CAUGHT IN MACHINERY.
Mr. Ellis' Leg Crushed in ths Wheels cf
Elevator at C. & 0. Ofiices.
Mr. Howard Ellis, electrician at thc gen?
eral offices of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
had an experience which came near re?
sulting fatally when he was caught in
tho machinery at the head of the eleva?
tor shaft yesterday morning.
But for the acute ear of the col?
ored man in charge of the elevator, w'ha,
though at the bottom of the shaft, caught
Mr. Ellis' cry of "For God's sake go
back," and stopped thc machinery, he
would have im.ioubti.diy been killed.
However, he escaped.-and while his physi?
cian does not believe there are any bones
?kin is badly torn, and on other parts 01
his body there are contusions and abra?
sions.
Ellis had gone into the attic, where the
wheels of the elevator run on a heavy
platform, and was at the timo tne acci?
dent occurred oiling the machinery. H13
foot slipped, it is said from a board on
which he was standing and in,this way
his legs were thrown between the wheels.
When the coloree', man in charge of lhc
elevator had left the car a little below
?13 first floor and run with all haste
tue five stories he found the door lead?
ing imo that -part of the Bmnifng fae
neath the rooflocked, and while he cotild

Mr. Ellis with his clothes torn off drag?
ging himself down thc narrow stairs, and
so ina minate he let himself out.
Ellis was carried to his homo.'on West
Main Street, as soon as an examination
of his injuries had btcn made by Dr.

ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL
Two Young iV.en Were CharRcd With Ex?
tortion.
Charged with tho attempted extortion
o? money from saloonkeepers for "h??sh
money," for what puniese did not a?>
pear, two young white'men were brought
before Justice Crntch?ic?d in' the Police
Court yesterday. They were J. II. Mor?
rison and W. T. Morrison, alike enough
to be twins. Only two cases are known
where an attempt was made to extort
money, but detectives are now trying
to find out just how many saloon men
?were approached'by the pair.
Their method of operation was through
thc mails. The two who appeared in
court against them yesterday were, C.
Onesty and Pat. McDonough. Each, 're
cr-?ved a letter demanding the immediate
payment of ?10 and vague threats were
made. Just thc nature of these threats
has not as yet appeared. Tho matter at
length reached the detectives.
Captain Tomlinson went to work on the
case and the arrests followed. It seems
that a trap was set by the detectives to
catch the alleged blackmailers. A let?
ter was addressed to J. 11. Morrison and
W. T. Morrison was arrested at the post?
offlce when he called for tins letter. This
led to a confusion as to which was which
| because of the striking likeness between
? the two men. In court, however, enough
i was heard to show the scheme, and then
? the case was postponed until next Wed
I nesday to enable the Morrisons to retain
counsel.
