 WASHINGTON, DEL, July 29.-During a heavy storm this afternoon rolling mill in course of erection in South Washington col Iapsed, killing two men and injuring nearly g dozen persons who had entered the struc- building was of brick and had just been roofed in. In few minutes many citizens appeared on the scene and hastily set to work clearing a way the debris From the ruins the bodies of the following dead and injured were taken: George Elsey, carpenter, thirty years old, dead; William Jones, draughts- man, forty-five years, dead; James Slnex, laborer, leg crushed; H. Firris Giles, carpen- ter, right leg fractured and injured inter nal1y, condition critical; William Goodwin carpenter, leg broken; Alfred Downward, laborer, leg broken; Charles White, laborer, wrist and ankle broken; George Wilbert, carpenter, leg crushed Others were in jured, but less seriously. Various opinions concerning the cause of the disaster are ex- pressed, but the one given the most credence is that the walls were too weak, having been only nine inches thick. When the walls were being erected, the inspector told the build. T they were too weak, but officers of the com pany argued that they were heavy enough and finally persuaded the inspector to let them stand Since the inspector permitted the erection of the building after practically condemning it it is likely that most of the blame will rest upon him.
