fiery language which produced sensation as .

10 enforce the forfeiture clause in the con-
tract unless the ball was finished. He had
never had any difficulty with Mr.. Metzerott on
money matters and never had business dealings
with better man. The walls were well braced
and during . recent storm he had walked over
them and found they were not shaken at all
The specifications for the upper walls called
for lime mortar, butsMr. Metzerott agreed to
pay the extra expense OF cement, and barrel
Of cement was used to every thousand of brick.
ARCHITECT FAvA
Mr.. Fava, member OF the firm Of architects
that designed the plans and drew up the speci-
6cations for the building, was the last witness
Of the morning He said that they had not
superintendent the construction of the building
and so could not say whether the specifications
had been lived up to. The superintendent
Mr.. Summers, reported directly to Mr.. Met
zerott though his salary was deducted from
the architects commissions.
Mr.. Fava characterized the building as an
iron structure. and told what the method of
erection was that the architects had decided
upon. The iron framework should all have
been put up first and the walls should all have
gone up together. Putting up the side walls
SO much faster he regarded as fault in the
construction. In his estimate fifty feet of wall
would be the equivalent of four stories, no
matter what use the building was to be put to.
There was real difficulty between the
owners and the architects. The latter had been

the work placed in charge of clerk of the
works. The insertion of the iron piers was not
an element OF weakness as il was an iron build
ing. and the bricks were simply used as filling.
number of other styles of filling were con-
sidered, but brick was fixed upon as being the
cheapest
At O'Clock the hearing was closed. and the
witnesses and reporters were excluded from
the room.
THE VERDICT.
After being out for about half an hour the
jury returned verdict as follows: That the
said George White came to. his death about
1880 o'clock IN. November %, 1891. at No.
ILL., street northwest, in the city of Washing
ton, d. c.. by being buried under the wallis of
the new building known as Metzerott Hall
during the storm VI that date.
From the evidence we believe that the acci-
dent was the result Of careiessly carrying the
side walls too high above the front walls with
out other proper support We further believe
that the owners of the building, the inspector
of buildings, the contractor and the superin-
tendent OF the work are all to blame in the
matter.

To tho Editor OF The Evening Star:
The interview unpublished in THE SrAR with
W. c. Chase places tina. gentleman in the posi-
ton Of marlplot rather than that of re-
former. lnstead Of accepting the situation and
making the best OF it he maps out line OF
turbulent opposition. As between, politically
speaking, those stalwart republicans, Col. Car
son and Andrew Gleeson, aud those whom Mr..
Chase prefers to them favor the former. They
may not be up in their English according TO
Chase. but their loyalty to the pjnciples Of the
republican party has never been questioned.
Credit. and not detraction, should be given Q

Mrs. White is an invalid and the terrible
death OF her husband has proven a very serious
shock to her. Her second daughter, Miss Char
lotte White. is in charge and is doing all she
can, unassisted as she is, for the unfortunate
ones. Notwithstanding the pitiable condition
in which the family has been left numbers of
people who had clothes at the establishment on
street where the accident occurred have been
calling during the day asking about their
goods and wanting to know what arrangements
can be made for reimbursement for their loss.
In fact, lady and gentleman called
upon this . business very soon after
the party returned Wednesday from the
cemetery, where the last rites over the re-
mains OF the father and husband had been
solemnized Miss White has been kept from
the bedside OF her mother where she is needed
a large part of the day by parties describing
their dresses, habits, &C., in detail and anx-
iously wanting to know whatcan be done about
them.
