I went into it to hold up the market. It

It is believed In mercantile circles to

amounts will probably reach $4,000,000.
The profits of the opposite faction are of
course correspondingly gr°at, several
well known firms being reported
to have cleared enotmous sums. The clos

August, $9.90. The July figure closed last,

The Merritt* did not play such a close

PATRICK JORDAN'S DRATH.
The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury—More
Railroad dates Needed.
The jury summoned by Corouer Smith
Saturday to examine into the cause of the
death of Patrick Jordan, on Friday, from
injuries received at the Fourteenth street
crossing of the P., W. & B. railroad
Tuesday last, was comprised of the follow
ing: H. B. Melntire. James Danby, William
B. Hickman, Daniel B. Woodward, William

where they were duly sworn and orgamz* d
by electing H. B. Melntire foreman, and
W. 8 McNair secretary.

though he did not ktrow whether Jordan
heard him or not. The latter wh'pped up
hi6 horse and afterward the witness called
to him to whip up and he did so, though
he appeared confused. The train was going
toward Wiliningtou, and Jordan was on the
opposite side of the horse from the
train. He only knew the
slightly. The whistle began to blow
about half-way between Brandywine
Station and the Fourteenth street crossing,
and the horse was on the track when trie
whistle began to blow. The witness did not
kuow whether or uQt the whistle blew before
the train passed the station. There was r.o
ilagman at the crossiug and the the train
was running pretty fast, over six miles an
hour. Jordan was coming westward toward
Clay mont street when struck, fell ou the
sidewalk, while the cart was thrown over
him. The man paid no attention to wit
ness's warning and could have seen the train
coming if he had looked. He was within
fifteen feet of the track when first called to.
If he had been two feet further ahead the
train would not have struck him. The train
slacking up when it struck and the
hindmost car was not passed when it stopped.
Thomas C. Riddle was present at the time
of the accident and was going toward Jor
dan while Hammond was going away. The
latter spoke loud enough for the witness to
hear a little pieee off when he called out,
"you cannot make it," and afterward,
"hurry up." Jordan urged on his horse,
which was on the first rail of the first track
when the whistle blew twice or three times
for him to get out of the way. The witness
watched the mau with the cart and the en
gine to see the result. The cart was on the
second track and the driver was urging on his
horse when the train came upon him aDd shut
ofi the view of the witness. When the train
stopped the last car had gone ahead far
enough to enable the witness to see the man
by looking crosswise from the other side of
the track. Jordan lay with his face on the
ground and several train hands came to him
immediately aud he was turned over on his
back and orders were given to remove him
to Wilmingtou in one of the

the house near by. Jordan could have
stopped his horse and backed down out of
danger if he heard Hammond's warning.
Jordan's view of the approaching train was
obstructed only by his horse and the station
building. The train was running at a rate
of 10 or 15 miles au hour. The wit
ness and Hammond were each about 15 feet
from Jordan and the latter must have heard
Hammond's warning unless he was hard of
hearing as witness had heard it reported.

THE FATAL CHUSH ON THE STAIES
One Hundred and Eighty-Six Childr«

point, while the man«- of children were push

able to rise, owing to the others crowding
The result was that a great number
Were pushed down, trampled on and suffo
cated.
The scone was terrible, and no effort could
6top the wild rush ot the affrighted children.
They came ou pell meil, though, strangely,
without shouting, and soou 178 of them
were knocked down and suffocated to death
by others trampling upon them. The greater
number of the bodies, which were badly
mangled by the trampling, laid seven or
eight deep. Many of the victims aud others
who were not killed had their clothing torn
from their bodies, and this, together with
the bleeding bodies of the unfortunates,
shows the terrible nature of the struggle.
Tiie ages of the 178 children kuown to have
been killed ranged from four to 14 years.
The terrible calamity is the subject of
universal comment. The hall has been sur
rounded to-day by distressed and excited
crowds. The stairway from the gallery
the top landing of which occurred the p
entirely cleared
1200 of the
rushing duwu stair* from
, at
pres
which led to the accident, was from
five to six feet wide, and the gallery door,
through which the children were allowed to
pass only one at a time, which circumstance
Is regarded as the direct cause of the ca
lamity, was fitted with a bolt which lodged
in a hole in the floor, thus Darrowiug the
passageway for the purpose of facilitating
ticket-taking when the audience was enter
lug the hall.
I he janitor says the scene behind the gal
lery door was fearful. Some of the chil
dren were upright in a heap and actually
gasping lor breath, so great was the pres
sure of the crowd behind them. The ma
jority of the children iu the hall were under
12 years of age. When the accident hap
pened the jauitor and his wife and several
hastily summoned bystanders went to work
immediately to give the suff'rers relief.
They first sent out of the building by other
exit ways the little ones who were still iu
the hall, by this means averting the fears of
a f urther crush.
Those who went to the rescue of the un
fortunate sufferers found the work of re
moving the heap of bruised, crushed and
suffocated bodies no easy task. Two hun
dred children weie rescued from the pile,
uoue of whom were seriously, if at all, in
jured. Many others were found in an un
conscious condition, but of these a number
were restored aud immediately taken to
their homes. Nearly all of those who were
dead, with a number whose wounds were re
garded as fatal, were laid out in the main
bail, where the local doctors in attendance
used every effort to restore those in whom a
spark of life cpuld be detected. One eye
witness states that he saw lying on the flag
stoues, a short distance from the bottom
of the stairs, the dead bodies of seven chil
dren. Many of those who came to assist in
removing the dead and rescuing the living
were utterly overcome by the distressing
sight of so mauy dead and dying children.
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-81X DEAD.
A number of deaths have occurred since
the first report, and the fatalities are now
placed at 186. One of the persons who re
sponded immediately to the call for help
says that many who volunteered to assist in
rescuing the children sickened at tiie
spectacle and fled horrified from the dis
tressing scene. The rescuers' first efforts
were directed toward reaching children who
apparently alive, but 60 tightly were
the victims jammed together that it was re
garded &6 dangerous to drag them out of the
helpless mas* lest the effort should result in
pulling off the limbs of living children as
well as mutilating the dead.
They therefore proceeded steadily and
systematically to lift off the topmost. A
lew ot those who were beneath survived.and
their moausand low cries ol pains could be
distinctly heard amid the excitement aud
cries of bereaved parente and triends who
were throneingthe adjacent streets.
Tiie disaster was referred to in all the
churches iu Sundetland to-day and by mauy
the preachers iu London, and prayers
were offered for the parents and friends of
the victims.
The ßtaircase f**om the gallery was a wind
ing one. Both the audience and the offi
cials who were in the hail at the time of the
disaster were unaware, lor some consider
able time, of the tragedy that was being en
acted at the door. They were not informed
until Graham, the hall keeper, who was
strolling near by the 6cene ot the calamity,
w as attracted by the groans aud gave the
alarm.
Mr. Fay, who gave the entertainment,
was busy packing up his apparatus to de
part, when a man rushed up and informed
him ot the disaster, and he immediately fell
down speechless in a fit.
SEARCHING FOR LOST ONES.
Some of the families whose homes were
so suddenly darkened lost over three chil
dren. One man and his wife pushed their
way into the hall in which lay the bodies of
the victims, and, without betraying any
emotion, began toscan the faces of the dead.
Recognizing the lace of oue of his children
the lather, pointing with his finger, ex
claimed, "That's oue." Passing ou again
he recognized another and then a third.
Staggering in a fit of agony he cried, "My
God! All my family gone!" aud, over
whelmed with grief, sank to the floor. In
some homes there
Queen Victoria sent a telegram to-day to
the Mayor of Sunderland expressing her
grief at the occurrence of the occurrence of
the disaster. The children of various Sun
day schools also sent telegrams of sympathy.
Flags were at half mast. One Suuday
school loses 30 scholars by the catastrophe.
Many of the survivors had their arras broken
in the crush. Others are suffering from
broken ribs or rupture of internal organs.
Graham, the ball keeper, says that children
not 20 yards from the door, came pressing
forward unaware of the tragedy.
To-day'* City Court.
Since Saturday morning at 9 o'clock only
five prisoners were lodged in the hall and
they were all caught in a bunch at Front
1 and Poplar streets yesterday morning by
2 Officers Vickers and Cannon. John Dooly,
Michael Guthile and Jonas Heck were each
fined .50 cents and costs. John McGregory
was fined $1 and costs for drunkenness and
