FOUR MEN FATALLY HURT.
A Falling scaffold Drops Them Fifty
Feet-Criminal Carelessness.

A Falling scaffold Drops Them Fifty
Feet-Criminal Carelessness.
SALTsBURG, Pa, Sept. IA terrible
accident occurred here Friday night at the
railroad bridge. A swinging scaffold
under the bridge was crowded with nine
workmen, who were about quitting when
the ropes broke, precipitating the entire
party into the river, fifty feet below. The
river is very low, and the men fell in
confused mass on the sharp stones. four
of them being fatally injured, while the
rest were more or less bruised. The
tackle was old and untitled for the pur-
pose it was used for.
Names of the Four Victims.
Those who were fatally injured are: j.
c. Repergle, several ribs broken and
breast crushed, and badly bruised, hurt
internally; S. w. Reed, terrible cash on
head and fatally injured internally; W
d. Wilson, heck sprained, bruised and
injured internally; George Flemming,
back seriously hurt and fatally injured
internally; James Cunningham, badly
bruised and injured, but not fatally.
A Boys Miraculous Escape.
A little son of Foreman Joseph Artley,
who was standing Oh the scaffold, made a
miraculous escape. When the scaffold
gave way he grasped an iron girder of the
