The ilnrkct Heuse Accident.
The demolition of the Northern murk
ct house, tht ugh nt Drat contemplation a
surprising evcut, was really ene which
could net linvt) frilled te hniren tit some
time, it the original iron tin reds of the
reef were permitted te remain. The
calamity teaches m n valuable lessen its
te the Ufa of these reds. It is well-
known that Iren railroad bridges are
frequently examined te determine the
condition et the iron, because of the
dl&truat which engineers hnve as te their
continued vitality under constant vibra
tlen and tliu contraction et heat and
cold. We de net knew what determine
Btien has been reached as te the safe life
of bridge iron, but we are under the Iin
preslen that it is net jet
determined with deihilteness, and
that observation is acutely directed te
the solution of the question. The de
Btructlen of this market liouse will
doubtless be noted with great Interest
by theso who are Interested In the ques
tlen of the duration of iron In structural
works. The building was put up in
1872, and the reef was constructed under
the superintendence of William K.
Beard, the able master carpenter of the
Pennsylvania railroad here, whose ca
paclty iv a builder is very highly es
teemed. It nuy be assumed that the
work was well dene , and the fact that
ithasstoed for eleven years Is sufficient
proof lu itself of this fact. But for
eleveujeius the iron tie reds have been
contracting and expanding under the
violent changes In the teuiperattiie of
e ar climate, w ith the result that the iron
had bicemecijslalliueamlmak. There
was, besides the cloven years strain upon
it, the weight of the reef. It is well
known llmt the most fibrous Iren will
bj crjsta'lzul under a comparatively
m jder.ite dt gree of concussion. It will
be crjstulli7ed even under the blows
upon the chisel used te cut It. The strain
et the reef and th lrtquent contraction
and expansion, it Is natui.il te believe,
would hate a like efTect.
If it Is true, as stated, that th-se reds
have net been drawn up, after the
braces of the wooden arches, which they I
held tegelhti at their base, Lad become
loose through the drying of the weed.
there Is Hnelher geed reason furnished
for theglviug way of these arches under
the unusual weight upon them. The
snow fall was net as great as It has often
been ; but the few inches which fell last
night belli,? succeeded by sleet, were
made very heavy and with the
weight of the previous fall of snow,
there was enough te try the
strength et the reef severely. If
the arches had been properly braced the
ireu stay reds might have steed ; but
certainly th" lessen clearly taught by the
fall et thf reef is that one of such con cen con
strueUen is net safe; for it will net de
te put nieftiin buildings which require
Unit their supports Miall Iw fiequentlv
examined and repaired or renewed. It
may de where an engineer corps has
such examination as IU constant, dtuv ,
but it will net de where then- is net such
constant intellieiil supervision. e I
want no rneie niaikel houses w itti trusud I
reefs. The new market houses have
reefs built en the s.une principle .is the
Northern maikel Inuse, tin' 'uth

answer the public demand th it the)

market might have been tun'le. If tin

being held no one would have get out
uniujuted it alive. Il it had happened
when anj ene was en the stnet, less of
life would have own sure. It was most
fortunate in its time and circumstance i.
Even the udjelnlug house which it
ciustied lu pirt was untenanted fm tlml
night. Let uj be thaiiktul for tlie great
calamity lactiped, and see te it that we
use the warning te ui.ike a gie.il cu'ets
tephe impossible in the futuie.

Of Mr. Hiuilall'.s appointment there was
never any reasonable doubt ; the happy

It has been discovered that the deer

Representatives in Washington carried
en the pay roll fictitious niiuieu ler which
he drew salary and pocketed it ; that he
kept en the ay rolls the name of his
partner in the paper mill in Tennessee.

carried his wire and cloven year old boy,
en the pay roll at ?ioe a month each,
and paid his slster-lu law 3 a den for

"Peace en Karth."
Christmas, with Its tlde of religious
and kindly associations 13 again upon
us, ntid the glad tidings proclaiming
"peace en e.rlh te men geed will " will
be announced ere another morn, ns It
was te the waiting shepherds nearly
nineteen hundred years age Peering
back through the silent centuries af the
scene In the stable at Bethlehem, when
the Prince of Poace was born, believer
and unbeliever nllke must Iw thrilled
with a sitpern itural wonder at the fruit
age that has grown from the little seed
then planted. Talk as men will of te
llgleus decadence, and ridicule as they
may Christian d wn is that Unite reason
cannot comprehend, the song of the
angel announcing the Sivleur'a birth
will Hud a responsive echo in the
hearts of the mill ens with which the
world Is peopled today. Te the well
fed and clothed, as well as te the liuimrj
and miserably clad, the Christmas una
sage comes, and perhaps no better lessen
is taught at this gracious season than
the duties of the rich te the suffering
peer.
The Christnns tidings of peace come
with peculiar appropriateness te the
Unitel States, which, in contrast with
ether uatiens, Isenjejlng a period of the
most profound tranquility Great
Britain lives in daily dread of dynamite
oxpleslons, aud Its leading men go about
carrying their lives in their bauds ; litis
sia is in the midst of a tierce anti Semitic
persecution ; Germany has a discon
tented populace that are fast llevlng te
ether shores te escaixs the rule of the
Iren Coanceller; palu has herrovelu

Tni hi: is n special dtutss in cell brat
