The most common aflment among civ

reason for this is that now days people
use their brains more than they former
ly did, and are also more subject to
nervous troubles, which are the direct
cause Of headache. Too much brain
work takes needed nerve force from the
heart and stomach to the head. thus
retarding the circulation and deranging

FRONT PIER GAVE AWAY
Reasons Why the York Block
Took a Tumble to Itself.
THE COMMITTEE REPORTS
As Soon as the Last Prop Was Removed
From the Center Order, the Brick
Pier Collapsed and Knocked
Things Silly.

The commission composed of Harvey
Allen. w. A. O'Brien. William White.
Lawrence Burke and ]. a. RiddeIl.
which was appointed to investigate the
cause of the collapse Of the York block.
completed its labors and reported TO
Building Inspector Kennedy yesterday
its findings. The gentlemen gave it as
their opinion that the brick pier which
supported the center column was not of
sufficient strength to hold the weight
put upon it and gave way. The respon-
sibllity for the weakness Of the pier is
not assigned or mentioned in the re-
port. The document in full reads:
The whole committee visited the
building n made as thorough and
careful m of 1t as was posi-
BILE under the circumstances. We then
examined all parties who were engaged
in making the alterations TO the build
ing before ii fell. as well as several wit
nesses who were in the immediate vicfn-
ity and witnessed the accident, and the
parties who, by the mayors orders,
have been clearing away the ruins. We
also obtained the opinions and views Of
several architects and contractors do
ing business in our city as to the cause
OF the accident. the construction of the
building prior to it's falling. the strength
of the different materials which entered
into its construction.
After a careful consideration of all
the evidence and information that we
could obtain, We agreed unanimously
as follows: The cause of the accident
To the York block wss the giving away
Of the front brick pier. which extended
up through the basement n supported
the iron column which held the center
of the new steel gfrders under the front
brick wall, and also the front end of
the steel girder under the center Of the
second story floor j5ists. This brick
pier not being sufficiently strong to sup
port the weight imposed upon ii. gave
way as soon as the last prop was re-
moved [Dm under the center girder.
The hrfk work Of the pier %collapsing,
the fIcf of the column, which had rest
ed upon it, shot out and down through
the sidewalk, letting all the steel grid
ers fall. The front brick wall being de-
prived of its center support. necessarily
fell, carrying down with it the rest of
the building"
Building Inspector Kennedy sub
mitted the report to the council last
evening.
