Yesterday morning just at eleven
| o'clock there was a serious and de-
pIorable accident at the Held building.
now almost completed, at No. 1905
| Market street. which resulted in the
death OF Jacob Ruff, well known ia
borer. and the serious wounding OF
John Heller, Oldest son of Lawrence
Heller, of Fulton.
The injured men were removed to
the City Hospital in the ambulance
within few minutes after the mishap,
and there Mr.. Ruff died at half-past
eleven. At last reports Mr.. Heller was
resting fairly we'll, having partially
recovered from the shock. He has one
rib broken, bad cut on the front OF
his head, and Is generally shaken up.
The story Of the accident runs in this
wise:
When the building. three stories
high, was originally planned 1t had
stairway located in the first and second
floors to reach the various stories, and
a hand-power elevator in the rear OF
the first floor, on the south side, for
freight. Later 1t was decided to re-
move the stairway and substitute
hydraulic elevator for both freight and
passengers, as an improved means OF
communication between the floors.
Messrs. Miller & Stein, of Main street,
had the contract for the change, and
Messrs. Ruff and Heller were employed
by them At the hour named, while
the two men were upon the original
hand-power platform, at the level of
the third story, engaged in handling
a heavy drum. carrying a coll of wire
rope and with large toothed wheel
on one end, the ropes attached to this
piece of machinery broke and it fell to
the platform on which the men were
standing. That tipped up, and men
and machinery fell to the cellar, a dis
lance of thirty-eight feet, the drum
breaking a ladder in the elevator shaft
Heller struck his head against the floor
edge in the first story ere he descend
ed to the cellar.
The crash OF the fall Immediately
attracted attention. and Louis Hartong,
Jr., who was in the cellar, ran to
where the men were lying and found
Mr. Ruff pinned down py the wheel of
the drum. He rolled the machinery off
the Unconscious man, and assistance
being Immediately at hand, both men
were removed while call was sent in
for the ambulance. 1t quickly arrived,
and the wounded men were sent to the
hospital, with the result stated. Drs.
Schwinn and Plant being called.
Both of the victims were married,
and both were very we'll known. The
accident, occurring as it did on
prominent street, attracted a large
number of people and necessarily
created a good deal of excitement.
Coroner Schultze held an inquest and
rendered verdict Of accidental death.
DR.. Garrison was the only eye witness
to the sad casualty. He stated that he
went up to the third floor Of the build
ing to see Henry Stein and found him
with two other men working on the ell
evator. He spoke to him and that mo-
ment Mr.. Stein said: Boys, now be
careful" Just then something gave
way and the two men and the drum
fell together down the shaft. DR.. Gar
rison went down stairs and found one
of the men, Mr.. Heller lying on the
ground, in an unconscious condition.

In blaze OF glory did the eleventh
annual session of the Epworth Park
Assembly close Wednesday night. And
it was a fitting ending for season Of
resi- and intellectual enjoymeH. which,
daring the past two weeks, has been
participated IN by hundreds of people
residents OF this section, and others
from cities and towns far distant-each
and all finding il equally delightful and
beneficial
wednesday being Grand Army Day,
the cottages within the Park enclosure
as we'll as many of the houses in the
village were made gay by liberal dis
fributlon Of fags and the national col
ors. Especially pretty were the decor
ations inside the grounds. From cot
tage virandas and porches quantities
OF bunting dropped airily, and hundseds
of flags in various sizes waved happy
greeting TO the old soldier and his
friends.
The auditorium stage and the audi
ence hall were. also profuseiy hung with
the chosen decorations OF the day, and
admired by the visitors, to whom it was
glad surprise.
Very early in the morning it became
evident that the closing day of the
Assembly was to be the banner day.
measured by the attendance. Even in
the forenoon the grounds were comfort
ably filled, while in the afternoon and
evening the crowd spread like vast
wave over the entire Park space.
The early part of the day was given
to the class work and devotional serv-
ice with which each session opens, and
at 1890 Rev. T. Hte Armstrong deliv-
cred the daily sermon.
At LOOT the afternoon programme
was introduced by Prof. Fred High, the
young impersonator and ventriloquist,
who was heard TO so good an advantage
Tuesday. Prof High was certainly
in an entertaining mood, since his jests
and mimicry carried with them the con-
tagon OF laughter and called out loud
applause.
At o'clock Senator Foraker was wit
tily introduced by Hon. D. D. Taylor, of
1IlS.ueInSsy, rTimea- and coming to the
front of the platform was given the
Chsutauqua salute by his prospective
hearers, and until o'clock was listened
to most attentively by the old soldiers
in the reserved seats in front Of the
stage, as well as by the persons packed
go closely into the seats in the rear.
Senator Foraker asked his hearers to
go back, in fancy just forty years, and
with him review the war times, of
which they all dream and in which in
terest never dies. His address was fire.
Quently interrupted by applause, and
was a well-given history of those thrill
ing times and scenes.
Shortly after O'Clock the auditorium
was again filled to the eptire seating ca
pacity by an audience determined to get
the full benefit of the closing lecture of
DIR. Beauchamp, as we'll as a last sight
Of Prof. High
BY O'Clock the aisles and the open
spacs inside the auditorium enclosure
was completely packed, and standing
room was at a premium.
Prof. High delighted all when he APP
lpeared by his entertaining anecdotes
and his clever mimicry. Especially en-
joyable was his redition of Watching
the Sparks" His limitations were like
wise well received.
When later DR.. Beauchamp came be-
fore this eoncourse of people he found
them all in a merry mood and quite

ready to appreciate his eloquent address
entitled, 1.-THE Sunny Side Of Life
Prof. Beauchampi saecture was mas
terpiece of cIear-cut oratory and Of
sparkling wit. It refreshed and 1t
strengthened. Into three, heads did he
divide his theme. One part for old and
young, another for husband and wife,
and the third for young men and maid
ems. Each division was a gem in Itself.
and the collection a galaxy Of brilliant
thoughts and illustrations. To the ell
derby persons, and young as well, he
recommended the cultivation OF the fac
uity of seeing life's Sunshine and maxi
ing brightness and gadness around
them. The husband and wife were adj
jured not to forget the attentions and
courtesles OF their days of love making,
and the happiness found in being sweet
hearts ever was shown TO be the royal
road to domestic sunshine. Under the
third head came the brief talk TO young
men and women, and was. OF course, OF
love. Love" the speaker said, rs
the only good thing in the world not
controlled by trust" anu he urged the
young people not to deny its use. The
young man was advised not to delay
establishing his own home, but to see
to it that ere he asks the girl he loves
to share 1t he be certain he can give
one clean hand for another, one pure
heart for another and one spotless soul
for another. At the close OF this lee
trre the audience sang the doxology
and received the benedietion, and this
years Epworth Assembly ended.
Prof. Beauchamp defined love as a
condition in which a man can neither
sleep, eat, drink, stand. sit, lie, walk or
crawl is not sick, and yet not well;
wants to die. and don't want, either.
Bad, isn't IL?
The afternoon entertainment of yes
terday was happily preluded by band
concert, at which patriotic airs most
appropriate TO the day were discoursed
with a finish and expression which
called forth further eneonums upon
the heads of this organizotion.

most delightful session ever held here.

steamer Farallon yesterday from Jul
neau. Mr.. Snyder was on the lost ISL
ander, and was IN the water three
hours, c!inging to raft. He was final
ly picked up unconscious. He left the
boat about half a minute after the
captain jumped overheard and they
both held on to the same raft for fully
half an hour, and in conversation the
captain saiG he could not understand
why the boat went down so quickly.
The captain finally said: Boys, can
not stand it any longer" and, casting
his life preserver away, at once sank.
At the inquest held at Juneau, which
Mr.. Snyder attended, evidence devel-
oped which may tend to excuse the
captain for not beaching the steamer at
once. There was a stowaway In the

down and open the compartment,
which allowed the sea to come rolling
into the hold, carrying the body Of the
stowaway and a sailor with 1t. This
was done without the captains knowl-

thinking the vessel would float several
hours. or until he could reach safe
