section of the big department store or
the John G. Myers company, In North
Pearl street, collapsed, carrying down
with it over 100 persons. Caught in a
chaos of brick, plaster and wooden
beams, between twenty and thirty
men, women and children met death.
Twelve hours' frantic work on the
part of an army of rescuers disentan
gled fifty people, six of them dead,
and many of the rest badly injured,
Three bodies are in sight, nut many
hours' work will be renulred to got
them out. Anything like a comploto
list of the killed and Injured will bo t
unobtainable until the workers have ,
made their way to the very bottom of.
the mass of wreckage. With few ex-
ceptlons those caught in the ruin.
were employes, a majority of them,
girls.
The collapse occurred shortly after
the opening hour, when barely a score
of shoppers were In the store. Tho
best account of tho event that prob
ably caused the ruin is given by the
head of the crockery department,
which occupied the basement.
"The workmen were sawing at a
wooden floor beam," said he, "which
runs under tho northern end of tho
central pillars in the middle of the
store. Excavation for the cellar was
going on about the base of this pillar
and I believe that jarring or the beam
beneath It displaced the foundation of
the pillar. The first thing I knew two
the counters near the place where
tho men were working began to sag,
and several pieces of glassware slided
off onto the floor with a crash. 1 (
yeueu 10 my ciltks iu run iur uic
front of the store. The words wore
not out of my mouth wlten there came
a creaking and everything around us
began to fall. The wreck came slow
ly, however, and I think everyone in
my department escaped, as well as
the workmen."
The pillars which gave way sup
ported the ends of two giant girders,
and when it fell the main support of
the contrnl part of the building was
gone. With a noise that could be
heard blocks away and which shook
the adjoining buildings, nearly half
the great structure, from cellar to
roof, and extending from one side
wall to the other, came grinding down.
When the fire department arrived they
had plenty to do in rescuing those
who were pinned under the top wreck
age. The volunteer rescuers and fire
men continued the work until ex
hausted, when their places were taken I
oy a wrecKtng lorce, numbering auo
men, from the railroads. These

work of rescue proceeded slowly. It
was estimated that nearly fifty nor-1
sons still remained in the ruins, and !
that not more than half of these could
survive the weight pressing on them.
Fortunately the wreck did not catch
fire. Some 100 persons are still unac
counted for, but fifty of these are cash
boys, of which the firm hns no record.
In ail the company has 400 employes,
but fifty of these are away on vaca
tions. The loss to the company is es
timated at $300,000.
Tho dead' thus far removed from
tho ruins: Michael Fitzgerald, Frank
Leonard, Miss Anna E. Whltbeck,
Miss Minnie Ballard, Miss Alice L.
Sharp, unidentified woman.
Thirty-six employes of the company
wero Injured, three seriously. Be
sides these, five shoppers were hurt.
