By 10 o'clock this morning. after eighteen hours' strenuous and unceasiug ‘wnrk on the part of an plucky and dc- termined a band of volunteers as ever rendered service in the noble duty of saving life, six dead bodies had been recovered from the ruins. They were those of W. T. Hamilton of the firm of Hamilton & Long; w. E. Tumbling. fourteen years of age, son not of Dr. 'l‘anihlin. as at first reported, but of a icarpenter named w. T. Tumbling. 351 ’tleurtl street; Tantum Howitt, 505 Maitland street, and his wife. i A Steady All-Day Fight. i All dug in a scorching sun which beat lllmll their heads with a tierce glam-h iisulrcjtok.t"i nith duct, and dripping with I perspiration. they toiled without cessa- ion, struggling with grim determin- iutiml to get down to the. depths where it was supposed Miss Mulliu lay. Tons upon tons of debris had been carted away, but rtill a great pile remained to be cleaned. Meanwhile the crowd around the ropes kept going and coming. lul- lowing nitli almost painful anxiety the struggle that was going on. “Ulll's llilis' Iii, the mats of wreckage gradually diw appeared. but still there were no -ig_ns ofthe inanimate form.t'or the iinding of which all this tireless energy was being spent. Some of the men became so ex. hausted that they were advised to de,,i,t. but this they were reluctant to do, al- l though others were waiting to tak.,. tin ir I places if need be. And so the work went i on, furnishing a bright and thrilling t'\'- ample of that arduous form of heroism which is inspired by love of humanity and is sometimes its own reward. By 3 o'clock the men had got down to the level of the basement, and still eyesI searched in vain for a trace of the mic. _ sing body. Now it was a case of steady l digging. for the debris had accumulated in the cellars to such an extent as to be almost impenetrable. but the men toiled on: eventually about 4 o'eloek Miss Mul. lin's remains. badly crushed, were brought to the surface. Gloomy Duty Stanly Done. This magnificent exhibition of deter- mination and endurance was the calmin- ating effort in a spell of strenuous rescue work which will be long remembered in London Some men were at work to- day who had started immediately after the accident occured, having smtched only a few hours' sleep during the. night. Others who were among the tint on the scene toiled on without intermission until the early hours of this morning. There were no thrilling mun, no dram- atic scenes such as had characterized the operations at an early stage when the injured were being removed. a: " _ . treight',t2te, W... .xu.... otthcmlawewhhheutaghotly glare over the ruin- piled deep and actually counselled Mr. Smirlies not to tear out the wall. Mr. Smirlies' posi- tion in the matter could not be ascer- tained, he being out of town, and his absence led to an unfortunate complica- tion to-day. Early in the morning Engi- nccr Hraydnn and Mayor Judd decided to have the remainder of the Reid build- ing razed to the ground. but it was point. ed put that such a step could not be taken without the content of the pro- prietor. Mr. Reid refused to give the necessary permission. on the ground that the lease had passed from his hands into those of Mr. Smirliem and Mr. Smirlies could not be communicated with. Accordingly. it was found impos- sible to proceed with the work of de- molition. but. after consultation with the City Solicitor. the City Engineer wrote to all the parties concerned. point- ing out the danger of leaving the build. ings in their present state and demand. ing that it be remedied. An Inquest Begun. At noon to-day a beginning was made at what promises to be a search- ing investigation of the circumstances attending the catastrophe. Coroner Dr. McLaren had summoned fifteen jurors to the inquest on the bodied of the boy Tamhling and Mrs. Hamilton. and all were sworn. After viewing the hodieq of these two victims the jury heard evidence of identification by Mr. w. T. Tumbling. the father of the boy. The Coroner then emphasized the im. portanee of the inquiry. pointing out that auch a disaster called for the moat utrict and careful investigation. It would be necessary. he said. to got all evidence of a material character an that they would be in a position to place the repomritrility on the proper shoulders. The inquth was adjourned for a week. the jury. however. taking the opportunity to visit the accne of the (limiter in the afternoon. The building which collapsed first be- longed to W. J. Reid & Company, and was built over a quarter of a century ago. The alterations were being carried out by R. G. Wilson on plans prepared by Architect William Murray for Peter Smirlies, who, it seems, had taken over the lt-am- a month ago. Advised Against Alterations. Mr. Reid, interviewed, said the firm of Reid & Company would accept no re- eponsilsility, and added that they had that to the weakened condition of the wall no loopholed was to be nttributed the dinanter. and that view seemed to be borne out by the statements of eye- witnesses of the collepee. His informa. tion was that the wall in question sim. ply buckled right along the line of the windows. allowing all the weight of the upper storeys of the Reid warehouse to prom: down upon the building on the east side of the alley and cunning it to give way. "A heavy responsibility rests upon somebody," declared Mr. Graydon, "hut who the party is remains a matter for inventigntion." Long Instantly Inna. Percy Robinson, another of Hamilton & Long's employees, regarded his escape as remarkable. "How anybody could go through that awful chaos of f1ring bums. bricks, tad what not, and come out alive, is more than I can pretend Interviewed in the hospital, Miss Ethel Earl, the young lady clerk of Brew- Mer"s store, said: “Libbie Smith. Clara Mullen and I were engaged in marking some jewelry in Mr. llreWster‘s yester- day about 4 o'clock, when we were startled by hearing a crash, and seeing the west wall of the building fall to- wards us. We had probably gone about two steps when we were caught by the falling material and borne down. I thought my last moment had come. As we full I grasped Clara Mullin around the waist and she took a grip of me. I am sure that she was killed instantly, fur she never moved or spoke after the first shock. I was so pinioned that I could not more even my hand. After what seemed an age I heard voices above me asking for Ethel Earl. I was so choked with dust and so frightened that I could not talk above a whisper, so I asked Miss Smith, who lay next to me, to tell them that I was all right and still living. I am sorry that poor Clara should have met her death. Beyond a black eye and a few bruises I am almost as good as new.” Miss Earl added she could hear poor Miss Smith praying to be rescued. James Clupton, the twelve-your-old boy who was rescued late last night, stated that he was pinioned by the ceil- ing in the rear of Hamilton & Long’s Company's store, and that in falling he, landed on his' stomach. He could just hurt-1y move his head, the remainder of his body being held by a. huge beam, which pinned him down. The boy was postive that at least five people from the stare were carried into the cellar with the crush of timbers and bricks, and he believed that all of them were killed. touchingly exemplified in the. case. of Mrs. Edward Peters. who, though her. self .mffering from shock, seemed to.have no thought for aught else but her in- jure-'1 baby. Dr. Stevenson was diffident about ex- pressing an opinion as to the condition of the injured. In such accidents, he said. the effects of shock were some- times most to be feared, ind these often did not manifest '/22",t,f,yelf, for days, if not Work". The meeting in the. hospital this morn- ing between a mother and her daughter. who had been reported seriously injured, was very affecting. The mother neemed quite overwhelmed with grief when she entered the ward where her girl was lying, and when she learned that the latter was not so badly hurt :14 had at first been supposed she threw her arms around the patient and wept with joy, crying. "Thank God. thank God, you are spared." A mother's love was also Miss Elsie Ma; Harningham, of 358 Ottawa avvnno; injuries urn, an far as known, bad bruises and her recovery is confidently expected. She was employed at Brewster's. Percy Robinson, of 12 Leslie street, in badly bruised. His injuries are not wrinus. ll" worked at Hamilton a; Long's. Mr. and Mn.

Baby Hazel Peters, their daugh- ter, is not seriously injured, being bruis. ed slightly about the head. Young Englishman's Enhance. Yvhile every man employed in the searching operations rendered noble ser- vice, none worked with greater ml or showed greater during than a. band of young Englishmen not long out iron: the old country. They were wrong the first to vorunteer, and the manner in which they bent to the work of res- cue was the theme of general admira- tion and went far to stimulate and en- courage the others. They ventured in where some of their co-workers feared to tread, burrowing deep into recesws, crawling under beams which might have collapsed at any moment, balancing themselves on the most precarious foot. holds, and generally running risks which made the crowd gasp at time-i. Condition of the Injured. All day long the Victoria Hospital, where nine of the injured are lying, was besieged by inquirers and some pathetic scenes were witnessed. The injured are: Miss Ethel Earl, Egerton street, bruis- ed, but not seriously hurt. Miss Earl was employed in Brewe,teru, and was buried under the wreck. Mr. John Loney, of 75 Cartwright Miss Libbie Smith, of 317 Simone street, very badly bruised, although the tull extent of her injuries (-unut he learn. ed.

Hocking, hewins, dim, bonus. the searchers pursued their grim task, now struggling with huge belmsstretoh- ed across their path, anon peering into crevices, or prodding heaps of plaster in the hope of finding the lifeless' forms known to be underneath somewhere. How the Dead Were Found. , The first body recovered was that of Frank Smith, and half In hour later a group of searchers came suddenly upon the remains of the boy Tumbling, Who was badly crushed about the chest and legs. Work continued for more than three hours before another victim was uncovered, this proving to be Mr. How. itt. Knowing tut when last seen Mr. Howitt had aud his wife beside him, the searchers applied themselves with renew. ed energy to the task of locating the latter, but it was not until daybreak that their efforts were rewarded. Atean, while in another part of the ruins u. grim struggle had been going on for the body of Mr. Long, who was found em- bedded in a mass oi masonry and wood- work. About 6 this morning it fifth body was recovered, that of Mr. Hamil- ton. His features were badly battered, and his neck and chest were simply a mass of bruises. it appeared that he had been chatting over the counter in his shop with some customers when the crush eaune, and trout the nature of his injuries it is beyond doubt that death had been instantaneous. Stories of Survivors. 14 Ivatt, avenue, He Grand Rapids Owner of Building Ex- plains It: Intended Use. Grand Rapids, Mich, July 17.--Peter Smirlies, of this city, the wealthiest (hook in Michigan, lessee of the building in London, Ont., by the collapse of which " least seven persons have been killed, left here to-dny to takevn. personal hand in the investigation which is to follow the disaster. “I bought the old building several months ago," said Mr. Smirlies, "pay- ing part down and agreeing to com- plete the purchase when the altern- tiona were completed. I had intended to establish a sort of amusement place there, and the structure needed considerable changing to make it suit- able for the purpose to which I can- templated putting it. "ft was" necessary to remove several pillars, the contractors said, and I suppose that weakened the structure so that it fell. Girders were being substi- tuted for the other supports when the crash came, I understand. Even when I, fellow breaks his arm the doctor is inclined to pull his leg. A curious fact in commotion with the death oi Miss Clara Mullins wan a pre- sentiment that the exprehsed some days ago if she went to work in Mr. Brew. stet’s store something would happen to her. f Speaking to fwo girl friends she said: "I have an idea that something is going to happen to me and I cannot get it off my mind. I don't know what it is, but the idea bothers me, and I don't know whether to go or not." "I received the first intimation of the disaster last night in a. telegram from London, but only learned the full details when I read the morning papers." Alfred Medealfe, a striking" machinist at Toronto, was yesterday sent for trial for calling a. workman u 'Ueab." The millionaire shows-lune king, Peter Smirlies. of Grand Rapids, lessee ot the Reid building, will be on hand at the invvuigation. Smirlies is inclined to take n. lenient view of the disaster, in the fact that the contractors took all the necessary pr"eautions. To this man it seem-x attention is now turned. Smirlit-s loam-d the building front Reid, to take effect July 1.5, at 80,000 a year, and Mr. Reid. it is said. will claim that he had vacated the building and also that it was against his specific in~tructinn- that altvratior.s were made at the point where tho building etdlapr,rrl. Mr. Reid. owner of the building, was not at home when the accident happen. ed. He returned to-night. "l did not know a thing about it," he mid. "until " o'cloek this morning,when l picked up a Toronto paper. I would not care about the money, but to think of the lives lost is too horrible. It can't be the fault of the building. It was built about twenty-five years ago. The best material was used. It was very strongly built. Only the other day several old citizens happened to remark on it, and their one verdict was that it was one of the best built structure; in the city. As for being overloaded. that must be a mistake, as only mm.“ stock was earried under the cireum. stances.” Miss Libbie Smith, describing her ex- perience. said she was standing near the front door of Brewster's store, where she was employed, when she heard a ruttttslittg.nofse, and the west wall of the store crashed in. “I we: go- ing to run out at the door, but had only time to take about two oteps when l 'felt myself caught on every side by bricks and all sorts of things so tightly that I could scarcely move. All was darkness, and the duet almost choked me. I don't know just whether I was much frightened, although I could hard- ly realize what had happened. Voices could be heard. some crying for help and others moaning, end soon I could hear men climbing above me and noises a! if great piles of bricks were being emptied. Every little while great quan- tities of dust would come down and nearly choke me. For a long time, what seemed to be about half an hour, I shouted. but could not make anyone hear until at last a hand wan thrust down through an opening and ' piece of wood removed so that [could get more air. Close behind me was Ethel Earl. I thought that she Was dead several times, and she could hurdlly speak, but after a while she told me several times to shout up to the men above. Mr. Frank Smith, the manager of the store. had been working on u shelf high up near the top of the store. and for some time after the acident I could hear him groaning terribly, but after a time he was quiet. There was another girl near us. I think it was Clam Mullen. She did not speak, and I took her to be dead. We were both caught in a stand- ing position. so that the wreckage had to be removed right down to out feet before we could be taken out.” Saw the Wall Coming. A somewhat similar Wtary “as re- lated by May Hardingham. "I saw the wall coming." she said, "and start- ed to run. but was crushed to the floor before I had taken three steps. I was not frightened. It all happened so quickly that I barely realized what was taking place. It was the west wall over the candy counter that came in first. Clouds of dust and mini] pieces of brick nearly choked me at times. but. although I could not more my body, my left arm was pinioned to my breast in such a manner that my hand protected my face from dust to a large extent. I could hear Voices itulistinet. ly about me while lying under' the debris." A warm tribute to Miss Ilardingluuu's coolness and pluck was paid by Mr. Bert Barbour. who, with two others. went to her rescue. "She renmined calm and encouraged us by her coolness," he said. "She was giv- en water through a straw, as in her position it was almost impossible to give her a drink out of a cup. By the aid of kvyhule mum and Chisels the timbers and broken boards. were sawed away. It was found that one timber had it fallen an inch farther would have crushed out her life." Mr. Reid’s Statement. to understand," he said. “I remember being struck on the head with I piece of timber n moment after Mr. hang was killed by a. falling ItFineh beam which struck him in the back of the head." FOR AMUSEMENT HOUSE. Expected Death. "tsine was giv- 'aw, as in her impossible to a cup. By the A Lindsay despatch: Police investiga- tion into tLe Lindsay counterfeiting (use is now centring about the manu- tacture and circulation of Dominion Bank and Bank of Montreal notes in this section two years prior to the re- cent discovery of the mauutaamre of Traders Bank notes. it is in connection with the nilegul events of two yea"; ago that George Miller, the employee of the Lindsay WardewWatehmau office, is held, and it in upon the allegation ut one of the men now under arrest that be was Itr~ rested. _ Some idea of the extent of the opera- tions of the gang is had from the iiuding of 180 " Traders Bank notes upon Ardlibald Bayenu and Richard Wynn. the old men arrested at the Soo and brought down on Monday.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTERFEITING CASE. Two Years Ago They Are Said to Hatre Been Counterfeiting Dominion Bank and Bank of Montreal Bills. The following resolution was deferred for one year: "That in the opinion of the Council the consent of the mother as well as of the father ought to be tte. cessary to the marriage of minors." The subject of domestic help was brought up. Miss FitzGibbons, of ro- ronto, gave an account of the way she managed her hotel. She trains servants for different situations, and is very careful to manage affairs on home, not on institution, lines. She believed that the great thing needed to solve the dif- ficulty was to raise the status of maid servants. She had tried to have maid servants put on professional standing in Toronto some years ago, but the ladies of the city had written after. wards saying that she was demoralizing their households; that was because she had been misrepresented. Mrs. Skinner, Kingston, thought it better for the mise tresses- to train their servants. Another lady urged that the training of mis- tresses was needed. This could be un- dertaken in the schools, and it should be In connection with thir, it must be remembered that a little over a year ago he deliberately tried to bring things to an issue by cutting down a tree on the disputed domains to make a flagstaff for his property in the village. He de. fied the gentlemen of the seminary at that time to put him in jail, but, thanks to the moderation of the latter, who are homewhat tired of the constant trouble with the Indians, nothing serious happened. Vancouver despatch: Gloom was cast over the proceedings of the National Council of Women by the death of Mrs. J. o. Orr, wife of the manager of the Industrial Exhibition, Toronto, from heart failure. In consequence many delegates who had intended taking part in the trip to New Westminster today remained in Vancouver. The report of the committee on "laws for the better protection of women and ehildren" was presented, and the following resolution was moved by Mrs. O. C. Edwards and seconded by Mrs. Woolverton, of Ham- ilton, "That the Council view with dis- approval the tendency to lower the age of freedom to marry without the con- sent of parents or guardian from 21 to 18 years." This resolution was withdrawn, being laid over for a year for more informa- tion, and an amendment, moved on be. half of the Winnipeg Local Council by Mrs. Sheldon, of Winnipeg. and second- ed by Mrs. Graham, of London, was de- feated. Montreal, July 22.-A special from Ch, says: The fact that Chief Angus Corinthe ha: announced that there will be bloodshed in Oka if the fencing of public land is proceeded with, gives those who know the ways of the Indian here more concern than all the alarm- ist rumors that have been set-afloat at different times during the last few years. Almost every year there have been, so to speak, pocket rebellions here, in the course of which, at various times, the Provincial police and detectives, as well as those of the Dominion, have been called out for service. The out- look, however, has never before been so serious as at the present. Those who know Angus Corinthe know him " a careful, deliberate man, who would not openly proclaim such defiance as he has done unless he had thought the matter out carefully. _ In the present case, whatever occurs will not be at the instigation of the seminary. but at the instigation of the Board of Health of the Province, which objects to com; and other animals roam- ing around through the village. The village authorities have been ordered by the Board of Health to enclose the meadows, and, owing to threats, have asked for the protection of the Provin.
