An elevator in the 3-story warehouse
of the Standard Iron Mill, at Bridgeport,
fell from the third story to the ground on
Tuesday, demolishing the elevator and
seriously injuring a man named Howell.
Howell loaded 1900 pounds of iron on
the elevator, and getting on himself
started it upward. When almost to the
third floor some part of the support gave
way, and the whole thing dropped to the
bottom, striking with great force, and
throwing Howell some distance, and
hurting him internally. The elevator
had been inspected recently, and was sup
posed to be in good condition. Howell,
at last accounts, was in a critical condl-
ton.
