VAN BIIREN IS A
VERY LUCKY MAN
HE HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH.
He Is the Janitor in the Board Of
Trade Building and Was Engaged
in Repairing an Elevator Door
When the Carriage Descended
and Hit Him on the Head-He
Sustained a Severe Cash in the
Head But Was Knocked Out of
Harms Way.

Fred Van Buren,, janltor of the board
of trade building, had a narrow. escape
from a horrible death yesterday. He
was leaning through one of the eleva-
tor shaft doorways on the fourth floor
and was hit on the head and knocked
senseless by one of the carriages. 1t
was only by good luck that he missed
falling into the shaft.
Both of the carriages were in use
at the time and this fact was not
known to Mr.. Van Buren,, who was
engaged in repairing the screen on the
door opening into the shaft nearest the
street, The carriage which hit him
was loaded with six passengers and
noiselessly descended at full speed
from above him. He was leaning into
the shaft, but was not far out, and
his feet were quite a distance into the
corridor, the better to lower his body
into proper position for doing his
work.
To his peculiar attitude and the
smooth mosaic floor of the corridor
Van Buren, probably owes his life, for
when the bottom of the carriage hit
his head it knocked his feet from un-
der him and hurled him against the
corridor wall. There he lay, limp and
apparently lifeless.
The carriage was stopped and Van
Buren, was carried into the office of
DR.. Reed Burns, where his injuries
were dressed. In some unaccountable
way he escaped without any serious
hurt The top of his head was pain
fully bruised, but was not cut. There
was a cash in his face beneath the
left eye, where he had struck against
the latch OF the shaft door.
Van Buren, later a; peared about the
building, but was finally obliged to go
to his home, 30S Kressler court. Those
acquainted with the details Of the ac-
cident were unable to understand how
he missed plunging headlong four stor-
les to the foot of the shaft, or es-
capped being crushed beneath the floor
of the carriage and the door sill.

sLEIGHING is GOOD"
So Reported Constable Henry Bur-
schell of the Fifteenth Ward.

"Sleighing is good" was the exciting
report presented to court yesterday by
Constable Henry Burschell of the
Fifteenth ward. 1t was the quarter
ly return day OF the oonstables and
Mr.. Burschell was anxious to report
something.
No liquor is sold in the Fifteenth
ward, unlawfully or without a license,
neither are children born out of we'd
lock, so Mr.. Burschell could not re-
port on these specifications of the re-
turn sheets. There is line requiring
a report on the condition of streets
and bridges and this was Henry's op-
portunity.
'Sleighing is good represents con-
dition of streets, and the worthy con-
stable decided to report that fact to
the court to the end that it might know
officially that in the distribution of his
New Years favor the weather man
was as kind to the Fifteenth ward as
to other parts of the city.
Constable Matthew Bean, of Old
Forge, reported that Mary Snyder is
engaged in the Illegal sale of liquor
there, and the matter was referred to
the district attorney for consideration.
All of the other constables reported
a scrupulous observance of the law
and a dead level of respectability in
their bailiwicks.

I'm tired of notifying people to clean
their sidewalks said street Commits
sloner O'Boyle yesterday. And that
comment applies to business men in
particular" he continued. "They ought
to know the law as well as 1 do, and,
if they don't know the law, 1 don't see
why personal pride or common sense
don't prompt them to try and make
walking possible"
Mr.. O'Boyle's manner indicated that
he was somewhat angry-and not with
out reason. The last snow fell on Sun
day, yet many of the sidewalks in the
business district were permitted to re-
main uncleaned during the two sue
ceeding days, and yesterday 1t was
necessary to send the police patrolmen
from door to door notifying alert busi-
ness men and others to remove the ice
and snow from in front of their prop
critics.
I'VE ought to have a town-crier,"
said Mr.. O'Boyle as u final comment,
which revealed his disturbed state Of
mind. During his conversation with a
Tribune reporter, the street commits
sioner said he found himself forced to
have recourse to the law, the same as
were his predecessors in office. and that
he would today have warrants issued
for all occupants of properties whose
uncleaned sidewalks were reported by
the police at 10 o'clock this morning.
Tribune readers may profit by the
further information that the ordinance
in relation to sidewalk cleaning pro-
vides that cutters also shall be kept
clear of snow and ice. This is required
in order that water and such may be
permitted to flow into the sewers after
a thaw.

PERMITTED TO WITHDRAW.
Attorneys Had Not Heard from NC
Andrew in a Long Time.

When the equity suit of Thomas Jen-
nings and others against Joseph f.
McAndrews and others was called be-
fore Judge Gunster yesterday, Attor-
neys Vosburg and Dawson and L. p.
Wedeman, who represented Mean
drews, asked for permission to with
draw the case.
The action was brought for the pur-
pose of reforming a deed which it was
alleged did not specify as much land
as was bargained to be sold.
In asking permission to withdraw
the attorneys stated that they had the
case continued at the last term be-
cause they could not get any trace of
their client. They have not heard from
him since and, not knowing his wishes
in the case, had no desire to proceed
further with It.
Judge Gunster allowed them to with
draw.
