4 Rat shuts on the Elec,ric Light.

From the Chicago Tribune, December 29.I
A peculiar incident occurred on Satur-
day night last at the store OF Willoughby,
Hill a. Co. The firm use II large number
Of electric lights In their building. At II
o'clock, when the store was crowded with
people, the light was suddenly turned
OF, and all were left in utter dark
ness. As rapidly a. possible, the gas
Jets were lighted, and everybody look
ed surprised, none more so than the
members OF the firm. The engine was
running as rapidly as usual. and the dyna-
mos were working elegantly when an in
yestigation was made, still no electric hight
was visible above. Under the dynamo
there stood a rat, with one leg raised up as
il about to take another step. The rat
was dead and rooted to the spot. He had
leaped on one of the copper conductors
underneath the brush, and in stepping on
the other closed the current so that 1t
passed through his body, killing him
instantly, the rat remaining nailed
to the spot, while the entire cur
rent from forty-light brush machine
passed through HIM and prevented it from
ascending above. The machinery was
stopped, the.rat taken OF, and then every
thing was all right again, for when the
machinery was again started the lights
burned as well as usual.

Ano.her Langtry sensation.

II Is rumored In New York that a sister
OF Mr.. Fred. Gebhardt, who is known as
one OF the leaders In exclusive society
circles, has addressed letter TO Mrs.
Langtry imploring the latter to put an
end TO the gossip and scandal which have
been created by the peculiar friendship
existing between Mrs. Largtry and Mr..
Gebhardt, by requesting the attentions and
public manifestations Of devotion so libe-
rally showered by the latter upon the
former. II is also reported that the lady
made personal appeal to her brother to
the same purport, but without effect, as he
announced his determination to continue
his attentions to the "Liiy" as long rs she
condesccnded to accept them. Mr.. Geb-
hardt escorted Mrs. Langtry to the Grand
Central depot Sunday morning, and after
seeing her properly tickcted and seated for
Chicago took leave OF her. 1t Is reported,
however, that Gebhardt viii leave for
Chicago in few days.
