FATAL ACCIDENT At HI WALDORF.
Two Painters ut Work in tho SHAFT Crushed
by an Elevator-One KILLED,

by an Elevator-One KILLED.
An elevator accident in the Hotel Waldorf
yesterday morning resulted in the instant death
Of ono man and the serious injury Of another.
Three painters, Thomas Gerlach, Edward Kelly,
and James Doyle, were engaged in painting the
walls Of the shaft of the north elevator on the
Thirty-third street side of the building. Kelly
was standing on a board stretched across tho
shaft at tho ninth floor. just below him was
tho elevator. Doyle was in the car.
and Gerlach was standing on its roof.
All these were working. Martin Geary.
tho elevator boy, moved tho car up and down
according to the painters directions. Just be-
fore y o'clock he started the elevator upward.
He says that he thought he had received u Gig
nal TO do so. Gerlach shouted. What are you
trying to dol" Geary caught the guide ropes,
and, II is supposed. pulled on the. wrong one,
Tho elevator shot up and struck tho board on
which kolly was standing. Kelly stepped be-
tween the car and the shaft wall, and. erasping
the wire netting of the car, held on for dear life.
As the elevator got near the top Of the shaft,
just above tho tenth floor, Gerlach braced him
self against the sheaves of the pulley wheels.
The car went up with great force, and Gerlach
was crushed between tho sheaves and the cage.
All his ribs on the loft side were broken. and one
penetrated his heart and lungs, causing instant
death. Kelly, who had chung to the wire net
ting, was dragged against the wall until the
elevator stopped. The flesh was torn of both
logs, and he tainted from the pain.

Indictments for Grand Larceny Against the
Firm Dismissed Yesterday.

Judge Fitzgerald. in General Sessions yester-
day. upon tho application of Assistant District
Attorney Osborne, dismissed the indictments for
grand larceny found in May. 1896. by the Grand
Jury against Franz and Henry Seelig and
William Matzner. They started business in a
small store in Greenwich street under the firm
name Of b. Blank & Co, and sent out orders for
goods on credit to various firms, disposing Of
the goods without making any payment to the
owners. Tho indictments were procured on tho
complaints OF the Bridgoton Canning Company
OF New Jersey and the Ossippee Valley Canning
Company of Michigan, from whom tho defend;
ants obtained large orders OF canned goods, and
OF the Morales Cigar Company. which filled an
order for 5000 cigars under the impression that
1t came from Bcrihold Blank. a merchant of

said that most of the goods had been recovered
by the complainants, who were now unwilling
