SERIOUS ACCIDENT.— LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY
—This morning ea accident of a serious nature, by rebid
four workmen were severely injured, took place at a nee
election near the Sailors' Home. The building, intended ts
be en arcade, had only progremed up to the attend door,
which height extend a aeries of large arches of omamenW
bricks, constructed to support the upper portion of the
building. While four of the workmen were removing dm
"striking centre,' or wooden support of one of the arches,
the whole arch came tumbling down with a fearful malt
tearing with it the woodwork of the second and first dom,
the iron girders, Ite. The four men were precipitated through
the first floor into the vaults below, a height of about thirty
feet, along with the debrie, and they were ahead buried un-
der the toms of bricks and reftors. The workmen aims
from tLe other portions of the budding, and coon rescued tin
unfortunato tern from their painful position. The men we.
not killed, but they were in a state of ineensibility, each al-
tering from concussion of the brain and bruises all ova the
body. They were removed to the Southern Hospital, when
they now lie. It is said that the cause of the melded an
the removal of the wooden sect before the superbenmbeet
brick and masonry work had act.
