Kirby s. Nichols was killed yesterday by tho
elevator he ran in the Washington building. 1
broadway. Nichols dropped his glove about IL
A. NJ. down the elevator shaft. He told Starter
Keith that he was going down to the base of the
shaft to recover it. About five minutes later
the starter saw Nichos's elevator start up with
nobody in it.
He knew at once that something wrong, and
hurried to the basement where he found Mich
OILS in a dying condition. There is only narrow
space between the bottom of the elevator and
the bottom OF the SHAFT, and it Is supposed that
while Nichols was trying to recover his glove
he accidentally started he ma hine downward.
and was crushed to death by its weight. The
elevator then started upward, and went as far
the fifth floor.
Nichols was taken from the bottom of the
shaft and physician summoned. He died in
few minutes. There were no external injuries
on the dead man; and it is supposed that he was
crushed internally.
Coroners' Physician O'Hanlon will make an
autopsy on the body to-day. Nichols, who was

Railreaa Commissioners EHan,inlnE the Fouu-

GARRrsoS's. Nov. s.-Tho State Railroad Com
mlss!oners aro still at work Mt tho scene Of tho
recent wreck on tho Central.Hudson Railroad,
making soundings and sinking pipe to deter
mine on what sort OF foundation that part of tho
roadbed which slipped into the river on tho
morning Of Oct. IL was built. They came hero
on Saturday morning at about 10 o'clock and
immediately began the investigation. They are
accompanied by surveyors and photographers.
Their invest cations will last several days yet.
They are working about twenty-five feet away
from tho sea wall and are trying to find out
whnt sort of bottom there is at that point. Tho
work is progressing slowly. The work will be
done in tho most thorough manner. and every
method OF the engineering art will be used to
determine where the fault lies.
The theory that the cmbankment was blown
out by dynamite has been abandoned, although
tho railroad company found some ground for
suspicion that such was the case, and the con-
clusion flrst advanced that tho cause of tho
disaster was a "washout caused by unusually
hiph tides and the deep water in which tho en-
bnnkment was built has been generally ac-
CeptOd. The purpose OF the Investigation by tho
Railroad Commissioners is, therefore. TO asccr-
tain to what degree the railroad company was
responsible for the "wnshout," but mainly to
formulate recommendations for the guidance of
the company in rebuilding that section of its
road.
