Cedar Rapids, Nov. 16.-As Attorney
James II. Crosby and Fireman Johnny
Maher were passing in front of a. G..
Taylor & Sons jewelry store about 1890
last evening they were startled by a
terrific crash inside the building, and
INSTANTLY noticed that the ceiling Of the
store o had broken In. Flying glass
at the west side Of the building also in-
dicated there was something wrong on
the second and third floors. The trouble
all originated IN the third floor OF the
west twenty feet Of h building, occu-
pied by a part of George "A. Mullins
stock. Forty feet In the front of the
building gave way under the heavy
weight OF wall paper and crashed down,
carryjng the goods with 1t to the second
floor and breaking thru the ceiling into
the jewelry store.
Messrs. Taylor md Mullin were
quickly notified by the two gentlemen
who had been SO badly startled. The
central fire station was also notified, for
1t was feared that the breaking Of a
gas pipe Or electric wire might set fire
to the wreck.
Fortunately no damage vas done in
the jewelry store except to the ceiling.
Not a mar or scratch was to be found
on the elegant new show and wall cases,
altho everything was covered with q
fine dust. A light iron post at the west
side OF the front door undoubtedly saved
the whole front of the Dor from being
crushed in. Only one window light was
cracked.
