The house No. 800 Trout street, occupied
by Messrs. E. C. Buchanan & Co., fell in yes
terday and created CONSERVATION inside and
in the vicinity. The lower floor had been
occupied by the offices of the firm in the
front aud as storage room for feedstuffs in
the rear, oftentimes having as much
as 1000 sacks Of corn stored on that floor.
Yesterday there were about 1900 sacks eff
corn and oats on the fooor, when, to use the
expression of one OF the employees, call of a
sudden, there was crash" and the contents
OF the lower floor we're precipitated into the
| cellar beneath. There was no warning, but
fortunately the employees of the building, at
the moment, were in the trout part, where
but little of the weight was laying. The
crab was caused by the Eleepers giving way
in The center. the sleeners pulling out from
the walls, thus saving the other parts of the
building from strain or wrench. In the
upper story there were some thirty or forty
bales of hay stored, but that floor held firm,
showing that the walls were iu ne way
strained. The accident was evidently the
! result of weakness in the sleepers on the
lower floor. The loss will amount TO about
$500 or $500, including moving Of stuff
stored
