| Fell Ia.-As the hands in the employ Of W
G. Gallagher, were engaged in putting grave
roof on two brick houses in Adams street, be.
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, on Tuesday
| last, the partition wall gave way, and the ROOF
fell in, badly scaldlng David Reeder. Two
boys employed in laying the floor In the second
story narrowly escaped from being crushed
| The wall was only four inches and built very
insecurity. This accident shows the impor-
| lance Of more care In the construction Of divi-
sion walls, as too many houses are built in the
same way, and 1t Is surprising that they do not
fall down. The City Council should enact an
ordinance creating the office Of Inspector of
buildings, If IL has the authority to do so. The
proper construction OF walls Is an important
matter, and In many cities there Is an officer
to inspect the same.

Sawdon, Jr, at New port, on Monday last, was
toerably well attended, and fair prices were
