PRINTERS LOSE A FRIEND.
Death of James j. Daley of the PhiIa-
deEphin Ledger.


A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says: The printers craft throughout the
country sustained a serious loss today in
the death at his home in this city of James
j. Daley, foreman of the composing room
of the Public Ledger and for thirty-two
years in the employ of that journal. Mr..
Daley was 1ifty-nine years of age. He was
formerly president of Typographical Union,
No 2, and represented that union many
times as delegate to the conventions of
the International Typographical Union.
In 1885 MI Daley presented to the Inter-
national Union, in session at Pittsburg, on
behalf of MIR. ChiidS and his friend, a. j.
Drexel. the princely gift Of $4,000 as the
nucleus of fund to establish home for
aged and destitute printers. This gift re-
suited in the foundation by the lnternation-
al Union of the ChiIds- Drexel fund, which
subsequently was increased by the contri-
buttons of the craft until it became posi-
bic, about ten years ago to erect and main
tain the splendid and benefcent institution
at Colorado Springs. Mr. Daley was elect
ed the treasurer of the board of trustees
of the home and held the position up to the
time of his death. He leaves a wife and
three sons.
When the late Jno w. Forney started
the Was hington Chronicle here he brought
Mr. Daley with him, and the after work
ed here several years, making many friends
in this city.

SAILORS FATAL FALL
Death of Julian Baker, Employe Of
Navy Yard.
WELL KNOWN UNPOPULAR WORKMAN
Chain Gives Way While He Was
OlIing the Rigging.
THE CORONER NOTIFIED

Julian Baker, who lived at No 211 9th
street southeast, and was employed in the
navy yard, fell from the gallery in the gun
shop this morning and was killed. The
unfortunate man was well known to the
officials and employees, and was highly re-
spected. The fatal accident closed his ser
vice of about twenty-five years in the
yard.
Mr.. Baker was an old and experienced
man. and had been regarded as one of the
best sailors employed in the yard For
this reason he was assigned to work that
necessitated his going far above the
ground floor of the building in which he
was employed This morning he went to
work usual in the north Sunsnop, and
shortly before 9 O'Clock proceeded to the
gallery to oil the rigging He was stand
ing on a chain attending to his duties,
" hen suddenly the chain gave way and let
him drop. He fell a distance of about
thirty feet to the floor. and in falling his
head came in contact with a piece of ma
chinery. The result was that his skull was
fractured.
Witnessed by Fellow Workmen.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
by the accident, which was witnessed by a
number of Bakers fellow employees No
time lost by his friends in reaching
him to render assistance. Though fearing
he had been killed, the men hoped his life
would be spared. When they reached him
and saw the condition of his head, hope of
saving him was abandoned. Death resulted
in few seconds.
Several of the workmen went in search
of physicians. but when a doctor reached
the gun shop the victim had been dead
several minutes.
The deceased leaves a widow and several
children. He a sailor during the civil
war. having served on number Of vessels.
At the expiration Of his last term of enlist
ment he was given a position as ordnance
man in the navy yard. This position. as
already stated he filled for about twenty
five years.
The body of the dead man was removed
to the late home of the deceased several
hours after the occurrence. Coroner Carr
notified. and it is probable that GER
tificate of accidental death will be given.
