FIRE AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. . . The .Baltimore Morning Chronicle of Monday, . A '. . . " .J. contains the following: Our citi zens were alarmed yesterday mornings at about three oclbck by the cry of fire; on repairing to the spot, we found.it orginated in a large warehouse in North How-ard-st. near Franklin, occupied by Mr. Henry Webb, an extensive wholesale grocery and produce dealer. The progress of the de vouring element was so rapid, that in a short time the whole, in terior of the house in which the fire commenced, and an adjoining one, devoted to a similar object, was in flames. As usual, our fire men displayed the greatest dar ing and activity, and we do not recollect e ver to have had our fee lings more cafled upon than by an occurrence which took place Ar Robert Norris, a fireman con spicuous for his intrepidity on all occasions, having charge of the pipe ot the ; Washington Hose Company, and Mr. Branson, engi neer .of the Union Company, whose dauntlessnesshas long been proverbial among his fellow citi zens," had led their lines of hose through t wo story frame building, aujoiumg io tnose on tire; and placed themselves. pn the roof, in order to . pre vent it ; from being burned. : The roof of the ware house having tumbled in it 1 wag observed that its' loftychimney and a large portion ot .the gable end j.were pressed from the per pendicular position,' and inclined considerably, towards the place where they stood,' Their friends immediately informed them' of the fact, and , cautioned them' a- gainst' the danger, but they; not Demg awe, owing to their position, to see how much the wall leaned. believed that the apprehensions of their friends were without foun dation, and persisted in retaining their station," and , Noirris even clambered up to the tori of the chimney, that he. might have a better opportunitv to Vive the s ream of water a proper direction. In a short' time what had been ap prehended- occured, nearly the wnote oi tne upper part ot the ga ble be ?an to move alovlvnTfirfft but graduallyjucresing in velo citycrryin?: death and destrucU Jjioh before it. Branson and Norris saw their .imminent danger, and the latter,' leaping from - the chim ney on which he was standing to tne roorf endeavored to screen himself behind it; so rapid was the fall of the wall, that many persons supposed he bad been knocked by it irom the chimney, and in an in stant he and his companion sank amidst the ruins ol the. frame building:, which wasliterallv crush- ed to pieces, and. flattened to the eartn. I he leelings experienced by those who were looking on beggar discription; a thrill of hor ror pervaded the whole crowd,but it was of short duration, a few mo ments only elapsed before both of them were seen rising Irom the ruins apparently unhurt,-waving their ' hands in triumph to-their friends', whn hailed th pm -with hearty cheers.
