THE CAPTTOLLAwAR

The old Capitol of Virginia was bull,
at a time when there were no such modes
Of fastening and supporting floors, galleries,
walls, roofs, as are now employed nor
was the necessity for strength in public
buiialugs len so greet as it is now. There
were no such packed asssscnblagcs drawn
together by excitement and entertainli,:e,n ~
of one kind and another within doors. So
the builders accommodated themselves to
their times. Only the Capitol has lived
beyond its true day, and has added an
other appalling chapter to the history of
this devoted city of calamities.
The Senate chamber-now turned into
the Supreme Court room-did tolerably
well for the old Senate, which could not
originate money bill of any kind, but
was mere revisory body, and little inter-
est attached to its proceedings So, the
ball was never subject to very heavy
weight nothing like that brought upon
it yesterday. The joints were so poorly
joined to the wall that they we're readily
drawn out by the floor when slightly sunk.
The ceiling was what might be termed
false one. There was space of eight or
more feet. between the ceiling and the
joists which rested on the top Of the wall,
and the ceiling was suspended by pieces of
plank rallied to the joists and most
slender support it was. So the gallery
was supported by similar pendants from
the joists above, and when it fell forward
It n doubt gave that start to the ceiling
which the vacuum caused by the descend
ng floor, ended by drawing the whole Of it,
With all its timbers. down upon the heads
It the men who fell with the floor, fear
ully increasing the number Of deaths.
