Fatal Fall from a High S.eeple.

New YORK, June 81 A derrick on the
tower of Grace Church used for hosting
stone and building material for the new
steeple fell yesterday, carrying with it a
mass of timber and rigging. Joseph Nc
Kee, the derrick rigger, and Robert Simp-
son, a mason, were caught in the ropes. Nc
Kee was rescued and sent to the hospital,
where his wounds were pronounced prob
ably fatal. Simpson was caught in the rig
ging some distance below the edge Of the
tower, and remained there for long time,
suspended one hundred and sixty-fve feet
over the street. He was finally rescued,
and sent to the hospital. His recovery is
doubtful. Several large stones crashed
through the roof Of the church, and did
damage amounting TO $1,000. The acct
dent was caused by the foot of the derrick
slipping as IL was being raised. Throng'
of people gathered to see the rescue OF
Simpson.

Failure OF N. Morgan's Sons.

New YORK, June 25.-Matthew Nor.
gan's Sons, bankers, have suspended. The
announcement caused depression in the stock
market, but it soon recovered, and became
steadier. The firm is an old one. They are
not members of the Stock Exchange, but are
known as merchants bankers, drew ex-
change and dealt in securities not on the list.
The suspension is attributed TO the shrink
age of values in railroad bonds, principally
Denver Il Rio Grande, of which they were
large holders at high prices. Edward
Morgan is expected from Europe in few
days. Their liabilities are mainly due on
exchange, but they have no liabilities on
the Stock Exchange. The members OF the
firm are large rea-estate owners, the New
York Hotel being one of their holdings, and
it is believed that inability to realize on real
estate is the immediate cause Of the suspen-
sion.
The house of NJ. Moygan's Sons has been
in business in this city thirty five years.
The members came originally from New
Orleans, and have always been correspond
ents of several London houses. They we're
rated at 81 900, 900.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Blaine campaign to parallel the
entrance Of Grant, Conkling, and
Cameron into the Garfield cam
paign. There wilt few of the
party leaders in the field in the
next sixty days who were then on
the stump in many States. Per
haps there was not sufficient au-
thority for it, but when Blaine was
nominated it was reported that Mr.
Conkling would re-enter politics by
speaking in mis- support. There
is no hope Of that now. 1t is said
that John Sherman has almost lost
his voice for any purposes Of the
campaign. Gen. Grants brief and
effective talks will not, as in the
Garfield battle, call tens Of thOus-
