FELL THIRTY
SIX FEET !
Yet Patrick Mcclure Escaped With
Comparatively slight Injury.
DROPPED FROM A THIRD STORY
The Accident Occurred in the Swain Build
ing--McGuire Was Descending on
Rope--The Man Holding it Let
Go when His Foot
Slipped.

Patrick Mcclure, a young man of West
Coal street, who was employed as.ohe of the
wOrkmen on A. II. Swalm's building, in
course of construction on North Main street,
suffered q fall at the building yesterday after
his escape from very serious injury is con-
sidered almost miraculous.
Mcclure and fellow workman named
William Neswenter were on the third story
when it became necessary for them to de-
scend to the first floor The former suggested
that they descend by rope that was sus-
pended in the space reserved for the elevator
shaft, but Neiswenter declined the PROPOSE
tion and said he would take a more safe
means Of descent. MCGUIRE then asked
Neiswenter TO hold the rope while he de-
scended and the latter agreed McGuire's
full weight had hardly become sus-
pended upon the rope when the plank
against which Neiswenter had his foot braced
slipped. To gave himself from slipping into
the shaft, Neiswenter released his hold on
the rope and Mcclure fell to the frst floor,
distance of thirty-six feet. Ho landed upon
his feet, and then toppled over. Several
men fastened to his assistance. expecting to
find him crippled, or dangerously injured
1t was learned, however, that the result was
not as serious as expected. Mcclure suffered
from shock and his lower limbs were bruised,
but there were no fractures The man was
removed to Dr. Burkes office, where he re-
ceved treatment after which he was re-
moved to his home, and is now confined to
his bed there. 1t is expected he will recover
from the effects of the fall in a few days
