At Bockford, 111., die inner walls of the north side of tbs court house fell in nimut noon on Friday, burying a number of workmen. Several an known to be killed, others injured, and others still ben oatli the ruins. There is great excitement in the vicinity. A Chicago Tribune epeeial from ltuckford says A pall lias fallen over what this morning was a happy community. The Winnebago County Court House, which, when tlie citizens commenced their day's labor, was the pride of their hearts, is now a desolate ruin.

The building was not yet under tlie roof, anil the massive stoue cornice, which preceded the roof, was today being put on. Just us the keystone was being planed in the dome of tlie main pavilion, the brick work between the iron and the stone gave way. and tlie entire dome and interior walla of the structure came crambllng down with crash which was heard nearly a mile away. The style of the building is French Venetian, of Kenaiaaance design, by Henry L. Gay of Chicago, and the contract for the building was let to W.

D. Biulisrds of Bpringtlehl, who, in the spring of 1870, began the work. It bus two pavilions, a centre dome over the front entrance, and two pavilions on each side, about thirty feet above the level of the cornice. The dome is 119 feet from the ground, and supported by front walls on the north suls and two iron columns, from ten to twelve Inches in diameter on the inner side. These columns rest npon a brick wall going up from the ground floor to the floor of the court room.

In the House yesterday afternoon Messrs. Fill-Imry of Uoston, Dunham of Fittafield and Knowl-ton of Ne Medford were appointed a committee to consider and report at wliattlino the Legislature can be proroguod.

THS STATS PBISTISa gave rise to a considerable debate, ths matter coming up in a resolve to provide for advertising for proposals for a sow contract for a period of Hvs years.

The Committee os Finance recommended an amendment to Insert ths following words: Provided, however, that the contract ball bo given to the lowest Udder therefor, who I shall, upon Investigation, appear to the committee to possess the proper facilities for the satisfactory execution of ins work." Tide was opposed by several members, who took tha ground that it was unnecessary, and was something of sietleo-tion upon the board of officers who si designated to min tha eon tract. It was advocated by Hamm. Stone of Nawhury-port, Johnson of Brookfield, Knowlton of New Medford end others simply as a business projwMl-tlon, and alter lielng adopted, the resolve was ordered to a third reading.

ARTHUR CHENEY MR. W. R. FLOYD Sernud and Last Week EDWIN SATURDAY, Afternoon, at II. Bulwer'e LADY EDWIN KOOTH Evening, at 741, RICHARD The Mettle felt humiliated that such things as the testimony recorded had happened.

In bis opinion tlio people of the Htate would demand a radical change in the management of the institution, lie would not lie aatiklied with anything short of tliadis-charge of every man, from the siqierintenilent down to tlio farm lalmrere. He criticised the trustees for not knowing what was going on in tlio school, and dwelt at length upon the piinlsb-uienta at the Institution, referring to the teali-uumy of the boys. Mr. Allen of Plymouth said the resiling of the tenliinuny sent thrill of horror through his veins. It seemed as though the civilisation of tlie Htate had been set lock 1511 years.

Tlie senator Iroui Franklin bad given but small epitome of amnsemmts. tbo absolute intoxication of wrong on tli part of hoiied gentlemen would go to read the book ol evidence ns they lee, mil let it teach them their duty toward the Imya who have been so horribly itltu1 treated at tbia Institution.

It appears that the lower brick walls were crushed by tlie weight of the upper masonry, and crumbled like so muoh rotten mortar, bringing with it the entire interior of the building, taking all the rafters of corrugated iron and tlie celling of every room, with its concrete filling. The iron joint and tha scaffolding came down in a torriflo mass, bringing with it near, ly all tha workmen who were operating on the top of the building at the time of the accident. There were from twenty to twenty-Hve men at work.

A man named Timothy Flanagan, who was just putting in tlie keystone of the final cornice, jumped fur the guy-rope of a big derrick in front, but missing hia aim lie fell 120 feet to tlie earth, and waa dashed to pieces. At the time hut few persons were upon the scene. Tlio mass of human beings, with tlie exception of four or live who juaijrad from tlie windows, fell inside the tottering walls, and were buried in the di hri. The whole structure looked aa though it would fall, ami those assembled were appalled and knew not what to da To go near enough to tlie structure to rescue those mangled and blooding in the ruins was hazardous in the extreme, but brave men went fearlessly to work Iwfore tlie dust cleared away and commenced to extricate the deail and dying. Indescribable horror ensued.

Men were lying terribly mutilated, shrieking for assistance, that was only rendered at tlie risk of the bystanders lives. One unfortunate man named 'William Glass waa extricated, hut one of hie lega waa left beneath a ponderous stone. He soon expired in great agony, as he lay upon the greensward in front of tlio court house. A negro jumped from a window sixty feet from the ground, anil though badly injured will probably recover. Within ton minutes after the disaster four liodiea were recovered.

The city surgeons were promptly on hand, rendering aid to tlie wounded, who were carried on stretuliers to tin- nearest hotels. A Swede named Andrew Bildald had his head split open, liut tha wound was closed and tlie victim was taken home and may live. Up to eight o'clock this evening tlie following list of the victims hue been obtained Fred Uaugli, dead, and hia remains are yet in tlie building; A. 1 laugh is dead: A. Lucas, engineer, leg broken and badly injured; T.

Hayes, engineer, may recover; William Mo-lnuess, leg broken, elbow injured and scalp wound; J. F. Peck, mortally injured; J. lipe, dead; A. U.

nollenbark, dead tlielr remains are in the building; Georgo Smith, badly hurt: J. Warren, missing anil la probably dead: George Glaaa, colored, dead; Hugh Kldreds, hurt in leg ami face; Timothy A. Flanagan, dead; Liuliolm. dying; J. Ixwson, colored, reported dead; A.

Bildahl, liadly injured and may recover; H. W. Ames, head badly hurt; Benjamin Brown, colored, slightly hurt; Isaiah Jninnelly, two severe scalp wounds and cut in the head; Cicero Dixon, con union on tli igh. All the wounded will probably recover, O. Harris of Dixon, who had his leg amputated, will probably die.

A coroner's jury baa been called, and identified tlie dead bodies. They will make a thorough investigation. The clergymen have arranged for a union meeting on Sunday evening toTioid memorial services. A subscription for tlie relief of the families of tlie wounded anil deail will he started. It believed that at least ton or twelve lives have been lust, and about fourteen persons more or less injnred.

The loss to tlie building will be MO.OUU to SdS.OOO. Superintendent Ixtliaiu lays tlie blame on Architect Gay, whose instructions were followed out implicitly. Richards will pot talk about tlie matter. The papers place the blame on different shoulders. Tlie digging for the missing is still going on.

Jin then went on to iliscritni nate between unuecrekary aud severe punish' merits, and cUlmed that excessive punishments were rare, though severe punishments were made necessary in some cases because ol the circumstances under which the institution had of necessity bteu managed.

The discovery Is reported of some strange petrifaction in Colorado, tlie precise locality of the find being kept a fiecret. According to the tory a Mr, Allen of Boeheetor, V. while prospecting in the vicinity of a range of foot hilla, found wlinthe eunposod to be A petrified ooconnut. it wm muon larger tlwn the ordinary fruit of tliii kind, hut Almost perfect in formation The three eyes of a ooconnut were plninly to be seen. On brooking open the strange stone or petrifaction the shell appeared perfect, be lug some half an lnoh in thickness, and the Inrido wm composed of white crystal quarts.

Mr. Allen continued hli lnveetfraitions and discovered a number of other specimens similar to the first, also others resembling other kinila of fraita. Soma of these oontained what appeared to seeds lmlieddled In quarts. Specimens of petri lied wood in large quantities were also found. In digging Into tlie aide of the hill Mr.

Allen unearthed what seemed to be a perfectly pc trilled sea turtle, and before closing his Investigations about a dozen of theee were discovered. He described them to ns being almost perfect, and no doubt appears to remain in hie mind but that they are genuine petri it oationi of sea turtle, uuli are found in tlie Faoitlo. From the numerous specimens of shells that are found at various polcea on the plains, and numbere of which are found in this neighborhood, many person! are led to believe that the neat plains were atone time the bed of an Immense ocean, and this discovery tends to confirm that theory, Thx Discoverkbs ov Ax juttbesia. A noteworthy addition to tha literature of tha long conflict between tha rival claimants for the 'discovery of amesthesla hM been contributed by Dr. J.

Morion Sims. It is an attempt to rat the facta in chronological order. Die. wells, Morton end Jackson are tee three wboee names have in popular fame been most closely associated with the dlscovenr. To theee Dr.

Crawford W. Long of Georgia should he added, and Dr. Bimi thinks should be accorded the priority. Tbe obstacle to a quick acquisition of thia title to fame, which stood In the way of Dr. Long, Is thus quaintly stated: He wm waiting to teat hia great discovery in some capital operation.

Ha lived in an obscure little town where there were no railroads and no ponderous machinery to malm bis fellow men, and tha amputation of a leg or arm wm an era In the life of a country doctor. While he wm still waiting for larger operations before communicating his discovery to some scientific journal, the labors of Wells and Morton and Jackson and Simpson bunt upon tee world." Dr. Long's tint use of ether os an anrasthetic in a surgical operation ia determined in IMS. The rival discoverers were in general unfortunate; Well Aram mltted suicide while insane; Morton died of congestion of the brain: Jackson la hopelessly Insane, and confined in an asylum; Dr. Long is old, poor, snd burdened with a family.

These are tbe American discoverer. Dr. Sims tugs that to them or their survivors a pecuniary recognition to fairly due. Sir Jama Y. Bimpaon received high honor from the British Government for the discovery of tee aniPstheUa use of chloroform, and the service he had performed for humanity wm thus foirlv recognized.

Dr. Sims thinks that the sum of ought to be appropriated by CougreM and divided between the families of Drs. Itong, Wells, Morton and Jackson. N. Y.
