ELEVATOR COLLAPSED.
Big Structure at New State House
Went Down Before Wind.
No Serious Damage Was Done and Marble
Projections Were Not Injured.

The immense elevator at the north
end OF the new state house building is
no more. for though steadied by three
wire cables OF large size. the force OF
the wind and the weight of the snow
proved to be SO great that the struc-
tune could not stand IT, and with a ter
ribc crash IL fell, shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning. The elevator,
which was constructed of light boards,
went up to a height OF GO feet above the
roof and nobody was surprised TO see
the structure go.
Fortunately no serious damage was
done. and none Of the marble projec-
tions of the building were injured. and
while large portion OF the tlmbers fell
on the roof OF the state house, the eN-
pected damage did not occur. The elc-
vator was used in carrying bricks and
wheelbarrows up 20 the workmen, and
was never used Tor the heavier work OF
lifting up the marble blocks. ON the
south side of the building is another
structure OF similar nature. hut this
does not run up beyond the roof but a
few feet and was protected from the
onslaughts OF thc gale.
Fortunately none of the large dcrricks
were affected by the storm. and they
are too solldlv planted % give rise to
any alarm. In fact with the exception
OF the elevator, no damage whatever
has been done around the rev state
house. and there viii be no delay in
carrying on the work.

One Structure Located at Junction Of
Willard Avenue and Bishop Street.
ALL THE FRAMEWORK DESTROYED.
House on Seventh Street, Three and Half Stories
High, LsWed-- Windows We're Left Open
and the Wind Got D Its Work

Saturday nights blizzard played all
sorts Of unpleasant pranks with public
and private property, and the force of
the wind was such that on all sides
trees. awnings, signs, chimneys and
blinds were blown down, and the fire
and police alarm system was more or
less bothered, but not nearly as much
so as during the heavy storm which oc-
Cured on January 81 last. The vio-
lence of the gale seemed TO increase as
the evening advanced, until by mid
night It was something alarming.
Perhaps, the most serious damage
was that done TO two houses, which
were blown down and wrecked so COM
pletely that they will have to be re-
built from their foundations Both the
structures were in process OF erection
and in one case the building was COM
pleted so far that ii would seem impos-
sible that there could be a storm vio-
lent enough to undo the work Of the
carpenters who had been engaged in
preparing the place for habitation. This
was a house being put up at the june
ton of Willard avenue and Bishop
street, South Providence. and was be-
ing constructed by James Cannon, con-
tractor, for Cornet Winter, who resides
on Lockwood street.
The framework OF the house had
been put up and boarded, and the
workmen were all ready to begin shin
gttng this morning. II was about
o'clock yesterday morning when, after
a more than usually terrific gust of
wind, the entire structure came TO the
ground. Every bit of the framework
was destroyed and the whole mass
made a complete wreck. boards, beams
and joists being piled up i'm a disorder
ed mass. The great part of the lumber,
however, can probably be used over
again.
The other house was on Seventh
street and tie scene presented after IL
was blown down greatly resembled
that in South Providence. The building
was q three and one-half story struct-
tire, owned by George Perry 1t had
been framed up and seemed strong
enough to Withstand the gale, but the
whole frame was knocked fiat to the
ground and converted to a mass Of
ruins. The windows were open and the
continued blasts Of wind undoubtedly
weakened the structure until at last IL
gave away.

In Spite Of Snow Blockade and Buried
RyaraatS They Did Good Work.
A SECOND ALARM WAS SENT OUT.
After Hard Battle Flames We're EStlrgulshsd
Grocery Stock Runed---There We're 0Iher
Fires, but Rone Caused Material Damage.

While there was quite a jangle Of fire
alarm bells yesterday morning after g
o'clock, the greater part OF the noise
was due TO broken circuits, the dam
age having been caused by the heavy
snow. There was, however. one fire at
$40 o'clock which was quite serious and
called for two alarms, the first of which
was rung i'm by Joseph Burns and John
H.. Higgins for a blaze in the grocery
store of Nathan f.. Simmons and EN-
ma Chace & Co, known as the Mount
Hope Grocery Store, the alarm being
sent i'm from box 26.
At that hour the storm was raging
furiously, and the wind blew with ter
rife violence, the immense drifts of
snow making travel almost impossible,
but despite all the difficulties, the fire
department made remarkably good
time and the apparatus was soon on
the spot. Protective No. . was the only
piece of apparatus which had TO be
abandoned, as 1t stuck in the snow on
Eddy street, near the Rhode Island
Hospital. BY the time the firemen
reached the fire the flames had made
such headway that it was deemed best
TO ring in a second alarm.
For some time the flames threatened
TO get the upper hand, and the fremen
who were chilled through, had hard
work i'm lighting the fire. Every now
and then the flames crept through the
roof and sides, threatening To extend to
the next building, wooden structure
occupied by the Peerless Cue-tip Com
pany. After a vigorous struggle the
fire was kept from spreading, and an
hour after the alarm had sounded by
the hardest KIND OF work was confined
To the rear portion Of the building,
which was the place where the blaze
started, and where the most damage
was done TO the building.
The ground floor of the building was
occupied by the grocery store, and the
stock and fixtures of the establishment
are a total loss. The second floor was
taken up with a hall, called Mount
Hope Hall, and used by Garfield Coun-
Gil United Order American Mechanics.
The fire did little damage TO the floor
and roof here except at the rear, but
the furnishings and fixtures of the
room were badly damaged by water
and smoke. The total damage Is esti-
mated at about $4,000. which Is under
stood to be fully covered by insurance.
The building is the property of the r..
w Chase estate. The cause of the fire
Is unknown. II stared in the rear of
the building on Trask street, near
large rear door to the grocery store.
At 6:20 o'clock yesterday morning,
there was a slight fire in the liquor
saloon No. 6l Weybosset street, owned
by the widow of Matthew Pagan, but
the blaze was extinguished before the
damage exceeded SIS. The cause of the
fire is unknown.
At $50 o'clock last evening. an
alarm was rung i'm from box 5S at the
junction of Atwelrs and Manton ave-
nues. for a chimney fire i'm the house of
Richard Crogran, No. 80 Parnell street.
1t was extinguished without any dam
age being done.

pie who may not be our
patrons that we are the
exclusive agents for the B.

guarantee it to be as fine
as is made in the United

may doubt the quality on
account OF the low price,
bot all we can say is that
we will gladly refund your
money if it is not as repre-
sentcd. Besides, you need
not buy a barrel to try it,
you can buy a small sack.
