and then cry of horror rose from the

cf :he building pa. t Irom the roof, Ml
culward, snd in less than a minute thc
whole centre of the building fell mm
ruins, burying under the wreck all the
persons who had not ime to jump to
some place of s.fety, after the Oral inti
mation of danger.
The buildings is a range of two plat
forms, one above the other and.is about
50 or CO feel long. The part which
fell was aboul thirty feel in the centie,
and aboul 8 or 10 feet in tue middle ol
the Sou li part or wing.
The scene was one of awful excite
ment for a few minutes; the crowd
luihed to the spol, and insianily com
menced removing Ihe Mien umbels,

believed, at ihe time, thalamic SO or 60
p-raone had been killed and indeed it
seemed Providential circum.iance that
there were not. Fortunately, however
a portion of the baci part was sustain
ed by a tree, which prevented It .rom
falling. A part of the loof fell against
this pari, and remained standing in an
inclined position, the persons who went
dfiwn wilh it escaping with slighl inju-
ry. We have ascertained the name
of sixteen peisons mote or less injured
who were disgeed out ol the ruins, anu
laid upon Ihe grass, or taken upon
boards and doors to the tavern. Many
however, who had received no seno-is
injury, hastened lmmetlialely oU ttie
ground and some seriously wounded
were taken away in cabs.
Some five or rix persons appeared to
be in a dying condition, Mr UJJ.nii
and Mr. Toibert especially. Fortunate

President Jones has issued a proclama
tion, calling upon lhe people lo elect 'depu
iiks' to a convention of the various counties,
to be. held ou the 4 th of July next, to con
sider tho proposition ot annexation to the
United States, and In adopl, if ihey think
expedient, provisionally a constitution, to he
he siibmitied to lhe people for their ratifica
tion, wiih a view to admission into (he
Union.
The President does this because the Con
stitution of thai Republic does not ptovide
for cV'h-prg the organic law. and because
lie believes il competent (or the people
alone lo determine so rnomer.ious a matter.
Ftom ih is il would appear that President
Jones has been foiced, by public opinion,
into an acquicscene with the popular will,
It remains now only for the people of Tex
as, through their lepiecentaiivos, to say
whether they will come in lu the Union or
lot, ll I, tie demonstrations and tho reluc-i-inl
action of the President, be considered
indications of the force and tendency of
popular sentiment, they m-if 1 settle this
piestion allirmaiiveiy in a month's time. If
ilie intrigues foreigners, nd the designing
oneirics o( po iiic lans intlurnred by them,
tre successful in turning the tide of popular
tiding, i.rir.exaii..n is doubtful and Texas
a iI remain the insignificant stole she would
e if fell as a field for foreigners to play
their pranks in, through opposition, hoslili
iy and ei.vy nf the. mowing power and im
portance uf the United Sine. We antic i -,iaie
hotievri, no such result as last alluded
to. Tho unwilling consent of President
Junes lo refer this mailer to the people is a
airoug indication how .ppu!ar scuiiiitent
-:ill ruts,tnd the proposition from lhe U.
States government will recei"e a favotable
"Oiisidi-raiii.ii.
