terrible fatality, involving the death OF
two hod carriers, named Matthew Corners
and Patrick O'Connell. who were employed
on the building These men had been al
work under Mr.. Huston for the past month,
and had kept up feud between them through
out that time, "spatting" at each other when
ever occasion offered. This morning about
T. 80 o'clock they were at work together in
the third story of the building, when their
quarrelling was renewed, and in the heat of
passion they clinched each other as they
were standing close to one of the window
spertures. These openings are very low, the
sill being within foot of the flooring,
and it is believed that in the scufle which
ensued the men lurched against the sill, lost
their balance and fell out. They went dow n
together, one back and the other face fore
most, and fell with sickening thud upon
the solid earth below, a distance of over
thirty feet. One had his neck broken and
was killed instantly; the other lived few
minutes, dying just as Dr. Beede. who had
been hastily summoned, arrived. The wild
ows and friends of the dead men were speed

festation of grief. Mrs. O'Connell sitting
down by her husbands body and taking his
head in her lap in an outburst of grief. Cor
oner Littlefield took charge of the bodies and
brought them over TO this city, where they
resided. Drs. Beede and Sturgis made
cursory examination of the bodies, but not
enough to determine the precise cause of
death. OConnelPs heart beat few min
utes after the fall, but Corners was pulseless
when the doctors reached the spot. The
conclusion was ample cause in either case.
Over Corners temple was bleeding. wound,
and it was thought O'Connell's neck was
broken. O'Connell leaves a widow and four
children. Corners leaves widow and six
children-three sons and three daughters.

the families involved in this awful and I'M
