The Scaffold Fell

A narrow escape frona serióos injury bappened at the Athens Theater Tuesday afternooD, when Wm. Neitharuruer, Pred Mills aud William Leonard were precipitated from a scaffolding they were building 40 feet in the air by the supports giviug way. The scaffold was to be nsed by tbe workinen who were going to 'tint the walls of the theater. Luckily the men feil between the rows of seats and beyond some bruises were uninjared. A number of seats were corupletely ruined aud others were more or less broken. The damage doue will necessitate a postponeruent of the tinting of the walls nntil next year as the time is getting so short before the theater will be reopeued and it is a matter that is uinoh to be regretted as the theater goers had begun to congratúlate tbeiuselves that an entirely new looking interior would greet their gaze this season.
