 tenement house of Peel & Mccarthy last | Monday. The chimney, which only rested upon supports in the cellar, collapsed, taking with it to the cellar a portion of the kitchen floors, with the stoves of both tenements, which were badly damaged. Fortunately there was no one near enough to be injured, though washing was in progress in both tenements. It must have been two badly frightened women who looked on the scene of the wreck. The work of repair is busily going on, but alas for the stoves, one of which was nearly new and will be great loss to it's owner.
