ANNAPOLIS, Md, June %. 1905.
Another serious accident occurred this
morning on the new mess hall at the Naval
Academy, in which two men were badly In
jured. After falling over sixty feet and
striking among a mass of building material
they live to tell the tale in spite of the
fact that IT is reasonable to presume that
they would have been killed instantly.
The men were both iron workers and were
working on a scaffold near the top of the
building. The men, who are Edward Nor
wood of Baltimore and George Loeback of
Cleveland, Ohio, had almost completed the
work they were engaged upon when the
scaffold slipped.
