ARRANGEMENT OF THE TROUBLE IN THE NEW YONK QRAIN TRADE. Naw York, August 22.—Just before the grain ‘trading opeued a meeting of members of the grain ‘trade Was held in the “call” room. It was there announced by Mr, Mclatyre that Mr. Post would Make nO assignment, but would walve the rule ana settle on the prices of the “first cail,” pro- ‘vided the market was somewhere near last night's figures. His contracts show, it Was said, @ “shorv” interest on wheat of 1,560,000 bushels, and a “long” interest on corn of 800,000 bushels, ‘The Wheat market opened with much excitement, but was irregular and not as high as bad veen ex- pected. Some “curb” trading was done last night after the close of the Exchange, upon the an- nouncement of the failure, at $1 for December Wheat. This morning Deceinber wheat was sold at the same moment at 99% and 90%. There was rush tosell corn, and pric.s broxe 3 and % ‘There has been full buying in to cover ‘Mr. Post's contracts, and the traders feel greatly relieved at the salisfactory outcome of the failure, It is the general opinion on the floor of the exchange that Mr. Post would successfully bridge over bis troubles. ‘Thut gentleman has two days leit to act, according to tue Tu but it is thought bis principal creditors wil not push him, abd that he will, before to-morrow, a sum sufficient to meet all Mabili- Ues.

The Campanile of the Church of the Covenant in Ruins, ORUSHED BY ITS OWN WEIGHT. —_-__. ‘The Scautiful Structure Carries te the Earth with it in Its Fall a Portion of the Church—Description of the Catne- trophe by an Bye Witness—Why it was mot Unexpected—Unequal Strength of the Piers of the Tower the'Cause, —_—-_— ‘The beautiful stone tower of the Church of the Covenant, in course of erection at the corner ot Connecticut avenue and N street, Rev. T. F. Ham- lin, pastor, fell down early this morning. A por- tion of the west and south walls, about 20 feet above the foundations, seems to have been crushed out, and the entire tower fell in on itself. So complete was the collapse that the great mass of stone ‘was plied around the base of the tower and dia not extend beyond the curb of the street. There were no scattered stones in the street, and the great tower, 158 feet high, seems to have come crushing down in nearly 8 straight line. The only portion of the tower remaining Standing is the lower part, some 25 or 30 feet high. The north half of the tiled root, as far back as the lantern, was crushed in. A portion of the ‘stone gable in front 16 in ruins, and the large cen- tral window, with its carved-stone arch. The Walls east of the tower remain intact, and with the exception of the fail of one-half of the west Toot, the disaster 1s confined to the tower, A WITNESS OF HE DISASTER. The colored watchman was the only witness of the catastrophe, He was standing on ‘the oppo- ‘site corner of the street shortly before 5 o'clock ‘this morning. He felt, he told a Stax ts geben that the tower was going to fall. it had been cracking and settling’ all the evening. He was therefore on the watch and spent tue greater part of the night in the street, Just berore the tower fell he Said that he saw the west side, short dis, tance above the doorway, bulge out. ‘Then the ‘stones cot nding on the south face of the tower Dent out, the area covered being about six feet, Finaily tbese portions of the tower gave Way and fell to the ground, followed by a heavy rush ag the great mass of the stone work from which Ube support had suddenly Seen withdrawn, came tumbling to the ground, The earth shook with the force Of the concussion and a roar filled the air, then clouds of dust followed, Wuen tue dust had pared the stately structure of stone lay in ru THR REPORT OF THE FALL ‘Was not generally heard in the neighborhood and but few persons came to the scene of the disaster, Later in the morning, as the early risers began to surand as people looked out of their windows, they missed something in the horizon. The great Square tower of stone which had become such a conspicuous feature in the neighborhood had dis- appeared. Suoruly before 7 o'clock the workmen ‘who Were employed on the bulluing began tocome to their Work. ‘The stone-work on the tower Was hearly compieted and preparations were being made to put on the Lied root ‘The other portions of tue Work of the building were equally far ad- vanced, The inverior was about done, with its elaborate finish in antique oak and the elegantly painted walls, ‘The pews and a magnificent organ were to be put up in a few days, and the pi t Was favorabie for the completion of the buliding by the 1st of October. Many of the workmen ex- Pressed no surprise When they gazed upon the Collapsed tower, They had reason to doubt its security. During the preceding day the wails had been cracking abd seitiing. ‘These latter signs, however, were no novelties. For some tyne past ‘there had been similar indications of Weakness, ‘THE FIRST DEVELOPMENT appeared in the pier at the soutuwest corner sev- eral weeks ago, Here several pieces of the Onio stone composing the water course had been forced out, It wag said to have been due to unequal pressure, and tue archivect, Mr. Cady, was sum- moned ‘from New York’ to inspect tue de- fect. =A member of his firm came on, and it was stated that the fault could be easily remedied, and that the stones forming the Water course Which were broken could be removed and others put in their place. ‘This had not been done. At the same time various cracks bad ap- Peared on the north side of the wall near the Vower, and some of the workmen stated to-day that large cracks appeared In the face of the tower Yesterday. The walls had been built very solidly. ‘The stone ‘used was what 1s known as the Barber stone, being @ light stone sometuing tke Oiio stone, and 18 found along the upper Potomac. Tue Ouio Stone Was used as courses. THR ARCHITECTURE OF THE CHURCH ‘was what is known as Romanesque, and in keep- ing with that style he tower was a square struc- ture about fifteen feet square, and extending up with but slight decrease in the diameter, to & helght of 158 leet. ‘The walls were lined with Seneca stone, and the construction Was substal Ual. ‘Three tiers of arcaded windows at the top ot the tower diminished the welt and had the ef- fect of lightening the structure, not only in 118 ‘appearance but 1n reality. ‘WHAT THE BUILDER SAYs. ‘The plans and the details of the construction Were supplied by the New York architect, and the Dutlder and contractor is Mr. Wm. C. Morrison, the well-known builder of this city. He was informed of the disaster this morning while at breaktast, and came at olce to the church buliding. In con Vergation With @ Star reporter Mr, Morrison e lained the cause of the Wreck as follows: “The foundations of the tower were all right, but the {rouble was: the plers at the four ends Or corners of ‘he tower Were (00 Weak. ‘Tuere Was an arch over ‘the entrance from Connecticut avenue and an- other one from N street. ‘There were twoen- trances into the church “through the other two sides of the tower, spanned by arches, so that the entire weight of’ the superstructure was carried by these arches on vo the plers. ‘The southwest pler Was the first to give Way, and. that was the Weak. est. AS Duilt at Mrst i Was not solid, but subse- quentiy 1t Was filled ta with cement.” "Mr. Morri- son added that the best stove-mason in the city did the work, and he said the construction was ail Tight. He added that this was bis opinion of the cause of the fall of Une tower, but at the same time he Was reluctant to express ‘an opinion, as he sald that he did not wish vo do any one ah injustice, ‘Tue work had been examined by experts, and be Was told to go on. ‘WHAT THE BUILDING INSPECTOR 848. “The accident 1s unaccountable,” said Butlding Inspector Entwisle to a Stax reporter, “I have made numerous inspections of the structure, and have been unable to find any defects, except last Week, when I inspected It with the architect, Mr, W. C. ‘Cady, of New Yoru, when we found tant there was a Crushing of some of the soft stone on the outer face, which we attributed to heavy joint work inside ahd the close joint outside, causizi irregular bearing, ‘The tower must’ have swayed by the Wind storm, thereby causing an irregular bearing on the piers, which we had con- sidered as having more than capacity for carry: the structure, When the tower was commenc: I found that ‘the earth on one side was detective and required the foundation to be increased. It will be unpossible to account for the accident UnUl the debris 1s cleared away.” AD investigation by the Commissioners will, tt 4s unde shortly take place. THE FIRST INSPECTION. Mr. Jas, A. Fitch, a member of the building committee of the church, in conversation with a Stax reporter thts morning said that about three months ago some cracks were discovered in the Ohio stone about the arch of the entrance to the tower, The architects, J.C. Cady & Co., of New York city, were at once informed, and ah expert member of the firm came on, and after a careful inspection of the work decided that the masons in setting the Ohio stone had brought them together at too fine ‘an edge und-when the Walls sevtiew, there being no room for settlement for the outer stone, some cracking and shelving at the necessarily took place. Under his direction horizontal joints of the stone were widened b} sawing. The cracks were then filed in, and worl suspended for a time, and the result closely watched. No further cracks appearing, after two Gruntes weeks tne work was fesuined” and every ‘Uning seemed to be going on well. Last evening Mr, Mor detected and called the attention of Mr. Fite to some fresh breaks in the inside of the south wall of the tower, Which aroused grave fears as to its safety, fand alt was done that was possible to guard against accident. As late as half-past 9 last even- ing Mr. Fitch, 1’ company with Mr. M. W.
