BIG STORE WRECKED.
Entire Front Wall Of Julian Tyler.
on Broad Street, Crashed IN.

In one brief moment the entire front
of Julian w Tyler's new store, next
door the corner of First and Broad
streets, which represented much time,
labor, and money, fell to the ground q
mass of ruins. The collapse occurred
about Z o'clock yesterday morning, and
had it come Il few moments later many
lives would have been lost. AS it was,
two workmen-Jack johnson and George
Cosby, both white-narrowly. escaped in
jury. An unknown white boy was
caught beneath the debris, but was saved
by the rafterS. He crawled out scared
beyond recognition and lost himself In
the crowd.
TIE force of artisans and laborers were
waiting outside for Mr.. Tyler; who had
the key to the building. and was about
five minutes behind time. This alone
saved their lives.
The building was within few days of
completion. Mr.. Tyler expecting to open
it about the first of the month. 1t is
remarkable that the building should have
been so far erected with the defect,
which its collapse makes plain. un-
noticed. The cause for the accident has
been varously stated. One theory. back
ed by Chief Fuller, is that the column
foundation piece of old wall, which was
itself crumbling to pieces.
An official of the Tredegar-Works in
speaking of the accident, denied that it
was caused by the swapping OF the
column. The cause Of the disaster, he
said, was the giving way Of the founda-
ton on which the column was based, and
the column was broken in the fall. This
was apparent to the architect, D. w.
anderson, who examined it. .

Settlement of numerous labor contro-

improved the Industrial outlook, while the
agricultural conditions steadily improve.
As these have been the only unIavora6ie
for active trade are decidedly encouraging.
Preparations for unusually heavy fall sales
stronger. Mills and furnaces that have
been idle on account of the usual over
hauling, resumed as rapidly as needed re-
pairs could be made.
Financial conditions are sound, the mid
year dividend distributions producing no
stringency, and speculation has been heavy
for the season, both in securities and
staples.
Pig iron continues to command full prices,
supplies falling below requirements and
furnace deliveries failing to fill contracts.
Scarcity of fuel is still the principal draw
back. while car and motive power shortage
are additional causes OF delay. New orders
are reported for distant delivery, running
about q year ahead. Prices are fully main
