SChOOihOuSe.
The Platform on Which He Was
Working Broke In Two and
Let Him Drop.

John Hennessy, q painter, was killed on
the corner of Nineteenth and Collingwood

way and he fell distance of fifty feet. He
was removed to the City and County
Hospital, where he died on the operating
table.
The deceased, c. Dunn and J. Sworp
were engaged on one side of the building.
They were hard at work putting on the
first coat of paint when one of the falls
gave way and all three were thrown off
the staging.
AS Dunn swung off he caughta rope, and
although his hands were skinned and
blistered by the friction, he managed to
break his fall and reached the ground in
safety Sworp saved himself by catching
a projecting timber which broke his fall
but left him in such a condition that he
had to be removed to his home on Mission
street.
at all occurred so quickly that 1 don't
really know how it happened" said Dunn.
when felt the scaffold drop instructive
ly grabbed for anything in sight and fortu-
nateIy caught the rope and saved my life. :"
Hennessy was sitting on one end of the
swinging scaffold and Sworp on the other
Dunn was standing in the middle. Sud-
denly the board on which they were gave

ENGINE-HOUSE ROOFS.
The Manufacturers Association Wants
the Fire Commissioners to Use
Home Products.

AT recent meeting of the Board OF Fire
Commissioners it was decided to erect FIVE
new houses for fire engines trucks. etc.
The Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation examined the specifications for ma
terial to be used in the proposed buildings
1t was found that the board decided to
have corrugated iron for roofing, and as
that is distinctively an Eastern product
the Manufacturers Association have pro-
tested against its use and asked to have
the specifications altered, in the following
letter addressed yesterday to the Fire Conn
missioners:
Gentlemen: Information has reached this
Office to the effect that your board are about to
contract for the erection of four or five new en-
gine-houses in this City and that in your speci-
fications you call for corrugated iron roofing
Corrugated iron or tin roof is an Eastern
product entirely, while there is produced in
California tile and slate roofing which are ex-
clusively California products. The cost OF this
roofing exceeds that of tin or corrugated iron
by about one-third, but the fact of its wearing
so much greater time taken together with the
improved appearance makes it much more
desirable article for roofing.
This is matter that is deserving of a great
deal of attention and we hope that your hon.

ton OF buildings and the purchase OF supplies,

the Old Lock Game.

John Eggers, a Butcher, Swindled by
the Old Lock Game.
John Feldhausen, "bunko" man, was
arrested yesterday by Policemen O'Connor,
Graham and Coleman and locked up in the
City Prison.
On June 10 John Eggers, butcher from
the country who was living at 631 Sacra-
mento street, met Feldhausen and two
other men in front of the Palace Hotel.
Feldhausen made himself agreeable and
soon introduced Eggers to the flock game"
Eggers was shy of the game and Feldhau-
sen asked him for loan of 500 and they
could divide the profits. Eggers pulled a
$50 gold piece out of his pocket and Field
hansen snatched it out of his hand and
disappeared. The two other men held him
to prevent him pursuing the thief.
Eggers did not meet Feldhausen again
till two days ago near the railroad depot
on Townsend street. Eggers asked him
for his 500 and Feldhausen knocked him
down and ran away.

STOLE AT THE BIG FIRE.
Thomas Meehan Sentenced to One Year
in the County Jail.

Thomas Meehan, young man about %
years of age, appeared in Judge Conlan's
court yesterday for sentence on the charges
of petty larceny and vagrancy.
During the confagration of last Thurs
day Meehan was caught stealing clothing
from the victims of the fire by Policemen
Perrin and Chase.
The Judge sentenced him to six months
Imprisonment on each charge, and in
doing so expressed his regret that he could
not give him longer sentence.
while the poor people" said the Judge,
"were trying to save their household goods
from the ravages of the fire you stole
everything you could lay your hands on in
order to get money to buy drink. You
were guilty of one of the most despicable
things that can be conceived. You ought
to feel heartily ashamed of yourself"

j. p. Harmon Arrested for Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses.
J. P Harmon, polisher, was arrested
yesterday ON warrant charging him with
obtaining money by false pretenses. The
complaining witness is Joseph Cunning
ham, who lives on O'Farrell street.
Cunningham alleges that Harmon told
him some time ago that he was the propri-
etor of hardwood polishing business,
and that he had over $500 in orders on
hand. He wanted a partner and suggested
that Cunningham should buy half-inter-
est in the business.
Cunningham believed Harmon's state
ments and handed him 500 for half
interest in the business. He found that
Harmons hardwood polishing establish
ntent only existed in his Imagination, so
he swore out warrant for his arrest.

some special charm that many are
anxious to enjoy. Twenty five years

not be the reason why the demand
for office is always great whether the
party in power be the Republican
or Democratic, We are forced to
the conviction that it is nothing
more or less in many cases than a
desire to be in public service, under
the belief that money earned in that
service is secured without much la
Dor. In other words, the impress.
sion has gone abroad that the office
holder labors not, but that with him
is sunshine and beautiful weather.

startling facts become plain to the
public.

of Missouri. Republican ballots
were re placed with Democratic bal.

of replacing the ballots cast by the
voter with fraudulent ballots. AT.

the boxes were opened and the Re
publican tickets put on one pile and
the Democratic tickets on another.
and then the Republican tickets
were taken bodily and cast into the
stove, and the same replaced with
Democratic tickets from the extra
supply Of 1900 in the hands of the
Judges. This testimony is given by

1874.

The record of 1894 has been made.
Perhaps WI do not exaggerate when
we say that it hardly has its parallel
in the history of the American Re-
public. Its financial disturbances
have shattered the fortunes Of thou
sands. Its business depressions have
created an army Of tramps. who are
still without work and without pros
poets. The shock caused by the
commercial upheaval was only
equaled by the great political up
hcavel that came so quietly but so
forribly on the sixth day of Novem.
Der last. There has been no period
IN time of peace within our history
where the force of popular opinion
has been so powerfully exhibited as
in the departed Year of Our Lord,
1894.
Party shackles were torn asunder
with the same ease that the pattering
rsindrops fall. Men eminent in pub
lie life have been swept from power,
remorselessly and without effort,
apparently. Sectionalism is forgot
ten, and Missouri in the ~upheavel finds
herself almost a Republican state. The
year 1894, therefore, BIAS been a his.
tory-maker. The name will go down
.cqnnected,Inot only with the panic,
but will also be recalled in history as
the one fraught with the most mo.
mentous political upheaval in the po-
litical history of America.
