'VOORHIs's NARROW ESCAPE.
Blasted Rock Passed Close to the
Justices Head.
Saved by the Quickness OF Court
Clerk Anthus.

John Murphy. foreman of n gang Of
ing In the rear of the Yorlxville Court,
was held for examination In the court
this morning. on the charge of careless
blasting. A warrant has also been is
sued for the arrest of Patrick Murphy,
the contractor.
1t is claimed hat these two men are
responsible for the blast which came
near putting an end to the career of
Police Justice Noorhis yesterday after
noon. The timely action of Charles
Anthus, one of the court clerks, saved
him.
Blasting of rock has been of almost
daily occurrence at the rear of
the Courthouse. The noise Of
the blast has frequently fright
ened the people in court. and at one time
almost caused a panic. An unusually
loud blast shook the courthouse build
ing, and a great many persons. fearing
that 1t was coming down. made a rush
for the exits. The court squad. however,
succeeded in quelling the panic.
At the close of the court session yes
terday Justice Voorhis. with Court Clerks
Charles Donnelly. Thomas Dinean, Fran
els Connor and Anthus, adjourned to the
Judges private room Tor a smoke and a
chat.
Just outside the window a gang of
workmen was preparing a blast in the
side wall Of the old tunnels, which had
been formerly used for cooking and stor-
ing beer. The building In course OF demo-
lition was Bechtel's Star Brewery. The
Judge. with the others, for some LINE
stood at the window to watch the result
of the blast, but for some reason 1t failed
to 90 off.
While the foreman went to make an
inspection all, with the exception of
Anthus, turned away and engaged In
conversation. Anthus continued to look
at the preparations, and 1t was for
tunate for him and the others In the
room that he did SO. He heard the ex-
plosion and saw the air filed with flying
rocks. An especially large rock was
coming straight for the window. He
sprang back, and at the same time
gave the Judge and his fellow clerks a
shove backward. which sent them out
of reach of the coming missile.
The next instant "A fragment OF rock
Weighing fully ten pounds shot through
the window and crashed against the side
wall of the Judges room, sending a
shower OF splinters and plaster on every
one present. The Judge and the clerks
congratulated each other on their mar
row escape The Judge then ordered
that the room should be locked and
everything left undisturbed as evidence
against the reckless blasters.
