The building fell with tremendous crash leaving only
the front wall standing and carrying with it fifteen
twenty workmen, and pilpg one story upon another
through into the cellar This occurred about Eve o'clock
Friday afternoon.
Immediately after the fall three rescued from

Mr. HelfOrd, master carpenter taken out dead from

Nearly the time the body OF aborer was dscov-
cred While endeavoring to reach it, the hand OF one OF
