III" STATION POLICE.
Special Hen To Be at Do7Cnto1oR
Stations IN Rash Hours.

Following conference yesterday between Inter
borough officials and Police Commissioners McAdoo,
the latter announced that the company had agreed
10 have special policemen on all the downtown sle-
waited road stations during the rush hours OF each
day. II viii be their duty TO see that there Is no
more undue crowdng and fighting 10 get on trains,
and particularly that such accident occurs SIM

Vice-President Bryan and General Superintendent
TIedley OF the marlborough. first asked Commits
sioner McAdoo TO detail men from the Police Depart
ent TO safeguard the interests OF the public on the
stations. Mr.. McAdoo refused. Mr.. Bryan con-
tended that the elevated stations are public places
and that the Commissioner could be compelled 10
have police there. The Commissioner argued that
the elevated road is operated by a corporation
legally bound protect its patrons. and that such
responsibility extended 70 the station platforms

FALLS TEN STORIES.
ScafoId in Chicago Postoffce Drops
One Killed, One May Die.

Chicago. Feb. 26-One man was killed, an
other was probably fatally injured and more
than a score of workmen had narrow escapes
from being crushed beneath a great scaffold
which collapsed this afternoon in the centre Of
the new postofice building. The scaffold was
built from the main floor OF the building d.
rectly beneath its dome TO the tenth floor, 161
feet Thirty-hve men were working about the
dome at the time of the accident. and for a
time It was thought that nearly half this num-
Der had been killed by the falling tinbers. but
all escaped except two plasterers-James Byron
and Barney" McBride-who were standing or
the platform of the scaffolding which collapsed.
Byron fell to the main floor Of the building and
was killed. Mcbride also fell, but he managed
to catch hold Of one OF the floors as he was
falling, and thus saved his life. His head was
severely cut and bruised and his spine injured.
When the structure collapsed. the fall was sc
great and the pile of lumber gained such
momentum before II struck the bottom floor
that the crash was heard many blocks away.
Clouds of dust were blown from open windows
and doors, giving rise to report that the build
ing was in flames. and dozen fire engines re-
spon6ed to a special alarm. When II was
learned that there was no fire. the fremen
were put at work clearing away the debris.
The construction OF the interior Of the build
ing was in charge OF Superintendent Ker. Of
the John Peirce Construction Company, in the
absence of Mr.. Peirce. who was in New-York.
Mr.. Ker declared tonight that the accident
must have been caused by the dropping Of
bolt from the scaffolding.
