On Tuesday about 10 A. M. during a
thunder storm, several persons were I'M
der the p. o. awning on Main ST., near
the river. The Office of the Valley Tele-
graph Co. was in the P. 0. building near
a front window. Cast.iron columns sup
port the building near one of these the
wire enters. Suddenly a crack, like that
of 4 pistol, was heard and three gentle
men, ncarestthc iron columns, fell There
was no thunder in response to the shock.
Mr.. Fred Wheeler and Mr.. Frank Church
were leaning on the columns and Mr.. p.
IL. Pike was sitting close to one on the
threshold stone Of the door. All fell
instantly. The by-standers in much
alarm raised the unconscious men up and
carried them to Cambrian Hall, across the
street, sat them down, rubbed them, APP
piled restoratives and in 80 minutes they
were right except a soreness of the limbs,
a slight sickness of the stomach, and q
sort of confusion of the whole mental and
physical system. In attempting to de-
scribe their sensations when partly recov-
ering they "gave it up" Mr.. Wheeler's
sock was a little scorched and his foot
made to bleed a trihe. Mr.. Church was
numbed in his arms and legs; Mr.. Pike
was sick at the stomach as pale as though
ready for the grave, and so blind as to dis
tinguish no acquaintance except by the
voice. Much alarm existed for a short
time, but happily, all were soon over it
and good feeling became the order. There
were not many persons about those iron
columns during the balance of the storm!
1t is supposed the wire became ovcr-charg-
ed and passing SO near one of the iron
column conductors, the electricity switched
off. Glass will be placed there, Immediately,
asa defender and no such accident may hap
pen again in a hundred years.
The operator: Mr.. Geo. F. Walker, re-
ceived a shock that satisfied him of the
superiority of nature over mans battery
business. All well now, but it looked
serious fora few moments. There were sew
al persons under the awning at the time.
