The photo graphs were views made of the church aad the site of the tower before and after the debris was cleared away, and were fled with the report as exhibits. The report was signed by the three members of the commission—Bernard R. Green, civil engineer; Thomas B. Entwisle, inspector of Dulldings, and Clifford Richardson, inspector of asphalt ana cements, D.C. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRUCTION OF THE TOWER Tue report gives a detailed description of the cons*ruction of the fallen tower, which hada height of 133 feet 3 inches above the concrete foot tage ‘rhe masonry of the tower had been Muished excepting a few pieces of the last or coping course of Stone and tue four terminals for the corer wur- Tets, Oue or {Wo days’ Work of the masons. “When the height of 60 feet was reached at the beginning Of the winter,” the report says, “a few slight cracks were oUserved in the Water table and sulll cult:se and in the joints of the rubble foundation just below the Waler table. As the work went on rough the spring and summer these cracks in- creased in size and Others continually appeared In Various paris, generally distributed throughout the Dase of the tower from tue sandstone tablets down luto the foundation walix ‘The growing un- easiness of the coutractor and building comulitee on this account became, during the last week or two beiore Lue Tall, redl anxiety, They did not fail to notify the archivects, who inade examina~ Uons and assuring reports, as we show below, and who aliowed the work to proceed. THE TOWKR CRUMBLING. Finally, in the afternoon of August 21, a large stone in the south door, opening on the first floor, Was heard to crack with a loud report, followed from hour to hour by other ‘and especially & Vertical one in the west jamb of’ the seize duor- Way, which opened several inches, the Wall sepa- Fatlig at its ceuter like a clam sheil. ‘This was observed at its maximum about 9 o'clock in the evening, and severai small pieces of mortar and stone were heard to fall from an apparent height Of twenty feet inside the tower at che saine tune, ‘Thorougiuy alarmed by this tune, the contractor abd @ Miewber of the Duilding committee caused tue sidewalks and ull approuches to the Lower to be barricaded, and directed the watchman to re- Wain outside ‘of the Duliding during tue night, High wind gusts had occurred at intervals during tur day aud again about the middle of te Sudlicient to have produced a sight jarring effect Upon the tower, and undonbtediy hastening te crumbling observed. ‘The watcuman heard occa- sional cracks duriag the night until 4:35 o'clock im the morning. Wile he stood on the N street Sidewalk, between 18tu street and Connecticut avenue, in company with a policeman, the two men néard continued sounds of cracking stone fodowed quickly by the falling of several pieces of stoue wituin the tower, and ia a few moments ob- served the lower portion of the masonry crush and bulge, and ‘THE WHOLE MASS SINK DOWN VERTICALLY upon its own base, crumbling into a pyramidal heap of stones and sand, and ulling the air with a dense cloud of dust. It 1s significant, also, that ‘the sound of the fail was heard by few persons tn Uhe neighborhood, beiug more like that of an av: Janche 0; gravel ‘aud sand than of a strongly co- herent stouework requiring much force to preak it up. ‘The eye witnesses say tat Une beliry came down intact and erect unt. It reached the heaping pile, where 1 went to pieces and Was scat Uuiforialy over 11.” CONDITION OF THE CHUKCH AFTER THE Pall OF THE TOWER. ‘The report then gives an account of the condi- ofthe church after the fall of the tower, The lower half of the north and west foundation walls of tke Lower remained in position, showing but Sugu Signs of baVing sustained great welght, DUC these were supported outside. ‘There was uo in- dication taal Lue coucrete foundation ylelded in the least degree. The building was erected after the plans and specifications ot J. C. Cady & Co., of New York, by Mir. W. C. Morrison, of this city, under contract With the building committee of tae church, Mr. John Edwards, sr., of this city, doing ali the inasonry as suv contractor. ‘The ‘report givesat lengtu the essential parts of the speciica- Uons and the provisions of the Dullder's contract bearing upon the construction of tue tower. ‘The drawiugs, the report says, show that the founda- on walls were Lo be enurely rubble masonry and the superstructure of dresged stone and rock faced ashlar, backed up with rubble masonry, The computations of strength, pressures, and thrusts, Were carefully and intelligently made by the ar ehitects, aud the assumptions upon which they Were based correct, except in our upinion as to the strength of mortars for rubbie masonry. THE WEIGHT PER SQUARE INCH Dorne by the four low piers, into whicn the bases ot the tower walls were divided by the doorways, did hot exceed 140 to 190 pounds, or some 9 to 12 gross tons per square foot, liable to momentary increase by the biguest wind’ to. 12 or 15 tous. pressures, not too great for brick work in hydraulic ceiment mortar. As, however, the cellar walls were but four inches Unicker than the plers they were called upon to sustain, and having Uttie lateral Support, With none at all about the inner corner,” tue same load per foot was prac- Uically’ borne by their upper ions, and Ior such a distance below door silis as the poor bond of the masonry may have distri- buted I over a larger ‘area. “Under the specidcs. ions the stone of the foundation ‘walls consisted of blue gneiss rubble; that of the superstructure Wails of three Kinds, soft Ohio sandscone, light colored Schistose granite and Seneca sandstone rubole used fur Uacklag, “From a careiulex- ainination of the remaining parts of the foundation Walls,” the report goes on. “the fractured and sha- ken ends of tue standing Caurch wails, shapes and Sizes of the butlding stones, quality of the mortar used, and noting the almost entire absence of iron ciamps, anchors or other tes to be found in the ruins, oS Well as from ihe history of the gradually developing cracks all about the lower sections, we fare at ho foss to discover THE ELEMENTS OF WEAKNESS that existed in the tower masonry. The founda- ton watls were but ordinary work seriously defi- cient im large stones, strong bonding or good mor- tar, and Mt only for a moderate load like that of Ube existing cuureh Walls All ot the rubble was composed Of stones that could be handied by hand, ho derrick or purchase having been employed, The dressed sahdstoue was well cus umd seu, and, altuough extremely soti, not a serious clement of ‘weakness iu the general construction had all parts been equally weil bullt. It was used, however, for the water-table, aud also In shallow courses, alternating with asblar and recelving the pressure Of the latter in undue proportion, because Of the compressible nature of tue rubble backing and the general suallowness of the ashiar. ‘That the backing wus compressed so. as to drag down the asular to some extent, Was indicated by'an inward ant or the water cable, Whiea increased. with the neral ¥1 he usar facing consisted Sitost Znureiy’ of thin slabs having, geucraho, thescantiest, rougues:, and most absurd semblance of bed-Joluts, formed inore by scabbling than by any cu.ting Worthy the naine.

The deplor- able results were due in great measure to an €atire absence of any continuous personal airec- lon, supervision, OF jon by the arci tei represontatives, oer, tan some occasional Visits, for a few hours or a day each, at intervals Of sone six Weeks, In the beginning the church committee endeavored to secure local superin- tendence of the work, but the urchitects natur- ally objected, and positively refused to entertain ‘aay such proposition, even to the extent ot timing ‘their visits of Inspection by any notice from the <ouumittes or thelr agents, and tne question Was Set at rest ually by the following pat bina lewer of the architects under date of April 9, 1887, before Work on the building had’begun: “We feel, ‘however, tuat we cannot in so important a Dutiding as this take the responsibility (of ‘abso. Jute control of the building and work’) without sing OUF own Judgment as to when and how olten we should visit it, so we propose to make such visits according to our judgment, and the committee can pay Whatever portion of our tray. eling expenses they see ft. We had much rather assume a burden ourselves in this way (although, 1k is entirely contrary to, professional practice) thau to run tue risk of go important a building muscarrying.” And so this arrangement has cou ‘Unued from the beginning to the present time. ‘THE WORK SUOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHED CONSTANT: LY BY A COMPETENT INSPECTOR, ‘Masonry to be suitable for a tower of this kind, and above all a rubble masonry, should have been ‘watched constantly by a competent inspector. In this case it was all left to the masons excepting One inspection when started on the concrete foot- ing, @ second when the water table had been reached, a third at a few feet above the doorway arches, a fourth when the tower was at half height, and soon. ‘The stone cutters, mortar makers and masons had their own way the rest of the time. WHEN THE CRACKS APPEARED, and as they increased, the architects were sent for and came and made examinations, which they re- Ported upon to the committee. Thus, the following resolution was sent to the architects on January 16 last: A resolution was sent to the architects by the bullding committee notifying them that they had le.rned that the cement and mortar used in the building was not of the quality called for, ‘and in some otner respects the work had not been carried on according to the provisions of the con- (act, and that it seemed to the committee that these defects would not have occurred if there had Deen a proper supervision of the work by the architect, ON RESUMPTION OF WORK IN THK SPRING the architects examined and approved it, and al- lowed it to goahead. Correspondence regarding the continued appearance and increuse of the Gracks followed, together with some inspections by the architects who, on June 6, When the work had Teached the beliry stage, reported *ihat there was no danger, that tue tower would certainly not fall, nor any portion ive way suddenly without due warning,” and On June 13 that they “considered it safe to proceed slowly with the tower,and toflaish Wt according to the original pian, except, perhaps, in the matter of the heavy stone cornice at the top and the heavy tile termination, for which a lighter material may be used to lessen the weight.” From this time until the fail they relied on information, at short intervals, trom the contractor, that thé cracks Were not increasing much and there was no cause for alarm. ‘THE FAULTY DESIGNS. Thus, in brief, it appears that the architects’ design of the foundation walls and specifications for the construction of the tower were faulty; ‘that, cn for want of the inteliigent supervi- ‘sion required of the architects, the contractor's materiais and workmanship were inferior and un- Suitable, and that therefore the beautiful tower tei. The manner of its fall and its complete re- duction to a solid heap of small stones and pereniny d disintregate mortar, showed its general weakness so pi ‘that the wonder was hot that it fell, but rather that it had stood so many weeks erect. Io form and dimensions the design of the tower furnishes a thoroughly substanual and perma- Rent structure, needing but the stinplest ‘kinds of good materials and workmanship for its erection. There 1s no reason on this score vay te should not be at once restored. Its proper con- ‘struction involves no unusual dificulity or ex- pense. Its height is but moderate, for there are umerous entire bulldings of equal height in the lane clues. ‘The remaining walls of tue chureh ‘were, of course, built in the same defective man- ner as the tower, more pains ‘taken with their exterior appearance than their strength. Bein, very low, ahd comparatively thick, however, ai carrying but little weight except their own, we cannot say that they are not perfectly safe, but we recommend an examination at a few polats, to fully put their condition beyond question. THE LAK OF CONSTANT INSPECTION.
