Work of removing two top sections of
a 7S-foot smoke stack at the Jones Bros.
CO. s plant was completed and more, too,
by the wind yesterday morning when the
entire stack was blown down and sent
crashing through the roof of the engine
house, causing damage estimated to be
in the vicinity Of $500, The reason for
the fall of the stack was probably be-
cause the staging which had been used
by the workmen was still in position
when the heavy wind started up yester-
day morning, and the wind got under the
staging and topped the great stack over.
No one was injured and the machinery in
the enginehouse was not damaged. 1t
will take considerable work to repair the
roof The stack was broken in two
pieces, and the bottom part was again
placed in position during the day yester-
day, only to be menaced seriously by the
wind which started up again this morn,
