with tho main line. Tho accident was singu

.trains within five minutes. It all camo about
primarily through an east-bound train's run
ning on a west-bound track without propor
notification to the telegraph offlcos ahead.
Tho denso fog no doubt nldod In causing tho
disaster.
The wrecked trains were a local freight a
through Boston freight the Long Island and
Eastern Btatos express, and tho Now York boat
train from Norwich. Tho coachos of tho Long
Island express suffered most for tho train

The fog was so thio k ono could scarcely

crashod Into It. The engines struck head on.

The trainmen of tho east-bound Boston
fi eight said Inter that on account of tho fact
that tho horwlcli boat train and the Lonir
Island eprcsB were both overdue they had
received orders at Putnam to proceed east ou
tho west-bound track. Howovor that may be.
tho operator at East Thompson says he had
rocolved no notification of the fact.
Tho wrecked engines and cars lay over both
the east bound and tho wost bound tracks.
Tho trainmen bad scarcely got to their feet,
after' being thrown down by the shock,
whan a sorooch of a locomotive warned

before the train dashed into the pile of wrook
ago on tho truck. It was tho Long Island ex

seen the obstruction, for he reversed his en

mor among the other wreckage, and both
Tabor and bis fireman, Jerry Fitzgerald, wero
instantly killed.
Tho cars of the Long Island express a bng-
S ago car. a smoker, ii passenger coach, and
10 Pullman's Midland nndCnto did not leave
the track. Tho passengers and crow immedi
ately ran out, nil but ono. Tho Midland had
four passongors and after tho shock thoy all
started for the doors. Throo got out, but tho
fourth turned back, for what reason nobody
seem to know.
He had not got far whon thero was another
shriek of a locomotlvo whlntle. and with an
awful crash the fnst boat train piled Itself on
totlfo coaches of the Long Island express,
making a wreck tho appearance of which Is
almost Indescribable. It nil happonod within
throo minutos. certainly within tho. Imme
diately after tho last crash flames broko out
from tho Pullman vctibulo Midland, which
was about the centre of tho wreck. Thoro
woro only twonty-ilvo or thirty nnasengorB on
tho boat train. If thoro had boon any
great number on tho Long Island ex
press thoro would not hnVH boon time for all
to escape, and many would havo shared the
fato of the singlo paiongor who was burned
with tho Pullman, for thoenginoot tho boat
train wont through tho last car fully a third of

made repeated efforts to enter, but were

" The west-bound freight consisted of flvo
cars loaded with brick acd applos. They were

well. Ozmun 4 Kirk, fell In. burying the work
mon benoath the ruins. There were supposed
to havo boon fifteen mon beneath the wall
whon it fell, and tho majority of them were
killed orrecelvod mortal Injuries.
The patrol wagons in tho elty wero sum
moned at onoe. and tho laborers who wore not,
undor tho wall wero set to work excavating'
tho ruins. In less than half an hour thoy had
takon out ton mon. flvo ot whom were dead,
and flvo injured, one so sovorely that the phy
sicians at the soene stated that he could not
llvo until ho roached the hospital. Later the
contractor, Wilcox, was takon out dead, his
body boing mangled beyond recognition.
Tho wounded were takon to the city hospital
in the patrol wagons, and tho doad wore laid
out in tho Great Northern freight house. Hun
dreds ot persons. Including many of the work
men, viewed the bodies.
Lauef. the foreman ot the gang, was about the
building, but was frantic with grief and excite
ment and could not tell tho names ot any ot
tho mon. though ho knew thorn all. Neither
could ho toll the exact numbor ot mon undor
tho wall when It fell.
The cause of tho accident was that tho wall,
which was much weakened by tho fire, became
top heavy from the large amount of debris re-.
moved from the bottom and fell under its own
weight For somo timo it has been considered
dangerous by poople who frequented the
place, but tho contractors who examined It
pronounced It sound, and tho men continued
to work without fear ot accident
There were no groans or cries from the in
jured as the poor fellows wero extricated from
the ruin's. Not one had retained conscious
noBS. Dr. Murphy took charge of the dead and
wounded, and the latter were cared for under
his direction until thoy reached tho hospital.
Tho majority of tho men woro under the south
side ot tho wait and here the heaviest part of
tho wall fell. Only two were taken out from
tho north side.
At 2:45 two more ot the man who were res
cuod died. Building Inspector Johnson was
seen for a moment He said: "I examined
tho walls after the fire, and thought thoy were
solid. My opinion is that the removal of the
dCbrls and excavation from tho baso. together
with the sudden changes ot boat and cold, pre
cipitated tho fall."

The Weather.
The itorm was central yeiterday morning (n the Ike
Snperlor region, moTlnjr northeaetward Into Canada,
nnd was last night In the Canadian province!. It be
came i ery eercre. Its influence being felt from the Ten
'nesice Valley to Canada and from the Pakolaa to the
Atlantic, tbo winds attaining a velocity of from forty
to fifty miles an hour In tbe lake regions, the middle
Atlantic, and New Ingland coaits, with considerable
fog. The barometer recorded Its lowest pressure In this
city at C 30 1'. M , when the wind had a velocity ot
forty eight miles an bour. blowing from tbe southeast.
Heavy rain fell in all the district east of Lake Michi
gan and snow to the westward through Minnesota and
the DaVotas, and at night In tbe lake regions. Decid
edly warmer weather prevailed in tbe Atlantic States
during the day. The temperature was 13 above tbe
mean for the day,
Much colder weather follows the storm and over
spreads the country. To-day tbe temperature In this
neighborhood should be close to freexlng point. The
wave is not expected to be very severe or of long dura
tion as a second deprestlon is already forming In the
Northwest that wilt cause a rise of temperature and
cat orl the progress of any severe cold.
The day was generally fair until tbe afternoon, when
the rain fell heavily between 3 and 8 P. M. Total rain
fall, .45 of an Inch; highest otllcial temperature, 68;
lowest, 44; average humidity, 72 per cent. The wind
changed from southeast to southwest at night nnd be
came colder.

THE ASSASSIN IN WAITING.
Yesterday Mr. Sage, whoso office windows
on tho second floor of tho Arcade building,
Broadway and Bector Btroot. look north
across lloctor street Into Trinity Church
yard, had an appointment with Mr. Charles E.
James, a broker at 7 Nassau street, for l'J
o'olook. Mr. James arrived on time. Ho en
tered the little waiting' room outsldo the gon
oral offlco of Mr. Bage, passod through tho
door in the glass and wood partition, and was
ushorod into Mr. Sage's private office, which
opons Into tho gonorul ofllce. Ho had pnusod
for a moment in tho llttlo waiting room, nnd
had noticod, in a careless way, a mun sitting
in tho small neat with a llttlo black liund
satchel on his knoos. There was nothing ro
markablo in tills rami's npponrunco. Ho woro
a silk hat Ho had a light brown board. He
was respectably drossod, and his black over
coat was buttoned tight
MEN WHO WBBB TIIEKE.
Mr. James stood In Mr. Sage's private office
looking out into tho churchyard. A young
clerk from W. M, Imbrie & Co. of CO Broadway
came Into tho llttlo waiting room. Tills clerk,
whose name Is Frank ltouortson.had In his hand
a certified chock for $0,000 with which ho pro
posed to settle a transaction in C. B. and Q.
stock. Ho announced his business through
one ot the throo little holes In the glass upper
part of tho partition and then sat down to wait
until Col. Joseph J. Blocum, Mr. Sage's brothor-in-law
and cashier, oould attend to him. He,
too, noticed the man witli the hand satchel who
was sitting not far away from him.
Mr. Sage was a little late for his appoint
ment. At about 12:07 o'clock ho came Into
the llttlo waiting room tall, lean, white
haired, smooth shavon. and a bit stooped. Ho
passed at once through tho door in the parti
tion, stopped a moment or two in the general
office to speak to Col. Blocum. and then wont
into his private office to greet Mr. James.
Mr. Sage had three offices, separated by par
titions ot lath and plastering. The general
qfllee had two of the little windows opening
through the glass and wood partitions Into the
waiting room, tbo bookkeeper's office had the
third hole. At 12:15 o'clock there were in Mr.
Sage's private office Mr. Bage and Mr. James.
In his general office were Col. Blocum, Mr. B.
F.Norton, a clerk: Mr. F.J Monde, the ste
nographer; Mr. W. It. Laldlaw, a clerk, for
John Bloodgood A Co., bunkors at 15 Broad
street In tho bookkoopor's room was the
bookkeeper, Mr. Charles W, Osborne, sitting
at a desk just undor tho little window
In the waiting room. In tho Malting room
woro Frank Ilobertson and tho man with tho
hand satchel.
Boon after Mr. Sage had gone into his private
offloo the man with the hand satchel arose and
walked to the window nearly opposite the
door Into the hallway. Mr. Monzlo saw him.
cot up from tho typewriting machine, which
was near tho window, and came over to Inquire
his business.
"$1,250,000 b i but too up."
''Will yon tell Mr. Bage that a gontloman
with a lottor from Mr. nook6fellor wishoBto
see him J" said the man with tho hand satchel.
Mr. Monrie wnlkod Into thoprivnto office,
whero Mr. Sago, was Just entering upon his
business with Mr. James, and deliverod the
message ,
"Just oxoubo mo a moment." said Mr. Sage
to Mr. Jamos, who was now sitting beside his
desk.
Mr. Sago stopped out into the genoral office
opened tho doir in tho partition, and smiled
pleasantly at the man with the' hand satchel.
The mnn, still holding tho satchel In his right
hand, unbuttoned his overcoat and his undor
coat, and draw from an instdo -pocket a long
envelope, which he handed to Mr. Sago. Mr.
Bage took from tho envelope a type-written
document of some length. It sotiorth In a
wild and rambling way that unless nr. Bage at
once gav tho bearerof it $1,250,000 the Wholo
building would bo blown to atoms with adyn
amlto bomb.
Mr. Sage looked up from hts reading onee.
and saw the aueor. gray eyos ot the man flzod
upon him,. He followod .his usual custom of
humoring suoh Insane Individuals, and looked
the document over carefully. Then ho slowly
folded it and put it book In the envelope. Ho
extended this toward tho man, who took it
and put It In his inside coat pocket again.
Mr." Sage smiled cordially -and rathordep
recatlngly at tho man with tho hand satchel
and said: .
" It would take some time (or me to collect
so much monoy as that" , -

"I must have it at once," said the man,
earnestly rather than fiercely, advancing a bit
nearor to the opon'door of tho partition in
which Mr. Sago was standing, and he went on
to rehearse tlys statements set forth In the doc
ument . ' MB. BAQE TRIES TO RBTBEAT. ,
At just this time, when nobody was paying
ny great attention to Mr.' Bage and the man bo
earnestly addressing, him.. Col. Blocum' was

Mr. Sage bowed arid smiled, and. half closing
the partition door, began a slow retreat Bob
crtaon. looking nt the man with tbe satchel,
saw him take some bright object from the fiit
sido pocket ot his overcoat Then he saw the
satohel drop to the floor, just at the feet ot the

AS EITLOSION THAT SHOOK TBE 8TBEET.
When the satchel touched the floor a tremen
dous explosion came."' The floor sank, the coll
ing tottered, partitions burst and fell. Where
thero had been tho well ordered, handsomely
furnished offices there was a wild 'wreck and
chaos witli shrieks ot "Murder I" ringing
through it The building shivered, glass
crashed, the Btroot outside trembled, and a
deep, dull boom, like the confined explosion ot
a hundred cannon, rolled up tho Island to be
heard ovor two mllos and a half away.
SIBECTOrts' ROOM OF TBE MANHATTAN JUTLWAY.
At the shock and sound of the explosion the
crowds on Broadway stood paralyzed with
astonlshmont Thoso opposite Trinity Church
yard lookod toward tho north side of tho Ar
endo building and Raw glass, plastering, laths,
and bits of furnituro shoot from tho windows
ot tli o socond-stonr offlcos to land in tho strnot
bolow. Thoy saw also the rolled-up body of a
man shoot out with tills mass of dobrls to
crash and unroll at tho edge ot the sldowalk.
It was tho body ot Norton, who had been
standing by tho window as tho bomb was
dropped.
TAMO IN TBE JIUILDlNO.
Before anybody could move Mr. Sage ap
peared at ono ot tho windows, CoL Blocum
at anothor, nnd Mr. James at the third. Mr.
Bago soomod about to jump out but as people
callod to him from tho stroot ho stopped from
tho window sill back into tho wrockod rooms.
Whon Policeman Hummcll tried to male his
way into tho first entrance of tho building lie
was halted and driven back hy the stream ot
frantic tenants rushing from the flulldlng with
clothing powdered by tho plaster dust and
faces paled by fright. They were shout
ing and screaming ns thoy darted Into
the street As soon as the flrht paralysis was
over, from ovory direction thero came vast
crowds of men, until Broadway was packed
for throo blocks In either direction by a multi
tude that pushed this way and that with un
controllable strength, seeking the cause of the
earthquake and explosion. Scores of men
rushed for the fire box, and an alarm was sent
in. The police began to unarm at the outer
edge ot the crowd and to beat their way toward
the blocked entrance to the Arcade building.
Meanwhile In tbe wrooked rooms those who
were not dead or unconscious began to look
about for a way ot escape. Col. Blocum and
Mr, Sage walked Into tho private ofllco, where
Mr. Jamos, thrown half siunnod to tho floor by
part ot tho burstcd partition, had risen to his
foot and was looking dazedly about him.
