AFatal Fall.
A. Strang* l'aintsr Fell from the
Statu! Pipe, in Chester, a
iIunHreel Fast.
Cheater Lantern.
Saturday afternoon a man fell
front the top of the stand pipe,
which he whs painting, and wa*
in tantly killed, only gasping a
few times after he struck the
ground, lie had painted, perhaps,
a third all the way to the ground,
and had begun again on th* upper
ring. lie was suspended hv a
rope attached to a hook. This
was made of a rod ot iron, half
inch or tire-eighths, bent back
anout S inches at each ei>d to form
hooks. The rope was nttached to
one of these, while the other was
hooked over the rim of Hie stand
pipe When ho wished to more
around, he had pat sons on the
ground to pull the book around
by means of ropes
Sometimes it did not move easily
aim inn i- hi iwicp ioc. < I ' v
lie had tn ip. up nntl move the
hook alnriix with hi* hand. At
tho time of the accident the hook
had straightened out nearly to a
rijrht an<d? It would * ill have
held securely if the rope bud been
hnn<xin?? straight down, lint hein<*
drawn obliquely to the side, it
slipped oil', and the man, with hi*
inroo paint bucket brush, seat
and tackle, fell a sheer hundred
feet upon the bard earth and stones
below. lie was ?oen to ?jasp a
few times, then all was over.
The witnesses say his feet struck
Hist. He was perhaps falling
somewhat sideways, at his head
seemed to hare struck the grounc
with most force. His neck wai
broken and some of his teeth
taocked out, and the right side ui
his head and face was bruised atu
lacerated. 11 is body appeared a:
if the paint had turned over 01
him, as a mixture of blood am
paint ran from his head.
Coroner Gladden held an in
(pest, with C C McAlily as fore
ruan of the jury. The verdic
accorded with the fa?t* atateu
above.
The city authorities took chat*?<
of the body and had it prepare
for decent burial, necessary ar
tides being purchased for th
purpose. It was kept in tin
council chamber Saturday night
ami on the quiet Sabbath after
noon it was tenderly laid t<> rea
in Kvergreen cemetory by strangers
who reflected that the unknew
tramp, as he teemed to be doubt
lass hid loving friends somewhere
at least Ins was a human being.
It whs only by a chance won
' dropped out Friday evening to i
negro that a clue to hit home wai
found, when ho remarked, ''If
were at home in St. L mis tonight,
niv mother would give me tome
thing to cure this cold." Whet
inquiry wasonade in search of i
clue this, remark was quoted. I If
had given his liame at Koberl
bridges. The following tele rra n
r> rj
was sent, by chief W S Taylor tc
the chiof^of police at St. Louie:
''Kobert Bridges, of your city,
killed by falling from etamlpip#
while piinting. Notify relatives."
nswer came:
l,If Kobert Bridget had three
false upper teeth, wire and wf
will send instruct lens.
"Mrs. Bridget."
It was known that three or
four of hi* upper teeth were
knocked out, and after the *ug?
geation, it was believed from
recollection of appearance* that
they were artificial. Mayor liar
din, hownrtr, said there should
he no urn ertainity, and ordered
that the hodj slioidd he taken up
end an examination made hj a
dentist. This eras doae early
Monday morning, Dr. U H White
making the examination. lie
found the supposition confirmed.
