Cnwxs, Ann. 0. In a good clul-ttpsall brecre,
through white-capped but not tumultuous seas,
the Britannia doff aird the American sloop Vig
ilant to-day, ov era courso of about forty-eight
nautical miles, by " minute and 13 tecondt
actual tlmo and 4 mlnuten and 17 seconds cor
rected time. About half of the contest w
windward work. In which tho British cutter had
decidedly the better of It. She alto showed sur
prising swiftness In running, which la attributed
to surreptitious lightening of ship while she was
In dock last night. The Vigilant on the two
twelve-mile legs of the course, In which the
yachts sailed almost dead before the wind, beat
tho Britannia by 3 minutes and 33 seconds) but
the cutter, In the weather battle, worsted the
Yankee yacht by 3 minutes and 46 seconds.
Orsr the last nine miles of the course, all
Windward tussling, the Vigilant putsled her
admirers by beating the Britannia 1 minute and
87 seconds. In the other fifteen miles of tacking
the Bf Itlsh yacht led the Vigilant by B minutes
smd It seconds. If the centreboarder had shown
the same weatherly qualities in the first part of
the raoe she would hare won the Cowes Town
Cup, valued at $800, with the same ease that she
captured the prixe over the same course last
Saturday. Then she finished In funeral silence.
To-day as the Prince's yacht crossed the line
British throats distended with delirious shouts,
and all the steam yachts shrieked greeting.
This time the white sloop waa also applauded.
She had lost.
There were six yachts entered for the race. In
cluding the Satanlta, but only tho Vigilant and
the Britannia sailed. The wind was brisk from
Ihe west. The course, thetsame as on last Sat
urday, was from the club house of the Royal
Yacht Squadron, off Cowes, to and around a
taark boat off Lepe, thence eastward to and
round the Warner Lightship at the entrance to
Ihe English Channel, and back to the starting
point, twice around. The breeze was not strong
snough to suit the American yachtsmen. It
tnablod the boats to carry their light-weather
topsails. In Saturday's contest It was somewhat
stronger, and ordinary working topsails were
ted. The Britannia got the weather gauge on
the Vankee at the start, and crossed the line two
seconds ahead of her. Time:
IMtannta l(i:H0:03
Vigilant 10:30.03
They crossed on the starboard tack, and a few
minutes later the Britannia went about and
stood over to north-northwest. She retained
her windward advantage, and was, apparently,
better handled than the Vigilant. The Britan
nia waa leading by 1 Imlnute and 40 seconds at
Lepe. The tlmo there was :
rtrltannl 10:54:10
Vigilant 10:3SiB0
The Britannia's spinnaker waa set flying Just
after she rounded, and she was bounding east
ward merrily before the centreboarder had her
big tide sail out. Besides spinnakers the yachts
carried big jib topsail. In the twelve-mile
stretch out to the Warner the Yankee picked up
one minute and seven seconds, Passing the dob
house on the way to the Warner Lightship the
cutter took In her spinnaker. The Vigilant held
to hers. They were timed thus at tho club
house i
Britannia tttOMS
Vigilant 11:03:68
Tho llrltnnnln sent Iter spinnaker out again,
and both yachts held to them until they were
opposite Hyde, where, setting the bree ze more
on the quarter, they gathered In the great sails,
and. later, preparatory to rounding tho Warner
Lightship they hauled down their big Jib top
sails. The time at this point was I
llrltnnnln ttt47s4
Vigilant 11:18:13
With thirty-three seconds In her favor the
cutter tlnshed off on tho port tack for Lepe.
Passing Old t'astlc, off Kan Cowes, It was con
jectured thst thn Britannia was leading by
about four minutes. The Vigilant stood further
Inshore than thn cutter, and apparently was
not lienefited. Tho Britannia made two short
boards hefore rounding Lepe. and the Vigilant
made one. Tho Britannia waa leading by 4
minute and 8 seconds at Lepe. Timet

better of the send-off over McPb.ee and Cum

half a mile, when, on account of the poor mark

NxwronT, Aug. n. With kites flying and ions
of tasting foam bubbling In their wake, the
New York Yacht Club's flying squadron came
dashing Into Newport harbor shortly after
luncheon to-day, and to-night one can almost
walk across the harbor of "America's Cowes," as
this port Is sometimes called, dry shod, so
closely are the boats packed together. Take It
all In all, to-day's trip was by far the most en
joyable run of the cruise. Now that they are
here, there It really nothing for the yachtsmen to
do In this home of cotUgrs, beyond making a few
calls and taking out some of their friends to see
the Goelet Cup races, which are scheduled for
to-morrow. They would not feel that their
cruise was complete, however, without stopping
here at least one day, so the result Is there nre
more yachts at Newport to-day than In any vear
with the exception of last, which was the great
est In the history of the club. The principal
trouble this year has been the rather unequal
classification of the yachts, which has practi
cally killed all Interest In the racing. However,
things were a great deal better to-day, as a num
ber of the fastest boats In the Eastern Yacht
Club Joined the fleet at New London, and several
of New York's crack yachts were forced to suc
cumb to their fleeter Boston rivals.
By far the most Important feature of the
day's run was the presence of that famous old
cup defender. Volunteer, the conqueror of tho
Scotch cutter Thistle. Since her nble defence
of the America's Cup In 1887, the Volunteer
has led a rather checkered career, having been
lengthened and changed Into a schooner In 1801,
and this spring, when Gen. Paine sold her to J.
Malcolm Forbes of Boston, the owner of the
Puritan, she w as changed back to her old sloop
rip. and many thought that when she met mod
ern boats like the Vigilant, Cotonla, and Nava
hoe something might be learned as to the
progress of yacht designing within the pnst
seven yean, lint, nn fortunately, when the Vol
unteer was altered bock Into her single-stick
rig a serious blunder was made In stepping her
mast, which was placed too far amidships to get
the beat work out of her sails, and the result Is
anything but satisfactory to her owner or the
-...tittm ,,,t,lli, m,n,allv
yachting public generally.
While tt was rumored that the Volunteer
would take part In to-day's run from New ton
don, few yachtsmen thought sho would make
the trip against Rear Commodore Royal Phelps
Carroll's Navahoe. and considerable surprise
waa expressed when she camo out to the starting
line with her fighting flag and racing num
ber up. However, start she did, and the
more modern Uerreshoff-butlt boat gave her a
quarter of an hour's beating in a fresh south
southwesterly breezo orer a forty-knot course.
That the Volunteer of to-day represents the old
cup defender In her best form few people be
lieve, especially when It Is taken Into considera
tion that no less than seven schooners, includ
ing the Constellation, Mayflower, Merlin, Em
erald, Marguerite, Palmer, and Ariel, defeated
her, on elapsed time, over the course, which no
one believed would have been possible under
ordinary circumstances. Outside of the per
formance of the Nevahoe the chief interest of
the day centred in the work of the Boston
schooners Constellation and Mayflower, which
Joined the fleet at New London.
It was announced ou tho flagship Shearwater
last night that the start would te made off
Karah's Ledge buoy, at the entrance of New Lon
don harbor at 8 :30 o'clock sharp, and that the
finishing time would be off the Dumplings, in
Newport harbor. As there was no breeze nt the
scheduled starting hour, the preparatory signal
was delayed until 0:10 o'clock, when a nice lit
tle south-southwesterly breeze sprang up. At
0:20 o'clock the single stickers were sent away
on their Journey, followed at a Ave minute In
terval by the schooners. The sloops crossed the
line and were timed as follows:
Naraho 0:KO:3 Waap 0.81:31
Queen Mab 0:21:t1 Kstrlna 9M:00
ilderlm :9I:S1 Aws -V3:o

Volunteer B:1.38 Ooanoon V:VS'SO
Kleanor :lhl:04 Olortana. V:23:M
Eclipse tt.:07
Then came the schooners, headed by the Sham
rock. Their time of crossing was:
Shamrock g.Sil'ao Daimar. 9:87-19
Ariel :VA'SI loyal. W:VS:n
Marguerite o.iftj-ag Majnower tl.V8.to
Elaemarle :37:S4 OeralU ... . V.2U:31
The Constellation, Palmer, Merlin, Emerald,
Neoera, and Triton were handicapped. It was a
close re lie li on the starboard tack to Race Rock
Light, three miles away, and the yachts made
very good time, considering the light wind.
Small Jib topsails and mnlntopmast staysails
were used on the schooners, while the sloops
used almost the same canvas with the exception
of the staysails. The order of the leaders at
Race Rock was Navahoe. Queen Mab, Volun
teer, Ilderlm, Katrlno, Wasp. Glorluna. Ariel,
Marguerite, and Elsemarle. The balance- of the
fleet, headed by the Emerald. Mayflower, Con
stellation, Dagmor, and Loyal were close up,
however.
Even at this early stage of the game It was
seen that the Mayflower and Merlin were mak
ing a great race against tho Emerald, w hlle the
Marguerite was cutting out some fast work for
the Ariel. Among the sloops the Navahoe
seemed to be steadily widening the gap between
herself and the Volunteer, while the Queen
Mab, which had been moved up into the Katrlna
class.more than held herown. TheEcllpaedrew
away from the Eleanor and Orlva almost at tho
start, while, as usual, the Wasp was slipping
gradually away from the Oloriana and Ilderlm,
as waa the Gossoon from the Minerva. Among
the smaller schooners the Elsemarle, on account
of her size, was leaving her competitors to fight
it out among themselves, and right bravely were
the Loyal, Neaera, and Gevalia doing It. As
they passed Race Rock sheets were eased off,
and balloon Jib topsails and malntopmast stay,
sails took the place of lighter canvas. When
near Watch Hill spinnakers came Into play,
and In the freshening breeze the racers made
fast time to Point Judith.
To every one's surprise It soon became appar
ent that the Emerald was not In Itnith the May
flower and Merlin In running, while the Mar
guerite passed tho Ariel. From Watch Hill It
was simply a run before Uie wind, and be)ond
the fact that the schooner passed eterytblngln
the sloop class, with the exception of the Nava
hoe, there was little change In their positions to
the finish. only that the Constellation walked
through the fleet. A black squall, accompanied
by rain, caused the tall-enders to reduce their
canvas toward the finish, but there was no need
of it, for.lu spite of the threatening clouds, there
was not much wind, and the rain killed what
little there was.
Beyond the fact that! the nderim lost her tops
mast aud the Gevalia split her spinnaker and
balloon Jib topsail there were no accidents worth
speaking nf. The winners, according to the
official table, were;
First-class schooners. Constellation beat the
Palmer H minute and S3 seconds; thlrd-clans
schooners, Mayflower beat the Emerald 8
minutes and 9'J seconds, ami the Merlin 8
minutes and 83 seconds; fourth-class schooners.
Marguerite beat the Ariel U minutes and 35
seconds; fifth-class schooners, Elfemarie beat
tho Neoera 1 minute 517 seconds, The Neaera
won second prize from the Loyal
Among the first-clat sloops the Natahoe beat
the Volunteer 16 minutes and tl seconds. In
the third and fourth classes tho Queen Mab heat
the Katrina 8 minutes unil '.'-' seconds. In the
fifth claxa the Eclipse beat Eleanor and Orlva.

what looked like almost certain defeat Into n
brilliant and well-deserved victory. Uoodbody
won the first tn o sets each at 0 t, and he did It
by cool, accurate, and scientific playing. Wrenn
hod been doing his best and hitting the boll as
well as he knew how, but all to no avail up to
the third set.
Both men wero volleying on every opportunity,
and up tn the third set Wrenn had the worst of
It. He then began to win. and as the first few
games came Ills way, he played with Increasing
1 onfidence. It was thought the fourth net would
lie close, but the long mauh had evidently ex
hausted Hood bod) . lite fifth set went to Wrenu
by the score of 0 1.
tloodbody ha been especially asked by the
National Law n Tennis Association to take part
In the national championships, and he will com

EXPERT IITTLE'S REPORT.

COVXT WAtl 3tAt)B VP,
President Relahart'a Attesnyit at Ittetl.
Bratlon-lle Makes No Mention In His
Answer of the Hebate Hystem-State-meats
by Dlreetors MeCook and nanlaa;
The Protective Committee Apoloctaes.
PresldenlJ. W. Itelnhart of the Atchison, To
peka and Ranta Y& Railroad Company sent to the
Itrorganlzatlon Committee yesterday afternoon
his answer tn Kxpert Accountant Stephen Little's
criticisms on his methods of bookkeeping. Mr.
Little charges that during the four years prior
to the present receivership the Income of the
company, Including the Bt. Louis and Han Fran
cisco Hallway, has been overstated tn the
amount of $7,401,000. Mr. Itelnhart has as
serted that he would when the time came fully
refute the charge, and Mr. Little's report and
Mr. Relnhart's answer have been awaited with
Interest In Wall street. Both were made public
yesterday afternoon.
The Reorganisation Committee met at S
o'clock to receive any explanations that the
officials nf the company might cate to offer,
Mr. Itelnhnrt did not attend the meeting In per
son, but sent over a t) pevv rltten statement.
Director John J, MrCook, who Is also a receiver,
and Director Thomas Baring both appeared be
fore the committee and disclaimed any knowl
edge of or responsibility for irregularities In the
accounts.
The report of Stephen Little deals only with
tho overstatement of Income for the four ) ears
ended June 30. and will be followed by a com
plete report of the financial condition of the
company and Its corning capacity. He takes up
first the subject of rebates to shippers, which tn
the four years under reviow he found amounted
to $3,700,770 on the Atchison system and $"0.",
870 on the HI. Louis and Han Francisco, a total
of 3,B00,05ll.
This sum, Mr. Little sajs, "was charged not
to tho earnings from whence It came, as It
should have been, but to an account entitled
'Auditor's Suspended Account-Special,' and
reported from year to )car as a good and avail
able asset, while In fact It had no value what
ever. " Here I would Inform you that tn June, 1801,
the so-called 'auditor's suspended account
special of $1,318,083 ou tho Atchison books,
as above, was credited with $1,(115,110, thus
setting up an apparent credit balance to tt of
$S93,S'J7; In other words, tho $1,01'.',110 -was
capitalized Into the account of 'franchises and
property,' but, for the purpose of this report, I
have reversed the entry, restoring that amount
to the rebates "auditor's suspended account
special') and eliminating It from 'franchises
and property.'
"If this credit of $1,013,1 10 was n proper one,
the appropriate courso for It would have been
' franchises and property,' debtor to operating
expenses. Instead of a reduction of tho rebates
(auditor's suspended account special), although
In the end the effect on the lncomo account
would be precisely the same.
"The 'auditor's suspended account special'
was one of those accounts which, so fsr from be
ing an asset, naturally closed, or should have
been closed, against Income or profit and loss.
The entry by which this transfer of $1,012,110
was made from the rebates 'auditor's suspend
ed account special ') to tho account of 'fran
chises and property' Is In these words, viz.:
Representing net charges to earnings and
operating expenses made after Oct. 1. 18811,
until Feb. 28, 1801, properly applicable to the
operations of the company prior to the new
mortgage indenture, as per telegram J. W. It..
173, 10, 7, '01,' from which It ts made to appear
that charges to this extent hod been erroneously
Included In tbo operating expenses of the re
organized company between the dates men
tioned Instead of being added to the cost of the
road and property. If this view can be sud
ported by facts and figures which so far I have
been unable to obtain, then it would be proper
for me to revise my Judgment as to trie $1,012,
HO.otherwlso I must hold that its transfer from
rebates to capital was Improper."
Mr. Little says he finds that an aggregate of
$2,701,000 was, on instructions from the East,
credited from time to time to the earnings and
expenses respectively, but that these credits had
no foundation In fact. Of thlsaggregate $2,010,
000 was added to earnings and $781,000 do
ducted from operating expenses, the sum of the
two beingdebltcd to Auditor's Suspended Ac
count." There wero two accounts of this char
acter, one termed "Auditor's Suspended Ac
count," which held the "additions to earnings"
and "deduction from expenses," and the other
"Auditor's Suspended Account Special," which
held the rebates.
He says that the sum of $488,000 was In the
prrlod under consideration transferred Improp
erly from operating expenses to Improvements
or capital account, these Improvements being
finally closed Into the account of " franchise
and property." which represents tho cost of the
road and property.
Mr. Little says that a traftlo balance nf $305,
843 due from other companies has been Im
properly carried as an asset, because It Is abso
lutely uncollectible, and that It must now bo
written to the debit of profit and Iom. He says
that the entries thus enumerated, amounting tu
$7,401,500, ahould be written to thn debit nt
profit and loss, except the $1,012,141 for Atchi
son pertaining to the fiscal ) ear, 1HU3-4, which
must go against, or In reduction of, the lncomo
for that year. The accounts that should be
written oft he summarizes u follows:

After thus explaining the nature of false credit
carried In the Income of tho Atchison and St,
Louis and San Francisco ) stems to June 30,
1804. Mr. Little says: ...
"It becomes pertinent now to Inquire how tho
proportion of this amount for tho three) ears
ended June 30, 1803, was treated In the report
of the Atchison Company for tho fiscal ) ear
1803. the latest official issue.
"A t that date, as will bo seen from the tabular
statement accompanying, the amount for the
Atchison system was $0,273,470. and for the M.
Louis and San Francisco system 3337,418, in all
$0,810,8117.

President Relnhart's answer was published by
one of Ihe Wall street news agencies two hours
beforo copies of It could be obtained from the
Heorganlrntlnn Committee. Comments nimn it
were generally unfavorable to Mr. Itelnhart.
He was considered to have fallen far short nt
answering thn charge of overstating the In
come of the company, and it was pointed out
that he entirely Ignored the question of rebates
to shippers. His letter addressed to II. Romers
Hayes, Chairman of the committee, was as fol
lows: "Deaii Sim More than ten weeks ago your
committee, with my hearty approval, selected
Mr. Stephen Little to examine and make cer
tain reports concerning the accounts of the
Atchison S)slrra. These accounts pertain to
many Independent corporations, each having a
separate set of books. During all the time the
entire accounting force of the system has been
at the service of Mr. Little. At 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon your Secretary handed men
copy nf Mr. Little's report, and from 8 letter
shortly afterward received I understand that
you expect me to furnish by 2 o'clook to-day a
statement covering the matters which Mr, Lit
tle has taken weeks tn Investigate,
" As )ou am aware, most of the books of the
system are not kept Iu New York, and I need
hardly say that suth books are not kept by my
self, but by bookkeepers employed for that pur
pe. "The principal charge Is that the Income has,
during the lat four rears, been overstated tn
t he extent of about $7,000,000. The earnings of
tho system for the berlod named amount to
Klmut $180,000,000. There is no chnrge that the
disbursements have been overstated, or that
any dividends or other ))meuts have been
made on the basis of the alleged overstatement
of earnings, and. a they are less than 4 If per
cent, of the total esrnlngs for the period named.
Sou must assume that there Is an entire lack nf
motive fur a wrongful statement. To hnve
stated the earnings at less than the actual fig
ures would have been it ureal Injustice to the
security holders, and particularly to the Income
bondholders.
"In the short hours allowed me I have found
no difficulty In pointing out anmn of the errors
Into which Mr. Little has fallen. I find that
$1,100,000 of earnings of the Atchison system
deducted from its Income account, under the
agreement with the Bt. Louis and San Francisco
Hallway Company of 1887, as shown In the an
nual reports, and properly to be credited to the
St. Louis and San Frnncleco Railway Company,
are totallv Ignored, and ) et all the stock of that
tompanv Is owned by tho Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad Company, and certainly the
stockholders of the tatter company, who paid a
large sum for the stock of the former company,
arc entitled to a statement of such earnings. In
other words, Mr. Little Ignores $1,100,000 of
actual earnings nf the Atchison Railroad, and
gives them no place tn his statement of the
earnings of the system.
" I also find that Mr. Little refuses to Include
a lialance of $4S7,030 (United States etirrenoy)
subsidy due from tho Mexican Government to
t heJUamoaHallw ay (oneof tho Atchison auxiliary
companies), which Is an undisputed claim

"I find nlsn that an Item of $480,000, covering
esrnlngs on freight In transit on through billing
for the last week In each month, has been
Ignored by Mr. Little, notwithstanding the fact
thnt such item was fully explained to him. Thla
Item wo necessarily created by a change from
a 'Forwarded' basis nf freight accounting to a
Received ' basts, and la strictly in accordance
with well-established ami recognized methods of
revenue accounting by other railroads of ex
tensive mllenge.
" I further find that Mr. Little has either over
looked or refused to recognlre $2,332,000 of in
terest earned from Jan. 1, 1800, to Dec. 23,1803
(dnte of appointment of receiver), on advances
made by the Atchison and Han Francisco Com
panies to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, which Interest so earned is an asset of
these two companies, and which In adjustment
of the accounts of tho three companies named
must be treated as an asset of the Atchison and
Han Francisco Companies, belonging to their
Income account.
"Still further do I find that Mr. Little has not
Included about $1,800,000 of profit earned by
the company upon its investment and terminal
properties.
"The items of $1,012.110 and $152,081. mak
Ing an aggregate of 91,703,001, which Mr.
Little also refers to, wero proper debits to the
franchise and property accounts, for the reason
that they represent expenditures made out of
the revenues of the reorganized company sub
sequent to Oct. 1, 1880, but which applied to the
operations prior to the date of reorganization,
and should have been cared for under the forty
two mortgages represented under the old com
pany Instead of the two mortgages of the reor
ganized company. This asset was used to offset
charges which affected the other side of the In
come account, and as Mr. Little himself, has
stated In his report, 'in the end, the effect on
the Income account will be precisely the same.'
"The Items 1 have mentioned more than cover
the ulleged overstatement of Income for the
period of Mr. Little's examination, by about
$300,000. I have not time in the limited period
allowed me to go into further details. To be
strictly or technically accurate, I, too, would
havoto do what Mr. Little has done: take the
books and accounting forces of the system and
spend considerable time In examination.
"Mr. Little thinks tbathundredaof thousands
of dollars earned as a subsidy are not earnings;
I think they are. He thinks that $1,100,000
deducted from Atchison earnings and given
under contract to another linn in the system ara
not system earnings: I think they are. He
thinks $1,800,000 of profits ou Investments is
not Income; I think it Is.
" I repeat that the abovo ite.ns are sufficient
to account for tho alleged over-statement and
$300,000 more, their total being ov er $8,000,000,
and fully Justifying every statement the. com
pany has ever made.
" Mr. Little states that on the 30th day of June,
1803, the company did not have on hand the
amount of cash shown by the books. Vhlle 1
fall to sec what bearing this statement has Uxn
the matters which Mr. Little was called upon to
examine in relation to the proposed reorganiza
tion of tho company, I yet desire to statu most
emphatically that on the date referred tn the
company actually had on hand in cosh and cash
items Uiu amount stated in its report ou that
date. J. V. Heimiaiit, President.
" New York, Aug. 0."
Both Capt. Hayes and Mr. Little said after the
meeting adjourned that they did not consider
that President Relnhart's answer met the
charges made In Mr. Little's report.
In the statement w hlch Col. MeCook made to
the committee he said thnt as general counsel
for the Alchlron Company the legal affairs of
the system had fully occupied his time and at
tention. He said that, not being an expert In
accounting or traffio matters, he hail not
given special attention to thn details of those
departments further than to satisfy himself that
they were conducted by experienced and capable
officials. If any rebates have been paid by the
company, ho suld that It had been done with
out his Knowledge or approval. In conclusion
he said:
" Whatever conclusion may be reached by the
General Reorganization Committee, whether
they duitaln the poslllou of Mr. Little or Mr.
Itelnhnrt In this matter. I wish to say In the
most definite and explicit way that If the result
of the examination should show that the com.
iiany's accounts have In any resiiect been kept
in uu Irregular manner or not in strict compli
ance with best accounting methods, ur that the
earnings of the company have been In any re
spect overstated. It has been done without my
knowledge and, of course, without my ap
proval" . ...
Director Thomas Baring also disclaims any
knowledge of rebates or Irregularities Iu stating
the accounts of the company.
Further sensational development In connec
tion wlUi the action nf the Protective Committee
In requesting the Union Trust Company to ask
for tho removal of Receivers MeCook and
Itelnhart were prevented by the retraction
of the charges in the letter sent to thn
Trust Company so far a they related
to Col. MeCook. Two of tho most Important
member of the committee. Gen. It. F, Tracy
and Mr. W. II. Male, were outspoken in their
condemnation of the language employed iu the
letter. Neither nf the two had seen It before It
was sent, nor had been tansulted as to the pro
priety of such a request of the trustee. There I
good ground for believing that there will lie
changes tu the present membership of the com.
mlttve by reason of tho course pursued In this
matter.
Another meeting of the committee was held
yesterdu) afternoon, and the following letter of
retraction was drafted und sent to Col, MeCook.

The Iron girders which arc to support the roof H
are partly In position, antl the men who are aaH
doing the Iron work were only waiting for tha 1B
completion of this wall to set them In place. jH
Hupentslng Architect Lewis II. llrownr, when H
at the building yesterday morning, directed , H
John English, who represents his father, Rich- H
anl English, the contractor for the building, to HH
sea that ths wall was thoroughly braced before) Vl
the men left for the day. Mr. English said ha 11
expected to have ths wall connected with th sHsfl
iron trusses before night, and, In that case, there ' H
would bs no danger. iHf
The wall was within two feet of the trusses H
when the accident occurred. Eight workmen H
were on the scaffold laying brick under ths H
supervision of Mr. English. There was a stiff H
westerly breeze. rUtortly after 3 o'clock th 'H
wall began to sway slightly. The workmen be- H
came alarmed antl seemed to lose their heads. A H
sudden gust of wind caused the wall to totter H
and tremble, and seven of the men Jumped from H
the scaffold. At the same moment the wall fell ' H
over and carried the workmen down with It. ,H
Borne of them went straight down, hut others H
struck the Iron girders on the floors below and asxtsxtsxti
were unconscious when they reached the bottom. H
John English and the remaining workman H
stuck to the scaffold, and by so doing probably H
saved their lives, as the scaffold remained H
standing. One man. who was standing on top of vH
the wall, seized the projecting end nf one of th H
Iron girders and clung there until he was res- H
cued by Mr. English and some of the other H
workmen. sbbbbbbbbbI
As the bricks crashed down through the lower H
floors they carried with them the fire bricks on H
the different floors and the masonry In which jH
they were Imbedded. The noise attracted this jjH
attention of tho fifty or more workmen who H
were engaged In other parts of th HH
building and. In a few minutes, hun- H
dreds of willing hands were at work getting th H
victims out from the debris. Policeman Walter ' H
Hklff. who was on Mercer street, opposite the 'H
building, hurried to the fire-alarm box opposite 'jH
Adams Express stable and rang an alarm. H
Somebody ran to Police Headquarters and a call H
was sent out from there for all the patrol wagons. Hl
The ambulances from the City, Bt. Francis's, ssssasxa
and Christ hospitals were summoned. A me- sbbbbbbbbbI
nenger ran down to St. Peter's College, in Urand H
street, and in a few minutes Fathers Prendei- H
gast and Emerich were on the scene ndmlnis- B
terlng religious consolation to the wounded men. H
In a short time several thousand people had 1
gathered, and Chief Murphy summoned thn H
reserves from all the stations to keep the crowd H
bock. Police Captain Farrier and Detective Mc- 1
Olnnls took charge of the removal of the In- H
Jured men. As nearly all of them hod fallen on ' ,H
top of the debris, there, was not much difficulty sbbbbbbH
in getting them out. Each ambulance hod a, ,H
surgeon with It, and tho men who were most H
severely Injured wero taken core of first. H
Sullivan and Kennedy were sent to Christ H
Hospital. Hulltvan died Just as he reached the H
hospital. His lungs were crushed In and he H
died of Internal hemorrhage. Kennedy died at H
6:80 o'clock of shock and Internal Injuries. H
Dwyer, who was taken to St. Francis Hospital. H
was resting easy last night, but Is not expected H
to recover. All the patients at the City Hospl- H
tal were doing well last night. H
Richard English, the contractor, was very xxxl
much perturbed over the accident- Ho said that 1
if the men had retained their presence of mind 'H
and remained on the scaffold they would have H
been saved. The part of the wall which fell waa H
about 17 feet deep and 30 feet wide. It was sv '1
green wall, and there was no w-ny of bracing It H
until It reached the Iron girders. This would H
have been done before tho men quit work last
Lewis H.Broome, the supervising architect, H
heard of tho accident lato lit the afternoon and H
hurried to the scene. Ho said there was nobody H
tn blame for It. as thrro was no carelessness on H
tho part of nti) body.
"John English." he said, "Is a very careful H
and conscientious man. I saw him In the morn- fa!
lug, antl told him tn lie sure and havw that wall H
brand before ho let the men go hnnie. Ilea- H
stired me that he would, hut he thought they H
would have it built up to the truhSos liefure H
the men quit work for thn night. I nnt H
Informed thnt one nf the men was Instructed to B
plumb the wnll a short time before the accident
occurreil. The man couldn't do It because the
plumb kept swaying In the wind."
Suiierlntendeitt Talltnan said he was in an- jHJHJH
other part of the building at the time and knew
nothing about the accident. Ho said the damage
w ould nmouut to about $5U0. and tho wll could
be rebuilt In four or five du)s.
