ASKS FOR AN
ACCOUNTING
Mr.. Levalley Begins a
Novel Proceeding
AGAINST FURNITURE co.
Claims He Has Paid In Full For All
Articles Purchased.
RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.

"A rather novel proceeding was begun
in the Appellate Court today by the I'LL
ing of bill in equity by Henry f. Lee
valley against The Flint Company
wherein he seeks an accounting from
the company in regard to payments
made under the loan system and seeks
to have the respondent company re-
strained from the continuance OF cer-
tain acts that he claims make life at
his home very disagreeable. Citation
has been issued returnable a week
from Saturday. A. b. Patton is Mr..
Levalley's solicitor. trnf yA
The bill recites that the petitioner in
1890 and at other times purchased goods
of The Flint Company of the value or
nearly $500, and for which he has fully
paid the price agreed upon. That,
though he has often requested the COM
pany to give him receipt in full,the
respondent has refused 10 do so, and
claims the petitioner still owes $57.
He also alleges the company has
many times threatened and continues
to threaten that it will remove all the
goods purchased at any time unless the
said sum of $57 is paid. In order to am
icably settle the difficulty the petitioner
has requested an accounting, which
has been refused, and that furthermore
the COMPANY sends agents with moving
teams to the complainants home who
in a loud, insulting and ungentleman-
| like manner, in the sight of and hearing
of the friends and neighbors of your
orator, demand admission to your ora
tors said home for the purpose OF TAX

tification and humiliation of your ora

may be found due. The Flint Com

Part of Brick Block Fell
Without Warning,
A BODY NOT RECOVERED.
Occupants, With One Exception,
Escaped Serious Injury.
FlREMEN AND POLICE AT WORK.

Boston. July 20.-A part OF four
story brick block In Sullivan square.
Charlestown. collapsed last night, and
a number OF persons went down In the
ruins. All were taken out more or less
injured with the exception OF Patrick
Hennigan, whose dead body is supposed
to be in the basement, with half the
building on top of II.
The block was called the Samaritan
house, being used as a lodging house in
the upper stories, while the street floor
was divided into three stores, occupied
by druggist. liquor dealer and a fruit
dealer. The building was an old one
and collapsed In that part occupied by
the fruit store. the three upper stories
coming down into the store. and all
going into the basement. The collapse
was entirely without warning, and the
passers-by were hQrrified to see the
structure fall Fortunately, all Of the
lights in the building were out, so that
fire did not add to the danger OF the
situation.
The dust had scarcely settled before
shrieks and groans were heard In the
ruins. With the assistance Of the fre
and police departments nearly all were
taken out within a few minutes. OF
these, Mary Quinn. 20 years old. was
found to have had her skull fractured
and was sent TO the hospital. where she
is I'm a critical condition. The others
who were taken out were James Mori-
arty. Jeremiah Sheehan and Dominlck
Cardosy, the latter being the proprietor
OF the fruit store. and all escaped with
nothing more than cuts and bruises.
At first 1t was thought that three per-
sons were dead in the ruins, but two
afterwards turned up, so the firemen
bent their energies toward finding
Hennigan. Nearly all of those who
were in the ruins were In the rooms on
the upper floors. and their escape is con-
sidered remarkable.
