mules were permitted to take their time
and the public wells in different parts of
the city were more frequently in use than
on other days.
Yesterday forenoon, at about eleven
o'clock, Mr.. William Clotello, the man who

the elevator, but he IS the first in whose
case the fall resulted fatally. The funeral
will probably take place to-day.
