Fifth street, about twenty feet wide sud
 denly gave way and fell. The first intI-
 nation given was the cracking door
 castings, which gave a number of men
 sitting on the porch outside tIme to es-
 cape. The wall fell into the street, car
 wing with 1t about forty feet of the
 porch. The report that a man was buried under tho debris set a large number at
 work, but investigation showed the re-
 port to be false. The accident was
 caused by a waste pipe from a faucet in
 the barroom undermining the founda-
 tion of the building. Had the wall
 fallen inside death would nave been oc-
 casioned, as the saloon was full of peO-
 pie at the time.

 VIRGINIA CITY, New, Oct 3L-Two masked men robbed the vault of the County Treasury of SS,OO0 last night, and then seized the Treasurer and locked him in the vault. The affair Is considered mysterious, as S4,OO0 of the amount was silver, too heavy to pack of.
 LATER.-Treasurer Nevin says that be was in the office writing at 9:3O, when two men came in, one sand Hell ain't you working late?" Nevin who was seated with his back to the door, then T n black masks on, one of whom had a gun pointed at him. He thought they were some men about the Court House who were playing joke and said 'wh0 in hell are you anyway: One of the men then approached with a large knife and said ':Keep quiet or l will cut you open" Nevin was then ordered to stand up, his lamp was put out aud the men opened a bullseye lantern. The one with the knife then said Don't say word, but open the doors of the vault"
 On reaching the door Of the vault Nevin said, 1t is no use for me to open the door of the vault as there is a tune lock on the safe and 1t can't be opened by me or any one else," and one of the men then said: "You open the door of the vault and take the combination of the safe, We will chance the time lock" Nevin compiled, and much to his sur prise found chat the time lock, which was set at six m the evening not to open until seven in the morning, readily opened. The men then made Nevin stand back in the vault, and the man with the knife stood guard over him while the one who had the gun took the coin from the treasury and put II into sacks. He worked at this slowly and cautiously tlll about one o'clock m tue morning, being careful to make DO noise with the coin. When the men had carried the coin out of the vault they loft Nevin inside, locking the two iron doors upon him. He shouted and beat upon the door of the vault with a piece of board till he wos heard by JailOr Breen, who gave the alarm. It took an hour to get Negin out of the vault as they had tQ cut the hinges of the iron doors to re- lease him. The keys Eoi. the vault were found this morning 10 the yard of the courthouse where they had been thrown. The time lock has been set again by the county officials m order Co see If 1t can agaln be opened tonight al a certain hour. It is supposed that the stolen coin IS buried near town and the parties who stole 1t are stlll in the city, as the job must have been done by men so well known that they would be missed. The officers are at work on the affair.
