and Loses Life.

Boston, March 31.-By the collapse

broken, shoulder sprained and posi-
bly, internal injuries.

injuries.
All the injured were removed to hos
pitfalls, Gallagher is in a very serious
condition and his life hangs by a
thread; Brown was sent home after his
wounds had been dressed and the other
two, 1t is believed, will recover.
The wrecked building was to have
been a three story apartment hotel,
and was being built by the Brandon
Building Trust.
Foreman Smith was the first to real
iZe the impending danger. He heard
an ominous grating sound and noticed
the bullying of the walls. With shout
of warning to the other II or IS men at
work on the structure he ran to the
basement and attempted to shore up
the rear of the building. Not over two
minutes had elapsed, however, before
the entire building collapsed. with a
roar that was heard half mile away,
engulfing the five men in a mass of
tangled iron, and wooden debris.
Smith was found in the center of the
ruins almost buried under thewreckage.
When taken out his chest was found to
be terribly crushed and although he
was still alive he died few minutes
later. Gallagher was semi-conscious
when found.
The building is complete wreck.
