FELL IS.-Atl2 o'clock NJ. yesterday the
upper part of the south wall Of the house
occupied by Bloch Bros. as cigar factory
fell with crash upon the roof and sky
light OF q building one story lower than it,
carrying away the skylight, roof and q
part OF the floor OF the house, also mash.
Ing up furniture, fixtures and whatever
obStruCted its passage to the ground be-
meath. The second floor OF the house so
badly damaged is occupied as residence
by Mrs. McCorl, and at the time of the
accident she was engaged In house clean
ing, and had removed her furniture to the
room through which the bricks and roof
fell, lust an hour before, SO it got the full
benefit OF the avalanche, and was nearly
all destroyed. The first floor OF tho house
is occupied as millinery establishment
by Miss P. E. Turner, and two sewing ma.
chimes, a lot Of furniture and material
were destroyed for her. A young
lady had left the room not q moment
before the crash, thus escaping certain
death. The upper building, or the one
that gave way, is owned by Mr.. O. II.
Diuger, the halter, who purchased 1t at an
executors sale last December. He con-
templated extensive repairs at the time OF
purchase and was only awaiting the depar-
ture Of the occupants until he should begin
them. The lower building is owned by
Mr.. ]. B. Colvig, Of Monndsville. The
damage to it is not so great as was at first
anticipated, and can DO repaired at cost
not exceeding 500. The damage to Miss
Turner's property will be between 500
and 500, although she has not been able
yet to fully estimate it. Mrs. McCord's
loss will not beover $50. The upper build
ing is said TO baye been condemned ten
years ago, but OF this Mr., Dinger, the own
er, says he had not heard.

FIRE DAMP ExPLosIox.-A terrible acct.
dent occurred at the old Archibald coal
bank at the head OF Forty.fifth street yes
terday morning. It appears that an old
man named John Braedicum had gone
into the bank to work about six o'clock,
and going into room poorly ventilated,
with his lamp, and in which large guam.
tity Of tire.damp had accumulated during
the night, a terrific explosion resulted,
hurting the unfortunate man distance Of
80 or s. feet along the passage, and burn
ing him in terrible manner. Medical
assistance was summoned at once, and the
old man removed to his home on Cald-
wells run, where be now lies in critical
condition, and his recovery is considered
exceedingly doubtful. Mr.. Braedicum had
not been previously employed in the bank
and yesterday was the first day he had
gone In.
Latest word from Braedicum at 10 P. NJ,
