SECOND SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Old Exchange Hotel Site Seems to Be

It Is Claimed, Suspected That
Some Danger Z threatened the
Men ut Work - He Was

Tyeaty-three men had miraculous es-
capes from instant death yesterday af-
teraoou. when the second serious accident,
incident to the tearing down Of the historic
old Exchange Hotel, which has stood at
the southeast corner Of Fourteenth and
Franklin Streets for the past half cen

ing.
The injured:
Aaron Davenport, back sprained.
Charles Cane. breast badly bruised and
injured internally.
John Bullock, right leg bruised.
All the injured are colored men.
The most relna rkable part Of the casual
ty is that 10 one was killed, and not one
of the tWenty-four men on the scaffold, at
the time it fell, had q bone broken.
FEARED THE DANGER.
The accident was not unexpected to the
foreman of the men who were at work on
the scaffolding, as he heard one of the
timbers crack, and rushed from under
the structure to where his employees were
engaged in the erection of the new build
ing, being erected by Cohn, Son & Co., for
use by them as a clothing factory. Just
as the foreman stepped upon the scaffold
it is said that he cried: "Boys, there's
something wrong here, and something ter
rble is going to happen Just as he ut
tered these words the frame structure,
which was at the third floor of the build
ing, went down with an awful crash and
twenty-four human lives.
The three men above mentioned were
hurt as described. and the foreman, a
white man, received slight confusion
over one of his eyes.
AS soon as the accident happened the
city ambulance was summoned, and DR..
w. Armistead Gills attended the injured
dressing their wounds and making ar
rangements for them to be sent to their
homes.
Only few weeks ago a white man was
killed by the falling of a wall of the old
Exchange Hotel.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-An enthusins-
tic plea for wide expansion of rural free
delivery is made in the annual report of
W. NJ. Johnson, first assistant postmaster
general. He says that the extraordinary
development OF this system during the
pnst twelve months under the stimulus of
appropriations of $4,000 for the fiscal year
1SS9-13OO, and s1,750,C00 for the fiscal year
15O0-1SO1 is conclusive as showing that
hereafter it must be a. permanent and ex-
panding feature of the postal administra-
ton.
Tha service can now be extended as
swiftly as Congress may direct or as the
means permit, until it covers all portions
of the United States.
This change, Mr.. Johnson believes. can
