Most of tho wounded men had been removed, however, and the two priests west to Roosevelt hospital. Anthony Kelly of 540 West Thirtieth street and the two Hurley brothers were tho only men at work on the fifth llcor who did not fall. They wero working at one side of tho budding, close to tho wall of tho main building, and when they heard tbo wall begin to tumble they rushed down tho stairs. Before thoy were moro than half way down the stairs of the main building the crash followed.

Their description of the fall is graphic. "The noise was something frightful and wa could hoar tho cries of the mon ana their screams way above the roar cf tbe breaking timborsnnd the crash of tho falling brisks," they said. Shortly after the necident Roundsman Skolly of the West Forty seventh street poiico station placed both Contractor O'Keefo and Patrick Keegan, his assistant, under arrest. As the directors of tho work they are hold responsible for the accident. Contractor O'Koefo gave as the reason or the accident that it had nothing to do with the work, except that tho building One of the Most Complete Outfits That the Department Has Irver Discovered.

Ever Since the Present Incumbent Had the Grip He Has Hardly Been Himself, and His Actions Have Created Much Unfavorable Comment The Change Will Be Made Soon It Is Said the New Man Has Already Been Selected. It is rumored that George H.

Randall, until, recent date an employe of Cord Meyer, who ran on tho Democratic ticket for secretary of state a year ago last fall, is a defaulter. Tho greatest secrecy is maintained regarding the alleged defalcation. Mr. Meyer, when seen In his office. 62 William street, this morning, by an Eagle reporter, and questioned concerning tho matter, said: "Have you got tbo wholo story? No? Well, then I refuse to say anything about tho matter now.

If you will wait a few days until tho loss is definitely ascertained I will tell you about it. It is really not so serious as some people are trying to make it out. No, I won't say anything to day. I refuse to confirm or deny tho rumor. I prefer not to give any details at present." "Do you know, Mr.

Meyer, what has become of Mr. Randall?" "I am in direct communication with him at prosent." "Can ou say if he is still in Brooklyn or if he is in New York city?" "1 don't know whero ho is. My only communication with him is by indirect means. I would prefer that nothing be said about the matter at present, because the thing is not yet clear to me. That Is my reason for not wishing to discuss it." In last year's Brooklyn Directory appears the name George H.

Randall, and his busi wrro cxpoctod to engage in support of the will and to oppose vigorously the content brouehl by their brother. This proposition for compromise Was not accepted. Tlio conclusion Is. however, that Senator Fair's daughters will not plaeo themselves In any altitude that might i bring upon the application of tho drended for feituro lause in their father's will which Chnt lns IA.

It has come only after long weoks, yes, oven mouths ot tho most patient consideration, until the committee has been obliged to docldo which should receive the greater consideration, tho pupils of the school and their parents, tho welfare of tho institution and its discipline, tho character of its administration and its liability to suffer through Mr. McAllister's unfortunate condition, or tho man himself, whoso natural ability has never boon questioned.

lameorry to say that the necessity for making such a decision has been brought about by Mr. McAllister himself. His statu of health, and when I say halth I mean just what I say, will, In my opinion, make his further continuance in the office of principal an impossibility. Mr. McAllister's physical condition is oven moro seriouf than he himself imagines.

Some two or threeyears ago he had an attack of the grip, which left him in bad shape, especially as concerned his stomach.

Tbe property was turned 'over to the United States marshal and tbo two mon were taken before Tho United States district attorney, where they are held for warrants from the marshal. These men, describe themselves as William Hefner and Alfred Benson. William Hefney says that ho was working In the place for a man whose name was Lynch, which is tho only name anyone connected with the place knew. He had been working thoro for about a month and there was also a German whose name ho did not know who had been there for some time be Several weeks ago Mr.

During the first part of the morning a portion the roof had been taken off and the naked wall on the West Forty third street side was left standing. Suddenly there was a terrifle crash, a roar of falling bricks and timber that was hoard many blocks away and a great cloud of dust arose. Following the roar were heard the cries of the imprisoned men. Those who raa to the seono saw that the throe upper stories on the Forty third street side had toppled into tho intorior of tho building. Tons of brick, mortar and iron had fallen on the workmen.

There was a rumor in circulation about tho city hall to day of a real ostalo syndicate in which several city officials xrvro said to bo interested. What foundation in fact there was for the story could not be ascertained. Possibly tho story started from tbo refusal of Controller Palmer to favor the employment of the Title Guarantee eompany to search tho title of property aoqulrod by the city under arrears sales. It was said that Alderman Carv had made tho proposition to Mr.

Palmer aud that the eompany was to charge riO for each parcel. As the property has already been searcned, Mr. Palmer saw tho ropetitios of the work was uot necessary. Furthermore, ho has searchers in his own offleo. II Alderman Cnry did make tho proposition, ha could not awaro of tho faet that tho property had been searched.
