SAD OCCURRENcE-FALL1NG OF A WALL-SIx GILL
DREN CAUGHT IN THE RUINs.-Considerabl excite
ment was occasioned about one O'Clock yesterday
by the announcement that wall that had been left
standing amid the ruins OF the lire of the morning,
had fallen and buried beneath it some dozen or
more persons, several of whom had been killed
As usual, rumor magnites the affair largely, and
after the bricks and mortar had been removed six
boys the eldest not over fourteen years of age
taken from the Plo- Five were taken the
Apothecary store of Mr.. Z. Laroque, corner of
Baltimore and Harrison streets, where their iniu-
ries were dressed by Drs. Whtridge and Lynch
assisted by Mr.. Emile Laroque.
The most seriously injured and who, it is
thought, cannot possibly survive, was a little fell
low named John Doyle, aged nine years. whose pa
rents reside at No. u Swami street, near Marsh
Mar ket Space. He was completely buried under
the heavy mass, and received cut on the
right temple, severng the temporal artery. His
right ear nearly cut off, deep cut over the
right eye, penetrating to the bone, severe contu-
sion the back of the head, and otherwise inter-
nally injured.
Joseph Morgan, aged fourteen wears, received
severe scalp wounds upon the forehead and back
He was removed to the corner of Mercer and
Grant streets and subsequently to his parents resi-
dence on Webb street.
Isaac Malheuse, aged eleven years, parents reside
at No. % Abemarle street, received severe wound
In the centre of the forehead between the ewes, ap-
peared to have been done by some sharp instrument
tracturing the external table of the frontal bone-
His spine is seriously injured from which the physi
clans think para ysis is likely ensue. He is other
wise bruised about the body.
Charles Edward ROthNick 9ppd md
twelve years, parents reside on Eager street near
Bond. The elder brother received a cut on the up
per lip, extending into the nostril nose badly mash
ed and body bruised. The younger received only
few bruises, the most serious of which was on the
left thigh
The sixth is named james. Bogue, aged ten years,
he was conveyed from the place of accident imme-
diately to his parents residence, Smiths aey,
leading from Frederick street to Gay. He at
tended by DR.. Dunbar. His injuries consisted of
serious cut his left eye from which it is thought
he will lose the sight back I'M ured and badly brus
ed upon the limbs.
There appears to be desire on the part of many
to attach blame somewhere. The children had been
driven from the spot at least dozen times during
the morning, and like children usually in such
matters, when the officers turned away, would go
back Among those prominent in seeking for the
injured and conveying them to Mr.. Laroque, were
Mr. Robert Knight, President of the Friendship,
Henry r. Eisenbrandt, John H. Council, Patrick
havanaqgh and Thomas Wiley, of the same com
Z
DAZZLE, John Fopless W. H. Weigh and William II.
Wolfe, of the Pioneer. They also, after the boys
had their wounds dressed, carried them to their
homes upon a comfortably arranged litter for
which act of humanity they have the thanks Of the
entire community.
