FELL DOWN THE SHAFT.
A Timer Killed While at Work ON the
New Census Building.

The first ser ious accident that has occurred
during the construction Of the Harrison fats
Census office, corner of Sd and streets north
west, occurred yesterday afternoon. in which
Enoch N. Lewis met a horrible death. Lewis
was timer in the employ Of R. Shelton and
was on the top floor of the building lining the
elevator shaft when the accident occurred.
There was piece of board across the shaft and
Lewis attempted to cross over on the temporary
scaffolding, when the board broke and let him
down the shaft. distance of nearly 60 feet, to
the top of the elevator. In falling the unfortu-
nate mans feet struck the side of the
shaft and both legs were broken. One
arm and hand were also broken. He landed
mead hrst between the sharp edges of two
panels on the elevator and his skull was broken.
A loud report was made by the fall. The work.
men In the building rescued the injured man
from his frightful position, but he died in
few minutes
The remains of the dead man were removed
IN the sixth precinct patrol wagon to his late
nome, No. 1221 Wylie street northeast. The
deceased leaves wife and one child. Coroner
PATTERSON was notified of the accident, but he
did not think 1t necessary to hold an inquest

this were the heirs willing to accede to the
proposition of the executors. The heirs have
been successful thus far in the courts. the gen.
eral term having sustained them, and it is more
than likely that the court of appeals will do the
same. The executors, IL is said, feel justified
IN agreeing to u compromise.

the Democrats and the Veterans.

The Democrats and the Veterans.
\. Y Press. Feb l.
Mr.. Bynum Of Indiana offered an amend
ment Yesterday in the debate on rules which,
If passed, would bury all pension legislation
in the House. His proposition Is and IN
this he had the substantial support OF the
Democratic party, that when bill for the
increase Of pensions or for granting pensions
not formerly provided for is pending, II
shall be in order TO offer an amendment pro
viding by taxation for the payment thereof
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio did not exaggersie
when he declared that this amendment 50
far as the veterans were concerned, was the
most thoroughly antagOnistic and hostile
proposition ever made on the floor OF the
House. Il is understood as an attempt on
the part of the Democrats TO prevent all leg
isliation favorable to the soldiers. In fact,
il was intended to stop future pension legis-
lation. II is fortunate. therefore, that this
amendment was rejected, though ninety-six
Democrats voted in favor Of it,. The vet
erans of the war will, before this session OF
Congress is over, hSve reason to rejoice that
the country did not have four years more Of
Cleveland and Democratic Congress.
The Poess is opposed to extravaganza and
wastefallness in the administration Of pub
lie Affairs. but it has always advocated fair
and even liberal treatment for those who
Z fought for the Union.
