From the accident in PHILADELPHIA the other
evening u Is reasonable to conclude that there Is
more danger than economy in the electric light. A
1lephone wire which came in contact with an i'm :
properly insulated electric wire. rather wire
used for electric lighting, was surcharged and
action ike stroke OF lightning followed. The
room IN which the discharge took place was almost
Instantly flled with flames. This danger can be
oosiated by proper the part Of those having
charge OF electric wires, but the feeling that a
little negligence may set the house fire or blow

Price McGrath, the well.known
turfmsn, who died the other day
at Long Branch, was famous ex-
pr with cards in the days when
gambling was common on the
Mississippi steamers. The Louis.
Vile Couraer-Jour says that he
gained his first start toward wealt b
by winning $20,0 from an intoxi-
Gated planter. With that capital
he fitted up in New Orleans the
hsndsomest gambling house in the
country. During the war he made
fortune out of his winnings fro m
soldiers Ia st. Louis and New
York. The Cincinnati Enquirer
tells the following story: "While
at Long Branch, not many years
ago, a party of young acquaint-
ances went from Lexington to taxi
in the races at that famous resort.
He met them and invited them to
his gambling house, saying they
could take their meals there when
they wished, and they could get
anything they wanted, and better
than they could find anywhere
else. H0 imposed but one condi-
ton upon them. Said he: AFTER
you have eaten aud drank and
smoked, you will feel like playing
in five or ten. Don't do 1t. l
don't want it, and you will only be
taking up the room Of other men
with plenty of money whom I do
want. II you think you eau win
you are mistaken. We keep u
game open for suckers with plenty
of money. 8" just keep your S.
bills for something else.'"
