CAPITAL NOTES.


When, u week ago, we expressed
the opinion that the work and ma
t,rial IN the new additions to the
capitol were all that need be desired,
Our faith in the integrity Of the
architect and contractors WAS no
more implicit than it is to-day, after
the great calamity of Thursday has
occurred, and the Capital City is
draped ia mourning for the victims
who found ia the edItiee funeral
pyre. But that there has cen grave
errors Of judgment, or fatal def
cheney Of execution somewhere, may
be true.
A thorough investigation has be-
gun, and no effort will be spared to
discover the cause Of the disaster,
and determine if possible on whom
rests the terrible responsibility. a
coronor's jury having viewed the
victims has for two days been tax
ing testimony, and is not near
through ut this writing All evil
denee thus far sustains the theory
that the first part Of the structure 70
give way was the interior, and hence
that the fatal defect must have been
in the cross walls or pillars support
ING the second and third floors.
Many witnesses testify to having
seen cracks and other defects in the
partition walls and pillars, but it
does not conclusively appear that
/ the cracks were Of such character
or SO located as to cause apprehen-
sion that the building was unsafe be-
cause of them. Men at work in the
| building at the time it fell testify to
having seen cracks, but the fact that
they continued work is strongly In
! dicatiye that they did not regard the
building as, therefore, likely to col
lapse, though now that it has col
/ lapsed the same men naturally at
/ tribute it to the cracks which they
noticed. 1t is also shown by tho
testimony Of workmen that some de
fects noticed had been repaired
which 10y some is accepted as con
p elusive that the work was carelessly
or improperly done ut first Such ;
conclusion is not justified II IL
perhaps impossible to name a build
inc of like proportions erected fol
public or private uses, in which wer,
, not found defects in the course o
construction that needed to be rem
E edied. That there were material de
r fects in the structure SO conspicuou
that the casual observer noticed
: them is improbable. The architec
and contractors undoubtedly knew
Of the cracks SO freely spoken Of
and ought to know whether or no
they were Of a character, or SO lo
Gated as to endanger the buildin.
and ieopardize their own lives an.
the lives Of three score workmcu
To admit theory that the crack
mentioned, which could not have e;
capped the notice Of the contractors
l. if SO prominent as some would no'
3 have us believe, were the cause Q
;. the disaster, is to admit that th
g architect, contractors and workmc
f were reckless Of their own ssfety a
/. well as Indifferent to the safety g
! others. Such theory il incnnsis

those laws ought to be at once en-
forced, and the traffic in the nasty
