Mr. Shoemaker says in explanation: "The Constitution makes.no provisionforprlority of commission -for judges appointedLthcn by what authority does Govornor Pattison designate one of them president JudgeT Prospects for a Legal Muddle. "The Constitution als states that if a president Judge is re-elected he continues to hold the commission. Suppose now that the new president Judge should be re-elected next November and the other two juages had cast lots, and disputed the right with him, who would be the one entitled to hold the senior commission? The president Judge appointed by the Govornor would base his right on one' section of the Constitution, and the other claimant on another. It is thereductio adabsurdnm in reasoning." Judge Agnew was also interrogated about this point. He said: "Once more the ques tion reverts to the right of the Governor to fill the offices by appointment. If thoy are vacant, I -think "he can appoint a president judge, inasmuch as there is a va cancy in the office. This is prob ably how the Governor reasoned Blnce the Constitution is silent on this point. However, I am very much interested in the questions raised by Mr. Shoemaker as every lawvcr in Pittsburg will be, and I suppose the Supreme Court will be called on to settlo the disputed points. Since I havo retired from the bench and active practico the cases 1 have heard flit before my mind like pan oramic pictures, but I can't remember much about them. When I was on the Supreme bench I studied every caso carerully, and then wo discussed them among ourselves. We often differed radically, but that is to be expected from mortals. I often saw where lawyers erred In citing cases which they thought applied to the matter in dispute." Judge Porter has handed in his resigna tion as Chairman of the Republican County Committee. Yesterdav ho received 18 appli cations for positions. The commissions are expected to-day, when the now court will organize. They will commence to sit in court next Monday. The new Judges, if re elected next November, will hold the next license Court, so it is said. THEY LEFT HER BEHIND. An Everson Girl's Parents Go for Europe, Leaving Her at the Union Depot She Remained There Two KIghts, and Was Sent Home Testerday Morning. "I want a policeman." It was a 17-year-old girl, neatly dressed, and with the bloom of thecountry lingering around her rather pretty faco, who thus ac costed an official at the Union depot on Tuesday night. "Well, 1 will call a depot officer." "Oh, no," said the young lady, "I want a eitv policeman." "Want to have someone arrested, eh?" "Oh, no: I want a place to sleep." "Well, vou can sleep in here," she was told, and Mrs. Hempt, the night matron, was made acquainted with the girl's de sire. ToMrs.IIemptslietoldastory which,lf true, shows great heartlessness on the part of her parents. She said that she came with her mother and father from Everson on Monday to see them off for Europe, whither they departed on Monday night. When the train bearing them had left she found she had no money to get homo, and so remained in the station all night. Inquirv from the officials elicited the fact that this part of her story, anyway, was true. Next morning,, still without saying UU ;uui uuuub uci jrunuii, dud ao- niaincd at the station, and when Mrs. Hempt asked her whether she had money to buy a meal she said she had not. She was given a meal in the restaurant and then related the incident about her parents. It was too late to send her home, and so she passed another night in the ladies' waiting rofim. Yester day morning Depot Master Butler was told her story, and he sent her on to Everson on an earlv train. The depot officials aro Inclined to doubt her statement, and believe that she came to town and made up the talo to enable her to return. On the other hand she appeared to be respectable, and told her story in such a manner as to make it appear true. .Her parents, she said, did not want liortogo back and left her withoutmoneyon purpose. What happened to the girl at Everson is only known to the people there. Her name could not be learned. EPISCOPAL CHURCH CONSECRATION Onthe Second Anniversary of the Great Flood at Johnstown.

KISSES THE 'WRONG GIRL. A Toung Man Mistakes Some Other Fellow's for His Own at the Depot. There was an amusing scene and a very distressed young man at the Union depot last night. Among the passengers who passed through the barriers for the Eastern express was a young lady attended by.a dap per young gentleman with a very lover-like air and the lady's satchel. The pair boarded the train and were soon engrossed in con versation, so much so that when the signal for departure was given tho young man Jpmped up and made for the door without saving goodby. When he reached tho vestibule he remem bered his oversight and started back to remedy it. The car was well filled and the young man was, doubtless, nervous, and probably near-sighted, for when he reached the section, as ho thought, containing his be loved, he stooped suddenly and imprinted a fervid kiss on the lips of some other girl. There was a scream: deep flushes sufiused the cheeks of the right girl, quickly followed bv an Indignant frown: a hurried arjolocv from the poor fellow, and then a wild rush I for the door, and a tumble off tho now rap-I idly moving train by a very t ' shamefaced and uisgrunueu young man. NOW IN ITS NEW QUABTEBS. The Pension Office Is Now Installed in the Old University Building. The pension office has been removed from its old quart rson Third avenue to larger premises In tho old University building. Boss and Diamond streets. The removal of the archives and office paraphernalia was commenced on Saturday and yesterday tho office force was just about comfortably at work. Three extensive rooma on the first floor are occupied, and while the arrange ments are not altogether convenient, the staff will havo fairly comfortable quarters until the Federal building is finished. Pension Agent IL H. Bengough said yes terday that his district had about 29,000 pen sioners and this number was increasing at about 30 a day. Somewhere over f 1,000,000 was paid out quarterly. The increase in the number of pensioners was due largely to the' dependent pensions bill. But there was no correspondingly largo increase in the pay ments because the pensions under that but were limited to $12 a month. There were ttillsomeof the old pension claims coming B from time to time. Objected to a Quartet of Bridges. The hearing before Commissioner W. A. Schmidt in the case of tho Coal Exchange versus the Panhandle, Pittsburg, Bellevne and Stoubenville Bridge Companies was con tinued yesterday.

Twenty-one river men gave testimony to the above effect yesterday before the commissioner. Have No Use for Them.

BEV. R. C. TYYIIE SELECTED. Thirty-Two Delegates Slowed Their Sym pathy for Liberalism oy Young for Bev. J, M. Armour. THE SUSPENDED MNISTEBS Mil LEAYE, Believing That the Synod Will Haw Itself to Be Firm in the Old School. The Synod of the Beformed Presbyterian Church met for the sixty-second time yes terday. It met in the Eighth street church and was called to order by Eev. D. H. Coul ter, of Winchester, Ky. Of the 150 congre gations entitled to representation 115 were represented. This includes all sections of the Union, as well as Now Brunswick and Nova Scotia. These are, all old school Cov enanters. There was a swarming in 1833,at which time the liberals went off, and 53 years after the same question comes up for settlement In the parent hive, with conse quences that can only be approximately guessed at at present, though the heretics suspended by the Pittsburg Presbytery do not go so far as to declare their in tention to vote and act Independently of the church In the matter of political dis sent. It is asserted that the conservatives are largely In the majority and from the pysiognomles and silver hair present it looks decidedly that way. The prominent L actors in the strugglo In the Presbytery last December were their, but withthe excep tion of Dr. David McAlister, they took no part yesterday. ProtD. B. Wilson, as alert as ever was on hand and so were the Georges, Sproull, the "heretics," and In fact all who made the Wilkinsburg church re verberate with their eloquence, and were wide awake but said nothing: After prayer by the Moderator, Eev. D. H. Coulter, Dr. R. J. George, Synod Secretary, called the roll. The delegates from the East and New York did not answer, being de tained by a wreck on the Pennsylvania Bail road. Professor McClurkin Barred Out. When the Pittsburg Presbytery was reached, Dr. McAlister announced that the seven suspended ministers could not be delegates. The Moderator also ruled that to the list must be added Bev. E. Clyde, of Iowa, and Eev. 8. A. George, of Ohio. Prof. J. K. McClurkin's name was stricken off the list on motion of Dr. McAlister. Prof. Mc Clurkin Is the man who saved the Synod trouble by kicking over the" traces and vol untarily withdrawing from the Jarring- bodies. At the conclusion of tho roll-call Dr. McAlister, chairman of the Committee on Programme, announced the order of the day. Thereport was accepted and Elder James S. Arthur, of Allegheny, presided at the morn ing session, which was all devotional. In the interludes between prayer and song, Eev. William McFarlln, of Ogdonsburg, N. Y., discussed the first topic, "Confessions of Dishonor Done to the Holy Spirit," and Eev. J. S. Thompson, of Utica, O., "Encourage ments to Expect the Spirit's Outpouring." The afternoon session was presided over by Elder James Thompson, of Beulah, Neb., a member of Kansas Presbytery. Eev. David McKee, of Clarlnda, la., prayed and Eev. T. C. Sproull, of Cedarville, O., lectured on the necessity of confession of sin In order that the same may enter into communion with God. Bev. Sproull was followed by Bev.D. G. Thompson, of Oakdale, HL Not Enough Fasting on Fast Days. The question, "How Can This Part of Our Covenant Bo Made More Effective?" was dis cussed by Eev. J. M. Farts, of New Concord, O. Ho thought there was not enough of fasting on fast dars, and urged that fasting should mean abstinence from food in making preparation for the communion. Revs. J. S. T. Milligan, S. M. Stevenson, of Clay county, Ky J. F. Crozier. of Marchand, Pa., and Elder J. P. Montgomery, of St. Louis, Mo.,, also spoke. While several skated close to the thin ice the latter was the first to come squarely at the issue that Is expected to cause friction. He said that he supposed that not one could say, that he had kept the covenant entire since 20 years ago yesterday, when it was made.' He also referred to tho matter of prohibition and the attitude of the church on the same. Elder Montgomery is a stalwart conserva tive. Rev.D. S. Paris, of Sparta, HI., thought, like children being burned, Christians will learn by experience, and told of the agony he had endured in consequence of having ridden on the street cars on Sunday. , At 3 o'clock Dr. E. J. George announced that Eev. J. & McFeeters, of Philadelphia, had not yet made his appearance on deck. A.psalm was sung to pass away the time, and the Bev. T. P. Eobb, of Sharon, la., the alternate, was recommended to sail close to the wind for a time in the event of the Philadelphia divine's failure to materialize. His services were needed, and he took for his text Isaiah xxvt, 20: "Come now, my people, enter thon into tho chambers and shut the doors about thee: liido thyself, as it were, for a little moment until the Indig nation be overpast." Trouble Expected In Church, and State. Tho prophet predicted a storm of divine wrath to fall upon Judah, and called on sin ners to heed the word of God and be saved. This is God's way, said the speaker, and then he referred to tho trouble in the church and said this was the cause of yesterday's humiliation. All trouble may come from twosouroes and for two rmrnoses. Itmav be from God and it may be from Satan, God allowing the adversary to punish nations and individuals for their good. The speaker sees signs of trouble in church and state. Although for 20 years there has been no great war, yet the resources of nations are belngdrainod to increase armies and even in the United States there is n rage for arma ment that bodes trouble Then there are la bor troubles and signs of the apocalyptic panorama, with blood flowing to the horses' bridles. But the signs in tho churches are more ominous than those in the nations. Creeds, customs and systems of theology are being broken and driven forward, as it were, on the surees of the swollen river bv a force that seems to know no check, and it affects not only the Established Church of England, but the Presbyterian and even the rock ribbed little Covenanter organization. By request of the committee, the speaker said he had chosen his subject, and he came now to it. He traced this trouble very com fortably to the love of God, who chastens those whom He loves. The purification of persecution was cited as evidence that trouble Is necessary to purification. The sec ond cause is the effective one of God's Indig nation. While God has no pleasure In the death of any, yet He finds It necessarvto chastise His children in the most intense anguish of love. There is still another cause of distress the procuring cause the forsaking of the Lord. The church Is not doing what she ought to do. Though posslhlv in a majority in the nation, yet the .1 power still degrades humanitv: secret fraternity sways the Govcn;! tlland infidelity Is rampant, etc. ;-cu Is weak because she has not m:i.. .id and uncompromising front against j.j-u:iry. Safety Found In Secret Prayer. Secret prayer is the present duty of the Covenanter Church. It Is encouraged by the texts to hope that the trouble will not last long. There are grounds to hope that the test of the Covenanter Church will be a short one. A cablegram was received from the Coven anter Church, of Belfast, Ireland, as follows: "Peace be within thy walls and prosperity within thy palaces." The Secretary was directed to answer the message, when a recess was taken until 7:30 r. ii. The evening session opened with devo-, tional exercises. The retiring Moderator, Bev. D. H. Coulter, of Manchester, Eas., de livered his valedictory sermon. He said that Christ enlightens the world through the' agency of the Church, and likened the! Church to a city on a hill, on an elevation as a vantage ground, so it can shine far and near. He referred to the fitness of the Church, and said that to say that any of the Bible truths were not essential to the useful ness of the Church was to supplant the wis- firm. ff fha Y..wf t.w 4Y... J.t.. .. "The maintenance or discipline and loyalty. I to the truths and doctrines of the Church', I 'said the minister, "are essential to the fitness . of the Church and bo to Its elevation. Must Maintain Its Standard. The-Church should preserve Its high standard," he continued. "There has been too much going down into the world. If the Church takes the broad and easy road it gains in number, but loses in power. Divine truth always encounters opposition from, the world. Adherence to truth and doctrine is a measure of purity and elevation and the Church will shine accordingly." The 'speaker urged adherence to the ground on which their Church had accom plished so much in behalf of truth. They occupied a position of pre-eminent 'moral grandeur, and there was supreme need that this position be maintained. At the conclusion of the sermon nomina tions for Moderator were received. The names presented were Eev. E. C. Wylie, Bay, Ind.: Eev. E. C SnronL of Cedarville. In " and Bev. J. M. Armour, of Philadelphia. On the first ballot Mr. Wylie was elected, receiv ing 9i votes, Mr. Armour 82 and Mr. Sproul2S. The election was afterward made unanimous. The new Moderator is recognized as the can didate of the conservative element, though Mr. Stirnnl'a adherents were also conserva tive. Mr. Armour was the choice of the liberal or voting element. J. E. Wylie, W. J. Straub and J.'R. Wilson were appointed a Committee on Devotional Exercises. Tho clerks of the Synod and Dr. McAllister were appointed a Committee on the Order of Business. Xiberalists May Leave the Church. The young men who were suspended in December are not sanguine of making their point. They think the Synod will show Itself to be wholly given over to Old School Ism, but they are not cast, down and possi bly get considerable consolation from their backing, which Is not only very enthusiastic but also considerable, it appearing that there Is more or less taint of liberalism in nearly all the churches of the denomination. One of the suspended says he expects the Synod will sustain the Presbytery and refuse to open tho case, as they have been preachlng,in otffer churches since suspen sion. As they aro able and full of fire they can easily get charges in other churches, but of course it would be no small satisfaction to win their suit before tho Synod. In their retirement, if they go, they will probably be accom panied bv other able clergymen. Among them are Bev. J. F. Carson,oi Brooklyn; Eev. J. a K. Milligan, or New York; Eev. J. B. Thompson. Xewbunr. N. Y.: Bev. J. S. T. Milligan, DennistonKan.: Bev. N. M. Johns ston, Topeka, Eon.; Bev. J. M. MoElhinney, "RnnliAotA.. "W V T... T "I V Unlitwin nrA J. S. T. Milligan are the fathers of Revs. K. M. and J. R. J. Milligan, suspended. There was no trouble about locating the delegates, places being found for all, though the conservative members of the church residing in this vicinity will -loubtless be more crowded than they wn d have been had there been no dissatisfaction. JOHN BOBDEH UNDER ABBEST. His Bail Was Forfeited and -More Will Be Needed to Get Him Out. John Borden, for whom C. I Magee says Mayor Gourley tried to get police protec tion, after havingbeen Indicted for highway robbery by tho grand Jury, was arrested yesterday morning and taken to Cen tral station, where he still remains. County Detective Beltzhoover says Borden's' .friends were around yesterday ready to put -up $1,000 bail for him if needed, but the bond cannot be accepted until the court opens to-morrow. The reason Borden has been at liberty so long as explained by Mr. Beltz hoover Is that Borden came back to Pitts ,burg last September and went into court. wnere ne put up Dan in the amount ot f 600 for his appearance for trial in the September term. There being so many criminal cases on the calender Borden's was overlooked, and the term ended without his being tried. Hi3 .bondsman failed to renew the bond at the end of the term, and, as is customary in such cases, the bond was forfeited. Atthefol slowlng.torm of court the Borden case was not brought before -the court and the young man has been at liberty in the city ever since. Inspector McAleese says he was not aware that Borden had been in the city or he would have had him arrested and turned over to the District Attorney to do what he thought proper. The Inspector never knew until yesterday that Borden had been under bail. Ho will send the prisoner to jail, ac cording to District Attorney Johnston's In structions, this morning.

Be Moved Walls Station June 1. to DOINGS OF A DAY. IN IAB0R CTECIES The tactics of some of the contractors to '.get men to this city to take the places of the strikers came to light yesteraay. it has been claimed all along bythe strikers that tho contractors were representing .to workmen in other cities that there was no strike here, and that an abundance of work could be fur nished all who would come to Pittsburg. The contractors, In turn, have been denying these statements as fast as made. President Barnes yesterday said there was not the slightest truth in the statement that any of the associations were making an effort to get men here from other places. "The difficulty has been," said he, "to keep them from coming. Letters are received every day from men offering their services, but for the sake of our old employes, whose Interests we yet have in view, we have.re- frained from bringing, the men here." A -Baltimore Man Deceived. Yesterday, however, George W. Fields came here from Balltlmore, intending to go to work for the South Pittsburg Planing Mill Company, and as soon as he learned the local situation he changed his mind and re turned home last night. He made the state ment" that he had been induced to come here by the firm on the Southside, who rep resented to him that there was no labor difficulty in Pittsburg. He said he had written to tho firm a few days ago, and as a reply received the following telegram: ' PrrrsBmio, May 26, 1891. GEO. W. Fields, 1843 Harford aTenne, Baltimore: All right.

The statement was to have been sworn to, but when Mr. Fields, accompanied by Spe cial Agent Flattery, went to Magistrate Mc Kenna's office, that official had retired, and the statement was left in the hands of the local strikers' official a for what it Is worth. He also left the original telegram which he jihu. receivea irom tne ooutn nttSDurg Planing Mill Company. This information was gained too late last night to get the A significant break from the ranks of the strikers was reported from the Southside yesterday. M. G. Frank, who has several men working nine hours, was seen last night and he said that the President of one of the unions on that side of the river Is working for an official of the Builders' Exchange. He did not know the man's name, but was satisfied tho strikers would know who It is. An equally Important break was forced from the master builders. Contractor Mo Masters signed the eight-hour scale within three days after the strike commenced, but previous to that time he had contracted with Watson Bros., of Allegheny, for the brick for the King Building on Liberty avenue. Watson Bros.,' who are members of the Builders' Exchange, refused for a time to furnish the brick, but after seeking legal ad vice Jhe Exchange advised them to supply that contract. Work on the new Davis Theator is going on with eight or ten additional men. Assist ant Contractor Gillespie, however.

Members of the Builders' Exchange Visit the Western University. A number of citizens representing some of the industries of the city, the architects, general contractors, plumbers, carpenters, roofers, painters, .bricklayers and others, having heard of the department of indus trial or technical education of the Western University, paid a visit to that institution yesterday.

The new thonsand-dollar license law was received with almost general approval ex cept by the Mayor and by the dealers on the' Southside. The former thought it would increase speak-easles, and the latter said some would be crowded out Mayor Gourley said: "I think it will be a good thing in one way and not so good in an other. It is manifest that a double price for licenses under the new act will be very nourishing for the officers of the city, but It wjll doubtless make the number of licensed saloons much less and the number of speak easies consequently much greater." Inspector McAleese says he will tend to tho speak-easy part of it. "I have no doubt," said be, "that there will be less saloons. .There will be no more speak-easles, how over, if weTcan help it, and.I think we can. It has been demonstrated that such places can be kept out, no matter how many want to ran them." J. K.Durr, who has been in the saloon business for 31 years, with the exception of last year, said: "I am heartily in favor of the change. It will have the effect of mak ing the business more respectable, because it will keep the keepers of low places out of the business entirely. In case it has a ten dency to Increase speak-easles the saloon Keepers can aia tne autuontics oy organiz ing for their own protection. The new law' will be a benefit to the courts by reducing tho number of applicants to be heard each year, and I believe it will be a good thing all round." "Davy" Jones, of Allegheny, said: '1 think it is a wise move, because it will make the business more exoluslve, and because of this fact a man who has a license will have a greater reason for conducting his business in a more respectable manner. I believe every man who wants a license should have it and if he violates the law his license should be revoked. If it Increases the num ber of speak-essles, as it Is likely to do, we have city authorities to look after them." George Beineman said he was perfectly satisfied with the new law and does not think it makes much difference what the price of a license is. ' .August Bodenhagen, 1400 Carson street, thought the amendment an mitrairA. "With tho Brooks law fee Increased to $1,000, the business tax of $100 and the mercantile tax, we are almost driven to the wall. There 13 nothing in the business any more." ouunu (jonner, tne wnoiesaie aeaier ai 1811 Larson street, thought the measure would be a failure as the smaller dealers on the Dace streets could not stand it. Thomas O'Shell, at Twenty-first and Car son streets, was very emphatic in his denun ciation of the bill. He thought it was a scheme of the most prominent saloon keep ers to freeze out the small(fry.

FM AMONG BUNGS AND BAEEBLS, Which Ended Up in a Night's TMt to Cen tral Police Station. WILL BE JjECTUBEDANDLETOIJT TO-DAY Curled up on a hard wooden bench in one of the Central station cells last night were four little drunken boys. Though their ages are scarcely out of the single figures they had each tried to drink a man's share of John Elllhan's whisky and the spirits came out winner. Mr. Klllban's place Is at Second avenue and Boss street, where last year he had a wholesale liquor license The first of May, to his sorrow, failed to bring a renewal of the license, and Mr. Kill han had a wellrstocked cellar on his hands. Pending future developments the liquor was left there. Among the boys .In the neighborhood are Charlie Eugan, Willie McGulre, Michael Bayburn and Jimmie Beagan, all about H years old. An Opening Out of the Ordinary. Like most youngsters, they had a longing to do something different from ordinary fel lows, and the only opening into the more grown-up wickedness of the world seemed to be the window to Mr. Elllhan's cellar. About 0 o'clock last night the four boys met at the corner to carry out their prearranged plans. They knew where the loose window was, and were soon crawling through It down among the barrels and kegs. In a few moments several spigots were creaking and the lads were pouring down the flery drink like "real men." Quietness did not long remain pleasant as more whisky was poured in. Soon the youngsters started a game of "gray wolf," tumbling over the bar rels and knocking down old jars and pans. A dozen new Jugs totteredfrom a shelf and crashed down on a row of half-barrels of Monongahcla river water. The boys were using their lungs to add to the din and the people upstairs were frightened badly. Arrested for Their First Drunk. About this time Officer Frank Teager came along and went down after the boisterous youths. To carry four drunken youngsters out of a dark cellar Is not an easy task, but It was accomplished at last, and the patrol wagon took them all to Central station. The little fellows were still very demonstra tive, but soon after being' locked up the liquor began to tell In another way, and they huddled up together on the bench and went to sleep. Willie McGulre's mother came around to the station later, but the boy did not know her, and she went away cry ing. All four had tnmbled around under the Influence of a Juvenile Jag until they were covered with dirt from head to foot. They were minus their hats and altogether pre sented a sad spectacle. "Poor little fellows," said Inspector Mc Aleese, as he stood looking In at them through the bars, "they've tackled as much as a good many men could stand." The boys will be released this morning with a lecture. GOOD JUDGES. What They Have to Say About It, No new town in Western Pennsylvania has ever attracted so much attention or called forth so many expressions of approval ua xjuwuuu. a pruuimeut uau&er wuo visited the phenomenal 'town last week, said: "It is the most perfect town site I've ever seen, and will soon come to be known as the most charming spot in the State." A steel manufacturer from Chicago speaks his mind thus: '1 am delighted. I'll come here often and bring my friends. For grand scenery, the Khine does not compare with the Connoquenessing. That drive through Glen Park is a feast to the lover of nature, nnil flip TTntpl OllTriiT ii a tram " A prominent lawyer expressed his opinion as follows:- "I saw from a Pittsburg and Western car window the neatest hotel I had ever seen," and on inquiry I found it was the Hotel Oliver, at Eirwood-on-the-Connoque-nessing. I immediately called on Black & Baird, with them inspected the place and bought several lots." A newspaper man thus voiced his senti ments on his first visit to Fllwood: "This is a perfect revelation. It is what Pittsburg needs more than any city in the country a convenient place for people to escape to." A shrewd and successful retired business man has this to say: 'I've bought several lots at Ellwood and expect to purchase sev eral more. It is bonna to be a great place. I never saw natural advantages to compare with those of Ellwood." The sale of property to parties who are already improving it is remarkable, and every day brings inquiries from distant points. Ten handsome residence lots facing Fourth street were sold yesterday to five Sarties, all of whom will build fine resi ences, each house to occupy two lots. Work on one of the dwellings was begun yester day. Scores of buyers will be there Satur day, May 30. The owners will not permit auction sales, but our representatives are always at Ellwood.

"' .Young Daniel Martin Hurled to Death Down an Elevator Shaft at J. D. Bernd & Co.'i Wholesale Store He Made Fatal Error. Daniel D. Martin, a boy employed, at the wholesale store of J. D. Bernd 4 Co., Liberty and Ninth streets, fell down an elevator shaft yesterday afternoon and was killed. For three years he has been employed there as clerk. About i o'clock in the afternoon he was directed to go to tbeflfthfloor to bring down some boxes to the lower sales room. He went up and piled the boxes near the doorway of the freight elevator, which Is bandied by no one In particular, each em ploye using and managing it as occasion de mands. After getting the boxes ready Martin opened the door of the elevator shaft and yelled to those below to look out. Then he began pulling the platform up, and when It reached the fifth floor he turned round, and with his face turned from the door he backed through into the shaft with one of the boxes. As he did so the other employes in the build ing heard a shriek, and running to the shaft they saw Martin's mangled body lying at the bottom of the cellar, while the elevator plat form was at the sixth floor. Death must have come instantly. The body was terribly bruised and shattered. It was removed to Samsnn'anndfirtftkinff nvwna and afterward, taken to the home of the young man's parents, at the corner of Wylie avenue and Congress street. It Is not definitely known how Martin hap pened to allow the elevator to pass up to tho sixth floor, but it is supposed that it was done absent-mindedly, and that when he turned from the shaft he supposed he had stopped the machine and did not look back before attempting to get In. Daniel Martin was a britrht and nonular young fellow on thehlll, where hehas lived all his life, and was highly esteemed by his employers. He was a son of James Martin. who has kept a millinery store on Wylie ave nue for many years. New Democratic Club.
