Caught in an Elevator.


This morning about quarter to one
o'clock, j. W. Bishop, formerly of
Winchester, but now engineer at the
Hamilton, met with a frightful acci-
dent.
Mr.. Bishop was in the lobby of the
hotel and entered the elevator with
the purpose Of going to his room on
the third floor and then sending the
elevator down again. When he
reached the landing of the third floor
he stopped the elevator. He then
caught the rope, gave it a sudden
pull and endeavored to leap out the
elevator to the floor of the hallway.
But he was notquick enough. The
elevator, lightened of his weight and
forced with the violent pull he, gave
the rope, rapidly descended and
caught the unfortunate man Just as
he got half way out the elevator door
on to the floor.
The top part Of the elevator caught
him on the back of the head and
forced it against the third landing
with such violence as to break away
several of the boards on the elevator
and to splinter the edge of the floor
where his head was caught. His body
sank back in the elevator, where he
lay stupefied as the elevator descend
ed with its load to the bottom.
Eugene Lyday, clerk, hearing the
noise, fastened to his rescue and
assisted the manito his bed. A piece
of the broken woodwork pierced Mr..
Bishops eyebrow and had to be
pulled out by Mr.. Lyday.
His head was very badly cut, a
cash about two inches long and
exposing the skull was visible over
the right eye and a bad bruise on
the back of the head where he was
struck by the elevator and knocked
down.
DR.. c. B. Boyle was sent for who
stitched the wounds and rendered
the necessary surgical aid.
The accident was frightfuI one,
and it is a matter of wonder that Mr..
Bishop escaped without being in
stantly killed. His condition this
morning was very serious.
[Hagerstoeon Globe, May, II.
Mr.. Bishop is son of Mr.. John
H. Bishop of this place, and at last
account was in q critical condition.

Her three lofty masts had beer
brought from Britain, whereas our
ships masts are of iron or obtained

Island. Luxuriously fitted sleeping
apartments abounded and one of hei
banquet halls was paved with agate
and costly Sicilian stone. Other
floors were cunningly inlaid with
scenes from the "Iliad." Stables fol
many horses, ponds stocked with live
fish, gardens watered by artificial
rivulets, and hot baths were provided
for Use or amI|ement. Ptolemy

OIL ruei on steamers.

The experiments with liquid fuel
ON one or two English steamships aao
ON several belonging TO the Italians,
is again calling the attention of the
engineering profession to possibilities
in the use of that fuel. In the En-
glish torpedo boat, the Sunderland,
this fuel was used with considerable
success. The boiler was of the loco
motive type and was fitted with
thirty-one burners The oil was car.
ried in tank OF suitable capacity
and thence pumped in small cylin-
drical tank; from thence it was forced
to the oil burners under pressure OF
thirty-flve pounds to the square inch;
at the burners it met jets of air de-
lMered under forty pounds pressure,
by which the process of atomiZng
was effectively performed. The COM
bustion is said TO be SO perfect that
there was neither smoke nor smell
from the oil, and no deposit was
formed in the tubes or elsewhere IL
the boiler. The Italian government,
it is stated, will continue its expert.

reported that the Peruvians will dc
