Imminent Danger of its Crashing into
tue Front of the Clayton House.

Imminent Danger of its Crashing into
tue Front Of the Clayton House.
The big derrick at the corner Of Fifth
and Market streets, used for raising
heavy stone to the workmen on the Cen
trail National Bank building, fell at 10 30
O'Clock this morning It's fall was
checked by the electric light wires on
the western side of Market street. and
no damage was done except the breaking
of several wires
The accident was due to the loosening
Of one of the guy ropes, which had been
tempered with BIZ some young men. Two
men were noticed near the derrick before
it fell, and when it fell they ran down
Market street
II the electric light wires had broken,
the pole. which is 20 feet long. would
have fallen on the wires Of the Delaware
and Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company and would have crashed into
the front Of the CLAYTON House. The
police officers guarded the vicinity of the
pole to keep bystanders from danger.
Contractor johnson sent for the rig
gers. John Bruce, Robert Delaney and
Harry Johnson, and they arrived at /. 40
o'clock They tied a block and tackle on
the taut guy rope and attached the rope
to the windlass and drew the great pole
back into position
Three incandescant circuits, one arc cir
cult and two cross arms on the line of
the Wilmington City Electric Company
We're broken by the crasE. The accident
took place when few lights were
in use, so that it did not
create as much alarm as
II would if it had been earlier in
the evening. The wires will be in order
tonight. This is the second attempt
made to let down the derrick. Hereafter
Contractor Johnson will have a watch
man at the new building, as he is respon-
sible for all damages during it's building.
