Joseph Morton is a painter by trade,
For thirteen years he has gone about
the country, being a journeyman, and
never so much as fell Off soap box"
as he expressed II last evening to an
Intelligencer reporter
Yet Mr., Morton took tumble last
evening and rubbed elbows with the
grim reaper In most uncomfortabiy
close quarters, so close In fact that 1t Is
indeed miraculous that he escaped in.
slant death. More wonderful to relate,
he got off with only minor injuries.
Morton boards at Mrs. Meredlth's
boarding house, 1858 Market street, over
Kincheloe's produce store. Last even
ing about 1880 O'Clock he was sitting in
the window of his room, on the third
floor, fonting on Market street, The
drowsIness that follows a hearty meal
overlook him and he was soon In the
arms OF Morpheus, A window Is not a
very comfortable, certainly not safe
place, for slumber, a fact that the
young man was made thoroughly ac-
qualnted with when he swayd over the
center Of gravity in the direction of the
street and tumbled out for what looked
to be sheer fall of thirty feet to in
slant death,
Fortunately his fall was somewhat
broken by striking the windows of the
room below his feet Mt the time break
ing the glass; and more fortunately the
iron awning frame Just below caught
him, SO that when he tumbled to the
street the fall was not near so violent.
But It was In the last stage Of his de-
scent that Mort6n's best piece OF good
luck came. Two young men, Bernie
Kraus and d. Riechbaum, were stand
ing on the pavement, and before the
crash of breaking lass and dislodged
awning frame could move them to n
sense OF danger, the falling man struck
them and fell In heap at their feet.
The injured man was now thoroughly
awakened and called Justify for help.
Boarders came to his assistance, but he
was able to walk to his room and re-
manned conscious while physician
made an examination. 1t was found
that the little finger of his right hand
had been crushed and there were sew
eral bruises Of little consequence on
his head, but so far as could be ascer-
talned last night there were no Internal
injuries.
While his wounds were being dressed
Morton joked with his physician and
friends, and seemed amused that after
thirteen years of perifous work on the
painters scaffold he should come TO his
undolng In such manner.
