ground yesterday, painting the steeple
of Broad Street Methodist Church, Rich
mond, J. w. Morton, steeple-jack,
was attacked by bees, who had made
their nest in the top of the tall struc
ture. Mr.. Morton was unable to attract
the attention of those below and could
not fight the bees very vigorously for
fear of falling from his lofty perch. He
began to let himself down slowly by
means of pulley, while the bees con-
tinned to sting him on the hands and
other portions of his anatomy. He f.
nally reached the ground in consid-
erably swollen condition, but not seri-
ously injured.
