iuring other buildings. c. D. Nash was
told this by the chief and he accordingly
let the contract of tearing down the wall
to mason who will Immediately erect
scaffolding on the roofs of other buildings
and proceed with the work. Henry Grier,
a big hearted sailor, this forenoon render
ed most efficient service in assisting TO
tear down dangerous walls. He scaled the
wavering columns and fastened ropes with
intrepidity which provoked volumes of
praise. He also sang his sailor
songs, thus aiding in pulling the tackle.
Grier approached Chief Lippert with tears
in his eyes and begged to be allowed to
work. He did not want any money, but
he wanted to assist in some way.
STILL SMOKING.
When the density was not so pronounced
the smoke would issue from small assures,
curling up through the air in graceful
turns and proving the assertion that
heated furnace ragged below. Like min
iature world, rough and smooth,
rolling and full of rayines
the mass presented plenty OF thought for
deep meditation. Here mound covered
with CLASSY facing of ice, and at another
place broken pile of frozen bricks. Here
stood the vault, here the elevator, here the
interior yard, and one posted could locate
vividly all of the details of the house. The
outings and jagged timbers and iron
beams were hard to remove.
| Once inside the walls, and work pro-
gressed slowly-and will until sufficient
space is obtained to throw back the
pieces without carrying them and heaving
them on the sidewalk. It is proposed to
work back, clearing out one section and
then re-flling it with the debris from the
next, In this manner the street will not
be blocked, and all the purposes of the
searches will be accomplished. A great
deal of anxiety is felt in regard to the
north wall, which rears its weird proper
tions skyward some sixty feet intact, and
may at any moment topple over and add
another long list of casualties to
THIS HORRIBLE oHAPTER
| in the history of the city. The workmen
are kept out of reach of harm provided the
wall does not fall full length into ruins,
about 90 feet being allowed for it to drop
before the working gang would be reached.
The wall in question is partnership con-
| Germ and the owners have been ordered by
the chief of the fire department to build
| 5caffolding and tear il down from the top.
It is thought best not to raze it for some
reason or other, and the work of demolition
will be commenced Immediately.
In the southwest corner of the basement
ship load of coal had been stored and
this is still burning and sending forth a
volume of smoke that interferes somewhat
with workmen on the windward side. The
more people think about the condition of
the house as regards fire, the more indig
nant they become. There was not brick
partition wall in the building nothing but
wood, which burned like shavings. The
owners of the building knew it was unsafe
and they are -
SEVERELY CRITICIZED.
Mr.. Rose, secretary of the local board of
underwriters, made an examination of the
building about two weeks ago. He con-
siders that the building is very unsafe,
and he is an authority. He examined the
housh to see what risks should he taken on
it. Fire was very apt to catch in the laun-
dry. Mr.. Antisdel regarded this as the
most dangerous part of the house. In the
kitchen, the walls of the chimneys
were cracked. The cook said they had set
fire few days before, but he succeeded
in putting it out.
