George Washington SALISBURY
1902 - Big Freight Elevator Falls at Osborne's

One Man Killed and Three Others Injured Yesterday Afternoon

Lift Dropped From Within Three Feet of the Top and Men Were Thrown Beneath Mower Wheels, With Which It Was Loaded - One of the Injured Was Taken to the Hospital to Die and the Other Three to Their Homes

One of the large freight elevators in the shipping department of the extra building of D. M. Osborne & Co. fell yesterday afternoon and four men were injured. They are:

George W. Salisbury, the well-known bass singer, of No. 1 1/ 2 Lewis street

F. B. Harvey

George Tuff

James Farrell

The elevator was loaded with reaper and mower wheels and, according to the best information obtainable immediately after the accident, the lift was within three feet of the top, the fourth floor, when the machinery gave way and it fell. The descent was not rapid but when the lower floor was reached, the elevator toppled over and precipitated the men and wheels into the pit below.

The wheels fell on the men and it took some few minutes to get the injured out of the pit and to the floor above, where Dr. D. F. Armstrong, after a cursory examination, ordered Harvey removed to the City hospital. Salisbury, who ran the elevator, Tuff and Farrell were taken to their homes in carriages. Dr. Crevelling also arrived before all the men had been removed.

No definite idea as to the extent of the injuries of the men could be obtained but all were badly bruised and it was said all were suffering from shock and injury to the spine.

No explanation as to the cause of the accident was given by the employer.

One Dead

Later - Harvey died shortly after his arrival at the hospital.

George W. Salisbury and George S. Bentley
