THE DUBLIN DISASTER.

United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received September 5, 9 a.m. London, September 4, The Corporation Inspector in July directed certain improvements to the collapsed tenements, which were duly carried out. The accident is likely to lead to an inquiry into Dublin slums which are the worst in the United Kingdom. Twenty thousand families, approximately a third of the population, are living in one-roomed tenements.

A pathetic discovery was made in the ruins of a little boy in a cot with a look of terror and a tear stained face, and his hand clasping the bed dotes convulsively and body almost bruiseless. It is believed that he died of suffocation.
