ELEVATOR %coLLAPSES.
Structure at Buffalo, Containing $780,
600 Bushels Of Barley, Slips
Into the Water.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 31.-From some
cause which cannot be definitely ex-
planned, the Ontario elevator collapsed
Sunday and sank into the waters of the
Evans slip. The elevator contained
about 100000 bushels of barley, a large
portion of which lies at the bottom OF
the slip. The loss on the grain and
the building is estimated at $S50,000.
The Ontario was built Is years ago, and
had been in active operation all of this
season. Various reasons have been
given as to the of the collapse, but
as nearly as could be learned, it had its
origin in the weakening of the founda-
tions about the dock. 1t is known that
the land about the elevator contains
large deposits of quicksand, and it is
considered probable that the accident
due to a settling of the earth on the
dock side caused by the action of the
water on a bed of this quicksand. The
slip has been deepehed during the last
two years, and this also may have
weakened the dock foundations.
