Onlcer Munroe's Death.
The sad and fatal accident which bcfel
Officer Munroc OF the superior civil court OF
this city, was one OF that class Of casualties
which cast a gloom over an entire commun-
ity. but which should not be with out its
lesson. There is always great danger al
tending the taking down Of a building OF
any kind, and when it comes TO razing one
composed Of granite block. weighing from
a ton upward, il is plain to be seen that the
chances in that direction are greatly en-
hnncrd. such operations in the city
always attract great crowds Of the curious,
aud the wonder is that more are not killed
or injured in attempting to crafty morbid
desire To know what is going on. In TINS
case a huge block OF granite was being low
cred, the rope broke and the stone went
crashing to the Sidewalk below; strangely
enough, after the stone had fallen dlle long
boom OF the derrick gave way and tn
reached the crowd ON the opposite side oi
lla! ward pace, with the result Of sing gang
out but one victim among the mauy persons
Standing there.
