BY FALL OF SCAFF0LD
One Workman Was Killed and An
other Was Injured.

One Workman Was Killed and An
other Was Injured.
Chicago, Feb. 26.-One man was
killed, another was probably fatally in
jured, and over a score of workmen
had narrow escapes from being crushed
beneath a monster scaffold which col
lapsed this afternoon in the center of
the new postoffice building.
The scaffold was built from the main
floor of the building directly beneath
it's dome to the tenth floor, a distance
of 161 feet. Thirty-fve men were work.
ing about the dome at the time of the
accident, and for time it was thought
nearly half this number had been kill
ed by the falling timber. but all es-
capped with the exception of two plas-
terers, James Byron and Barney Nc
Bride, who were standing on the por-
ton of the scaffolding which collapsed.
Byron, who was working in the CEN
ter of the scaffold when it gave way,
fell to the main floor of the building
and was instantly killed.
Mcbride, who was working with By
ron, also fell with the scanolding, 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.

SHIPS THAT WERE SUNK
WERE NOT OF VALUE.
The Japanese Account of the At
tempt to Bottle Up the Fleet.

The Japanese Account of the At
tempt TO Bottle Up the Fleet.
Toxic, Feb. 26.-Vice Admiral Togo's
attempt to bottle up the Russian feet
in the harbor at Port Arthur by sink
ing a fleet of stone laden merchant
steamers in the mouth of the harbor,
evidently failed, although the venture
caused no loss of life. and the vessels
lost were not of great value.
Five ships were prepared by Vice Ad-
miral Togo for the attempted blockade.
Four are reported to have been sunk,
but the fate of the fifth is unknown
here. 1t is presumed that it withdrew
with the other Japanese vessels.
The five vessels were filled with stones
so as to make the obstruction perma-
nent, and were manned by volunteer
merchant crews. 1t was impossible
to select naval officers and sailors on
account of their great rivalry to par
ticipate in the daring venture.
Accompanied by four battleships, nine
cruisers and numerous vessels of the
torpedo tlotilla, the stone laden steam
ers reached Port Arthur on Wednes-
day. While the fleet engaged with the
shore batteries the steamers made
dash for the mouth of the harbor, d.
rectly under the Russian guns.
Details of the attack have not been
received, but it is evident that the Rus
slams fire sank the steamers before they
reached the points planned for their
laundering by the Japanese.
1t is said that all of the crews of
the four vessels escaped in boats and
were picked up by the Japanese tor
pedo boat destroyers. The report that
two of the torpedo boat destroyers
were sunk by the Russians is denied.
The Naval Department has received
a brief dispatch from the commander
of one of the torpedo boat destroyers,
saying that no lives and no warships
were lost, and that no damage was in
tiicted by the Russians. Pending the
receipt of the official report of Vice
Admiral Togo the Naval Department
declines to make any announcement
regarding the affair."
The five merchant vessels which
were prepared for sinking were the
Jinsen Maru, 1881 tons the Tien Tsin
Maru, 2,943 tons; the Hokoku Maru.
2776 tons; the Buyo Maru, 1909 tons.
and the Bunshik Maru, 1899 tons.
Each carried five men, two steering
and three firing and running the en-
gineS.

ON A STRANGE VOYAGE
Mr.. and Mrs. Ford started, But They
Came to Grief.

Came to Grief.
Norfolk, Va, Feb. 26.--Mr. and Mrs.
Alphonse Ford were in Edenton. N. c..
some time last week, ostensibly en-
gagged in missionary work. They an
nounced their intention of building an
ark and with sundry wheelbarrow
loads of timber of various kinds, they
finally succeeded in constructing
strange looking craft. 1t was straight
on the side and with no timbers.
With few provisions the couple
had gathered together, they set out TO
sea Thursday afternoon about O'clock
in a strong east wind, and when last
seen they were making for Johns Is
land, where it is supposed they camp
ed for the night.
A telegram from Edenton late to-
night states that Maj. j. G. Bond,
fearing something would happen to Mr..
and Mrs. Ford sent a boat out after
them. They were found aground
about 212 miles from Edenton and had
abandoned their boat and gone up into
the marsh. An oil stove and a sheet
supplied their external comforts. The
couple had barely enough food for an
other meal, and if they had not been
found as soon as they were they would
probably have been dead by morning.
as they were suffering terribly from
the cold.
