SERIOUS AND PERHAPS FATAL ACCIDENT
Between nine and ten O'Clock yesterday
morning, q young man named Nathan P.
Mason, of Maine, fell from the tsp of a tel
egraPh pole, 8 distance of about sixty feet,
landing on some stones at the edge of the
Cuyahogs river, opposite the City Forge,
and sustained very serious if not fatal in
~juries. He is not badly bruised, but is hurt
inwardly. and his spine is injured, causing
partial paralysis of the lower limbs. The
accident haproued in this wise:
He, with three other men, was fastening
wires upon poles between the tow-path of the
canal and the river, just above Seneca street
bridge. The wire was being reeled off from
a wagon, and Mason had fastened it to his
pele, when the horse started and the wire
caught firmly on some part of the wagon,
giving the pole a jerk which, with his
weight, pulled it over, and he fell not only
the length of the pole, thirty-fve feet, but
twenty feet lower, striking as mentioned
above. 5
DR.. johnson was called forthwith, and
several other surgeons soon after arrived st
the spot. The young man was removed to
his lodgings in the Commercial House on
Seneca street. Mr.. Mason is about twenty
seven years of age, unmarried, q native Of
Naine, and has no relatives in this part Of
the country.

EDrroR LEADER; In the Plain Dealer Of
Tuesday evening it is strongly intimated,
if not charged, in a squib under the caption,
"a Nice Piece Of Business" that a certain
Psymaster had brought over from Camp
Cleveland a wagon-load of paid-off soldiers,
to trade at q certain dry goods and ewslry
store, and had received therefor g gold
watch, per centage, &c, ga.
In yesterday evenings issue the Local
ofthe Plain Dealer caves in ~ the Paymas-

citing the authority Of the undersigned as
the basis of his published report.
Said Local, in company with the Psy-
master, came into my office yesterday, when
1 gave him the following card:

that he would not publish anything unless
he found out something definite. This
may not be the exact words, but 1t is the
substance of it. 3. Mann.
This statement he published last even
ing, and in his comments declares it untrue,
and adds that in passing by the clothing
store of g.. Mann he asked that gentleman
if he knew aught of the matter. As far as
his passing my store IS concerned, l can
prove by a number of witnesses that l was
at the timein tho third story of my estab
lishmeut attending TO a customer. Now
have this to say, and am willing to make
affidavit and take my oath on what l say
and Mr.. A. W. Alexander, cutter in my
store, will do the same: Said Local and Mr.
Alexander came up where I was engaged
aod 1 merely answered the Editors CUES
tions by saying that I had heard such
rumor. I did not say 1t 10Gs true, but salt
that personally 1 knew nothing about 1t
and that he should not publish it from an,
information I could give him. he evi

having the rumor repeated or confirmed, 8
he stated he heard it from the busines
men along the street, and named a Proni
nent business man who had called on hir
to talk about the matter. He wen state
to me that he had seen just then a wagon
load of soldiers brought over TO the sal
store.
Furthermore, yesterday morning when
handed said Local that card in my ofici
he said in substance, I don't care for my
self having published that article, but
don't want to publish anything which wi
trouble Mr.. Armstrong, who is responsib
for everything that appears in TIE paper.
