Morris, who resides on East 13th St, met with a fatal accident yesterday evening. He was a carpenter and engaged at work upon the roof of the residence lately occupied by the family of the late Dr. Palmer, on West Main Street and the alley between Broadway and Third, when he made a mistep and fell to the ground, a distance of about twenty feet. He struck on his side upon a pile of brick, fracturing two ribs and driving them into the internal vessels, and also injuring his spine. He survived a few hours in unconciousness, when death ended his sufferings. He leaves a family. Deceased had been a resident of New Albany for about four years, coming here from Kentucky. Coroner Lemon held an inquest today, returning a verdict of accidental death.
