A SINGULAR DEATH.
Patrick Foley Killed by the Fall of a
Joist.

A fatal accident, resulting in the death
of Patrick Foley, took place at the new
Young Mem Christian Association build
ing, corner of High and Free streets
yesterday morning. One of the heavy
stones belonging to the underpinning of
the building, was being put in place,
Contractor Cunningham experimenting
the job. Suddenly the stone began to cant
towards the cellar and once started nothing
could stop 1t from falling. When the
stone went down it crashed on to a
staging and carried a mass of planks and
joists into the cellar ten feet below. Mr..
Cunningham and several of his men went
down with the stone and were mixed up
with the debris, but strange to say they
all escaped unhurt, except few slight
bruises.
Patrick Foley was standing over fifteen
feet away at the bottom of the cellar and
it would seem as if he was beyond danger.
But tall joist, about three by four
inches, which stood over by the immense
stone fell. AS 1t fell, the end hit Mr..
Foley on the head crushed in his skull
and killed him instantly. He fell in his
tracks and never moved. after he was
struck. Strange to say the skin on his
head was noe broken but the force Of the
blow was SO great as to force some of the
gray brain matter out of his mouth. Drs
Alden and Cousins were Immediately on
hand, but the man was dead.
Undertaken Tobin was summoned and
Coroner Perry was called, but no inquest
was necessary, there being no doubt that
the occurrence was purely an accident.
Patrick Foley was man thirty eight
years of age and he worked for Mr.. Gun
ningham for some time. He lived on
Newbury street and had wife.

A DOG CASE.
MIR. VIM. P, Goss Arrested Charged Will
Failure to Pay Dog Tax.

William P. Goss of Deering, formerly
the we'll known shoe dealer, now of the
firm Of Goss & Wilson, was lodged in
Portland jail yesterday morning on the
ground that he had kept a dog without
paying the city tax on it. Mr.. Goss tells
the story substantially as follows: He
had dog for quite number of years,
which belonged to his son. Last March
his son became twenty-one years of age
and he still claimed the dog. The dog
had become a nuisance and it was decided
that the family could no longer keep him.
Young Goss tried to give the dog away,
but not succeeding got a man to shoot
the animal several weeks ago.
Recently the tax collector came to his
house and demanded from his wife pay
ment of the dog tax. She explained that
the dog had been dead for some weeks but
they answered that he was alive April LIST
and that the tax must be paid. She re-
ferred them to her husband.
Some days after that Mr.. Goss was
warned that he was to be arrested. He
gave the matter no serious thought until
City Marshal Clark summoned him to ap-
pear before Judge Hopkins. He went to
court and explained to the judge that his
son owned the dog. The judge reserved
his decision, but later announced that he
found Mr.. Goss guilty of non payment of
the tax, because he had fed the dog He
fined Mr.. Goss $40 and costs. Yesterday
morning the CITY marshal anneared aft hic
house, and when he declined to pay the
fine, arrested Mr.. Goss and landed him
in Portland JAIL Mr.. Goss remained
there about two hours, when his friends
paid the fine and got him released Mr..
Goss will of course reimburse his friends
for the money spent in his behalf. Mr.
Goss is consulting counsel with view to
beginning proceedings against City
Marshal Clark for false arrest
