FELL TWOJUNBRED FEET
Terrible Pluntjc of John Connors in
West Ritltjc Company's Shaft.
THROWN OTP THE CARRIAGE
lie Bad Neglected to Sccuro alight Hold
on the Side of tho Cage and When
It Suddenly Stopped
lie 1 lew Off.
John Connors, of the South Side, was
overtaken by a terrible .death In the
West Rldire Coal company's mines In
the North I.'nd at S o'clock last night.
He fell down the shaft, over 200 feet
deep, and hla body was horribly man
gled. The unfortunate man was employed
by Deacle Bros., contractors, who are.
engaged in sinking the shuft for the
West I'.ldgo Coal company. It Is situ
ated at the corner of North Main ave
nue and Ferdinmid street.
Connors and a fellow-workman
named M:Qulgley were engaged tu re
moving a platform from the 14-foot
vein, it wub necessary that they
should have to displace a large beam
thut was preventing them from loading
the platform on the mine currlage. The
beam wuu about fourteen feet long and
twelve inches square and was securely
spiked In Its position.
First they drew out the spikes and
then they hud to get a long chain and
haul It from Its place, by attaching the
chain around the beam and hitching
the other end to the bottom of the car
riage. Then by giving the signal to
the engineer to hoist, the power of the
engine was utilized to drag the beam
from Its position; It was out of the ques
tion for them to try by their strength to
remove It.
A man named Tnomas Boland and a
Polander employed In the shaft came
there, and these two got upon the car
riage with Connors. Meyulgley went
to the speaking tube and gave the sig
nal to the engineer to hoist the car
riage. Ho Warned the Men,
McQulgley, at the same time warned
the men to catch a tight hold of the
rods on the carriage, as the Jerk might
throw any of them off. Connors, un
fortunately, was not guarded for the
sudden jolt that came when the power
of the engine hauled the beam from Its
position.
The heavy weight of the beam, when
it came taut uguinst the chain, lurched
the carriage and Connors toppled on'.
He fell down through the opening
where the beam had been taken from
and In the descent to the bottom his
head struck against a projecting tim
ber, tearing otr the top of his skull and
scattering his brains against the bunt
ing in the nhul't.
The distance to the bottom or Dun
more vein. Is over 200 feet, and the
sump at the foot of the shaft is sixteen
feet deep, tilled with water. Connors
struck with an awful thud In the
water. .
The men descended as quickly as
possible to recover the body and they
found it suspended by the right arm
from a beam that stretched across the
sump.
They removed the remains to the
surface as quickly as possible and
transferred It to the undertaking estab
lishment of D. D. Jones & Son, where
the body was prepared for removal to
Its late home.
A sad feature of the accident Is the
fact that the men were almost through
work and would have departed for
home In a few minutes. They were
working overtime, us the shift they
were on ordinarily finished at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. The four men were
all that were In the. shaft at the time.
Connors was about 35 years of age,
married, but had no family, except a
9-year-old adopted boy. He lived with
his mother-ln-luw, Mrs. Bernard Mc
Brlde, at 1U21 Stone avenue. His wife
Is In the western part of Ohio visiting
relatives, and since her departure Con
nors had boarded with his parents In
Green Ridge.
Mine Inspector Patrick Blewltt and
Coroner Kelley were notified and will
probably look Into the case today.

A "CUE" FOR THE PUBLIC.
Helen Barry, the Actress, Finds a Splendid
Tonic in Paine's Celery Compound.
The play Is done, the curtain drops.
Slow falling to the prompter's boll;
A moment yel the actress stops and looks
uround to say farewell.
U In an Irksome word and tusk,
And when she's laughed und said her say,
She shows as she removes her musk a
face that's anything but guy.
Acting is not all gaiety, lights, and
applause.
There is a deal of drudgery, vexa
tion, and heartache that the people In
the front of the house little Imagine,
Mary Anderson used to advise young
stage-struck girls to keep off the stage.
The feverish excitement, the late hours,
the drudgery of rehearsals, the unnat
ural stimulus from new audiences,
rivalry and applause, make the life full
of perils to health of mind and body.
The careless theater-going public have
no notion of the strain on the nerves
that is inseparable from a dramatic
career.
But members of "the profession"
know what it is, and they have, as a
body, learned how best to keep their
nervous systems strong and capable of
doing the hard work demanded of them.
That Is why Paine's celery compound Is
so popular on the stage.
Helen Barry, the well known actress,
writes to a physician friend, from Tea
Box Cottage, Bellfortj
"It Is with great pleasure I write to
tell you that 1 find Paine's celery com
pound a splendid tonic. I should like
you to procure me a few more bottles."

NATIVE HUB
overwork, by the advice of the wife oi
a U. S. senator in Washington, tried
Paine's celery compound. She says:
"My splrltB picked up, and at the end
of two weeks the same old exuberant
health with which nature blessed ma
had returned.
"I ate and slept as I had not done
since I was a child, and I have never
known ulnce then an hour's inconveni
ence from nervous prostration.
The medicine to which I owe so much
is Paine's celery compound, and I have
recommended It to all of my stage ac
quaintances who have overtaxed their
brains by too close attention to study,
and all have experienced the same hap
py results as myself."
Marie Tempest also, and a host mora
of the most eminent artists who appear
before the public, have recently testified
to the wonderful reinvlgoratlng power
of Paine's celery compound. Their
testimony is noteworthy because no
dasB of women work harder or are un
der greater nervous strain.
Women In every walk of life have
reason to be grateful to Prof. Phelps of
Dartmouth, who discovered Paine's cel
ery compound. He understood the pe
culiar weakness of the sex. He knew
that the backache, lassitude, headache,
sleeplessness, and loss of appetite all
mean that the supply of nervous force
is low and inadequate to the demands
tipon it. The experience of thousands
has taught the women of the country
thut only Paine's celery compound will
give health to the nerves, and, through
them, to the entire body.
