FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TREASURY DE-
PARTMRNT-One Man Killed and Three Injured
Last evening, as workmen at the Treasury
were hosting one of the hydraulic presses
with which to print the ssgreen backs to the
attic story, sad accident occurred, by which
one man was instantly killed and three others
injured. 1t appears that, not to interfere with
the other work, the hosting of the presses was
SET Ior last night, and that two of them were
ing nve and a half tons, had been raised ahont
twenty feet, the rope leading TO the engine
paired, 1t Is supposed from being chafed by
some material which had got in to the block
through which it passed. and the press came
down on run, swinging against the stone sill
OF one OF the windows and breaking it.
Inc rigging attached to the press by some
means knocked down the scaffold, on which
Mr. Lucius A. r. Teasdale, the master rigger
and workman named Patrick Corcoran, were
standing, and they were precipitated to the
around, distance of nearly thirty feet. Mr.
Ieasdaie reached the ground before the press
did and it was tilted on him, holding him by
the hip fast, with a stout rope across his breast
IN which position he had to remain for nearly
MALI an hour, until the press was raised A
surgeon was at once summoned, and he was
taken TO his residence, on New York avenue
near tenth street. Ills leg and parts of his
body are badly bruised, but fortunately no
bones We're broken. Corcoran was also badly
bruised by the fall, but was able to walk to his
home without assistance.
On the platform Of the derrick We're several
persons and two of them were knocked off by
the crank, one of whom, James Stewart, aged .
about nifty years, residing in the First Ward,
fell about thirty feet, striking on his head and
crushing his skull, killing him instantly. Thos.
Iarkin was knocked by the crank and his head
badly cut, but he was caught as he fell by some
OF MS companions, and probably saved from
death.
The deceased and the wounded were removed
as soon as possible to their homes and attend
ance summoned.
Mr. Teasdale is good officer, and is said to
and, with the Others has the wishes of the Of
hcers and workmen on the Treasury extension
Tor his speedy recovery.
