The trouble was over a transaction OF

where he found the goods. de was not

On the contrary, Lacey alleges, he was
abused by Lowenstein.
1t was to complain Of the officer that
Lowenstcin called at headquarters today.
He was very angry, and before his coiloquy
with Inspector Hollinberger ended he had
called the officer sundry vile names, and
was characterized in terms that increased
his anger.
He was placed in arrest, but not before
making an angry protest, which was heard
from the basement to the top of the mu-

Inspector Hollinberger gave him the
alternative of dcpositing collateral or

Detective Lacy sayshe was approached
by Mr. Lowenstein on the pavement in

A PANIC IN THE ELEVATOR.
Wild Scene i'm the Car i'm the
Ohio Bank Building.
EIGHT LIVES WERE In PERIL
A Male Passenger stopped the Car
and a Rope Broke, Causing Ii to
Ascend-The Women on Board
Had Mysteries, Bnt a Lad in the
Basement Stopped the Flight.

There was a panic few minutes after
noon today in the elevator of the Ohio Bank
building. The ear, filled with eight per
sens, five of whom were ladies, two of the
gentlemen being E. E. Ranley and w. Yer
non Walsh, came near crashing into the
roof, and was only prevented by a lucky
chance
on the descent. when the elevator had
reached midway between the second and
third floors, the rope broke. Consequently
the elevator began rapidly to go up. The
ladies. observing il, began to realize their
danger, and feared that if the car went
to the roof it would drop again the whole
way to the bottom.
The elevator occupants screamed fran
ticany, one OF them went into Mysteries,
and the noise OF the excitement alarmed
everybody in Che building, so that the line
OF the elevator was soon crowded with
people from the offices and visitors at the
time.
Fortunately, Robert Clayton, the elevator
boy, was in the cellar at that moment, the
car being run by the engineer, who was,
of course, helpless in the car Clayton. how
ever, knew 10y the break what was wrong,
and promptly applied the lever, which
stopped the car. 1t was arrested near the
third floor, to which it Yas necessary to
lift the passengers out.
The ladies were pushed out to the floor,
where they were received by gentlemen
and relieved from a very dangerous and
exciting adventure
The car is an ordinary Graves elevator,
and is regularly inspected according to
the provisions OF law. Not long ago it
was pronounced in good condition. Ac-
cording to the statement of the engineer,
the cables which support the car are able
to carry a much larger load than was IN
the elevator at the time. The rope which
parted was the one which run inside
the car. and is kIown as the lever rope,
used to start and stop the lift 1t is
about three-eighths of an inch thick and
made of many strands of twisted wire,
the same as is used in the ordinary wire
cables.
The car is a comparatively small one
and eight persons crowd it quite closely,
consequently the elevator was descend
ing more swiftly than usual, when some
one remarked that it would be difficult
matter to come to a sudden stop. There
upon, according to the statement Of the
engineer who was in charge, man in
the car grasped the cable in an effort to
stop the car, even though the rate at which
it was descending was a perfectly safe
one In an instant the rope was heard to
snap, and simultaneously with the break
the car shot upward.
The name of the man who is said to have
been responsible for the breaking of the
rope could not be ascertained, neither could
the names of thes2sdies in the car.
