A Miraculous Escape.

LARGE STORE HOUSE FALLS IN AND NO ONE Is
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
A great excitement was caused on the avenue
at quarter to one o'clock this afternoon by the
falling in Ofthe large new stOrehOuse of Messrs.
Barbour d Hamilton, on B street be-
tween 9th and 18th streets, in
the rear of No. GA Pennsylvania avenue The
accident was caused by the immense weight of
the merchandise that was stored on the three
floors OF the building. There were 5000 or 900
barrels OF flour, a lot of whisky, and large
quantity of canned, boxed and bagged goods The
third story, which is the highest, gave way first
and carried with it the second, preciptating the
whole weight to the first floor. Several men
were at work in the building at the time and all
had a marvellous escape, those in the back part
having to crawl out from under the debris of
the whole building. The most injuries that any
of them received were few slight cuts and
bruises. In the third story, which is the highest
were the engineer. John Closby. John Powers.
clerk, and two visitors, a gentleman named
B. F. Bingham and little boy that was with
him, named Arthur Seyboul.
On the second and third floors were Charles
Power, H. I. Walker. George Washington (col-
ored). A. Heitmiler and H. F. Kingsley. The
floors by giving in the center made compare
lively clear space on one side of the house. and
the men seeing this made for the side and got I'M
der the desks. The engineer was cut on the hand
but received no other injuries. His boiler and
engine, Wnlcn were on the third floor, were
carried down to the first. clerk and little
boy were also slightly injured, by being struck
by some of the falling debris. Mr.. G. G. White.
a clerk in the front store, heard the noise of the
falling of the back building, and thinking it was
falling toward the front. jumped out of second
story front window. but received no injuries.
save slightly strained foot.
The building fell toward 9th street, and the
stOrerooms of Cuttings hardware store being
lower than the falling building. the debris fell
ON them and levelled them to the ground.
Fortunately no one was in the inn.
mediate part of this building. Messrs.
Cuttings and Mcintosh were in the
second-story of the back building but this build
ing did not fall as far back as the Barbour 4
Hamilton building. They broke sash out of
the second-story window and jumped to the
ground. The falling Of the building and the
bursting Of barrels of flour made such q cloud.
that persons a short distance away thought
it was q fire, and an alarm of fire
was turned in from police headquarters.
Mr.. Hamilton says that he cannot make even q
rough estimate as to what his damages are. but
they are very large on the building, which is
completely destroyed. The damage to the stock
is also very heavy. Mr.. Cuttings damage Is also
heavy.

pioyes of the Capitol, who came by and listened
TO her telling how much she wanted
to see the President, took her into
the building by one of the side entrances.
