DEATH BY TERRIBLE FALL.-onorbiv
after O'Clock yesterday morning two men eIl
were standing near the corner OF SeVenth
and smith streets looking up to near the
; ton of the graceful spire OF the beautlful
new st. PauI's church, southwest corner OF
+, those streets, where men who looked IKE
small bows were hanging by rotten ropes,
Stating the spirc. The observers were VOL
derinS how men could work at that dizzy
heirbt. with no barrier between slip and
death. when suddenly thrill OF horror
passed through them, and their faces
blcached to the hue Of chalk, aS they saw
one end Of the slender swing drop; and
they held their breath rs they saw the body
of a man, the instant before full of vitality,
health, and peace of mind, launched heels
over head for q fall Of hundred and flty
feet or more, humping with all the force
that hundred and sixty pounds can gam
| in long fall against jagged stones, and in
another second striking the pavement, a
mere bundle of crushed and pounded bones
and flesh from which life had fled.
The victim was George Jayne, in the en-
ploy of Dunn s. Witt, forty-five years of age,
having a wife and five children. MIR. Jayne,
about year since, met with similar acct
dent, which caused him to be confined to
his bed for many months, and finally to re-
turn to his work with impaired sight. He
was engaged in Stating St. Johns Episcopal
church, and losing his footing while moving
the scailold, was precipitated to the ground,
q distance of eighty or ninety feet.
Having dread of again working at this
trade, he tried papcr-hanging for time this
spring to avoid the danger Of Sitting, but
that business proving dull, he resumed

The RELIEF QUEsTIoN.-A correspondent
sends us al article upon this subject in
which he takes the side of the creditors.
We have ceased to regard the question as
an important one. The failure of the debtor
class to get up large State Convention
would seem to indicate that creditors need
no assistance from the newspapers in the
work of convincing the public that they
have "rights which debtors are bound to
respect" The Legislature will scarcely 60
too flr in relieving debtors if il feels salts
