AGED MAN LEAPS 600
FEET TO STREET BELOW

New York, Aug. 10.--From the
tower of the Singer building, one of
the tallest in the world, a man
plunged to death to-day into the
midst of a Broadway lunch-hour
crowd. He was identified as Albert
Goldman, 60 years old. He leaped
from the fortieth floor, nearly 600
feet above the street level, striking
the cOrnice of the main building as
he fell and landing directly in front
of the Broadway entrance.
His body narrowly escaped pas
sersby and was crushed beyond rec
ognition. 1t was identified by a will
and letters found in the mans pock-
cts. The Singer building is 612 feet
high and has forty-one stries.

OLD WAR CLAIM IS PUT

ate has just passed bill appro-
priating $2.936 to Miss S. Stephens
Stone, of Louisville. KY, admins
tratrix of the estate of Mary II. S.
Robertson, deceased. late of Padu-
cab. for the occupancy of the Stone
mansion by the United States au-
thorities during the Civil War.

forces under Gen. Lew Wallace occu-
pied Paducah, he took possession of
Mrs. Stones residence and used it
as headquarters until the fall of FIT.
Donelson. After II was vacated by
him il was converted into a hospital
and used for that purpose until Oc-
tober. 1865.
A number of years ago the claim
was presented to the Quartermaster
General, who held that he was with
out jurisdiction to consider it, and
referred it to the Treasury officials.
who rejected II because the Govern
ment had not entered into any con-
tract for the payment of rent.
The claim has been pending be-
fore Congress for a number of years,
and recently Capt. c. C. Calhoun, Of
Lexington and Washington, has been
employed in the case. During the
present Congress, Representative
Sherley introduced a bill to pay the
claim and had II passed by the House
OF Representatives. On reaching the
Senate, the bill was pressed very
vigorously by Senator Beckham.
Some opposition was encountered by
him when the bill was reached on
the calendar. but he succeeded In
overcoming the objections which
We're raised and had it passed. II Is
expected that the bill will be APP

begun among the ruins early in the
evening. Special agents Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad were
endeavoring to handle the situation
which was constantly becoming more
difficult.
Following night of incessant
rain, Cabin Creek became a roaring
torrent, but warning had been given
and many persons living in mining
towns along the stream had ample
time to seek safety. Five bridges
on the Chesapeake & Ohio branch
line, which reaches up the valley
were washed away, and one on the
main line, necessitating the routing
of trains over the Kanawha & Mich
igan railroad on the north side of
the Kanawha river.
r. Jaco, lineman of the Chesa-
peake G. Potomac Telephone Compa-
ny, reached Cabin Greek Junction
shortly before noon after a walk
over thirteen miles of the company's
lines between Miami and Desota. He
declared that forty persons had been
drowned, and half that number Of
bodies had been recovered.
Jaco was unable to get up the
Kayford branch of the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad, but expressed the
belief that damage and loss of life
in that district was greater than in
other sections. The entire valley
between Miami and Desota was de-
vastated, he said, everything nova
BILE having been washed away.
The excursion train carrying 40
persons marooned by the food was
located to-day between Main Horse
Creek and Little Horse Creek, with
washouts on both sides. Relief was
sent from st. Adams. Women and
children constitute the majority of
excursicnists.
Soon after II o'clock the soldiers
reached Ronda, where headquarters
were established and from which
point the relief work will be carried
on. At that hour an estimate of the
dead remained at 100 but those re-
sponsible for the statement admitted
il was only an estimate.
