tended above the columns, and were
between forty and fifty feet il height
Work wss progressing as usual, the
brick layers end their assistants being
busily engaged in elavating the walls
still higher. Without a sign OF warn
ing, two OF the brick columns inmedi-
ately underneath then gave way, The
arches fell, and with them, those OF the
workmen who were Cd top. All lay IN
heap OF the grOurd, the men bruised
and bleeding, und partially buried IN
pile OF brick and NOR ar.
Willing hands we're busy az once in

women and children should be deprived
of the very necessaries OF life 10 order to

the chances for honest, industrious men

This contract was and is Infamous and

THE CATHEDRAL ACCIDEN
No Blame can be Attached to any
One. the accident 0eing
Uuavsida BILE.

Whenever the first shock, attendant
| upon sn accident i'll any community,
has passed over, inquiry is usually
begun with the obi ct OF aScerrsinipg g
the responsibility. The misfortune at
the cathedral on Saturday afternoon, by
which elk men miraculously escaped
death, was 10 exception.
Ruuiors we're rife upon the streets az
to faulty construction, carelessness OF
contractors, etc, and CITIZEN repre-
sentative has taken pains to MAKE a
fuil investigation with the object of as
ceftaiaing the truth. In The excitement
which followed the accident, it IVES al
most impossible to gather any reli1bie
Information bnt later the full facts were
easily ascertainable.
In the interior of the cathedral, q
pillar had been erected to sustain :he
center OF two arches, extending from
one wall to another. In keeping wifi
the policy which hes been pursued from
the very beginning OF the worS, the
ground was opened to a depth where II
was perfectly sold. Upon this was
butt the foundation for tbe pillar, and
it was as solid as stone and mortar could
1t. The cehter of this column was form
ed OF sn iron pipe, one inch in thicKnes
and six inches in diameter. weighing
nine hundred pounds. The bricks
forming the outside of the pillar were
moulded especially TO tt snugly around
the iron pipe. At intervals, from
bottom to top, caps OF wrOuGh iron, 15
inch boiler plate, were slipped over the
pipe, and the brick placed on top Of
these caps. The column wse two feet
one inch in diameter in the clear, and
10 feet high, end ives model of srchi-
tecuural beauty and strength. On TOP
of the column was another iron plate
with iUgs extending down into the iron
pipe. Temporary uprights we're erected
alor gsiGe this column, and temporary
wooden arches we're put in plsce, over
which the masonry wGs placed The
brick arches he'd beed completed, and
the work Of extending the walls over
thsm still higher, was in process. A
workman had been instructed to remove
the upright supports, and in 30 doing
sccideG tally dislodged one of the tempo
been dry ard set, this would not have
made ths slightest difference but the
fact that the morssr was green, and that
the tremendous weight of many pounds
masonry wgs suddenly placed upon
thes q arches, caused then to give way,
end they fell to the ground.
There was no possibility OF avoiding
the occurrence, and no blame can posi-
bly, attach to anyone. Tt Q coastrcc-
tion CT the new cathedral has teen OF
the very cagefullest from the beginning,
and 90 far as completed there ia no better
piecs OF work in the territory. Mecbau-
les and artisans are requested to ex-
anime the structure and satisiy them
selves OF the truth of these statements,
il any doubt exists. The architect, MIR.
Hugh Monisr, was on top of the walls
juet few moments before the accident
occurred. and only escaped being one of
Victims by being called to his office. He
regrets that the accident occurred, and
courts the most thorough investigation.

ARIZONA ADVERTISED

T he "clrcuit ohasere" have come and
gone. A large concousse of people eb-
ioyed an exhibition of riding by come
OF Americas fastest racers. The pleas
ure attendant upon such an occaelon
endures longer with some than others.
Tucson wss treated with coneidaTa
tion which was refused every point OF
note between Los Angeles end San
Antonio, and Tucson left an impress
sion with these much travelled men
which will outl.ye the remembrance OF
the races.
Some facts relative to the broad effect
of such an occasion as this bicycle meet
may not be unintsresti5g, and may serve
as pointer in the preparation OF future
entertainments Of similar nature. The
men who did the riding vera not the
only members of the party who came in

United States, is assisted IL his work
by two expert stenographers AM
telegrapher. The reporter is selected
for his ekill in this particular line OF
work, and bis Judgment is relied upon
by every one who reads his contribu-
tions. He reflects the sentiments and
op;niens of the expert ridere.
Fitty-seveu daily papers directly, and
an Unlimited number indirectly were
furnished tTo thousand two hundred
words descriptive Of the Tucson meet.
The article not only contained technic-
81 report OF the races, but set forth the
fact that Tucson possesses the mostsuperb
climatic influences for endurance OF any
po,nt ever visited by the riders. 1t also
states that the track is incompatible.
It pays glowing tribute to the liberia
iity and enterprise of Tucson people.
Thousands who never heard of Tucson
before will read of her many advantages
as set forth in this report, and will long
TO know more-to see for themselves.
This widespread prominence will be
still further augmented by the corrobor-
ating recitals Of those who were here 10
