Through the Mediterranean the route leads

was laid the price Of a twenty-word mes

FOUNDATION NOT WEAK.
Architect Explains Accident in Nc
COrmtck Building.

C. l.. Thompson. one of the architects Of
the new Mccormick building. on Fifth
avenue south. in which j. c. Greyson. a
lahorer. met with a serious accident, says
that the published report that the cause
Of the accident was the collapse OF a brick
foundation Is erroneous.
The piers" said Mr.. Thompson ARE
built of clinker brick. laid in cement NOR
tar, resting upon concrete footings. and
are capable OF sustaining a weight OF
twenty tons. The collapse of the pier was
due to the falling of one of the SKIS
sills. weighing about 40 pounds
which Greyson with others was engaged in
placing. The supper. upon which Greyson
was standing. and over which the sill was
being hauled, gave way. precipitating both
10 the ground. the sill falling at an angle
end on q distance Of about fifteen feet,
and striking the pier. causing It's total col
lapse. The force OF such a blow can he
imagined.
II believe X was one OF those unfortu-
nate accidents for which 1t Is difficult to
assign a cause"
