MAN FOLLOWED
FALLING Stone

John Carmody's escape from death
at the river bridge, where he was work
ing, was narrow one Saturday MORN
ing. but he lives to tell the tale after
fall of possibly twenty five or thirty
feet and except for numerous painful
bruises is not seriously hurt.
The accident occurred soon after
work began in the morning at the Sec
ond pier, the top Of which is being
taken off preparatory to rebuilding the
pier. Carmody was riding a stone be-
ing carried by the derrick, when the
hooks slipped and allowed the stone
to drop. The man had hold of the
chain, but the stone had borne part of
his weight and his grasp on the chain
was not firm. He clung for moment.
then lost his hold and fell, plunging
after the big stone and in fact landin g
on it.
Saturday night the injuries Of Oar
mody, who boards at the home of OIL
yer Hoover, South Danville, did not
prevent his being around as usual. To
escape SO lightly from such a thrilling
and dangerous experience is uncom-
monty good fortune.

1900 Tons of Iron Coming.

Iron for the river bridge comes in
steadily. UP to last night there had
been received here in all twelve cars,
the material they contain being more
than enough for one span of the bridge.
In all it is expected that sixty cars of
iron will come, the weight of the iron
to be about 1900 tons. When the struc-
tufe is erected and the patent flooring
is placed OH it the combined weight
will be great. The arrival of the iron
shipments to date has been so prompt
as to insure against any delay because
of shortage of iron. While there is
more than sufficient iron here FOR a
span, this does not mean ;t is being
shipped span at time with just the
parts entering into the construction of
the span. OF the twelve cars of iron
shipped in the greater part is in the
form of heavy girders.
The construction work yesterday ad-
vanced favorably and the engine was
moved on the abutment to allow of its
use in erecting the false work. Sever
al more bents were put in place. The
first and second piers of the bridge are
being supplied with the coping. The
abutment rises at good rate of speed.
