SAN Francisco, Aug. 26.-Anotherf fear
full accident occurred shortly before 2
o'clock this afternoon. Three brick
layers-Charles Meisner, G. II. Stratton
and Fred Dyer-were engaged in clean
ing down the outside wall of the Mills
building on the Bush-street side. They
were standing on a swinging scaffold
which was suspended from the roof by
ropes. One stood at each end and the
other in the middle. Dyer was working
at the extreme east end of the scaffold
which hung just even with the window
sills of the eighth story, when the rope at
that end broke, the scaffold swung down
perpendicular and Dyer went spinning
downward to the pavement. His body
revolved many times in the air before it
struck with an awful crash upon the side
walk
There were hundreds of people on the
streets who saw the man falling, and the
sight was so awful that number of
women tainted.
In some miraculous manner both Meis-
ner and Stratton managed to grab thin
iron railing that was fastened to the
backside OF the scaffold, and by holding
on for their lives were in short time
rescued through the windows by some Of
the other employees. They were OF course
unhurt, but were naturally very much
used up by the shock, and by the eX-
haustion from holding on to the railing.
Dyer first struck the wooden fence
which surrounds the building, broke
that and then came right upon the fiat of
his back on the wooden walk. He never
breathed after he struck.
A laborer known as "Bill'' among his
comrades also met his death by accident
at the new Aronson building, on Post
street, near Powell, about o'clock this
afternoon. He was wheeling a barrow
full of bricks along narrow plank,
about eight feet above the first story
floor. The wheel struck brick and the
barrow was thrown forcibly to one side
One of the handles of the wheelbarrow
struck the unfortunate man, hurting
him off the plank and down upon the
rough floor joints below. He struck on
his side; his ribs were crushed, and there
were other Injuries which caused death
in short time.
