STRUGGLE IN DARK.
BILLIARDS HALL COLLAPSES. SEVEN DEATHS. (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Saturday. A billiards hall in Wolverhampton collapsed without warning while 120 persons were inside. Remarkable scenes followed. In a moment the building was a heap of ruins, with scores of inmates struggling in agony and fear. Rescue work was most difficult owing to the darkness. It is impossible to ascertain the number of deaths until daylight, but it is known that several of the inmates are dead; also some passers-by.
