Yesterday twodarkies We're engaged,
at the commission house of Messrs.
Carnes n Thorburn, in piling u quanti-
~ of millet.seed on the hanging plat
form. While at work on the platform,
three of the rods broke, letting the
whole concern fall. One of the dark
les was dumped 80 heavily, that he
was driven through the head of a bar
rel of onions, and injured so severely
that he had to be taken to his home In
an express wagon. The other darkey,
who had entertained certain misgiv-
ings of the platform previously, made
n spring, and got out of harms way.
Turning round, ne gazed intently at
the wreck for few moments, and
then with his head cooked to one side,
he uttered constantly, ~ tole you so p
81 dun tole you sop The rods which
supported the platform, We're of very
poor iron, and the three giving way at
once, precipitated the whole concern
to the floor. That kind of shelf, looks
dangerous under any circumstance.
