29.
LONDON , Oct. 10. A dispatch from Shang
hai says that It Is stated there on good au
thority that a large force of Japanese has
been landed near New Chwang at the head
ot the Gulf ot Leao Tong and that the cap
ture of that place within a few days la re
garded as Inevitable.
Information from Yokohama Is to the effect
that a majority of the Japanese ministers
have decided against Issuing a foreign loan ,
but decided upon a second war loan ot $50-
000,090 to bo raised In Japan. Thla , with
the proposed additional taxes , will bring the
governmental fund up to about $130,000,000 $
WASHINGTON , Oct. 10. It Is said at the
State department that American and other
CO Is more seriously menaced by the
de of the Chinese government to Im
pose a tranblt tax on goods than by anything
that has occurred sines the war began This
tax Is viell known to diplomatists under the
name of lekln. It Is a species of Internal
revenue tax and Is placed on all goods or ex
ports passing through China. It Is a terrible
restraint upon commerce , for it Is levied re
peatedly at every town through which the
Ptgt
goods pass , and accumulates with rapidity
to a total that Is actually prohibitive upon
a large class of goods , which our merchants
' have Just succeeded In Introducing after pain
ful efforts Into the Interior of China. For
fifty ! jears all of the commercial powers have
been united In the effort to secure its aboli
tion They finally obtained from the Chinese
government an agreement by which Imported
goods ' should be taxed only once , upon entry ,
and the lekln was abolished to the great
benefit of trade. If It Is again to be- Imposed
fear Is expressed that It will be almost a per
manent tax , as even In the event of a speedy
restoration ot peace the revenue derived will
be needed by the Chinese government to pay
the enormous war duty that will certainly be
exacted b > Japin.

YORK. Neb , Oct. 10. [ Special Tele
gram. ) ! ! . Rosewnter. editor ot The Omaha
Bee- , addressed a large crowd ofoters at
the court house this afternoon. The meeting
was held In the court room , and between
400 and 500 people were present. Every
available foot ot standing room was occu
pied , and several hundred were turned nvvay
because they were unable to gain admission.
Judge Moore , n life-long republican , nnd a
member ot thu constitutional convention of
1871 , presided at the meeting. In Introduo-
Mr. Rosewater , Judge Moore said that
it was with great pleasure ho presented tea
a York audience a man who , although not
as old as many In the audience , had been
a llfc-lonff republican , -whose Integrity had
never been Impeached , whose lojalty to the
Interest of his state had never been ques
tioned ; a man who had served with the
Union armies , whose patriotism vvns of the.
highest character.
Mr. Rosewater was greeted with enthusi
astic applause when he arose to speak. In
cluded In the audlenco were may men who
wore conspicuous blue badges , upon which
were printed the name of T. J. Mnjors. Mr.
Rosewnter alluded to these badges , and said
that for centuries blue had stood ns the
ba of both royalty and losally. Blue -was
th badge of the English Georges , whoso op-
resslve measures provoked the American col
onies to revolt , nnd blue wns the emblem
of loyalty ndopted b > the colonies alter they
had dedicated American soil to freedom.
Blue was the badge of loyalty In the dirk
day of Iho rebellion , -when the best men
this nation has ever produced donned that
color and followed the Hag through to the
successful termination ot a war that estab
lished freedom and liberty forevei In the
United Stoles. It the blue worn on the
coats of the men before him today stood
for the loyalty of the republican candidate
lor ( govenor to honest administration of
state government ; If It stood for a clean
record , If It stood for the people against the
corporations , then he had nothing to say.
"Hut , " continued the speaker , "it the blue .
be stood for servility to corporations ; if
th represented n candidate whose election
would subject the people to a continued dom
ination of railroad and other corporations ,
then all true men , loyal to the common
wealth , and loyal to the people's interests ,
should cease to wear the badges. "
stC
CORPORATION < CONTROL IN NEBRASKA.
Mr Roscwater rapidly sketched the growth
ol corporation domination In Nebraska , be-
Klnnlni ! ! with the light made against the
adoption of the constitution ot IS71 That
constitution , he Raid , contained two provi
sions obnoxious to the railroads. Hired
mercenaries In the employ ol the corporations
tiavcled up and down the state , urging
people to vote against the adoption of that
constitution , and even the ministers of the
gospel were Induced to woijc against It. It
was , clearly a case , declared the speaker , In
.which the livery ot heaven was borrowed
with which to servo the devil In.
After the rejection ot the constitution of
1871 , the people commenced an agitation
for relief , and from every part of the state
went up a demand for a constitution which
should ctirb the greed of corporate Interests.
In 1S7G i constitution made and adopted
which the people long demanded right ot
regulating railroads and other corporations-
ami yet It took seventeen jears lo carry the
provisions o that constitution Into cllect.
/The legislature of 1693 did pa s a maximum
law. but It has been hung up In the federal
courts.
Turning to another branch of his subject
Mr. Rosewater showed up the methods by
wh'ch the railroads have been enabled to
control the workings of both the democratic
and republican parties. He showed how-
cabinet officers were chosen from the rail
way contingent ; how Tobias Castor , the B
& M. right-of-way man , had been entrusted
with the distribution ot federal patronage lu
Nebraska ; how the United States marshal-
ship had been given to a man who owned
eleven elevators along the B & M. line In
Nebraska ; how the internal revenue collec-
torshlp had been given to Jim North , for
he Is the recognized leader of the railroad
democratic faction. Mr. Rosewater was
equally severe In his exposition of railroad
methods In republican politics , and declared
that unless the railroad bosses were rebuked
this year the party would bo lost and that
the vote of Nebraska would not be found In the
republican column In the next presidential
campaign.
At the close ot the address scores ol
voters crowded around Mr. Rosewater and
congratulated him over the fight he wan
making for good government and the re
demption of the republican party.
YORK IS STILL LOYAL.
In the evening Nobe's opera house was
packed to suffocation long before the hour
of 8 o'clock arrived. Mr. Rosewater ap-
pened a few moments before that hour and
was Introduced to the large audience by J.
W. Purrlngton , a republican attorney of
York. In beginning his address Mr. Rosewater -
water said that he haj lived In Nebraska
thirty-one years , yet this wns the first tlmo
he had visited York for the purpose o (
making a political address. He was agree
ably' surprised. He had long known that
York was ono of the gems of Nebraska. It
was settled by Intelligent men. principally
old solders , that It had been for jcaru re
liably republican , and from his own stand
point he had believed that party was com
posed largely of a superior class of loyal
American citizens The people ot York nnd
York county , he eald , had long been reputed ;
to bo sober , industrious and moral , and
to believe In the round prin
ciples of good government. After
being In York a whole day he
was convinced that the people of this city had
not changed their principles , and that they
are still just us loyal to the cause of good
government. In recent years , the speaker eald ,
there had been a line of demarcation between
the people and their former political affilia
tions. Before the year 1S30 , York county
had 1 1,000 republican majority. Since that
year the republicans are barely able to carry
the county. What has brought about ( his
change In York county ? Was It calamity ?
Was It hard times ? Was It caused by a sud
den craze for paper money , or. was not the
change brought about because ( he people of
York county had risen In revolt against the
methods ot the party rulersVos It not
because I they wanted to | irotet against he
methods by which conventions were ed
and slates made up ? Was It not because of
the I extravagantly high rates for transporta
tion I charged by the railroad corporations
that I dominated the republican party ?
IHRTH OP ANTI-MONOPOLY.
The speaker related a conversation lie had
with Martin Hughltt , president of the Chicago
cage & Northwestern railroad , at RO
two years ago. During the Interview th
Hughltt a procession of 20,000 laboring en
pasied by on the street below.
"There go the men that govern ( his coun |
try. " remarked Iho railroad president.
"Yes , when you let them , " was the reply , '
The speaker then related the full conver-
satlon with Mr. Hughltt , telling him how-
the anti-monopoly party originated
In Ne
braska , The anti-monopoly sentiment itla
Nebraska had Its origin In the practice laof
railroad managers In distributing annual
passes to attorneys , doctors and newspaper
men In every small town along the line.
This practice aggravated the people , and
they began to combine against corporate
methods. Thus the unit-monopoly parly had
its origin In Nebraska. The railroads , eald
the speaker , were among ( lie great civil-
tiers of Iho age. They were a necessity illto
our growth and commerce , But there was
no good reason why they should supercede
the people In the government of the state
otul nssumo all the functions' ' of paternal
cire , leaving us merely to ratify the nUlon
ot the rulers they select and the IrgUtnturrs
they elect. The people ot Nebraska had btxti
compelled , to submit for > ears to railroad
control In ( heir state Rovcrncmnt. Some
times they hnvo registered a mild protcal.
The whole history of corporate domina
tion In party government was recited b.Icily ,
and Majors' record as a continent congress
man , ns a member of the legislature nml
as lieutenant governor wns thoroughly ex
pose every charge against him being sup
ported by documentary evidence * which
every man In the nuSlcnco was invited to
Inspect It ho cared to.
DUTY OP TIIK VOTERS
In coneluslcn , the speaker stated tint ho
wished to address himself to democrats nnd
republicans alike. Ihey had a higher dtit )
to perform than to merely vote their party
ticket. Their duty to their state Is higher
than their duty to their party , their st-cret
societies or the churcli. When they cast
their ballots on the Oth of November , they
should perform n f.icred duty , purge the
legislature , rcbuko venality In state of
fices and strike n blon for
liberty of Individual action ami
freedom of political conscience He paid a
hiRh tribute to the honesty and personal
worth ot Judge Holcomti , refuted the false
Impressions sought to be made by the al-
legcd business men's combination at Onmlui
and gave thn results of a personal visit to
the principal cities ot Kansas , where he In-
vestlgatrvl for himself the stories that Kan
sas had ben financially ruined by popul si
rule. He appealed to the } oung repub
licans of the slate. In 1SC1 , he said , the
young republicans went Into the war , not to
fight battles to tave a nation that it might
bo governed by corporate power , but In
order that they might preserve the rights
ot free men , free speech and ( reo soil.
