Fatal Aecident-An accident occurred, at
an old building in Second street, between
Orange and Tatnall, on Tuesday afternoon
last, about four O'Clock, which resulted in
the death OF young man about nineteen
years of age, named Francis Reddy. The
particulars of the affair are as follows: II
appears that Isaac Woodrow, T. Il. Craig,
George Lavender and Francis Reddy, in the
employ of George II. Tindall, Carpenter
and Builder, were engaged in tearing down
a building well-known TO our citizens as the
''old Brewery and while removing the
roof, heavy gust OF wind caused the ratters
to start from their places, and fall with
terrible crash. The workmen were precipi-
tated distance of eight feet, all OF them
escaping serious injury, except Reddy He
fell on the joists, which supported the Sc
cond floor, and while in this position the
collar beam fell upon HIM, crushing his head
both back and front, in horrible manner,
breaking his left leg and causing his death
instantly. Woodrow and Craig escaped
without serious injury. Lavender was cut
considerably about the face. Coroner Bel
lew assisted by Deputy Coroner Curry, held
an inquest on the body OF Reddy, when the
/ jury rendered verdict THAT Francis Red
dy came 10 his death by the crushing of his
| head, through the accidental falling of the
rafters of building in Second street, be-
tween Orange and Talnall streets, in the
city of Wilmington" His remains were
conveyed to his mothers residence, No. sos
West Front street.
