ANTRIM. -Loss of Life
A very sad affair, resulting in the loss of three lives, is reported from Ballycastle, Antrim. It appears that as a consequence of the fearful storm which swept over the district on the night of February 26 a landslip occurred at the limeworks' house in which the caretaker, James Butler, his wife, and chitd resided. Tons of debris crushed through the roof, carrying down the loft on top of the unfortunate inmates, who were killed on the spot.
