A CATASTROPHE.
SEVERAL MEN IN THE RUINS AND
SUPPOSED TO ne KILLED.

OF the various handsome stores Canal street
may be proud Of Is one which, on account of
it's handsome appointments and machinery,
could be an ornament to any city of the
United States; we refer to the Hong Kong
building, which came very near being totally
demolished. Yesterday afternoon, it appears
that the third floor is used for storage Of all
coffees intended for roasting, of which the
Hong Kong Tea Company carries a large
stock at this season of the year. and whilst
the steam elevator was being run upstairs
with about twenty bags Of coffee, the running
gear, situated in the roof OF the building, sud-
denly gave way and caused considerable
damage. In the terrible excitement we were
unable to learn the full extent of the damage,
but it Is stated that a portion of the roof and
part OF the front wall are entirely demolished.
LII was reported at late hour last night
that six employees were under the ruins, and
the hook and ladder companies will probably
be called out to assist in removing. the bodies.
AS the front wall threatens passers-ky on
their way to the Postoffice, the authorities
should look into the matter There was d
crowd around the building all night.

THE ICE QUESTION.
And the Mystery Surrounding the Jones
Ice Mill.


Pursuing the investigation as to the supply
Of ice in this city, a DEMOCRAT reporter
learned yesterday from the largest coal deal
ers in the city that their towboats had not,
during the season, towed to this city any
barges laden with ice.
Other companies owning or using towboats
that ply between the Ohio river and this city,
or between st. Louis and this city, make the
same report, consequently the DEMOCRATS
estimate of the stock on hand as given on
Friday morning, from interviews with TIE ice
Dealers is correct. Some of the dealers are
slightly suspicious as to the capacity OF the
mandatory owned by Nevada Jones, the
rumor having gained circulation that it could
turn out enough ice to supply the city, and
would do it, at the same price charged last
summer.
To add to the mystery surrounding this
concern the dealers and importers are refused
admittance to the interior of the Jones manu-
factory for reasons which they do not seem
to understand, which fact leads to the belief
that should any combination be effected by
which prices should be advanced to figure
beyond fair profit, the new CONCERN would
drop into the market, say, from two hundred
to four hundred tons weekly at the old prices.
The reticence manifested on the part Of the
employees 1.-THE Jones mandatory as to the
amount OF Ice they are making, the capacity
OF the new machinery, ETC., only adds to the
curiosity Of the dealers and importers, and
not perhaps until some action is taken in the
matter of prices will they Or any one else be
made aware OF the capacity OF the new works.

FOUR VICTIMS.
A Negro Named Thomas Slabs an Eptire
Family and Then Makes his ESCAPE.

At 10 o'clock Saturday evening q bloody
ARRAY took place in jefferson City, on Con-
stantinople street, between Magazine and
Constance, in which four colored men we're
stabbed, one dangerously, and three severely
though not dangerously.
The rencontre originated between John
Thomas and Adam Yancy, Jr., which resulted
in the former drawing large bowie knife and
plunging it In the latter's left side, just above
the hip, inficting, in all probability, a mortal
wound.
AS soon as Yancy, Jr- was struck, his
father and two brothers, Moses and George,
rushed to his rescue, and as they did 80,
Thomas, who is powerful negro. seized
each one OF them, stabbed them and flung
them on the ground.
Adam Yancy ST., was stabbed In the back,
between the shoulder blades. Moses received
a painful wound in the lower part OF the bach, =
George was also cut in the back, near the spinal
column. The accused, after having stained
the blade OF his trusty dirk with the blood Of
four human beings, took "leg baiP' and made
good his escape. s
The cause Of the difficulty, as stated to a
DEMOCRAT reporter, was about a woman that
Thomas alleged Yancy had beat him out OF,
and to use his own expression, she was go
ing to have his heart for it." The two men
met Saturday night at the hour above stated,
and the difficulty took place, with the above
result.
DR.. Klebs attended the wounded family.
and pronounced the younger Yancy's wound
mortal.
