MOUNT JOY MAN FELL OFF BRIDGE FALLS TO DEATH FEW MINUTES AFTER SCOFFING AT WARN- ING OF WORKMAN ISSA SA. Several minutes after he jokingly answered a warning to be careful with, “Say, Buddy, I expect to be working on this bridge for a long time to come.” David Stoner, fifty- four, fell to his death from the new Columbia - Wrightsville bridge late Tuesday. Sawing lumber under the forms used for pouring concrete on the third arch rib from the Wrightsville side of the span he is believed to have been stricken ill and fallen without uttering a sound. Fellow workmen saw him fall and noticed that his body came to the surface once before it finally disap- peared. When the body came to the surface, the saw being used by Ston- er was still clutched in his hand, em- ployes told Glen Wiley, member of the construction firm building the span. Efforts were immediately started to recover the body, but without suec- cess. Several boats were secured and the spot where the body disap- peared was dragged thoroughly until nightfall. Efforts to locate the body were resumed in the morning. Stoner, a carpenter, had been em- ployed on the bridge since work be- gan last spring. He had been room- ing in York since he accepted em- ployment at the project. The unfor- tunate man was a former resident of Florin. His son Harvey Stoner, now resides near Manheim and a daugh- ter, Mrs. Walter Zerphey at Stauff- ertown. He was the fifth man to die on the construction job, eet Stolen Car Recovered Last week we mentioned that Mr. John L. Murphy's sedan was stolen from its parking place at Lancaster.
