AN ENGINEER HURT.
CareIessness at the Dewey Hotel Re-
CULTS in an Accident.

SarefeSSneSS nt the Dewey Hotel Re-
suits in an Accident.
John Godfrey, an engineer, in charge of
the stationary engine at the Dewey Hotel,
now in course of erection on L street be
tween 18th and 14th streets northwest. was
struck on the head early this morning by
a block of wood, carelessly dropped from
the scaffolding at the fifth story Of the
building. Godfrey's head was pretty badly
cut, and the Emergency Hospital &mbu-
lance was sent for. When it arrived Cod
frey was sittil up, conscious, and declined
to go to the hospital The ambulance went
back without him, but was summoned
again in & few minutes, as Godfrey ha be-
come unconscious. He was then removed
to the hospital, where it was found he was
suffering from a slight concussion of the
brain. When a Star reporter went TO the
new building t. ascertain the facts of Coo
frey's injury he narrowly escaped being
struck by fragment of plank that had
been chopped off with a hatchet from a
part of the scaf*Olding at the top of the
construction. There is absolutely no pro-
lection for passers-by in front of the build
ing and the scaffolding is of the most
fiimsy construction. There is a constant
string of laborers going in and out of ;he
building, wheeling barrows of bricks and
mortar to the elevator inside, which is cp-
Grated by the stationary engine outside,
and they are in jeopardy all the time from
the carelessness of those at work above
and the lack of protective appliances.
Godfrey did rot recover CONSCIOUSNESS
after his removal to the hospital, and Il
was decided to perform an operation upon
him. This was done by DIR. W. z. Carr,
who trephined the mans skull, and while
no fracture was discovered, a clot of blood
was found on the brain. This was remoV-
Gition, he is not believed to be in danger of
losing his lite.

poor. They usually live in log or slab
houses-sometimes 'chinked' and some
times not; sometimes with floors and
sometimes without-eking out an exist

anything they have in tho way Of food
they will never give you anything that
they have brought to sell. They may give
