Pedestrians.

What might have been fraught with
serious results to some passing pedes-
TRAN was cave-in yesterday after
noon on tho brick walk In the Capitol
Square running between the Capitol
and the State Library. IN fact. 1t oc-
Cured Immediately at the foot Of the
steps connecting the two buildings,
where every one going from one to the
other walks.
The cause is supposed to be an old
drain. carrying the surface water from
the hillside above. It is presumed this
became stopped up. and the earth un-
der the walk gradually became nois-
cned and washed away. until there was
nothing but crust holding up the
brick walk, over which people were
momentarily passing. The break was
at first about three feet in diameter
and tho drop was TO the depth OF about
five feet.
The convict force was put to work
at once, and soon dug the hole out TO
a diameter OF six feet. The bottom or
the soft earth had not been reached
when work was suspended for tho
day, but the hole was surrounded by
park seats, to prevent accidents. 4
