Damaged by a Blast,

NoRwALK, Conn.,, Jan. 13.-A destructive blast occurred in the deep sewer trench at the corner of Main and Wall streets at 3:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Wilson building, at the southeast corner of the two streets, was seriously damaged. Most of the windows were shattered by the flying stones, and portion of the wall was driven in. The gas main was broken in pieces, and could not be repaired in less than twenty-four hours, so that all that part of the town had to depend on kerosene and the electric lights for it's illumination last night. The rock at the time of the blast was we'll covered with heavy timbers, which were thrown in every direction. he sewer trench at this point tunneled twenty feet deep under the tracks of the horse railroad, which escaped injury, as the force of the blast was away from the tracks Contractor Cram has had close work to save himself on this contract, and the damages he will now have to pay will leave him the loser of large amount of money.
