DROPPED ELEVEN STORIES-
A AUn Falls 145 Feet nj Lives t Describe
His Sensations.
Washinutos, 1. C, O.-toWr 14.
Albert Dealt, a steam titter, fell from
the eleventh story of the new Schnei
der Hat:), in this city, l the basement,
a u i escaped without injury. At the
ground floor the small i f his la.-k
struck a heay beam, which makes his
escape the more marvelous. He turn
ed two or three somersaults as he hot
down to the ground. Two or three
times his head graz-d projecting iron
beams, liter and over he went, and
as he Btru. k that I t-am. after a d.op
of 14." feet, the f' ree of the blow is
ed limi to bound back 2 or 3 . .-t.
Then he fell to the .ellar limp and
apparently dead. Several workmen
on the first floor, who had heard Deale
strike the beam, ran into tin base
ment, eip.cJiug to find their friend
unconscious and mangled, if not ac
tually dead. As they approached
le.tle, he got up, looked da.ed for a
Moment, then said slowly, as if he
could hardly find breath : " I fell oil'
the eleV atur."
The men lifted him, and he started
to walk. 5ut after two or three steps
lie become deathly sick and sank to
the ground unconscious. His friends
thought he was dying from the shock,
and ran for a doctor and a priest. Dr.
Weaver returned with men, and found
Deale recovering rapidly, only com
plaining of a bad pain in his ba k. A
Jin sty examination showed that no
bones were broken. There was n
braise where he had struck the beam.
1 ut the skin was not la crated. The
sickness resulted from extreme fright
and dizziness, caused by the lightning"
like drop through the air.
For hours he had all the symptoms
of an aggrawitedattaek of sea sickness
and could not swallow even lime wa
ter. He complained a little of the
pain in his back, but thought lightly
of it. Dr. Wenverassured him he had
received no internal injuries. Deale
told the story cf the fall. " I could
not help it," he said, " the elevator
gave a lurch, and 1 was thrown off. 1
knew 1 was turning over and over, and
thought I would strike against the
sides of the shaft. 1 thought 1 had
reached my last Moment, and I was
rattled. I could not get my thoughts
together. 1 seemed to think I ought
to grab hold of something and save
Myself, and then 1 would think it was
no use, and that it was all up with me.
Then I hit the beam, and that's all. 1
was going down on the elc-va-tor to see
about some steam beaters."
A Curious Suit For Insurance.
A curious action arising from a re
markable accident at a German chemi
cal works is about to puzzle the Her
man courts. Conrad Wtuhner enter
ed the works with a lantern. An ex
plosion occured, followed by the burst
ing of the acid tanks, and nothing has
since been seen of tbe man, not even a
shred of clothing or a morsel of his
fojdy, Wuchner was insured, and the
widow cl.iinu the amount of his policy,
but the company declines to pay on
the ground that there is no proof of
death.
A chemical analysis at the Hooded
works after the explosion revealed
traces of animal matter, such as dis
solved bone,-'butty the insurance com
pany declines to accept such a novel
proof of death, be a use, among, other
things, the analyst cannot swear that
the liqu fled bone was the bone of a
human being. The unhappy widow
was saved the expense of a funeral,
but in every other respect, she is a
badly used woman, and public-sympathy
is taking the form of subscriptions
to help her to light the insurance com
pany. . ...
