By the giving way of sorne old ruasonry on whioh a supporting irou beam rested a part of the brick front of the new addition to the Cook house feil into the street last evening. The portion vhich feil was about 80 feet wide aud full four stories high, the workinen being engaged in laying the fina! luyers of brick, when the foundations gavu way. The wall was old, being part of the old original Cook honse, and was only eigut inches tbick. The weigbt resting on it was too great for it. Luoikly the trestles were on the inside. The wall falling outwards no one was hurt, although there were a number of uarrow esuapes. The damage is considerable. A. L. Nowlin, of Ypsilanti, is propiretor of the hotel.
