Pail of n Building.

CINCINNATI, o., September 3 An
eKcav Ition under a dwelling on
Longworth street undermined its
walls, aud The building fell with a
crash. Four women were buried in
the wreck, but only one, Mrs. Keam,
was killed. Five men were injured
two, it is thought, fatally. 1t is stat.
ed that four persons are still in the
ruins.
The building on Longworth street
which fell to-day was a boarding
house for fancy women, who rented
rooms from Mrs. Keam, and at the
time the accident occurred contained
seven women and three or four men.
The exact number Of the latter can
not be ascertained, as those Injured
failed to report. Mrs. Sue Kean, the
lsndlady, was instantly killed. John
W. Dustan, a visitor at the same
house. is injured internally; it is
thought fatally. Joha Finegan, fore.
man Of the men at worke in the exca.
walton, is dead and buried under the
debris. Hugh Quigley, laborer, was
killed instantly. Louis Danerly is
injured internally. Lottie Williams
had her back hurt. One a colored
servant, is missing, bot it thought
possible she escaped. The workmen
were engaged up to a late hour to-
night searching for Finnegan's body
bot were unable to End it.

SPRINGrrELD, Sept. 6.-Indepene-
ent Detective John T. Norris, has
successfully worked no another big
case. While in Tifin, q short time
ago. arresting q young woman for
barn burning, be was offered an in
ducement to ferret out another party,
supposed to be a man who has been
engaged in burning barns and other
buildings, especially in Seneca coun-
ty, for several years He picked out
bis man, a rowing character named
Sam Flaughker, and decoyed him to
this city where be has been keeping
him nearly a week. The detective
hobnobbed with him on pretence Of
wanting to become his pal. and even
went so far as to go out with him at
night on thieving raids, all to gain
his conf fence, but the climax was
reached when, by a secret agreement,
Flaughker was brought into the pres
ence of two well known men of this
city, who represented that they had
a house they wanted burned to get
the insurance. on it. This ruse was
a success. Flaughker freely told how
he had burned barn after barn and
building after building, until, in the
last twenty years, he had destroyed
fully twenty buildings of different
kinds. Having cunningly secured
this wholesale evidence against him,
Norris arrested him yesterday, hand
cuffed him, and took him to Tifin.
