4 MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Hundred Brick Tumbled Down
From Gale Building aad MI.
Gale Was in the Midst.

l.. q. Gale had a miraculous eS-
cape a little before & O'Clock Monday
evening as he was standing at the
front entrance OF his theatre build
ing, which is in course of conslruc-
ton. The maSons were building up
a wall between two windows, about
Is inches wide and had run up two
courses Of brick. A brace which was
attached to the window frame to
hold it in place, vas loosened and
the waterboy came along that way
to relieve the thirst Of the masous.
The lad unlntentionally stepped on
the loose brace, which had the effect
of pushing out the wall, which had
not as yet been backed up with
the rest of the brick. AS a conse-

and they started to 90 away, when
they saw the brick fall. They all

same moment the brick came hurt.
ling down. and, seemingly, just
before reaching him, they separated
and fell all about him, but not one
of the brick hir him. His escape
from injury and possibly a fatality
Was something bordering on the
miraculous. The wall was perfectly
solid and would not have fallen out
but for the tact that the brace had
been loosened ana that it was step
ped on. A two inch plank on which
Mr.. Gale was standing was broken
in two by the falling brick.
This incident only tends 10 serve
as a greater caution TO the public III
going past the building and in and
around it. Mr.. Gale has put up
sufficient danger signs, and has
placed ratings across the sidewalk
in front OF the building to aid in
keeping the people from walking
where the danger lies from a falling
brick Or board. Notwithstanding
these precautions people Will insist
in climbing over OF under the railing
or squeeze in between the marrow
spaces to walk on the sidewalk, in
stead of going out in the street and
taking the safe side of the ploposi-
ton. If anybody should happen to
get hit on the head it will be their
own fault. practically, for sufficient
warnings have been given the public
OF the possibility of danger.

Police Investigate sAlIegOtiOns that
Child Has Been Neglected by
the Father.

An investigation has been made in
the case of George Kasimo, of 2S2
Oak street, whose infant, it is as
serted, is not being properly cared
for. A policeman visited the house
yesterday and found the child ply
steal wreck and plainly showed that
it had not been receiving enough to
eat.
A number of neighbors were ques-

have seen no doctor near the house
since the child has been ILL.,
A woman was in charge of the
place when the policeman visited
there yesterday, but no information
could be obtained from her about
the baby. Kasimo is not destitute,
and receives a good salary, being en-
ployed at the Raritan Copper Works,
but for some reason, since his wife
died, the child has received little at
tention.
The authorities are investigating
further and, unless the child is cared
for from now on, criminal action will
be taken against the father.

of the Goldsmith building on State
street, and struck in water barrel
along side of which Mr.. Henderson,
the contractor, William Sellers, a
delegate of the Masons' Union, and a
laborer were standing, came near

ing to induce the masons not to go
to work. Only one man was on the
building, laborer, who was getting
material ready for the masons, and
who could not speak English.

feeling toward the union, but was
notified a few days ago that the
building must be completed immedi

himself.

other, and that they will shortly
conduct an ice business in this city,
and that the reason the deal has been
kept quiet is, that the title has not
yet been cleared.
