An eight-ton stone column crashed throuBh two stories of the north end of the west wing of the new high school building, now tn course of construction and caused damages to the extent ot about Xf yesterday morning. Singularly none of the workmen was Injured, though about eight of them were dangerously near. The accident was caused by the col lapse of a derrick which had been rigged on the second story wing. The maxslve column, twenty feet, and eight Invhes long and two feet In diameter, was be ing hoisted. It was suspended about forty feet above the ground and was being swung to a position avove the half com pleted structure, when the boBm of the derrick buckled.

Charles Mack, FYed Webber and XV. H. Young were the closest and missed being struck by about two Inches. The damage done amounts to the break ing In two of part of the eight-ton atone column and the wrecking of considerable temporary flooring. A "cap' made of stone and weighing avout two tons was knocked off the northwest corner of the west entrance by the swinging boom and waa demolished. In falling the boom smashed against the side of the building and shattered several pieces of stone til ing which had already been placed.
