the elevator about 80 feet, caused by the

day previous and no fear was felt that the
accident would occur. The injured
parties have been removed to their
homes and are resting easily as
5he circumstance will permit. 1t is
feared that Captain Hite aud Captain Har-
wood have internal injuries of a serious ma
lure, and much solicitude is felt for them

I is not thought dangerously. Beard, at

no bones having been broken. Captain
