1. Much Disturbed About
the Awful Calamity
Washington, June 10.—'Until nt a
late hour in the night workmen were
employed in removing the tons ot loose
bricks and broken- timbers from the
Ford's theater bnilding, and the old
bulk now looks less hedions than when
■cores of dead aud broken bodies were
being carried from it.
By 8 o’clock, an hour earlir than us
ual, the old clerks began to arrive at
the building and every new comer was
greeted with effusive welcomes by his
comrades. And then they told tales of
marvellous escapes and each was again
and again questioned as to where he
was the awful moment. Tears filled
many eyes as each told of his experi
ences and how he had seen one whom
they all knew and loved, dashed down
to death.
Burly D Work.
Many of the clerks, with a view of
not losing any time, knocked on the
door of the annox bnilding adjoining
the rained theater, and to the officials
within reported for duty, bat no suita
ble bnilding has yet been secured and it
will probably oe some days before the
force is again put to work.
The ooroner a inquiry will commence
Monday. The jury empanelled consists
of practical business men of high char
acter. .
An investigation by the war depart
ment will also be had.
Stories of suffering and diatressgrow
Ingout of this awful calamity are heart-
^The death roll haa received another
accession. - A. M. Gerault, a clerkfrom
New Jersey.gave up the struggle which
he had maintained against awful odda
for nearly 24 hoars.
He went down in the midst of the
wreck and sustained injuries from
which he never rallied. One arm was
broken, his head was cut,and the shock
produced concussion of the brain.
Mr. Gerault left a wife and a mar
ried daughter. The former was at hw
side throughout the night and was with
him when he died. The body will bo
taken to New Jersey for burial.
The President Badly Bothered.
The president is said to be much per
turbed over the calamity and will give

There Are Twenty-Two Dead.

MRS- LESLIE FREE AGAIN.
The Court Hu. Granted Her Divorce from
Willie Wilde.
New York, June 10.—Judge Brown
has granted a divorce to Mrs. Frank
Leslie from William C. Kingsbury
Wilde.
Mrs. Frank Leslie-Wilde’s divorce
from her husband, William C. Kings
bury Wilde, brings that‘remarkable
woman again into prominence. Wilde
is in London, and accordingly his wife,
last December, petitioned Judge Brown,
of Newburg, N. Y., for an order de
creeing service by publication.
A change of tactics was determined
upon, however, aud toward the end of
January Mrs. Wilde's attorney got per
mission to examine defendant and to
take the testimony of witnesses abroad.
Personal services was then secured, and
an affidavit to that effect was placed on
file at Newburg.
Mrs. Leslie is of French descent, and
married at an early age in New Or
leans. At the death of her husband
she took np Mr. Leslie’s work and not
only paid his debts, bnt made her own
fortune besides.

in Impreisive and U:»*qne Ca.*emony
Hitueued on That Occasion.
NevT York, June 10.—The funeral
services over the remains of Edwin
Booth were held at the church of the
Transfiguration. Seldom has the “Lit
tle Church Around the Corner” been so
completely filled from chancel to porch
as it was an hour before the funeral
procession was expected. Actors, ar
tists, men of letters, men whose names
are known as foremost in their profes
sions on both sides of the Atlantic; men
o millions, men whom the great crowd
outside the churchyard pushed aud
squeezed and craned their necks to see;
all were there ti join in the ceremony
and the “requiem to the peace of the
departed soul” of the greatest Hamlet
of them all.
It was not only a profoundly impres
sive scene, but * it was an absolutely
unique one. Never before has the
American public been called upon to
mourn an actor who for over a quarter
of a century has been associated with
the highest ideal of the master charac
ter of an immortal author. The mod
est wreath of laurel, the only emblem
resting on the coffin lid, betokened that
the dense throng who had gathered on
Fifth avenue and down Twenty-ninth
street as ,/ur as was possible to stand
and see the little church yard of the
“Little Church,” were there as at the
obsequies of a national character.
‘The funeral procession was half an
hour late and the suspense atthechnrcb
was painful. . .
Finally the carriages containing the
pallbearers arrived. A few minutes
after the organ music could be heard
softly stealing down the aisles and
under the gothic porches, and mingling
its sweetness and sacredness with the
balm of the air. It was Chopin’s “Fu
neral March.” and its first notes the
congregation arose, the solemn words
of the Episcopal burial service coming
at the same time from the porch aa the
procession entered the aisle.
It was the usual procession, headed
by the white robes of the priests and
the pall bearers and then the white oak
coffin, with its solid silver mountings
and plain wreath of lanrel. The mourn
ing family followed, and then the rep
resentatives of the dab and the orders
to which the dead had belonged, and
the crowd brought np a reverent rear.
The only relief to the black and white
of mourners and priests was the purple
scarfs which the clergy and pall bearers
wore, according to - the nigh church
ritual. The service was the usual one.
Then came the procession and the part
ing strains of the “Dead March in Saul"
ana the start for the Grand Central
depot. Edwin Booth had made his last
exit Bishop Potter officiated', and was
assisted by Dr. Houghton, the rector of
the church, and Dr. Bispham, a friend
of the great actor. At the Grand Cen
tral a special train took the party to
Boston. The interment will be at Mount
Auburn-
Hi* llur.ul In Boston.
Boston, June 10.—The body of Ed
win Booth arrived here at 5:30 p. in.,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Gross-
man and other members of the party.
The body was transferred to a hearse
and the funeral procession was soon on
its way to Mount Auburn. At the fu
neral ceremony some 400 or 500 of the
dead actor’s friends had assembled, and
about the grave were placed a large
nnmber of beautiful floral offerings.
The femains were laid beside those of
Mrs. Booth and their child, the usual
Episcopal service being read by Rev.
B. Fri'sbee, of the church of the advent.
