They had worked down, lowering the awinging scaffold as they went until they were eight feet above the roof level. Graff, at the north end of the scaffolding, was directly over the pavement of the front yara of No, 1M. Tholen, at the other end, was over the roof of that bullding, which is three stories high. The rope at Tholen's end parted, The rope at the other end was and the scaffold sagged out of it, Tholen fell with the turning scaffold and was crushed beneath it on the roof, six stories below.

He hung swinging over the street, choked by the rope, so that he could not yell tor help.

She is in the best of spirits, and mays she has forgotten De Mumm.” LONDON, June 3—Walter de Mumm, the well known French sporting man, and Miss Floremce Scoville, daughter of C, C. Scoville of Seneca, Kan., were married at noon to-~day in the fash- fonable Church of St. George's, Han- over Square. 0 greatest Interest was taken in the wedding owing to the dramatic incident which occurred last December in Paris, when in the course of a struggle with Mra, Marle Van Rensimer Barnes, an American woman, Walter do Mumm ro- ceived two rather serious bullet wounds, Mrs. Barnes afterward disappeared and De Mumm did not prosecute her. The attack on him was sald to have been brought about by his announcement that he had come to bid her farewell, A report was spread here to-day through @ story told by Josephine How- rd, an actress, that Mrs, Barnes had threatened to kill herself in Paris at the time De Mumm was married here because he had deserted her for an- other. Miss Howard was quoted as saying that yesterday sho received from Paris packages containing Mri. Barne's furs and jewelry, and a letter saying she Intended to commit suicide to-day.
