Harry Cooper, the single weaver,
met with another accident in the
Richardson mill. Wednesday after.
noon, while saving shingles. During
an effort to move the block which had
become caught, his hand fell against
the saw and instantly the whole palm
was cut off and the thumb almost
severed. Mr.. Cooper, with great nerve
walked to the office of a surgeon,
where his wound was dressed, after
amputation of the thumb, and the
sufferer was sent to the hospital for
care during treatment. 1t WAS but
three months ago that Mr.. G. was cut
in the leg in the same mill.
Several of the brick buildings il
our city have suffered in the past
either from defective workmanship, OF
poor material. 1t will be remembered
that several years ago the main en-.
trance of the Burmeister building or
Main and Third streets had to be re
inforced by columns and Orders t
keep it from falling. Afterwards q
broken Intel in the McKennv buildin,
and cracks in the elevator shaft led
to removal of much weight from tn,
upper story and extensive repairs.
This week the Chilberg three-story
brick began to show signs OF weakness
1t appears that the Intel spanning
about feet of the front entrance wa,
a cast-iron beam only an inch thick
above which two stories of lime anG
mortar and a massive fire-wall main
tanned a constant strain on this frail
support. Sunday afternoon, Mr.
Dorah, the telephone Superintendent
who occupies quarters on the seconG
floor, says he heard a loud crash
which resembled the explosion of {
Chinese boom, and on investigation
found the Intel cracked, the from,
wall sagging, with assures at variou,
places in the masonry. Monday
Architect Hartsock had force oil
men clearing away to secure a firm
support from the foundation for plac
ing a reinforcement of iron above the
entrance to be supported by column
in its center. This will probably
relieve the public from danger of (
crash, unless an earthquake overturns
the top.heavy fire-wall, until the from
is rebuilt to conform to common sens,
principles.
