A BAD BfISHAP.
A Large Section OF the Terminal Company
Wall at the Whitaker tllll Falls Down.

Wall at the Whitaker HIlI Falls Down.
Last evening about quarter after Z
o'clock about seventy feet OF the big
stone wall supporting the bank in front
OF the Whitaker mill property, suddenly
collapsed, falling into the creek, and
carrying down with 1t an immense
amount OF the unsubstantial cinder
bank behind the wall.
The news OF the collapse of the wall
spread uptown In very short time In
an exaggerated form, and q consider
able number Of people tramped out 70
the locality during the evening to have
a look at the ruins" and TO speculate
on the cause Of the accident.
The portion OF the wall which fell
was about twenty-five feet high above
| the bed Of the creek, and extended from
a point about fifty feet east OF the west
end Of the wall TO within few yards OF
the south end OF the railroad bridge
across the creek. IL was erected by
Paige, Carey 81 Co., and was supposed
at the time it was built TO be a particu-
larly fine piece OF work, but an inspec-
ton of the ruins last evening hardly
corroborated this opinion, there
being very little mortar visible
in the wall, except at
the extreme outside, the interior
stones appearing TO have been laid up
dry. The earth behind II was very
largely composed of mill clnders, and
on top Of 1t. and quite close TO the wall,
ran a railroad track, upon which heay-
ily-loaded freight trains ran quite fire.
ouently through the tunnel TO the
South Side. Ii is supposed the Earring
OF these trains gradually loosened the
earth back Of the wall, and brought q
pressure upon the masonry which II
| could not stand, the result being that
when the earth entirely lost its self
supporting quality, and It's weight fell
uoon the wall, that the latter was
too light to resist the strain and
fell outward into the bed Of the
creek. Whether this theory is the cor
rect one or not, the wall went down
! with a crash, leaving the railroad track
entirely unsupported, and IL IL remark
able that several cars standing on each
side OF the break were not precipitated
into the bed Of the creek along with the
stone work.
It's likely the work OF repairing the
wall will be commenced forthwith, as
| the tracks through the tunnel cannot
be used until 1t is reconstructed. IL
will likely cost several thousand dollars
10 do this work, as the wall must Dc re-
built clear from the bed OF the creek.

self. A large number OF friends will
visit them to-day, and pleasant time
is anticipated.
There will be a big time at the King
fishers camp to-day and great many
visitors, but the boys have enough hos
pitality to reserve good-sized slice for
each Of their friends. They are camped
at Long Reach. Yesterday afternoon
Meyers full brass band went down
over the Ohio River road and will re-
turn tomorrow night.
An interesting game OF foot ball took
place Friday afternoon between two

which are camped near each other al
Woodland. The teams were captalned
by Wallace Watt and Eddie Cline.
Honors were even.

GOOD ADVICE.

Every patriotic citizen should give his
personal effort and influence to increase
the circulation of his home paper which
teaches the American policy of Protec-
ton. 1t is his duty to aid in this respect
in every way possible. After the home
paper is taken care of, why not sub
scribe for the AMERICAN ECONOMIST,
published by the American Protective
Tariff League? One of its correspon-
dents says: "No true American can
get along without it. consider it the
greatest and truest political teacher in
the United States"
