Caused by Digging Too Near
the Foundations.

A section Of the two-story brick building
being erected by the Hitz Baking Com
pany between Alabama street and Virginia
avenue at the viaduct, collapsed about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The accident
caused great excitement for time and
several men were injured.
1t was the southwest corner of the build
ing fronting on Virginia avenue that fell
The cause of the collapse was the under
mining of the stone foundations in the cell
lar. The boilers were to be placed in posi-
ton in a day two and two colored men
were excavating for this purpose. 1t is
supposed they dug too close to the founda-
lions. The men left the cellar a few min
Utes before the collapse and there was for
tunately no one below when the mass of
brick and iron tumbled in. Councilman
Mahlon p. Woody and Nicholas Noe are the
contractors on the building. Three stone
masons and a carpenter were at work on
the section which gave way. They ali went
down with the debris, but managed to
escape without serious injury. John lie
Feber, of No. 2731 Isabella street, North
Indianapolis, was badly shaken up and suf
fered number of severe bruises. Millert
Peters, of No. 247 East Louisiana street.
was severely injured. The other three men
were Ross Stout. Richard Hayes and Jesse
Carr. They were all bruised. DR.. Berauer
attended the injured men.
\ teamster was unloading brick near the
falling wall and his team was caught in
the wreck. The horses were eXtricated with
considerable difficulty, but were not badly
burt. A few minutes before the accident
happened, five men were working in the
cellar, but had been ordered to another
part of the building. The crash of the fall
ing walls attracted crowd and some one
to the nearest box and sent in a fire
alarm. Chief Barrett, with the apparatus
from headquarters and other engine houses
in the district, responded to the call. Con-
tractor Woody said the work the build
ing would be delayed only a few hours.
