was.)—At the time the accident occurred, several men, employed
in sinking a Inundation for another warehouse on an adjoining lot
of gr,und, were resting in the excavation, and all of them were, by
the suddenness of the accident, completely' overwhelmed by the
falling materials, with the exception of two, who were soon, lh'osigla
with much difficulty, extricated from the ruins. The extricating one
of these poor fellows was attended with considerable trouble, from
the circumstance of 'his being, with the exception of his head, en-
tirely hurled in the ruins, the attempt to remove any portion of
which threatened to bring upon him the superincumbent loam of
rubbish. Happily such judicious arrangements were made that
he was relieved from his perilous situation, though with one of hie
kgs broken. The other was got opt sons hours afterwards; but
life was totally extinct. A young woman and two children were
extricated from the ruins, but very much bruised; one of them
bey, of about ten years of age, had his bead much fractured. The
bodies el three children have also been found. Tuesday evening
