A despatch from San Francisco saya;-JBy the collapse of the roof of the San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works at 15th. and Bryant: streets on Thursday afternoon, a number of people were ki'led, and about forty more or 1m injured. The victims were watching a football game be- tween the Stanford and University of California teams, when the root be- neath them gave way, precipitating them to the floor of the factory.
