Friday afternoon the three story brick building occupied by the Lexington Grocery Company, wholesale, near the depot, began to give away. Thousands of dol lars worth of goods were stored in the house, and to get them out without any damage to the goods or to those working in the build ing, was a problem. Experts pronounced the building unsafe, liable to fall at any -tame, so that it was like taking one’s life in hand to go in the house. The cause of the trouble was in the foundation which was not suffi cient. The g'l.jds b ive been haul ed away and s r<»d in varioue places, and the work of repaiiing the building will go right along. And while it all seriously inter feres with the business of this big o mcern, its affairs will be con ducted without interruption. The insane man N. H.
