His Invention Killed Him.

New York, June 13.-Hermano
Moritz, Brooklyn inventor, 62
years old, has been killed at Coney is
land by a device on the invention OF
which he had spent more than
quarter Of a century and all his saw
ings. Moritz's invention was AM
aerial tobopgan slide. Permission
had just been granted to operate it,
all the laws of the department being
complied with. The first car was'
empty and W lat without any trou-
bic. Other cars with persons in them
were sent over. The device seemed
to be working to perfection and as
the ears went down the steep slide
Moritz stood and looked on, his face
beaming with pleasure. The dream
of the last twenty-five years Of his
life was realized, and he beamed with
delight as his friends a1ighted from
the ears and pronounced the con-
struction a success and certain to
make him fortune.
Inspector Rittenhouse and Charles
Otis, friend of the inventor, rode in
the last car to be tested Moritz
stood at the foot of the incline The
car had nearly reached the top, a dis
lance of about 1Ofeet. There was
cracking sound, shout and Ritten-
house and Otis shot backward.
Their car had failed TO hold the steel
dog until the top of the incline was
reached. 1t came down with great
velocity straight for the place where
Moritz was standing. The car was
almost upon him when he turned to
get out Of the way. 1t was too late.
The heavy vehicle struck him in the
back, knocking him through wire
netting and out into the Bowery
walk. He died two hours later. Rit-
tenhouse and Otis were thrown from
their seats, but were uninjured.
