FALL OF BriLplSG-Neir York, July 80
-Thi. afternoon the new building OF the
Manhattan Gas Company, on. l4th street
fell, and though large numbers OF workmen
were buried in the ruins. only two were
ki led and ten injured. The building was
$50 by 1870 feet long, and one story in height,
with three plated. roofs Of iron supported by
iron and brick columns. The cause is sup
posed to be in defective iron works.
The exaggerated reports circulated last
evening. in relation to the disaster at the
Gas Works. crea.pd the most intense excite
ment throughout the city, and the fact that
only three or four persons were actually
killed, and fifteen OF twenty more or less in
iured was disrcgarded us almost incredible,
Iconsidering the nature and suddenness ol
the accident. and the large number OF per-
sons employed about the demolished works.
IL appears that the Gas Company were erect
ing these immense retort buildings to con-
meet with their extensive Gas Works, occu-
pying some 80 lots OF ground at the foot Of
l4th street, on the East River. The found.
ation was commenced Last fall, and the
buildings were in rapid progress OF comple.
tim. They covered 545 feet deep and lS6
front, anu were 9l6 feet in height, and pro-
badly cost $4,000 The walls were o!
brick and about l6inches thick. The posi-
lion of the ruins clearly Indicate that the
building fell iuwards,whicb goes fur to prove
that some flaw in the iron braces or supper
tiers was the, cause Of the disaster.

powers OF digestion and whose bodily snb-

Guthrie, "a BentoIian democrat writes from
Kansas territory to member of Congress,
that Senator Atchison is urging the slave
