Thoughts While Falling.

Few men have had such a terrible
fall as Seth Harrington and lived to
tell of it. He gives remarkable ac-
count of his descent through ninety
FIVE feet of space. Harrington is one
of the men who fell with the 1l0-foot
smokesta,k at Jones & Laughlin' 5
mill Saturday evening. Frank Woo
lem, of Four-Mile Run, and Frank
Grady, Of South Twenty-seventh
street, were the other riggers at work
when the accident occurred, but both
escaped serious injury. They were
both half way down the stack when it
fell. Harrington was working on the
inside Of the stack, putting in the
rim. He was compelled to come out
over the top and go down the outside.
He had gone down the steps or iron
handles about fifteen feet, when the
stack and scaffolding succumbed to
the gale. Harrington struck on the
roof of the boiler house, crushed
it, and was held fast on the steam
dome. His escape from instant death
is little less than miraculous.
The injured man S story Of his expe-
rience during the few seconds he was
flying to what seemed certain death is
interesting, and gives information on
how people feel when all support has
been Withdrawn from them at any
great height.
"You see, when people who are not
used to high places fall, they become
nearly dead from fright before they
are half way to "a stopping place." said
Harrington last evening at the South:

that drowning man will in the last
five seconds of consciousness think o.
all the wrongs he has ever committed
in his life, think of all Of his friends
ask to be forgiven by God and man,
and many other things, but it seems
almost impossible for 1000 minds tc
think of half as much in ten minutes
as I did in the two and half seconds
that I thought were my last. It seem
ed like two minutes and half to me
and I thought never was going to
alight. /,
TT would take me day to tell al
that I thought of. Why, I recalled
nearly every event Of my life, many Of
them having never before entered my
mind since they occurred. Not only
that, but pictures Of events after my
supposed coming death flashed through
my mind. My first thoug ght was OF my
family and friends. [ don't think

Even the news of my death passing
from one friend to another and how
supposed they would take it came tt
me. No; I would not 60 through il
again for Jones & Laughlin's whole

Harrington admitted, however, that
between the thoughts of friends, etc.
he was wondering if he was going te
