In course of erection fell with q trsmen-

tuFe was almost one hundred and twenty
feet high, and was nearly finished. The
wOrEmen were on 1t ct dark last evening,
and il Is fortunate for them, at least, that
the falling occurred when It did. The
damage to the main building was not
very serious, but th repairs snd rebuild
ing the tower viii involve the contract
ors in loss of at least i've Thousand dol
lars. The walls were of the most solid
and substantial character, being eight
feet thick at the ground, and rested on g
solid base eight feet deep. Warning
cracks and breaks had been showing
themselves for several days before, but

suit of the ponderous weight of the i'm

plsted according 10 their design, would
hsve been q most beautiful, tasteful and

OF its size In the State, Tha Csuse of the
accident is said TO lie in the too rapid sd-
vance of the work during q very wet

now clearing away the debris, and will
