The building was three-story struc-
ture in process of erection at the corner
of Concord and Kendall streets. 1t had
4 frontage of $50 feet on Concord street
and was IS feet deep. The construc-
ton materials were brick. steel and
cement. the front being of a light color
ed brick and the sides and rear of ce-
ment. with interior beams and braces
of steel. The government was to use
a part of the ground floor for postoftice
purposes. The work of construction
had proceeded as far as the roof. the
Orders for which were being put il
today.
When the accident happened at $40
O'Clock this afternoon there We're be-
tween 80 and 40 men at work in the
building. Two or three very loud eX-
plosions or cracks We're heard in rapid
succession and then the north side wall
and about half the front wall col
lapsed and crashed through to the
basement.
Apparently very few of those who
were in the building at the time es-
capped injury. Alth ough the fall of the
building attracted a great number Of
people to the scene, the tottering walls
and the shaky foorings which had not
been carried down by the fall of the
mass of the material made those VIII o
gathered extremely wary about ap-
preaching the ruins. After a few min
utes had elapsed the fire department
was on the scene and the work Of res
cue began in earnest.
In q short time also the members of
Co. ID of the Jth Regiment, NJ. V. NJ,
arrived and they assisted the firemon
in getting out such Of the injured ones
| as were near the top of the mass Of
ruins and in snoring up the wall so
| that the work of digging could be car
ried on with greater safety.
Nearly every physician in the village
as well as in birmingham responded
to the hurried calls which were sent
out as soon as the magnitude of the
disaster was understood. The injur-
ed ones as soon as they were taken out
of the ruins were given quick medical
attention and were then hurried to the
birmingham hospital where prepara-
tons had already been made to receive
them.
One of the first persons taken out o!
the building was George NJ. Amsden
the owner. He was on one of the upper
floors when the crash came. Mr.. Ans
den escaped with fracture Of the leg
and some severe bruises.
AS darkness came on, powerful cleo
trio lamps were rugged so as to illumi-
nate the ruins and the rescue work
went on. Two carloads of Italian Ia
| borers We're brought from Boston and
were put to work shoveling. thus re-
lieving the soldiers and fremen as well
as the citizens who had volunteered.

1t was reported that six men were
at work in the rear corner next to the
side wall which collapsed and 1t was
believed tonight that their bodies were
buried many feet deep
While there were numerous rufhors
tonight as to the cause of the accident
no official statement could be obtained.
1t was the general opinion about the
town tonight that the accident was due
to the slipping of one of several of the
Orders. A prominent citizen velun-
teered the statement that one Of the
Orders slipped last Friday and was
pushed back into place by the work.
men. Several persons who have bus
mess in the immediate vicinity Of the
building state tonight that what SEEM
ed to them to be unusual quantities
of cement were used in the building,
especially during the past two or three
weeks. The building was to have been
finished July l and for the past two
months work on ii has been rushed.
At late hour tonight the condition
Of those ut the hospital was reported
as being comfortable with the excep-
ton of Chester Nicholson, whose back
is very badly injured.

continued without interruption
throughout the evening.
About 10 o'clock the body of Frank
Driscoll WAS recovered and half an
hour later that of c. F. Hardy was TAX
en- from beneath several steel beams.
1t was a late hour, however. before
the seventh body. which proved to be
that of James Walsh, was recovered
while just before midnight the eighth,
that of one Of the Italian laborers. was
dragged out by the soldiers.
Many of the Italians from Boston re-
fused to go very far beneath the ruins
and the last two bodies were brought
out by the soldiers Of the 9th Regiment.
Fred Cunningham, who was report
ed among the missing. was said to have
been on the roof of the building when
1t collapsed. Some one said they heard
him shout: run for your lives, and
then. instead of following his own adj
vice he dashed in the opposite dIrec-
ton to his death.
At 10 o'clock tonight 1t was reported
that three children were playing in
front of the building when the walls
fell out and that all were crushed to
death. At the time the mass Of material
in front Of the building was yards
deep and there was very little chance
of clearing it for many hours. &c

But It Wipes Out the
Walton Home At Wayne.
Barn Struck and Flames Soon
Sweep All the Buildings.
Narrow Escape Of ssvsral---Loss Nearly
$4,000; Insurance Only $1,000.

Wayne, Me-, July 23.-(SpeciaD.-
The farm buildings owned and occupied
by j. d. Walton and son, II. N. Wal
ton We're struck by lightning and en-
tirely consumed in Saturdays shower.
The bolt struck the stable which con-
meets the house and barn and the
flames quickly spread to both.
In the stable at the time were j. d.
Walton. H. N. Walton, w. B. Frost.
James Ridley. c. S. Riggs and the two
small boys of II. N. Walton.
1t seemed almost a miracle that no
one was hurt. Almost the entire crop
of hay was cut and in the barn and
stable. So fast did the fire spread
horses out and one calf. Five hogs
persisted in the fire.
This farm was probably the best
equipped with modern farm machines
and tools of any in this town. Wagons,
carts, double and single harnesses,
harrows, ploWs, cultivators, manure
spreaders, cream separator, tanks,
cans, robes, blankets. and all supplies
went up in the flames. Also $50 worth
of grain and two tons of phosphate,
also a good supply of provisions, in
Guiding a barrel of sugar, a barrel of
-four, 5 gallons of molasses, etc.
From the house, some bedding and
clothes We're saved and few other
things but most everything valuable
including a sum of money was burned.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000. insurance $1,000. The friends
and neighbors are kindly remembered
for help and sympathy.
During the heavy shower of Satur-
day afternoon the barn of f. NJ. S. Abb
bolt was struck by lightning breaking
out one rafter and splintering the
boards. A horse standing within three
feet was very much frightened but
otherwise unframed.

which accompanied the severe electrical
storm which visited this section of the
State Saturday, struck the buildings of
Mrs. Cynthia J. Weymouth on Billings
hill, East Newport and fire caused by the
bolt burned the buildings to the ground
making q loss estimated to be in the re-
gion OF 1890.
The house, which was built of brick
was Quilted by the flames and the walls
are the only things left of what was one
of the best set of farm buildings in this
vicinity In the barn was 20 tons of hay
and practically all of the farming imple-
ments All Of the farming implements
were destroyed with the exception of the
moving machine. which was left in the
yard by men who had been making use of
1T in the haying. The furniture was re-
moved from the house and was badly
damaged by the drenching rain. The loss
is partially covered by insurance.
