-raCtprv

Two worlxmen Injured Thls Morning by
the Tumblins OF Wall at the Burned
Morocco Factory.
The front wall of Quigley's morocco
factory, the scene of Sunday mornings
fire. fell in at 7.40 O'Clock this morning
and severely injured two colored men,
employed in putting out skins. John
Watey, 512 Tatnall street and Edward
H. Williams, SIP Orange street are the
unfortunate men. At the time of the
accident there were in the second story
of the building, James Young Eddie, an
Office boy, John Watey and E. II. VIII
liams. The wall had been examined yes
terday and pronounced safe. In the
southeast corner of the second story OF
the building was large pile Of
skins. About 715 this morning
Mr. Quigley directed the men to throw
these skins into the street so as to be
able to ascertain if they were of any
value. The men had been engaged in
this work about fifteen minutes when
Williams noticed the wall falling and
started to run for the street large
crowd had gathered in the street and
they also noticed the falling wall ana set
up a shout. This led all the men to try
to escape. Williams jumped into the
street as the wall fell in and was caught
with some of the falling bricks. Will
liams staggered over to the curb on the
opposite side of the street. Watey
was knocked into the cellar. two
stories down and was shortly afterwards
carried out by some Of the bystanders.
| The other two escaped without scratch.
DIR. J. G. Fahey was at once summoned
and the men taken to DIR. J. NJ. Griffen's
drug store where their wounds were
dressed. DIR. Fahey found that Williams
was very seriously injured, having a con
fusion Of the scalp, slight concussion Of
the brain, and was hurt internally.
Waters bled freely, and the doctor put
a half dozen stitches into a six-inch SCALP
wound. Both men were taken to their
homes in Transfer CompSny's cab, and
are receiving careful attention from Dr.
Fahey. Williams was complaining OF
considerable pain when seen about Il
o'clock by an EVENING JOURNAL re
porter.
At tho time of the fall of the wall 8
very stiff wind was blowing and as the
wall is not over nine inches in thickness
the wind probably blew the wall down
The falling Of the wall necessitates thu
entire rebuilding Of the factory. Thl
other walls will be taken down at onc'
and the work Of rebuilding win be com
menced as soon as the insurance compa
MES adjust the losses.
The telephone wires were torn iron

The Preface to the Book Made Public To-
day.
New YORK, Sept. 4.-The preface to
Gen. Sheridan's memoirs was made
public to-day, and is as follows:
"When, yielding to the solicitations OF
ny friends, I finally decided to write
these memoirs, the greatest difficulty
which confronted me was that
of recounting my share in the
many notable events of the last three
decades in which [ played part, with
out entering too fully into the history of
these years and at the same time without
giving to my own acts an unmerited
prominence. To what extent I have
overcome the difficulty | must leave
the reader to Judge.
Gin offering this record, penned by my
own hand, of the events of my life and
of my participation in our great strug-
gle for national existence, human liberty
and political equality, [ make no pre-
tension to literary merit; the import
ance of the subject matter of my nara.
tive is my only claim on the readers at
tention.
Respectfully defeating this work to
my comrades in arms during the war OF
the Rebellion, l leave it as heritage
to my children and as source of infor-
nation for the future historian.

It was inevitable that there should
be some feeling displayed among the
defeated men, and there should rtsaain
some sore spots, The most Disguised
crowd to leave this city last night was
the anti McCord lobby which came here
from Wausan and Merrill. Their
war on McCord was purely
personal and was the outgrowth of the
business relations which formerly ex.
listed between McCord and II. w. Wright
and the Scott Lumber Company. They
accused McCord Of crookedness while
in the county board in the Legislature,
and while McCord was in the banking
facts seem to be that in certain specu-
lative deals each tried to get the ad-
vantage of the other, and McCord seems
to have been able to outwit his enemies.
This was the view taken by other
delegates, and it is probable that the at
tacks made upon McCord created re-
action in his favor, and the damage, if
any, was to the attacking party.
