ecaget have resulted in a ter-
rible catastrophe, but which, owing to
its being Sunday night, did riot result
in any loss of liee, took "place shortly
after 8 o'clock on Sunday evening,
when the esetern portion :of the
block, facing on Si. Cathexipe St„ at
the corner of University St., collapsed.
The stonework on St. Catherine and
University Sts. was oarried away, and.
W. U Scroggie's dry goods establish-,
naent, which occupies' the whole of the
eestern part of the' block, was wreek-
eil. Just what causee the °evident,
and who is responsible for it, is not
exactly known at present.
The building, which was originally
°coupled as the Queen's hall, and which
Was later on transformed into the
Queen's theatre, the ground floor be-
ing made into stores, has been stand-
ing for 20 years. Tpe building has
lately been undergoing reconstruc-
tion in order to improve Messrs.
&Toggle's establishment, and it is be-
lieved that the undermining of the
foundation walls on the University St,
side is responsible for the collapse of
L135 building.
CRASH WAS TERRIFIC.
It would seem that from proper
piling not having ,been usedein the or-
iginal eonstruetion the weakest eart
gave way. The collapse occupied less
than thirty seconds, but the force of it
was terririe, and people Who were at-
tending service in Christ Church ca-
thedral close by thought that an
earthquake had taken place. For
fully five minutes before the collapse
cracking sounds which were heard by
pedestrains on the street gave warn-
ing that something was wrong.
A young man who was passing saw
one of the inn. .ee plate glass win-
dows on the gm dad floor crack from
top to bottom, and wondering what
was up, he rustled to the Queen's the-
atre entrance to give the alarm. The
only one in the building at the time
was an old man named Rebeidy, who
acted as janitor and watchman.
ESCAPED JUST IN TIME.
Alarmed by the noise he rushed to
one of the top windows and saw a big
crowd of people gathering. He just
bad time to make his escape from the
building when the collapse occurred..
The building collapsed with a deafening
roar. Stones weighing hell a ton were
hurled on the sidewalk on University
street, iron girders were twisted into
fantastic shapes, and heavy timbers
were 'cracked like matches. University
street was covered with the debris.
Fortunately, there were very few peo-
ple on the street at the time or scores
-of lives would probably have been lost.
• How the accident happened without
any loss of life is almost miraculous.
Only onentierson was injured, and that
very slightly. A Mr. Walker, who was
passing the building, had his hand cut
by flying stones, but managed to es-
cape. Thousands of people on their
way home from church gathered in
front of the building to see the ruins.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT §50,000.
The building was owned by Mrs.
Ogilvie, and Mr. ecroggie had lately
had the portion on the eprner of 'Uni-
versity street, and St. Catherine, which
collapsed, reconstructed. The Queen's
theatre occupied the centre of thelnersk,
and was not injured to any extent.
• The loss is estimated at over $50,000.

the back part of the house the win-
dows were tightly closed -and the
door was shut.
When Mr. Armstrong went to the
fated room at seven o'clock on Satur-
day morting to waken bis wife, he
smelled gas as soon as he opened the
door, and on going to the bed was hor-

dead. Drs. Fraser, Rowan, Brown
and McKenzie were hastily summoned
and did all he their power to resus-

they had been dead four hours. The

THE SHOT ENTERED HIS SIDE.
GeOrge tilneheilife, a Cornwall Motel
Cleric, Fatally 1Vounded.
A despatch from Cornwall, saye:
-George Hinchcliffe, clerk in the
Rossmore hotel, -was accidentally shot,
and it is thought fatally :wounded,
near here on Sunday. Along with
two other young men he had gone
boating in the vicinity of Grey s creek.
They took their gums along with the
:expectation of a .shot at wild duck.
Hinchcliffe was getting into the boat,
pushing his gun ahead. ot him, when it
went off, and, he received the entire
charge of allot in his side. Two ribs
were broken and the liver lacerated.
He was taken to the General hospa
tat, and grave doubts are entertained
of his recovery. He came here from
the Eastern States, and was formerly
employed in the Puritan Club, ot Bs -
ton, Mass.
MUST WEAR MOUSTACHES.
Clean -Shaven British. Officers Arc' Called
Down.
A despatch from tondon, says: -
The Secretary of War, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, has issued a circular to
the general officers saying he has
noticed that a predominant fashion
exists among young officers to shave
the upper lip, and added that this is
much to be regretted. The result is
that many unfertile lips aro being
coerced for moustaches. The regula-
tioe against shaving the upper Op has
been little observed of recent years,
and its revival is unpopular.
