ROCHESTER, April S-About $3.50 p. NJ the
foundation walls on the river side on Front
street, of the new city building for the po-
ce and fire departments, went ont, when
between twenty and thirty persons were
upon it looking on the river. 1t is estimated
hy those who we're witnesses of the affair,
that ten or fifteen were carried into the
water and swept over the high falls. No
names of the lost are reported. Five or six
are known to have escaped. Great excite
ment prevails, and the police are in full
force at the place where the accident Oc
cured, TO prevent any further catastrophe.
An interview with a man who was stand
ing near the wall which fell brings out the
fact that there were twenty-five or thirty
persons on the wall and timbers leading
thereto. lie was considerably bruised i'll
getting ont, and his con was saved by j.
Ringlestein, who was i'll the street at the
time. 1t is known certainly that three per
sons were taken out alive. No search can
be made for the bodies tonight. Is the
news spreads through the city the excite
1nent increases.
Mr.. Potter, who was foreman in the
works, says he saw there was great danger
of the wall being swept out, and he advised
and even begged the people to get off He
appealed to the watchman of the building
10 drive the people away, but he refused,
except 10 keep off the boys. Mr.. Potter
gave up in despair, and had just reached
the sidewalk when the crash occurred. He
was powerless to save any of them
If the wall has not been washed out to
the rock when the waite rs subside, there is
u chance that the bodies of most all of the
dead will be recovered, as it is thought they
fell into the basement of the building, and
the current sets toward the street.
Advices from above show the river to be
still rising there, and we shall have higher
water here; what the result will be few
hours will determine. Reports begin to
come in giving the names OF those supposed
20 be lost, but there is no certeinty that
they are correct. A man who was standing

saw d boy with his arm over plank pass
under the bridge and go over the falls.
