FORD "8 THEATRE COLLAPSED .
June, the 1 Oth. at 9 :50 o'clock the
Ford's old theatre in Washington
city collapsed. This building in
in which John Wilkes Booth killed
President Lincoln was nsed by the
Government as the Surgeon Gener
al's office and at the time of the dis
aster there wore about 45O Govern
ment employes in the building. The
floors of the rear part of the bailding
did not fall, thus preventing a worse
disaster than did occur. Up to 3
o'clock twentyene dead bodies, in
cluding those who died after rescue,
had been taken from the building.
The number of wounded at that time
was estimated at sixty. At a meet
ing of the citizens $5 500 were ratsed
for the benefit ol the injured persons.
Speeches were made in which the
Government authorities were de
nounced for using th Ford theatre
alter being three times condemned.
One speaker denounced the building
"as a heli on earth" , being unfit for
occupation as well as unsafe.

COL. AINSWORTH DENOUNCED AS A
MURDJ5REH. ALMOST A MOB.
A special from Washington City
says :
The investigation of the FH
theatre building disaster wa hcjii'":
by the coroner's jury Monday Sev
eral of the clerks who had worked
in the building testified to the tcU"
that the building was known to he
unea'e and was called "he deal
trap." Col Ainsworth was in thr
building nearly every day while the
excavation was going: on. The build
ing had no fire escapes and only oae
door of exit. Col Ainsworth had
messengers placed at the stirvvay to
warn the employes to g easily on tip
toe up and down as the stairs wen
unsafe. When the witness said th
clerks were in adject fear of Col
Aiasvrcrth he was applauded by tm
clerks. In answer to a question frm
one of the jurors he paid the clerk?
refrained from Buggering the inse
curity of the buildinL' to Col. Ains
worth for fear of being disnniHsed.
While the investigation wr troiu oi
CLas G. L. Barnes, brother of one of
the men killed, enme in the room and
denounced Col. Airs worth as a mur
derer, which sentiment the clerk- ap
plaud d, many rising to tneir feet ii

a most excited ta nner. Finally l
th suggestion l one of th- jurors
that Co. Ainsworth withdraw and his
refusal to do so the clerks became
very mccii excited and hegnu to yol!
-hang him !" and were abou; to inak
a rush ior the colonel when the juror
who had suggested his withdrawal
siood upon his chair and quelied the
disturabnee. All this -while the col
onel sat cool and collected with hi
right hand in inside pocket The
coroner hastilv adjourned the hearing
until to-morrow. The clerks then
organized an indignation meeting and
appointed a committee to wait on the
President. IMPOPwTANCE OF GOOD ROIDS.
A news item that should interest any
body, in the county or town, is the fol
lowing: "Every road leading eut of
Raleigh, N. C, with one exception, has
baengiaded and nicely macadamize!
for several miles. A ousineas gentle
man estimates the gain to the city from
truck alone from 810,000 to 815,000 per
annum. This is true and it deserves to
have the most careful consideration.
