BALTIMORE, February 25

BALrIMoRE, February rs.
Yesterday evening, about 8 O'Clock, the
walls of Building on concord street, which
was destroyed by fire onThprsday last, were
blown down by severe gale. They fell
on two story building, occupied as Soap
and Candle Factory, leaving it a mass of
ruins. There we're four persons-two men
and two boys in the building at the time.
The men succeeded in getting out before
they were overwhelmed in the ruins
The boys caught by the falling timbers, ,and
after three hours labor one was extrlcated;
his thighs were badly broken, and the bones
protruded. His body was also much bruis.
ed, and his recovery is doubtful.
The other was not extricated till after
nine. His position was first ascetained by
cries, and a hole was knocked through the
wall, into which workmen crawled and
succeeded in finding him. They gave him
water, and every encouragement IN their
power. He had been caught by large
rafter falling across his ancle and fractur-
ing it, although otherwise, though not Sc.
riovsly injured. He sustained himself for
hours in this awful position, with courage
that excited the admiration of ALL
