A Narrow Escape. The scaffolding at a new building in course of erection in Bourkostreet, Molbourno collapsed suddenly A last wool, three men narrowly cscap-T ing instantaneous death. The scaf- ' folding was erected in the wall reserved for tho staircase. A laborer named M'Culloch had just emptied a barrow load of plaster on t!:e platform, some fifty feet from the pavement, when tho staging suddenly collapsed, and before he could gain a place of safety the heavy ma6s of beams and woodwork crashed down into the well, cantfnjjjcCulloch with it m its fall. The whole mass collapsed on the top of an engine situated in the basement, and used for hauling material to tho summit of tho building. Tho engine-driver (a man named Featoitdy) and the clerk of the work (Mr Burcholl) wore standing by the engiuo at the time of the collapse, aud were buried beneatlraA vast heap of broken planks and br«gand mortar. M'Oulloch. who layon the top of tho ruins, sustained p. fracture of tho right thigh; tho other two men having their legs badly fractured. Peatondy and Burchell were so deeply buried that it was an hour before they were extricated. Had the engine not to some ox tent stopped the fall of the debris-, Featondy and Burchell must inevitably have been kilied outright. Additions aro raado to the hat entries for Mr E. H.
