PLUNGED TO DEATH.
Three Fatal Falls in Pittsburg and
Allegheny Yesterday.
TWO DROP FROM TRACTION,HOUSEs'
One Victim Supposed to Have Been Over
come by the Heat.
RAILROADS MAKE ANOTHER SUFFERER

Levi Jones, 16-year-old boy, fell through
the elevator shaft at No. SO Third avenue
last evening, and will probably die
from THE injuries received. He was
employed by the City Mission Pub
fishing Company, who occupy the
building where the accident occurred.
1t happened just at o'clock, when the boy
was preparing to quit work and go home to
his supper. Jones was taken to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital, where the physicians
worked with him until late last night. He
was suffering from very serious conclusion
of the brain and is not expected to live. De-
tails of the accident could not be learned.
The home of young Jones is on Holmes
street, Eighteenth ward.
Two of the Kind in Allegheny.
In Allegheny there were two falls which
will prove fatal, and by strange coincidence
both victims fell from the carhouse of the
two great Allegheny traction roads. The
first was James Williamson. He was
working on some wires in the
great skylight of the Pleasant Val
ley Railroad Company's power house.
There was no ventilation, and it is supposed
the man was overcome by the heat. Whether
from that or an electric shock, he suddenly
fell headlong to the floor OF the power house,
distance OF 40 feet. His skull was fractured,
though life still remained. He was taken to
his home at Monterey and Jackson streets
At a late hour last night he had not recov-
cred consciousness He is married man.
The other case was that of Charles Carroll,
colored whitewasher. He was working on
the structural work in the Pittsburg, Allie
gheny and Manchester car stable when he
lost his balance and fell. The distance was
about 20 feet. He was unconscious when
picked up. His arm and wrist were broken,
and his spine SO badly injured that he can
not recover. He was taken to the Allegheny
General Hospital. His home is at Adams
and Manhattan streets. Carroll is 80 years
old, and has q wife and six children.
The Other Accidents of Yesterday.
At Braddock another man fell yesterday,
but he is not fatally injured. His name is
William Charles. He was working on a
scaffold at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works
and fell to the ground. His thigh was
broken, and he was taken to the Mercy Hos
pital.
The only other serious accident of the day
was that of David Hopkins. He was run
over and instantly killed by a Panhandle
train at CHARTERS. His remains were taken
to Mansfield and placed in charge of Squire
McMillen. He was 30 years old and had just
been married. Coroner Mcdowell will hold
an inquest to-day.
George Stahl, who is employed as a driver
for n. Green & Co., was caught under fall
ing pile of telegraph poles at Thirty-third
and Liberty streets yesterday morning. His
left leg and arm were broken, and he had
his thigh crushed. He was taken to West
Penn Hospital,

FAR AHEAD OF THE CLAIMS.
Amoskeag Engines Pump Several Hundred
Gallons More Than Specified.

Amoskeag Engines Pump Several Hundred
Gallons More Than Specified.
The test of the Amoskeag fire engines
ordered by George p. Hamilton, master in
the engine suit against the city, was held
yesterday afternoon on the Monongahela
wharf at the foot of Wood street. Several
thousand people witnessed it. The object of
the test was to see whether engines Nos. 2
and could pump LOO gallons per minute.
They both went far. ahead of that figure.
The judges were Superintendent George
Browne of the Philadelphia Company; j. ohm
Van Dervelde, of Cleveland, O., and Jacob
Schnelling. all'practical hydraulic engineers
and sworn. Engineers Daniel Echols and
Joseph Whalen and Captains Hennigan,
King and Snyder managed the engines.
No. 2 engine was attached to the plug first,
and threw a stream from Water street out
into the river through hose without a
nozzle. The three judges stood beside the
engine and noted the revolutions on their
own Instruments. Two tests were made of
one minute each, resulting as follows: Steam
pressure, 150pounds: first test, $50 gallons;
second test, 400 gallons; average revolu-
tions, I20, making ID gallons to each revolu-
and pumped $3.50 gallops in a minute. "
inch nozzle was then put on, and No. 8
threw a stream almost to the Smithfield
street bridge. This, however, was not part
of the test, the only ouestion being the num-
ber of gallons pumped. Prior to the test
Chief Elliot wanted to bet 5000 that No.
engine could throw more water and keep it
up longer than any engine of its-size and
class in the country. There was no taker.

MISMANAGEMENT CHARGED.

[ Governor Pattison Refuses to Sign the APP
preparation for the West Penn Hos
pital Deficiency He VIII Not En-
courage Recklessness-What the Man
ayers Have to Say.
Governor Pattison has charged the West
Penn Hospital authorities with mismanage-
| ment and has cut off an item of So, 600 in the
appropriation to make up deficiency in the
| surgical and medical department. AS re-
suit the managers and friends of the hospital
| are indignant. In making the veto the Gov
ernor said;
al am not disposed to encourage the mis-
management of hospitals which incur def
ciencies by approving bills for State aid to
make them up. am not willing to encour-
age repetition of such recklessness by so
readily extending the bounty of the Com
monwealth to relief from its results
When Alexander Nimick, a member of the
MED that the deficit was caused by mis-
management. Said he: "The trouble is
that the institution has too great a heart,
and cares for more people than 1t Is
able to pay for. Mr.. McCreery is one
of those energetic, pushing men, and likes to
see the hospital running over with patients
As result we have more patients than we
have money to pay for Nearly all the per.
sons treated there are charity patients. OF
course the railroads pay for all the people
they send there, but there are so many
others that we cannot pay for all
of them and the deficiency is the
result. We cannot blame the Cover
nor for vetoing the bill because some of the
appropriations must be killed in order to
make the money reach. Still it is unktnd
to charge mismanagement As for making
up the deficiency, we have had similar ones,
and they have been paid by fairs and
private Subscriptions. 1 suppose this debt
will have to be cleared the same way"
Samuel Hamilton explained the deficit by
the statement that several years ago the
hospital was given SIS, 600 year toward sup
porting the injured and sick that were
brought to the hospital. Since then the pop
ulation has greatly increased, and people
from all over the western end of the State
have been sent to the hospital until the ap
preparation is not near adequate to pay for
their maintenance. He thought the West
Penn Hospital deserved better treatment at
the hands of the Governor.
William Roseberg also declared that there
was no mismanagement, simply too many
charity patients He thought Governor
< Pattison did not understand the case.

NOT GOING TO DIxMONT.

John Woods, of Mt. Washington, Escapes q
Living Death-The Court Refuses to
Grant the Application of His SOn-The
Matter Settled.
John Woods, of Mt. Washington, will not
go to Dixmont at this time. 1t was related
In The DISPATCH some weeks ago that COM
mission in lunacy had been applied for to sit
on Mr.. Woods case, the application having
been made by Mr.. Woods son William, an
auctioneer of some celebrity.
Not only was Mr.. Woods taken back by
tne notlncation to appear and prove his san
lty, Dut so also were his friends generally,
ana Attorney N. W. Shafer was consulted as
TO the best method of procedure. Mr..
Shafer went into court and asked to have
the matter quashed on the ground that the
petition was not supported by the affidavits
necessary to constitute foundation for ini-
tlal proceedings according to the act of 1886,
made and provided to govern such cases.
Judge Coiller has given his decision quash-
ing the writ 1t seems that cases of this
kind are like to escape the scrutiny of the
Court in their initial stage, as It is taken for
granted that papers are regular, and orders
asked Ior are sometimes made on verbal
representation and without the reading of
petitions by the Court. OF course, where
person charged with being a lunatic has
friends, or Is vigorous fighter himself, he
Is not ike 10 pc sent to an insane asylum,
but he Is put to much trouble and expense,
and If not pugnacious, or just a little bit
daft and without friends, is liable to be ju-
d1cially buried before his time. The por-
trayal of the horrors of such work is not
overdrnwn by the celebrated English novel
ist who attacked the English madhouse sys-
tenn. A person charged with insanity stands
poor show in defending himself as he is
not given much credit, even though his de-
meanor indicates sanity.
Mr.. Woods is well-to-do. He has money at
interest and has good farm, and it is said
has already given his son farm. Whether
the latter will begin de novo is not known,
but he Is out some $50 and his time on the
present venture. Mr.. Woods, the elder,
lives on and manages his farm in summer
DR.. Mccormick. Those who know him well
say they never saw anything that appeared
to indicate unsound intellect.

PUT INTO PORT FOR REPAIRS.
The Result of a False. Conception of Har-
Messing Horse.


Attorney William A Sipe put into port for
repairs yesterday. Some time ago Mr.. Sipe
hired what IS known in vulgar parlance as a
"green Dutchman" as mn-of-all- work on
his farm at Brightwood station, Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railway. The man is a good
hand, generally speaking, but it seems that
he doesn't, at least didn't, know much about
hitching horse to buggy. The other day
Mrs. Sipe told the man to hitch up a spirited
but gentle mare and drive her down the hill
to the station. The man didn't understand
the holdback-strap arrangement, thinking
perhaps that horses business was to go
ahead, and not backward. Mrs. Sipe did
not notice the deficit in the affair until
they came to descend the steep hill
when suddenly and without ceremony the
mares heels twinkled above the DASH
board. Then the animal tried to get away
from the buggy, but the hired man held a
tight rein on her, and she was forced to con-
tent herself with kicking, which she did
with a will, and soon there was no DASH
board, and the occupants were forced to
lives, the mares heels coming within few
feet of their faces repeatedly.
The driver retained his presence Of mind
and pulled the frantic animal toward the
hillside gnd partly up it, when the buggy
upset and liberated the mare, which, as soon
as she was free, turned around and contem-
plated the wreck nervously. Mrs. Sipe
landed on the edge of a 50foot precipice, but
fortunately escaped with some slight
bruises. The driver also was not hurt worth
total wreck, and the mare has no cuticle
below the second joint on her hind legs.
Mrs. Sipe, being cool headed and an accom-
plished horsewoman, did not faint, but she
will hereafter inspect the brake arrange
ments before attempting to come down that

DISTURBED BY THE NOISE.

County Commissioners Will See to the Re-
paving of Ross Street.
An informal meeting of the County Prison
Board was held yesterday to discuss the
matter of having a noiseless pavement laid
on Ross street between the Court House and
Jail. The rattling of wagons over the pave
ment has been a source of annoyance ever
since the new Court House has been con-
structed. The grand jury made present
ment to court declaring it q nuisance, but
nothing has been done.
Yesterday, at the meeting, it was decided
that the matter did not come within the
jurisdiction of the board, but belonged to
the County Commissioners, who will confer
with the city authorities regarding repaving
the street.

NOT A POLITICAL EVENT.
Wild Rumors About the Purposes of the
Big Labor Day in Ohio.

Wild Rumors About the Purposes of the
Big Labor Day in Ohio.
A wild rumor was started yesterday to the
effect that the big labor demonstration to be
held in Steubenyille July 6 is to be conduct
ed in the interest of the Democratic party.
The rumor was based on the fact that Gov
ernors Pattison, Campbell and Fleming all
of whom are Democratic, and about a dozen
Democratic labor leaders, are to deliver ad-
dresses. W. j. Smith, president of the
Flint Glass Workers, and one of the speak
ers of the day, said:
There is no doubt at all that the Republi-
can party is one that has broken many
promises with the laboring people: the Gov
ernors particularly, and possibly all the
speakers, will lose no opportunity to tell the
laboring classes this, and the demonstration
will no doubt have an effect on the next gen.
eral election, but it would be absurd to say
that the event has been arranged for politi-
cal purposes"
The affair will be the largest labor
demonstration ever held in this vicinity.
1t is anticipated that. 20, 600 men will be in
line. All the unions in this city will be rep
resented. Several thousand will go from
here.

PUT HIS EYE TO THE BUNG HOLE.
Mr. Roll Has an Experience With Whisky
Barrel He Won't Repeat,


George C. Roll, wholesale liquor dealer,
of Washington street, was startled yester-
day afternoon, and so were his neighbors.
Mr.. Roll had q whisky barrel which he
thought should still contain little red eye,
He wasn't certain whether it did; but he be-
came aware of the fact after little investi-
cation, which, although not quiet, was very
thorough.
Mr.. Roll took the barrel in his hands and
placed it end downward on the counter.
Then he struck match and held it at the
lower bung hole, while he applied his eye to
the upper one to ascertain how much
whisky the barrel contained. Then it
seemed as if the crack of doom had sounded.
The head of the barrel assembled to the cell
ing and lodged in an upper story, grazing
Mr. Rolls head in its fight, taking along his
hat as memento. The whisky caught fire
for there was some there after all-and
blazed away so that Mr.. Roll could conscien-
tiously affirm that he had had some whisky
in that barrel. But he made up his mind, as
he estimated his loss, that the next time he
wanted to get at the contents of whisky
barrel he would not apply lighted match
to bung hole emitting an explosive gas.
