AN ELEVATOR FALLS.
Two Killed and Several Badly Hurt at
Lynn, Mass, Friday.

Lynn Mass Oct. 3-Two were killed
and half a dozen more or less injured,
and five more shaken up by the fall of
a passenger elevator and accompanying
fall upon the cage of the 600-pOund ele-
vator weight at the shoe factory of A.
f. Little & Co., 20 Blake street, at 1902
this morning. The heavy weight
crashed through the iron framed top
of the elevator and crushed in the
skull of Miss Frances Herlihy. assist
ant forewoman of the stitching room.
She was not instantly killed but died
within a very short time. not regaining
consciousness.
The injured: Miss Fannie Moore, cut
on scalp; Miss Mabel Buckley, bruised;
Miss Henrietta Howard, bruised and
shaken up; Miss Winnie Keegan,
bruised and cut on scalp; Miss Mar
garet Connor, bruised and shaken up.
Three of these were sent to Lynn hos
pital the others to their homes in car
riages. The elevator boy was late, Fri
day morning, and Mr.. Crane ran the
elevator. 1t reached the fourth story
of the factory when something went
wrong and it stopped. Mr.. Crane
jerked the starting cable and the ele-
vator. which contained Is people. went
down rapidly beyond control Of Mr..
Chase. 1t struck the bottom with much
force and Immediately the heavy iron
weight snapped from it's cable, fell
upon the cage. broke through the iron
top and sides, and fell upon the Occu-
pants, bearing Mr.. Crane to the floor
and Miss Herlihy with him. The others
sent up scream of fright.
Men in the factory broke through the
wooden sides of the elevator well and
into the cage. They lifted out those
who were able to move. Some tainted
at once. Then they lifted the iron
weight from the two bodies and took
them out Medical Examiner Pinkham
with half a dozen doctors and the pO-
lice were summoned.
The injured were removed to the hos
pital or sent home and the other occu-
pants cared for. The dead were given
in charge of undertakers.
Medical Examiner Pinkham stated
that the two victims met death by acct
dent. through the fall of the counter
balance weight of the elevator. Cranes
chest was crushed in and Miss Her.
lihy's skull was fractured. She died
before medical attendance could reach
her and before the last rites of the
Catholic church could be administered
through two clergymen who We're soon
there. The elevator was put in by a
Boston firm. and was inspected. Tues
day. The starting cable was broken
short off and the cable that held the
weight parted sharply as if cut with a
| knife. The top of the cage was twisted
and smashed and the woodwork that
supported the elevator frame was
splintered and shattered. 1t is thought
that the elevator slipped a cog and thus
went to the bottom very fast. so rapidly
that its downward course could not be
checked before it fell, though possibly
the parting of the weight cable sent it
down.

road was observed at Railroad Park,
Wiscasset. Saturday. Sept. u. The
schools at Winslow, North VassalbOro,
East Vassalboro and South China were
the ones directly interested. Teachers
and scholars from these towns attend
ed in large numbers. The regular
morning train down had all 1t could
possibly carry. Indeed. it got stuck
once on one Of the steepest grades.
This caused but little delay SO that the
train reached Wiscasset nearly on
time. After arriving 1t did not take
the ball players long to hnd tneir
places on the fine field. First the boys
Of the Winslow High school played the
boys of the North VassalbOrO High
school. 1t was fine game and skill
fully played. At the close the score
stood 6 to 3 In favor of the Winslow
team, who received as a prize a me
