At the time Of the accident. Just before

at work inside the house. The building

10 do much damage. Suddenly. however.
the whole structure gave way and came
down with crash. burying the men
and horses beneath it. Two Of the men
crawled out OF the ruins without assistance.
They were badly bruised and scratched, but
are not thought 10 be seriously Injured.
The third. Gilbert Harmon. VI No. 33 Ohio

struck by some OF the heavy timbers and
buried out OF sight. He was finally ex-
treated in bruised and crushed condi-

He is thought to be fatally injured. A
gang Of men were immediately sent to the
scene, and after several hours hard work
extricated the horses. Both were badly
injured, and will probably have to be
killed.

UNITED STATES SUPREME 90 URT.
The October Term 20 BEGIN Next Monday
The Casessn Docket.
IBy ttlfgrlDh % the Di,palch.

WASHINGTON, u. g., October 9.-The
Supreme Court Of the United States will
meet Monday next for the October term OF
1854. Six Of the Justices are already in the
city. and all are expected to take their seats
when the court rcassemblcs. The number
Of eases on the docket Is 1,02j, or 81 less
than were dockcted up 10 the cor
responding time last year. The court
holds under Amusement ten clses
which were argued or submitted
al the last term: but the only one Of them
which has general interest Is the So-caled
hoad-moncy case" Of the Liverpool, New
York. and Philadelphia Steamship Com
pany sgainst the commissioners OF emigri-
lion. A number OF cases have been spe
cinly assigned for the second day OF the
forthcoming term, and the indications are
that most Of them will be argued. Among
the most important are;
/. The Alabama claims eases Of the Co.
lumbia and Great Western Insurance COM
panies. Brought up by appeal from the
Court Of Claims.
>. The observation-disclosures case OF the
Commissioner of Patents against the United
States, eI. rel. hoe. which involves the
question OF the right Of appeal in patent
cases from the decision OF the Commission
rr Of Patents to the Secretary OF the In
terror.
3. The longevity pay case Of the United
states against Lieutenant Charles Morton.
Brought up by appeal from the Court OF
Claims.
The argument and decision in the case
lsst named Will have more than usual inter-
est in mintary circles since the principle
involved affects, il i, said, the pay OF nearly
thousand army officers. The question IN
controversy is whether the period Of mill
taIy training at the West Point Military
Academy is to be regarded as service in the
army in computing an officers longevity
pay.
Chief Justice Drake. in delivering the
opinion OF the court below in favor OF the
claimant, reviewed the laws and regulations
relating 10 the military academy. and said
"In view OF these plain and express pro-
visions we are At a loss 10 understand Why
cadet at The military academy Is not in
service in the army. That he il pur-
suing these studies and passing through
discipline which are to fit him for higher
duty and perhaps greater achievements in
military life does not. in our opinion, at
all affect or even touch the status given
him in unmstakable words by the laws
under which both the academy and army
exist. No private soldier in the army Is
more III the service than cadet at West
Point"
II the decision OF the Court OF CLAIMS
j. sustained it will adj four years TO the
period OF service at West Point in the
computation Of longevity service.
