New York, July in the tall flat Tacomn, 1,187 Lexington avende, were startled at I): 16 o'clock yesterday afternofl* by the noise of & heavy body falling down the elevator shaft. The body of the elevator boy, John Khno, was found at the bottom of tha shaft, in the cellar. His neck and arms were broken, and in his tail hia coat had bean torn to rags by catching on projections from the side walla. The elevator was at the top floor, and on being lowered the two-year-old daughter of the jtnitor, Edward Dawson, was found inside. The elevator generally waited at the 11 rat story, and the boy sat in the hall ready to open the front door or run the elevator. The little girl entered the elevator and cloeed the door behind her. It had a safety lock, which prevented it from being opened on the outside except by a key, and the child was to small to open it on the inside. The boy went to the janitor's room after the key, but the janitor was out \ %. He then tried a danporous experiment. There is an iron crossbar on the bottom of the elevator which was within easy reach. Catching hold of this with one hand he pulled the rope, evidently intending to rise slowly, and, as he reached the next floor, to open the door and stop out. He must have given the rope too hard a pull, as the elevator ascended rapidly and carried him, hanging to the bar, to the sixth floor, where the suddeu stoppage broke hia hold, and he dropped to the cellar. He was IS years old and lived in Thirtyfourth street with hia parents, who could not be notified at once, as their address was not known. ■ t X" "According to somo newspapers," said the governor, "the letter is written, but I u not It will bo time enough to write U alter I have been officially notified of my nomination. No, I have not committed my thought* to paper yet" Nevertheless, it is said that a draft of the letter, subject to revision, probably, is in e xisteuce and has been submitted to several of the ''riling statesmen" within a week. The members of the notification and national committees have arrived. The formal notification loGov. Cleveland will take plaoe at the executive mansion at 8:30 o'clock this a/te0iiQaa. The proceedings will be brief. The chairman of the committee will make a short address, to which Gov. Cleveland will reply. Gn account of the limited accommodations a* the executive mansion, none will be present but the members of the committees and a few personal friends of the governor.It w« learned late in the day, however, Chat the advance in stock# was not the sole oaupo of the suspension. A customer had deposited with them a large amount of forged securities for margins, and when the Arm tried to close out the account it found the securities worthless. At the office very little information could be obtained. Mr. Swan admitted that a customer had forged the power of attorney attached to securities deposited by him as margins. They then thought it best to announce their suspension. 8HOT DEAD IN HIS HOUSE.
