Fatal Accident at Oastellar Stroet Yesterday Afternoon. A FRAIL SCAFFOLD THE CAUSE. Owen Ifor and William Jones Fall ¥From the Fourth Story of Merey Convent to the Stone Steps Below. A Frightful Accident. By an accident sudden and frightful, Owen Ifor and William E. Jones were hurled into eternity yesterday afternoon without an instant’s warning. A snap of brenking tim ber was heard, and the few spectators saw two men and a fourth-story seaffolding shoot ing eroundward. Almost before the sense of horror could seize upon them the bleeding, mangled forms lay before them, with life quickly flying in gasps. The scone of the calamity was the Convent of Mercy now being erected on Castellar strect, at the corner of South Fiftoenth. The building is of brick and has three stories and a high basement. The upper story has ateach end a transdept with it gable end towards the street. Between the two gables is piece of roof sloping towards the street, and below it are the stone stops leading from the ground to the first floor above the base- ment. A scaffold had been made. by run- ning a 2x6 joist out of the window in one of the gables and laying two planks with onc end across the joist and the other resting upon the piece of roof referred to. Beginningat the end of the scaffold a row of cleats ran up the roof to its ridge. Several persons saw Ifor and Jonos after the scaffold gave way, but the movements of the two men immediately preceding the fatal moment are not known with absolute and minute precision. It scems, lowever, that Ifor was coming down the oleated roof and stepped upon the scaffold at phe same mo- ment that Jones stepped upon it from the window of the gable. A suap—a crash—the tragedy is complete, The joist broke, and the two men pitched to death upon the cruel steps below. Ifor plunged down with head foremost and struck upon his skull. Jones dropped sidewise and struck upon the head aud shoulders, Ifor guve n few gasps, but the vital spark had fled béfore he could be picked up. His neck was broken, his_ skull fractured and his face bruised. ‘The lifeless body was taken into the building and luid out on two boards. A handkerchiof was thrown over the face pending the artival of the corouer. Jones was tuken.into another room in the building and laid - upon’ &’ earpenter’s bench, His skull was fractured, and his face = horribly mangled, ' thé eyes being .swollen shut. e right arm and both wrists were broken. Dr. Kempor was cailed and said there were also internal injuries, making death only_a question of a few short hours or perhaps minutes. Jones lay upon his right side, a_coat for a pillow, his right arm rudely bandaged and sticking out over the bench, and drew long deep gasps, at each of which the blood welled from the internal injury and dripped from the mouth to the board upon which he Jay It was a sad and sickening sight.

Ifor wi DIAMONDS AND ¢ They Have the Gar- neau and Lalk Burglar. Since the Garneau diamond robbery, De- tective Ormsby has been shadowing several suspicious character Last night he put his hands upon two of them, but one escaped while the other was being secured. The fel- low arrested gave Lis name as k Wilson. He was very deaf, or pretended to be, and said lie had been living in - Omaha and South Omalia for only two months. In his pockets were found 4 variety of supicious articles, Among them w diamond glass cutter and a steel wire shaped, apparently, for use in picking locks, There were also picces of two silver spoons. The handles and the bowls bad been cut off, leaving the pieces between: These things point to Wilson as one of th parties concerned in the burglary of E, F, Lalk's house, at 518 Park avenue, tha dther day. The thieves cut out a paneof glass with a diamond, enabling them to weach in and unfasten the window cateh. *Theie plan- der was silver spoons, knives,” forks and other articles of table servic 1t was ulso remarked that Wilson swers tolerably to the description of the fellow who robbed the Garncau residcice.” The age, size, smooth face aud hat tally. Ho will be confronted to-day with a boy who saw the thief after leaving Garneau’s. He is a tough looking character and the articles found ou him will not lessen suspicion, A Free Fight. If Jack Kellett, the alleged fighter, were in tho paraphrasing business he might murmur: “To get caught in & drunken brawl and be ruu in by the police—such is fawe.” A party of men were drinking last night in a saloon on Dodge et near Twelfth, and just be- fore the closing hour were joined by a couple of fellows employed on the new bridge, The latter kicked up & row at once and threw a beer glass that struck Arthur Rothery., The side of his bead was laid open, and th stream of claret soon covered the loor, One of the bridge men got & welt in at him that closed one eye and knocked his nose galley west, Oficer MeCarthy put in an appea ance and arrested Kellett, James Harmon (known as *Jumbo’), Patrick Maloney aud William ennody, The last two are bridgo men. e Liquor Store Burglarized.

That the quict'lobserver of events may know what some of’ dur prominent citizens, both republican aWd democratic, think of it, Tue Bee reproduded briefly their expressed opinions : ' Charles Ogden—THe ticket is 8 good one. You see it satisfled the old time democrats who have been figittifng the battles of dem- ocracy for a long ttnb. Cleveland is a young one and is surrolfided by s host of young people. Thurman running with him shows that the older men are not forgotten. No better ticket eould have been nominated which would have tended to harmonizo ail differences in the party, The fact of Mor- tor’s not being elected to any position was due to the fact that he was not present when the delegation voted. The others were present and voted themselves in. They didn't know whether Morton sould be present or mot. There has been more made out of Meorritt's being appointed assistant secretary of the convention than there should be. = He was not put there by Boyd, but. by Goudy of Illinois. Merritt is not a Nebraska man, He told me himself he was from Springtield. Goudy wanted Me ritt to get some piace and could not ask ar more for Illinois. 8o he simply asked Boyd that he should not oppose Merritt’s nomina- tion, and Boyd consented, because there was no certainty that Nebraska could have gotten a secretary even if she wanted it, becauso there were only four assistant secretaries to the convention, Merritt was not Boyd's man. Boyd wanted Morrissey in there if he could get him. Governor Saunders—It's a kangaroo ticket, the heavy end hindmost. Cleveland has had n oxl_)mu:nuc as a statesman, Thurman bas. The most that can bo said of the head is that he displayed good sense to let what was good cnough alone. If Hendricks had got in he was pledged to aistribute that sur- plus and he would have done it and mixed matters up badly. Y the republi- ans can beat it. Harrison and Depew can beat it. It is necessary to carry Indiana, and it can be carried only by an In- dianian. If we can carry Indiana and Con- necticut, w we can let New York go. I am not a Gresham man. He may be a good man, but even Joe Medill does not say that he has done enough to let the people know " what he can or could do in such an office as president, The newsof the result of the St. Louis convention reached the court house Thurs- day evening, and reports were confirmed by Recorder of Doeds T. A. Megeath as he whispered with his exhausted and worn out vyoice. “It's true boys. I was there and saw it, and I tell you we had a time. St. Louis was wild, and the demoerats from ull over the country think it is a great ticket. When Mr, Megeath was askcd by a Ber reporter for his opinion of the ticket, he said: “It 1s the best that could have been chosen and the strongest one the democrats ever put in the field. 1t isstrong at' both ends, and f the republicans can beat it they will gain a great victory over the great men.” There were various personal opinions cur- rent as to the ticket and the two men, some of which were given to the Brg, us fol- lows: Judge Doane—Thé'tibket just suits me. It 18 the strongest tickgt: the party could have put in the field. Idon’t know which is the atronger of the two fudn, 1 like them both so well.

Thuitan is a pood old man ar > ought to be re- s been o great 1 for the party and ' deserves the place Judge Wakeley—Give Tie Bee my com- pliments and state that L am out of politics. Idon't hesitate to say, however, that the ticket is an_exceptionaily good and strong one and that either man’ is good enough in the place. Judge Shiclds—They are the men for the place and just suit me. 1 think the party will have an easy victory over any ticket the republicans can putup. Two better mea could not have been chosen. Frank I, Moores—I think they are good, strong men, and we will have to rustle to beat them. 1f they give us Blaine and Har- rison, however, we can beat their choice. We will need every vote th can_get, but i think we will get the first place, Thurman cannot carry Ohio for them and that gives us @ good chance for Indiana, County Attorney Simeral—We will have to hustle to beat the two men they have put I think Cleveland is the man of the Ithough the combination is the best one they could have n and it 15 & stro oue. I think Sherman is our only hopo Gurley—It is a tickot with one great man onit. Thyrmun isa grest man and a great strength to the tic! We beat 1t, how- and will do it casily. The men we want are Depew and Harrison, and the de; won't havea ghostof ashow. ©will say that I think the ticket is the strongest they could put in the field. Adolph Meyer—Gresham, Depew can defeat it, ) lger aud Morton can defeat hurman. John A. Creighton—The ticket suits me, and it's a winning one, sur Max Meyer—It's an ' exc the best thatcould be put up. ¥ h—I think the ticket could be beaten by Sherman and Allison. J. S, McCormick—I think jt's — doubtful if the democratic ticket will be elected. . M. Bartlett—The democrats could not put up a stronger ticket, - Sherman and Har- rison could beat it. Tom Swift—I like the ticket. Tt's going to wintoo. The 't got anything stronger among the republicans, N. K. Shelton—The ticket is weak with Thurman on it. The republicans cun beat it on that tariff straddle. John Francis—The democrats have a very £ood ticket in tho field, and I should not bo surprised if it wero a winner. John Lichtenberger—We have Allison, Alger, Depew, Gresham and Harrison, aud I think either of them could dust Mr, C land’s . Still the democrats put up the had. 11 the_republicans should nominate GreshanrI could vote for him with pleasure, 1f Blainé were running I think I should vote for Cleveland, The democrats have a very eood tigket. s Thomas Swobe—L want to hayve it beaten soundly s0 8 to gebjnagood republican ticket.” Thurman dogguit add much, to the ticket.

London Telegraph: One of the last links which connect this country with what M. Thiers calls the **Napoleonic legend™ is about to bo appod. In August, 1815, the great Napoleon was transferred from the Bellerophon to the Northumberland, of seventy-four guns, which conveyed him to St Hel- ena. Shortly betore that day the Brit- ish government, mindful of the fact that the French emperor had already escuped from Elba, and had been the cause of all the anxiety and bloodshed to which the hundred s and the bat- tle of Waterloo gave rise, made it evi- dent that they firmly determined not to aliow their dangerous and irre- sable captive to get free again, Ac- ordingly they sent a wman-of-war to take m of the Island of Ascension, which is the nearcst land to the rock of St. Helena, from which it is separa- ted by 760 miles of water. Ascension lics nearly in the middle of the South Atlantic ocean, about half way between the coast of Africa and that of South Africa, and is one of the few isolated or single islandson the face of the globe. Like its neurest neighbor, St. Helena, it is a qareen and rocky pot, viginally upheaved from the ocean by oleanic action and tortured by the mysterious force of subterranean fire 1o mountainous peaks and deeply sunk ravines. Although discovered by the Portugucse, who first sighted it on Ascension Day, so far back as 1501, it had remained uninhabited for more centuries, during whieh it vas surrendered by man to the oceupi- tion of the wild vabbit and the moun- tain goat. In 1815 the English minis- try, who had borne the heat and bur- den of the tremendous burden demand- ed from them to put Napoleon down, conceived the id that some foreign power might seize the Islund of Ascen- sion and afford opportunities to one of the emperor’s brothers or sisters to plot or maneuver with a_view to com- passing his escape aud return to ance. oThe British government hadmade up its mind that no such opportunity of cva- s1on should ar It was well aware of the intrigues, I and machinations by which his sister, Pauline, the wifo of Prince Borghese, had contrived to rescue her brother from the custodians Iba, and was flemly resolved that hould not be repeated at St. Hel- Among many other steps taken by Lord Liverpool’s ministry to insure the safety of its prisoners, the Island of Ascension was »d and_ held by an English man-of-wur and its crew in 1815, From that day to thisith mained under the custody of the admirality, which has always appointe oflic to the command of the, and, which hasbeen treated as though it were one of the war ships of the royal navy. Upon it the board of admirality caused a steam factory and 1 1 vietualling yards to be established, to which asmall coaling depot was sub- sequently added. Seeing that many sick sailors were brought o the island in want of medical relief during the pro- acted v s of sniling ships re- turning from India, some excellent hos- pitals were built there for their modation.

The chief exports of the tropical island turtles and birds’ eggs, and, being within the influence of the south- cnst trade winds, its area of thirty- cight square miles is blessed with a dry and ubrious climate. Yet on the entire surface of the island there less than ten acres under cultiva- tion, and, according gto a humorous American traveler, who receutly vis- ited St. Helena and Ascension, the product in which they most sbound is rats of extraordinary size and amazing impudence.
