A FIERCE BATTLE IN MID AIR.
Workmen Fight While Standing on
Beam Ten Stories Above Ground.

Beam Ten stories ABOVE OIOuAo'
BUFFALO. Oct 23.-Edward Jacobs
and Frank J. Connors, iron workers. en-
ployed on the Elliot Square building,
have been quarrelling some days oveI
the ownership of some tools. The argu-
ment was resumed at the noon hour
today, and was getting warm when the
whistle blew and .the men assembled to
their work again on the tenth floor.
They had been working about fifteen
minutes when COnuors, who was stand
ing near the shaftings, saw iJacobs com
ing towards him, walking on one OF the
IRON scantlings. When he was within
few feet of him Connor5 recognized in
Jacobs hands the tools over which they
had been disputing. He yelled;
you've got them tools now"
"You lie" said Jacobs.
Counors stepped out on the beam and
the men began striking at each other
The beam was ten inches wide, and be-
low them was the network of beams,
ten stolies of tkem. A fall meant death.
The other workmen cried to them to de.
sist. but dared not interfere.
Jacob struck Connors in the breast,
and Connors replied with staggering
blow.
Jacobs aimed another blow, but COn-
nors lodged back, and the impetus OF his
own blow carried jacobs beyond his bal
lance, and he fell, with a cry OF terror,
head first inside the building. His leg
struck a beam at the eighth floor, and
this changed the direction of his tail,
throwing him toward the shafting. Past
the eighth floor he went like shot, turn
ing over and over. Between the seventh
and eighth floors the elevator rope has
! loop. In some way or other Jacobs
grabbed it. With last effort of nervous
force, he threw his leg into the loophole
and hung
| He was taken down, faint and sick
from the fall, and removed to the hospital
where it was found that he had suffered
confusion of the leg and bad cut Oh
the head.

A COMEDY.

They parted with clasp Of hands
And kisses and burning tears.
They met in a foreign land
After some twenty years
Met as acquaintances meet:
Smiling, tranquil eyes;
Not even the least little beat
Of the heart upon either side.
They chatted of this and that,
The nothings that make up life;
She in Gaines bOroughibat,
And he in black for his wife,
All! what a comedy this!
Neither was hurt, it appears;
Yet once she had leaned to his kiss,
And once he had known her tears.

was one the other day In my OWE
experience that foolish superstition
has been knocked out so often that
rather enjoy sitting down to dinner
with thirteen. Once I sat at table
with Sir Arthur Sullivan, the com
poser, as host. There were thirteen
covers, it was the 18th of May and
the occasion was the thirteenth per
formance Of Sullivan and Gilberts

was discovered that there were thir-
teen at table, and, one of the party
being SuperstitiOuS. the landlord was
asked to come in and make the four

that he and not one of the thirteen
lied before the year was out. This iS

BIG PARADE AT CHATTANOOGA.

Last Day of the Exercises Dedicating tht
Chickamauga Battle Field.
Chattanooga, Sept. 20.-This, the third
day of the exercises attendant upon the
dedication of the battle field to be ma
tional park, opened with great civic and
military parade. It brought more peo-
pie into the city proper than have been
here at any one time since the dedicatory
exercises began.
1t was few minutes past 10 o'clock
when the parade started. A platoon of
police led, followed by military band.
Then came yioe-President Stevenson
and party in carriages. In the succeed
ing carriages were Lieutenant-General
Schofield, Secretary of the Interior Smith
Postmas .er-General Wilson, Secretary of
the Navy Herbert and Acknowledgement
Harmon, United States Senators. Con-
gressmen, Governors and staffs, Park
Commissioners, Tennessee Legislators,
the Citizens Committee and invited
guests.
Another platoon Of police came next,
and then the United States troops, the

al Guard. Capital City Guard. of Georgia.
and the Chattanooga School Battalion.
The formal exercises of the day were
held in the big Barnum tent, near the
Government building, and were presided
over by Vice-President Stevenson.
After music by the band, the Rev. Dr.
prayer. The first address was by George
w. Ochs, Mayor of Chattanooga. When
the applause following Mayor Ochs'
speech had ceased, Senator Bates, Of Ten
nessee. delivered an eloquent grafton. He
was heartily applauded. Next came mu-
sic by the band. The meeting then ad-
journed.
When Gen. Grosvenor had finished.
Governors Morton, Of New York; Wood
and Turney, Of Tennessee, each made
short talks. Gov. Turney caused some
thing Of sensation in his speech. It
came about In this way:
Gov. Woodbury. said that during the
war each side believed it was right, but
that now the Southern people would
have to teach their children the South
was wrong.
Governor Turney took exception to
this in his speech.
Il believed l was right during the four
years and nineteen days 1 served in
the Confederate army" he said, and
at the end of that time thought was
right. I still think I was right, and
shall teach my children so. No one
is more loyal to the Stars and Stripes
than 1, and no one is more loyal to the
government, but I never can be con-
WINGED that the South was wrong"
This rather frank expression caused
a great stir in the audience and when
the meeting adjourned, was the topic
Of general conversation on all sides.
