His three children were playing on the ground floor, and hearing the noise of the collapse, ran. The two larger ones got out and were unharmed, but the younger one being unable to climb over the foundation sill, was caught and killed by the falling floor of an upper story. The "Post" extends its profound sympathy to Col. Aiken and family in their deep affliction."
