The cause of the accident is somewhat
uncertain, bat the most plausible theory is
that the heavy iron pillars supporting the
roof of the second story balcony sank into
the plank upon which they rested, thus
pulling the south wall outward, which in
turn caused the roof of the entire wing to
large pieces Of boiler iron rolled into cir
cular form, stove pipe fashion,th iointures
not being bolted together.
A dispatch was received from Governor
Rusk at Bayfield,, instructing all care to be
taken of the dead and injured. He will
return in the morning. The mayor of the
city has ordered an inquest to be held in
the morning. A full and rigid investiga-
ticn will be had and the blame laid where
it belongs.

crash came and hundreds of people were
at once on the scene and with the aid
of the hook and ladder company ex-
tricated every sufferer. Medical attendance
was summoned and the wounded removed
to places of safety. Some ascribe the &C
oident to defective iron pillar, others to
poor masonry. 1t is the opinion of con-
tractor Bentley the loss will fall on the
commonwealth, as the plans were ap-
proved by the state architect, and blame
can be ascribed to no one. 1t is the
opinion that there must have been defect
in some of the casting. The loss cannot
be estimated at present. The additions
were to have been completed Ga March l,
1884; 100000 was appropriated by the
legislature 10 IuS5G the necessary expenses.
The wing was designed for the Historical
society's use.
