A GREAT CRASH.
The Buffalo Depot Falls Ina Number
of Lives Lost.

The Buffalo Depot Falls Ina Number
of Lives Lost.
BUFFALO, February S.-The old part
OF the New York Central depot, on Ex-
change street, fell with a terrible crash,
this morning, with the exception OF
three spans adjoining the new struct-
ure. The noise OF the falling building
was distinctly heard for long distance
from the scene and a number OF lives
were lost. Just how many il is impos.
sible TO tell as yet. The iiremen and
an extra force were called and have sue
ceeded in obtaining three bodies from
the debris, which were Capt. John
Bymes, VIM. Wells and the other named
Henry Waters, private secretary OF
Superintendent Tillinghast OF the New
York Central. A large force is at work
clearing up the ruins. The cause OF the
disaster is attributed to weakening the
walls by making arches to communicate
with the new depot recently Duilt.
The passengers sitting in the Lake
Shore tram, which was buried beneath
the roof, were not injured, though it
seems miraculous that they should have
escaped instant death. Had the roof
fallen ten minutes earlier, when several
trains were preparing to leave the depot,
the loss of life would have been enor-
nous. The accident is due to very
weak structure and the heavy volume
OF snow on the roof, which became very
heavy in consequence OF the recent
thaw. 1t will take several days TO clear
the depot and tracks from the heaped.up
mass oi timbers, iron, plaster, brick,
sc. Inquiries are being made for miss.
ing persons.
Tie work of clearing away the debris
was completed this afternoon, and the
number killed are the confidential clerk
of Superintendent TIllinghast, Henry
Water, Capt John W. Byrne, OF this
city, who was waiting to take the train
for Erie, VIM. ID. Wells, car inspectors
clerk, and Levi 5. Hunting, clerk in the
office of the New York and Pennsyl
vania railroad COMPANY

and the immense crops of apples the
extensive orchards in that State
yield. An old lady whom he met,
who owned a large number of acres
covered with apple trees, and also
kept dairy complained to him on
account OF the immense yield, and
said she feared she would have to
cut her trees down because the COWS
ate so many apples. She was asked,
if the apples formed substitute for
pasturage, why they were not as
good.
swell they are in moderation,
