A TERRIBLE FALL.
ALaborer Precipitated Eight Stories
and Instantly Killed.

and Instantly Killed.
A fatal accident which calls for search
ing investigation by the coroner occurred at
the Temple court yesterday afternoon.
Patrick Game was employed as helper for
the brick masons. One of his duties was
to unload the elevator which hoists by steam
the materials used in completing the struc-
ture. He was working on the eighth story.
An elevator load of thing in barrels was
hoisted I'D. and he proceeded to roll them
off. Accidentally his foot touched the bell
cord, and instantly the signal went to the
engineer below to lower the elevator.
Game did not heed the accident, but stub
bornly persisted in rolling off the barrels.
Suddenly the engine was started in motion
and the elevator darted down. Its tran
sits are very rapid and it is not used to
carving ANYTHING but materials. Caine was
standing on it, and as it began to recede
with great rapidity he was thrown
over backwards, and he fell to the
ground, distance of eight stories.
His colaborers ran quickly to his side, but
before he could be picked up life was eX-
tinct. He struck upon his hands first, but
so violent was the fall, owing to the fright
full distance. that his vital organs were
crushed. The body was forthwith removed
to the city morgue, where it was ascer-
tanned that no external Injuries had been
sustained. Internal hemorrhages contin-
ued for long time after death, Indicating
that the fatal injuries were internal. Cor
oner Hill made cllrsory investigation and
will doubtless conduct an inquest to-day to
ascertain whether OF not the contractor is
culpable in allowing the bell-cord to remain
unprotected from possible accidental con-
tact. The deceased was young man,
thought to be aged about "a years and sin
gle. His parents are in Ireland, but he has
a sister living in St. Louis, who has been
telegraphed the sad intelligence. He has
myriad of friends in this city and they
propose, it is said, to have the accident
carefully investigated.

Towns.

These sums were expended in the towns
where they originated, and were tax on
the people in addition to the proportion Of
the county levy, amounting in 1888 to
So, 996 IA and in 1884 to 81, 1874. SO. A large
part of the town tax was expended on the
county roads, a majority of which led to
Minneapolis, the practice of the county
commissioners being to require the towns to
appropriate a sum equal to that appropri-
ated out of the county treasury for any
particular piece Of work. Under this rul-
ing there must have been appropriated from
the town tax amounting in 1883 to 50, 897. rs
nearly or quite 50, $780, IA and of the town
tax of S12, 714.2 % in 1884 nearly or quite
81, 1914. SO. All this money, it should be
borne i'll mind was expended upon county
and not town roads. Your COM
mittees are further informed that, in adj
dition to this town tax for road purposes,
raised and paid as other taxes are
raised and paid, it is the practice
i'll all the towns to levy highway labor
tax, payable in labor. This tax averages
about 20 mills on the valuation, and would
amount on the present assessed valuation
of the county-$11, 600, 000-tO $27. 500. By
way of illustration, it may be stated that in
Richfield town, in addition to the towns
proportion of the county tax and the town
tax for road purposes. amounting in 1888 to
81, 726. 81, there was paid in highway labor
tax in that year So $50, and in 1884, in adj
dition to the town tax Of 81, 1856. high
way labor tax of 81, 912.26. The total levy
for roads in Richfeld during the two years
was therefore as follows.

Brilliant Afternoon Wedding Al

A brilliant wedding occurred yesterday
afternoon at $50 o'clock, at st. Marks
church, the participants being Mr.. j. 81.
Thompson of Chicago, and Miss Ella,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Smith.
The church, besides 800 invited guests, was
crowded with acquaintances of the bride
and with strangers drawn there by curl
osity. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. T. B. Wells. the pastor of the church,
in the beautiful ritual of the Episcopal
church. The wedding march in Lohengrin
was performed by Miss Lyle as the bridal
party entered the church, and the jubilant
strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march
welled through the auditorium as the party
made its exit. The bride was handsomely
attired in hand-psinted cream boiling cos

Mrs. Henry Roth met a well-known book
keeper employed in Washington avenue
store on the street yesterday afternoon and
confronted him with charge of larceny.
Mrs. Roth had lost gold watch and chain
and claimed to identity a portion
of the chain hanging to the
young mans vest. Detective Quinlan,
at her instance, took the young man to the
lookup, but did not place him under arrest
but was allowed to go pending a closer in
vestigation. Mrs. Roth seems certain, but
the young man protests his innocence.

NOT CHESTNUTS.

Minneapolis jobbers are by no means sat-
isfied with the decision at Chicago recently
on the proposition to abolish carload rates.
MI. Byron reported to the board of trade
yesterday: when we got to Chicago we
found st. Louis men had been there before
us, and while carload rates were not abol
ished, the difference between car and small
lots was made so infinitesimal, in many
grOcers' articles, that the effect is the same.
The question is by no means settled. The
Jobbers' association will take it up, and in
earnest.

Maj. Bassett is making a powerful plea
in behalf of the poorer class of taxpayers.
''It's all right to say the rich pay the heavy
taxes, but if you think they do, read Adam
Smith, John Stuart Mill and all other polit-
ical economists" he said to the board of
trade yesterday.

THIS WAS EQUAL


to a levy of 81 mills on the assessed valua-
ton in 1883 and to 3.42 mills on the as
sessed valuation of 1884. The city paid
toward the improvement of roads in Rich
field, assuming that the disbursements were
equal according to the valuation throughout
the county, S107.S0 in 1888 and S144.20 in
1854 In other words the contribution of
the city to the S12, 962. "a raised for road
purposes in Richield in two years was the
paltry sum of 1852. This system of illus
tration of how much is being made of how
little might be carried out throughout the
county The committee, after more thor
ough and careful investigation. is con-
WINGED that the towns bear their full share
of the burden of building and maintaining
the county roads, taking into consideration
the fact that it is largely to the interest of
the city that the main thoroughfares lead
ing into the city should always be in such
condition as to encourage an interchange OF
trade relations between country and city.
The discussion was the same as hereto
fore Maj. Bassett with lot of facts and
figures attacking the report and Judge At
water supporting him. An effort was made
to lay the matter over again. but the board
rose as one man to protest and the report
was adopted by a vote of s to 3.

CHAPTER vi.

The advantage to one who writes, not a
tale of mag nation, but simple re cord of
events, is this: He need not be bound by
the recognized canons of the STORYTELLING
art-need not exercise his ingenuity to mis-
lead his reader-need not suppress soma
things and lay undue stress on others to
create mysteries to be cleared up at the end
of the tale Therefore, using the privilege
of plain narrator, shall here give some
account of what became Of Miss Rowan, as.
so far as l can remember, l heard it some
time afterward from her own lips.

and those friends who had been present

farm house alone, save for the presence Of
the two servants. Several kin bodies had
offered to come and stay with her, but she
had declined the offers She was in no mood
for company, and perhaps, Icing of such q
different race and breed, would not have
found much comfort in the rough, homely
sympathy which was offered to her. She
preferred being alone with her grief-grief
which, after all, was bound to be much
ightened by the thought Of her own ap-
preaching happiness, for the day was draw
ing near when her lover would cross the
border and bear his bonnie bride away. She
felt sure that she would not be long alone
