CRUSHED By FALLING WALL.
Coal Dealer Gartside Ignored Warn.
ings and Was Killed.

Chester. Pa, April "a stone wall
twenty feet high, at the old Gartside Mill.
at Fourth and Penn streets, fell with "a
tremendous crash yesterday afternoon, and
buried in the ruins Joseph Gartside. A
40C-pound block crushed MFR. Gartside' s
face into an unrecogniZable mass, and the
smaller stones broke nearly every bone in
his body.
Mr. Gartside, it seems, was using q
crowbar on this wall of the mill, W which
had been partly destroyed by fire in
1895, to get out the stones for building
purposes, and had been warned that the
wall was in danger OF falling. Just be-
fore the accident his four-year-old son,
Charlie, was seated in wagon close to
the wall, and the father ordered the team
taken to a safe distance, but disregarded
the warning himself.
George W West, an engineer at the
mill, saw the wall tremble and shouted
to Mr.. Gartside. The latter started TO
run, but he had not taken many steps when
he was crushed to the ground.
