Fatal FaA-Yesterday afternoon Mr.. VIM.
81. Martin, well known master builder of
this city, while working upon some portion of
the new building of MI. Haxall, at the corr er
of 9th and Grace streets. fell distance of
about twelve feet, from one Of the windows
to the pavement below, fracturing his skull
and breaking one of his hips, from the effects
of which death almost instantly ensued. Con-
sidering the height, or distance, Of the fall,
the result seems TO Us really remarkable. Mr..
Martin was worthy man and good citizen,
and leaves an interesting family to mourn his
