FALL OF PORTION OF THE New JAIL.-Friday
night, about eight o'clock, portion of the walls Of
the new Jail, at the southern end of the north wing
fell All the walls, with the exception of the cen
trail division WALL fell east and west, destroying ff
teen cells on the eastern side and twenty five cells
on the western side The mass of brick struck the
outer walls, which are of stone, either side, and
with such force as probably to iniure them
considerably, although it is impossible at present
and will be until the rubbish is removed to say how
much damage the stone walls have sustained Diff
ferent causes assigned for the accident; those
who interested in the construction asserting
that the building was struck by lightning, during
the afternoon of Friday, and that the high wind
which followed the storm Of that day, blew it down
Others say thatit was owing to the imperfect man
ner in which the work has been done. We have
been informed that previous to the accident there
large crack in the brick of this part of the
building, and iron rods had been used to pre-
vent it from going to pieces The manner
in which the bricks now lay is satisfactory evidence
that the mortar used in erecting the wall was not
of the best quality. There are scarcely two bricks
sticking together in the ruins, and large propor-
tion of them clean the mortar having dropped
from them in the fall. A considerable portion of
the walls which are standing will have to be taken
down, they have been injured to greater or less
degree. The Commissioners appointed by the city
to superntend the erection of the jail were on the
ground yesterday, but came to conclusion in re-
gard to the cause of the accident committee
consisting of Messrs D. Barger, j. C. Nelson and
N. L. Dnshane, were appointed by the Commission
ers to examine into the causes which produced the
accident and report this afternoon. 1t estimated
that will cost from Sc 900 So 900 to place the
building In proper repair.
