AN ELEVATOR ACCIDENT
THOMAS RAst R OF GResNToWN, KILLED
AT CINCINNATI,
For Two Hours His Body Lay Under the
Wreck OF Broken Elevator Before He
was Missed and Found Dead.

Was Missed and Found Dead,
Thomas Raber of Greentown was killed
at Cincinnati Saturday in an elevator ac-
cident. He was the son of Lewis Raber
and nephew Of ex-county commissioner
Raber. He was 36 years OF age and up
married.
The Cincinnati Enquirer OF Sunday had
the following: Down TO death an unfor
tunate fell without moments warning.
There he lay in a cellar, crushed and
mangIed, for an hour before his body was
discovered.
Such was the awful fate of Thomas Ra-
ber in an elevator accident at Ben. Brett
enbeck's stable, No. 60 George street,
shortly before noon yesterday. Raber was
employed as hostler at the Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S stable, a few doors below where
the accident occurred. About 1880 o'clock
yesterday morning he was asked to help
j. II. Ratterman, known as "the saw
dust man." to take wagon load of saw
dust up on the elevator in Breitenback's 's
stable TO the second floor. lie readily com.
piled, and as has been the custom for
years, the two men unhitched the horse
from the wagon.
Ratterman took hold Of the shafts and
guided the wagon on the elevator, while
Raber pushed from behind. The eleva-
tor platform was not exactly level, and
unless the wheels on Ruber's side were
.
Just as RRber stopped to place a block
under the wheels one of the ropes broke,
and the wagon and men were precipitated
into the cellar. Raber fell first and the
wagon on top OF him, completely burying
him from sight. Rstterman fell on top OF
the wagon, and was thrown against post.
He was picked up in semi conscious con.
dition, and taken TO his home at the foot
OF Oehler street, where his injuries were
found to be of serious nature. His
shoulder, arm, side and legs were badly
bruised, and it is feared he sustained
Internal injuries.
Perhaps 100 people viewed the wreck Of
the broken elevator, but none dreamed
that dead body lay beneath il. Shortly
before 1 p. m. the foreman of the Wells
Fargo stable was looking at the wreck, 1,
and asked If Raber had returned from
taking the injured man home. Then II
was learned that he had not gone home
with Ratterman. A boy named Willie
Meyers pointed into the cellar and said |.
"Wby, there's TOMS hat" An investiga.
tion was made, and the unfortunate mans
body was found under the wagon, which
had crushed his head to a pulp. Patrol
No. was called and raised the body out of
the cellar and took it to the morGue.

FIXING THE COST OF LABOR.
Reasons why the Public Should Have
Something TO Say About It.

From t Chicago Daily News.
Carnegie, Frick aud the other mill
owners at Homestead protest that they
should have the right to manage their
mill affairs without interference from
their work1ren. Let us see If there are
grounds ON which this proposition may
be combated.
1t is clear, at least, that riot and
bloodshed under certain conditions are
part of the programme as outlined by
the Homestead mill owners These are
not Blessings.
The great industry which has built up
the town containing the homes owned
by the locke dIout wOrkmeR has been
fOstered by tAe people of the whole
nation They have permitted them
selves TO be taxed for long period of
years in order that this industry might
grow great and might employ thous.
ands of workmen at good wages. The
tens of thousands of miles of railway
that have been built in this country OF
protected rails we're greatly enhanced
in cost by the shutting out of foreign
competition. The farmer whose grain
is hauled TO the seaboard has found tine
price lowered to him because the cost of
transp .rtation is rendered high by the
necessity Of the railways paying a fair
return for money invested. So the
amazing prosperity of Carnegie, Frick
and the rest. and the wages paid to
their men, have had far-reaching in
fuence. on the affairs of this country.
Yet, say the mill.owners, it is for
them to decide what they shah do in
their business. They do not recognize
the right of the people who have Volun-
tarily taxed themselves for the benefit
of millowners and mill hands TO inter
fere.
Who rule in this nation? The peo.
pie. Who are taxed? The people.
Who fix the rate of payment for the
peoples laborS The mill-owners; at
least they claim that right.

were nearly destroyed by Are early Sunday
morning. The department responed
