ROOL OF JAIL COLLAPSES.

Bedlam broke loose among for
ty-four prisoners in the Atlantic
City Jail, Saturday might, when
nearly 900 square feet of the roof
and skylight of the Jail collapsed
and crashed ON the steel cages
with a deadening roar that echo
ed through police headquarters.
Two women prisoners tainted,
while the rest of the inmates tug
ged at the heavy bars of their
cells and set up a continuous yell.
The accident occurred while a
number of ~house-duty policemen
and city detectives were out.
Turnkey Dicicaco, on duty at the
time, heard an inmate of the up
per tier of cells shout that glass
was falling on the roof of her cell.
Dicicaco started to mount the
steps leading to the upper tier,
when suddenly with a deafening
crash the roof collapsed in a
crash of twisted iron and steel
and heavy broken plate-glass that
formed the skylight.
A call was sent to the fire de-
partment and several companies
reported and stretched a large
tarpaulin across the roof.
