stantly killed and two others fatally
injured, occurred at the boiler factory
of Rohan Brothers shortly after :
o'clock tins morning. Frank Conn and

three men stood directly beneath the inn
mense elevator for hosting heavy ma
chinery. The elevator was at the sec
ond story of the building, and Thomas
Flaherty and Michael Sweeney were
engaged in loading il with sheet-irou
plates. The men sounded the warning
bell as 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 a crash on
the men standing beneath it, crushing
them into shapeless mass of flesh and
bones. The other employees of the fac
tory rushed to their rescue, but wero
compelled to use heavy iron bars and
levers to lift the immense weight Of
broken timbers and iron in order to re-
move the dead and injured men. Fol-
lowing is list of the killed:

Several other workmen were slightly
hurt by flying timbers. The bodies of
the three dead men were removed to
the morgue and the injured men to the
city hospital, where their injuries were
pronounced serious and perhaps fatal.
The elevators had been recently
repaired and the rope was APP
parently new The apparatus was in
spected few weeks ago and pro
nounced in good condition.

Work of tho Department of Justice on
tho Dressed Beet Producers.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-It is known
positively that Phil Armour and the
dresse beef com bination are now get
ting a good deal of attention from the
Department of Justice. Officials
of the department will not say
much because they declare that ii
would be unjust to make statements
until an investigati ton once entered or
is concluded. Then if the evidence
found justifies proceedings for viola
ton of the antitrust law the facts VIII
become public. Attorney-GenerJi
Miller said last evening that 4
special examiner had been i'll
structed to investigate all trr@%
and mbines with a view of fndinr
whether they violate the anti-tru>.
law. The investigation was no, Iii
rected against the dressed-beef peopI
or against any particular class. but if
the special examiner in Chicago found
anything wrong with the dressed beef
combination it would be the prov:nc
of Dstrict-Attorney Milchrist to briu2
the necessary proceedings.

1000 to $4,000 head The inside figure was
nearer correct, but that number was large

receipts equal expectations a further decline
can scarcely be averted, as not nearly all of to-
