searching every corner Of the South with
the fierce light of newspaper criticism

all crimes. outrages and disorders to po-
Htical account, and indicating by every
speech and article and vote its desire TO
see the Southern State governments IN

shift Should be protected By, doors that close
with q cateh-lock on the inside, SO that no
person can effect an entrance into the open
elevator-way nor use the elevator itself e1-
cept when the conductor is in charge.
III the recent case, the unfortunate
victim Of careless practice was on the fifth
story, and the elevator was at the basement.
Young THOMPSON opened the hhll-door, and
reached over for the rope with the purpose
of starting the elevator upwards. It is
thought that another young man ut the first
story pulled the rope at the same time, and
with the came purpose, and that THOMPSON
was thus jerked over md lost his balance
and footho]d. Whether or not this theory
be correct, the accident is. directly due to
the loose practice which prevailed in the use
of the elevator, and strict official supervision
Is probably the only safe protection against
the frequent recurrence Of such accidents,
and the suppression Of the reckless system
responsible for them.

DEATH BY ELEVATORS.

Among the modern improvements for the
convenience Of mankind, the elevator seems
to be disciple Of Nautilus in the service it
renders in the limiting of population. A
record Of the number Of deaths and serious
acc1dents that have occurred in this city
alone during the past year would be up
pallng, and the prudential person who de-
eAnes to trust himself to this ,JdciIs-deccnsus
instrument is no longer laughed at for his
caution. We publish this morning the
verdict Of the Coroner's jury in the case OF
eHARIEs d. THOMPSON, Jr., who met his
death on the last day Of the old year by fall
ing down an elevator-way in a building
On Fifth avenue, which had once before
oeen the scene of similar accident. The
evidence in this latest case was such as to
ca4 from the Coroner's jury censure Of
Inc owner Of the building, ID because be
oas permitted the elevator to be used BY sew
era hrms without any one being responsible
,o Its movements, and C2) because be has
ie1t the approaches to the elevator unpro-
.eeted except BY ordinary doorways and
INCHES, and accessible to all who desired to
1on It, The Coroner's jury was so much i'm
pressed with the dangers incident to such
.@eless management Of the elevator that it

oes TO the necessity Of closer supervision
