THE " PITTSBURG- DISPATOH. SUNDAY, MAT 22. 1892.
FELL WITH THE KOOF.
Six Men Bnned Beneath the Debris
of the Home ChurcU bj the
COLLAPSE OP THE OLD STRUCTURE.
A BAtiKEE'S HABD FALL.
The Injured Men Speedily Rescued From
Terilons Positions.
riTHETIC SCENES JT THE HOSPITAL
An accident occurred at 8:30 o'clock
yesterday morning in which sir men
were badly inj nred at the old First Methodist
Protestant Church on Fifth avenue just
above Smithfield street, by a joist bearing a
large number of men being precipitated to
the floor, some 40 feet below.
X one of the men were fatally injured, al
though a report to that efiect spread rapidly
and caused considerable excitement The
injured men were removed to the Homeo
pathic Hospital. The list of the victims
follows:
CALEB JUKES (colored), Internally in
jured, legs and feet crushed and back hurt.
Besides at the head of Twenty-second street
Incline, Southstde. Married and a family.
SAMUEL HENKY DWYEK (colored), left
leg iraciurea ana silently injured about the
back. He Is married, and llvoa with his
family at 21 Pasture street.
CHARLES JAXCE (white), Injured about
the ba.k. Single and boards at Xb. 6 Francis
street.
WILLIAM SARSFIELD (white), head and
face badly cut and bruised. Married and
lives down on Soho street.
ALONZO LOXG (colored), neck cut and
bruised about head. Married and lives at
Xo. 39 Claik street.
SAMUEL CLARK (colored), head badly
bruised. Single and. lives at Xo. 39 South
Clark.
The Cause or the Accident.
The cause of the accident is probably due
to improper calculation being made regard
ing the time the snvUlng and timbers were
to fall. In consequent of this the bolts
had been removed colore anyone had time
to sound a warning to the men in the peril
ous position 40 feet above the floor. Part
oftne root had been removed previous to
yesterday and the men started to take
down the frame. This is composed of a
number of heavy timbers 35 feet in length
and about IS inches square Attached to
these strong timbers are a number of smaller
scantlings, and it was upon these that the
men were standing busily removing the
lesser ones so that the large timbers could be
swayed down. The main girders are bolted
to the eaves of the building, and while the
joints and beams were being removed men
were busily loosening the bolts so that at the
proper time the mass would fall together to
the floor.
While the men were busv removing the
bolts there was an ominous creak, a sway
ing of the heavy rafters and then the whole
mass, with a thundering crash, was precipi
tated to the floor below. Vast clouds of
suffocating dust arose, and it had not
cleared away hen the work of rescue be
gan.
The Work of Kevcne.
The work of extricatins the men from the
debris was a difficult task as the men were
held donn and pinioned, some of them as in
a vise. One poor fellow was seen lying
bent double, with his head and body held
tightly by the same piece of timber. An
other man was pinioned in a peculiarly hor
rible manner. He was held in a perfectly
inverted position with his left loot held
tightly some distance in the dust-laclened
air and a large plank crushing his head to
the floor.
The men were removed to the hospital
and their families summoned. As the
women came in and saw their husbands lying
swathed in bandages there ere some pa
thetic scenes. Mrs. Jukes happened to
come in as an awiul groan escaped her hus
band's litis. She tell npon her knees with
out the door and made a tearful plea to God
to iparc her loved one.
The men were in the employ of Contractor
Scanlon, and he was near bv when the acci
dent happened, but escaped being injured.
The property is being torn down to make
room for a second addition of the Kaufmann
building.
After Spending Two Years In the Fen He
Mmt Met Other Indictments.
St. Joseph, Ma, May 2L Judge John
J. McLain, the Savannah banker who
failed some years ago for ?75,000, has just
completed his term in the State Peniten
tiary at Jefferson City and been taken back
to Savannah to stand trial on five or six
other indictments still pending against him.
McLain was worth In the neighborhood of
$150,000, but through unfortunate invest
ments sank every dollar that belonged to
him and a great (leal more that did uot be
long to him.
"When the bank failed there was not even
so much as a postage stamp in the vaults of
the concern. "When the crash came Mc
Lain was arrested for receiving deposits
when he knew the concern was unable to
liquidate claims against it He was tried,
convicted on one charge and sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary, which term
he has just completed.
