GOING DEEPER AND DEEPER
Still No Rock Bottom for the Platt Street Bridge Piers
Great difficulty is being experienced in finding rock-bottom for
the east piers of the Platt street bridge. Several times after going down a
number of feet through gravel the contractor seemed to strike a good rock
foundation, but further work showed that only a large boulder had been reached.
Already the excavation has attained a depth of twenty-three feet. As the
contractor is paid by the yard this trouble will increase the cost of the bridge
considerably above the original estimates. City Surveyor PEACOCK says the
increased cost will run up in the thousands of dollars, but just how much cannot
be known until a good foundation is finally reached.

At 7:30 Monday evening, Isadore GILLISPIE met a frightful death

156, going south. Just before entering the Olean yard limits, about a mile north
of the Erie crossing, he left the caboose to make a cut-off, and was not seen
again alive, it is supposed that a misstep threw him between the cars, and the
wheels passed over his body, which was found severed in twain and horribly
mutilated beside the track. Supt. DWYER, on whose division the accident
happened, was wired at once, and sent a man named SMITH, on train No. 160, to
take Brakeman GILLISPIE'S place. When train No. 160 was crossing the Arcade

ground, a distance of forty feet, and was killed.

A singular tragedy was enacted here on Sunday evening, when the

placed the gun on the table and with a stick struck the weapon, discharging it.
The charge entered his side and passed out of his back. His parents arrived soon
after, when he told them what he had done. Drs. JACKSON and ZURHORST were called
and succeeded in removing most of the shot. It is not thought he can recover,
although he is alive at this writing.
