Yesterday afternoon about l o'clock prob

West Washington street, an architectural
iron worker employed by Haugh & Noelke,
the contractors erecting the new Claypool
building, fell from the top of the fourth
skeleton floor 10 the basement, a distance
of about seventy feet. He fell backward,
turning completely over several times be-
fore reaching the basement, where lac
struck on his head and shoulders on a large
File of gravel.
Instead of being dead. as those who saw
him supposed he would be. he was picked
up very much alive, and within a few mo-
ments said he was used TO such things,
having had five other falls. He also COM
planned OF having his hat mashed. He was
taken TO the Office of DIR. funk and then
removed to the City Hospital, where.

ankle and a flesh wound. probably made

planned that his fall was due 10 the giving
away of a board nailed ct one end. and
which he was using as a guide in placing

SHIRTWAISTS TO STAY
MEMBERS OF MERIDIAN CLUB
DECIDE TO WEAR THEM.
They viii Go Through the
Step Minus Their Coats.

The warm rays of the sun the last few
days and the thought that hot weather will
soon be here have brought back the ques-
ton of men wearing shirtwaists this sum-
mer. Haberdashers say shirtwaists will
not be universally worn, as they are not
quite the proper thing-that Is. real shirt
waists-but they are making a lot OF shirts
for men 10 wear with belts and not wear
coats.
The shirtwaist question was brought up
at the regular dance of the Meridian Club
at Poole's Hall, Thirtieth and Illinois
streets. Thursday night. The warm weather
on Thursday evening. together with the
several encores given by the orchestra TO
rag-time two-steps and whirling waltzes,
brought the young men to a realization that
they were really carrying extra weight.
They got together between some of the
dances and discussed the question of adopt
ing shirtwaists for the summer, as the
club holds dances every Thursday night.
a few argued that IL would not be quite
the proper thing. but the majority were In
favor of discarding their coats during the
summer weeks. The final conclusion was
reached just after q dizzy waltz had been
danced, when the president OF the club
ment that, beginning with next Thursday
evening, all the young men of the club who
desired TO wear shirtwaists at the dances
would be greeted with the warm hand OF
fellowship. 1t Is believed the rule will be
made imperative in a few weeks.

NOT ONTO THEIR CURVES
Lorraine STEEL COMPANY'S ENGI.
NEER MADE A MISTAKE.
Special Tracks for Street Car Conn
pany at Illinois and Washing
ton Streets Taken Up.

The chief engineer of the Lorraine Steel
Company. of Johnstown. Pa. will arrive IN
the city to-day to inspect the new curves
and special work constructed by that COM
pany for the indianapolis Street-railway
Company. to be laid at Illinois and Wash
ington streets. The local company con-
tracted for the special work, TO cost SIS, 5000,
and one of the engineers visited the city
and made the measurements for the
Lorraine Steel Company. In making these
measurements the space between the ap-
preaching tracks to the special work was
measured on Illinois street and, it is said,
the engineer failed to take the measure
ments on Washington street between the
tracks. He sent his measurements TO the
company and the special work was con-
structed.
A few days ago this work was put to-
gether on Kentucky avenue and the corner
was torn up for the new curves and cross
ings. The old tracks were removed, but
when the workmen started TO put the
new work i'm place it was noticed that a
mistake had been made and the curves
would not fit. 1t was necessary TO remove
the new work that had been put down
and replace the old curves. The company
was notified and the crossing will be re-
paired and used for regular traffic pend
ing the inspection.
IL was rumored yesterday that the Lo-
raine Company would lose $l5. 600 as a re-
suit of the mistake. but Vice President
Jones. of the street-railway company, said
the Lorraine ompan expects TO be able
to repair the new special work with but
small loss, and should a new set of special
work be required the company will be able
&c use the work in some other city. so that
IL will not lose heavily by the mistake in
measurements. In case a new set of special
work has TO be constructed the new curves
and crossings cannot be laid for forty or
fifty DAYS.

John T. Fogas. a druggist at 1880 South

watch. a number of pocket pieces and about
81 in money by two young men, one a
rather tall man. wearing a SLOUGH hat, a
brown coat, dark trousers ard overcoat,
ard with a weeks growth OF beard on his
face. The other man the druggist could
not describe, as he saw but little of him
and was so frightened even an hour later
that he still trembled and was even unable
&c talk plainly.
He was at the time alone I'm the store.
He lives in the house in the rear and had
Just prepared 10 close his place. The two
men entered. the one with the SLOUGH hat
and brown coat in the lead. lie asked.

The prescription room is partitioned off
with a large curtain. lie stepped behind
the curtain TO get the capsules and had no
more than reached the case when the man
who had asked for the q~uinine appeared at

quickly, and the fellow said: Throw them
up. and be D. quick about it," lie then
grabbed the watch and chain worn by FO-
gas. thrust them into his side coat pocket.
and while going through Fogas's pockets
for money said he was from the West and
would Just as soon shoot him full of holes
as not. Fogas had no money on his person.
and the only things taken from his pockets
besides his watch were a few pocket pieces,
which Fogas called pocket junk
While he was being searched Fogas heard
the other man opening drawers IN the front
of the store. The regular cash drawer.
under the showcase. he thought, was the
first one opened. From this was taken
about s.. Then he heard a Number OF other
drawers opened and closed. Back against
the wall are shelves. and below them are
small drawers, most OF which are filled with
powders and seeds. Three OF them. how
ever. are used for keeping separate from
the sales money that Is received from the
sale OF soda water. stamps and express or
ders. After the men had backed 10 the
door. keeping Fogas covered with the re-
vOlver, IL was found that the money had
been taken from both the stamp and soda
water drawers. but that a small amount la
the drawer used for the express money had
not been touched.
The men showed considerable familiarity
with the place and the habits of the pro-
prietoF, knowing III what time he usually
