ST. LOUIS, March ia frightful &C.
cldent, by which three men were in
stantly killed and two others fatally
injured, occurred at the boiler factory
of Rohan Bros, at the corner of Second

At that hour the bell had just sounded
for the men to go to work, and Frank
Conn and Hugh Duffy were receiving
instructions from Foreman Henry
Kaiser, as to their work for the day.
The three men stood directly beneath an
immense elevator used for hosting
heavy machinery. The elevator was at
the second story of the building. and
Thomas Flaherty and Michael Sweeney
were engaged in loading it with sheet
iron plate. The men sounded the warn
ing bell ~ signal that the elevator was
about to descend. They then started
the huge machine, and it had scarcely
moved when the rope broke, and it fell
with crash on the men standing be-
meath it, crushing them into shapeless
mass of flesh and bones. The other en-
ployes Of the factory rushed to their res
cue, but were compelled to use heavy iron
bars and levers to lift the immense
weight Of broken timbers and iron, in
order to remove the dead and injufed
men. Following is list of tho killed
and injured:
Killed-Henry Kaiser, foreman, ~
North Ninth street; Frank Conn,
boiler maker, Twelfth street and Gexr
avenue, and Hugh Duffy, tackle rigger,
1913 North Twelfth street.
Injured-Thomas Flaherty, Seventh
and Biddle streets, deep cuts on head
and shoulders; Michael Sweeney, Ewing
and Clark avenues, injured internally.
Several men were slightly injured by
flying timbers. The bodies Of the three
dead men were removed to the morgue
and the injured men taken to the city
hospital, where their injuries were pro.
nounced serious and perhaps fatal.
The elevator had been recently repaired
and the rope was comparatively new
The apparatus was inspected few
weeks ago an pronounced in good con-
dition.

Order of the Garter.

The order of the garter was founded in
1874, some writer's say 1850, by Edward III.
The original number of knights was TWEEN
ty-five, his majesty himself making the
twenty-sixth. 1t was founded in honor of
the holy trinity, the Virgin Mary, St. Ed
ward the COnfessor and St. George The
last, who had become the tutelary saint of
England, was considered irs special patron,
and for this reason it has always borne the
title of "The Order of st. George" as well
AS that of The Garter" The emblem OF
the order is "a dark blue rbbon edged with
gold, bearing the motto, "Honi soft qui
nal pense" in golden letters, with a
buckle and pendant of gold richly chased
1t is worn on the left leg below the knee.
Regarding the adoption of this emblem
and motto. the story is tIat the Countess
of Salisbury let fall her garter when dane
ing with the king, and that he picked it up
and tied it around his own leg, but that,
observing the jealous Elances of the queen,
he restored it to its fair owner with the eX-
clamatiOn, 'I4oni soft oui NAL Y pense."
The Order of the Garter. though not the
most ancient, is one of the most famous
military orrIers of Europe. 1t is said to
have been devised for the purpose of at
tracing to the kings party such soldiers
of fortune rs might be likely TO aid in as.
serting the claim which ne vas then max
ing to the crown of France, and intended
as an imitation of King Arthur's Round
Table. The officers of The order are the
prelate, the chancellor, the register, the
garter king of arms and the usher of the
black rod.
