Roe btuk of the I,uildin[,e occupied by
Messrs. Ilernnann Wolff k Co., general
importers, 170 McGill Street, fell with a
terrific crash. Fort iintely few people
were about tied no one wits to the
icinity at the tele. There was tacti-
cally
no warning that anything unto-
ward was likely to occur, for after a
tea seconds of grinding noises, the
crush told of an accident. As the tower
fell to the westward the !urge supply
piperwas severed at the top of the build-
ing, ,and In a few minutes the water bad
burst through on the Live storeys like a
broken darn, and every room was soon
flooded.
As Ihc tower fell across the narrow
lane at the back of the building it
struck Ole npp(eaile Guildiug, 18 St.
Maurice Street, occupied 1,y the Tantil-
ketnde Tea Co_ with great force, the
true pillars end support; crashing
through the roof and smashing it like so
much nititchw0od. The crash was SO
Severe (hat all the people in the neigh -
tiering buildings ran out into the street.
Much of the water from the tank fell in
through the broken roof and very many
chests of tett were ruined. fht,nding oft
the 'I'aumilkande Company's building, the
debris of the wreaked tower fell into the
lane beneath, breaking windows and
woodwork in its descent, another loud
crash being heard as it reached the
ground,
I'lu' force oak the fall is shown in the
twisted and hent ironwork of the sup-
perts and the triangular base on which
tit. tower rested. Must of the wood-
work that fell vias splintered into kind-
ling wood. The damage is estimated at
$50.000.
