HEROISM ON A TELEGRAPH POLE.
A Line -Repairer's Almost Miraculous Escape
from Instant Death.

New YORK. Nov. 25--Frank Allen and Thos
Fitzpatrick, hnemen in the employ of the Long
Island Telephone Company set out yesterday
morning to readjust the wires at the top of an
eighty-foot pole at Washington and Y ork streets,
Brooklyn. The wires had been disturbed by
the big blow on Sunday night Allen, WHO'S
ihirty-two years old, and had been several years
in the business. clapped his spurs and as
cended to the top. Many persons gathered
around and watched his bold and rapid ascent
His companion, also an experienced climber,
watched him from the foot of the pole. Allen
had hardly more than got to the top when
those gathered below raised a cry of
alarm He had laid himself suddenly along
one of the eross-arms and was clutching it con-
vulsively. 1t was plain that something had gone
wrong with him. Even before the cry of alarm
arose Fitzpatrick. who was already spurred for
climbing was shining up the pole like rae
coon. The spectators broke into halfsup-
pressed cheer. 1t was only when Fitzpatrick s
stout hand was laid upon his comrade that there
seemed to be any assurance against shocking
accident Allen was limp, and Fitzpatrick found
him unconscious and in ft Balancing himself
and Allen with his left hand. Fitzpatrick re-
leased rope from his waist with his right and
having placed it around Allen lashed him tightly
to the pole He then quickly descended amid
the cheers of the crowd now increased to over
one thousand for the purpose of procuring
means to lower him Search was made
in all directions in the neighborhood
for ladders but none of sufficient length could be
procured A policeman hurried to the York
street statioI and noJined truck No. 3, of the
fire department, by telephone, and in afew min
utes foreman Peter Campbell came rafting up
to the spot on his apparatus. The patent eXten-
sion ladder. over eighty feet long, was placed in
position. Firemen assembled it and soon were at
the side of the unconscious man, who was un-
lashed and brought safely to the ground. The
rescue being completed, Fitzpatrick was again
and again cheered by the spectators. Allen was
removed in an ambulance to his home. He soon
regained consciousness. The physicians thought
no serious consequences would follow He said
he became dizzy as soon as he reached the top of
the pole and, realizing his danger, he grasped
the cross arm. He remembered nothing more
until he was at his home.

Unofficial Statement that Brands Name Was
Printed Republican Tickets.
CHICAGO, Nov 25.-In the Leman- Brand cleo
tion contest, after protracted argument in the
federal court, to-day, Judge Blodgett ruled that
the ballots must be produced before the grand
jury to be examined. The ballots, however,
are to be canyassed solely with view to ascer
tain whether they have been tampered with in
connection with the vote for congressman, so
that the investigation is not expected to nave
any bearing on the Leman Brand senatorial
fight, except in general way.
The canvass of votes began at 2oclock this af
ternoon. and was not completed until late to-
night. The result of the jurys work was not
made public officially, but the Times
will state that the Brand Leman mat
ter was examined, and that it
showed that Brand, Democrat, received, in fact,
about twenty five more votes than he was cred
tied with on the Tally sheet, while Leman re-
ceived correspondinely fewer making Brands
majority in that precinct about six
ty instead of ten; that the ballots were
all in proper order and consecutively
numbered, and that Brands extra vote over the
other Democrats on the ticket was due to the
presence of some hundreds of Republican tickets
which contained Brands name, not pasted, but
printed in regular form with the rest of the
ticket

RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION.
A Suit to COmpela Transportation Company
to Make Uniform Charges.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 25.-About atyear ago
Scofeld Schurmer & Teagle, oil refners, en-
tered two suits in the Common Pleas Court here
against the Lake Shore Railway Company one
for an injunction TO restrain the railrad company
from discriminating in freightrates on OIL and the
other for 100000 dana ges in consequence of
discrimination in the past The suit for injunc-
ton was tried last winter before Judge Blandin
who held that the defendant, as a common car
rier had right to charge one customer one
rate and another different rate for the same
service. The judge granted the injunction, but
the case was taken to the Supreme Court where
it is now pending. The suit for damages is now
in hearing. The plaintiff alleges seri-
Gus damage in its business be-
cause the railway company transports
oil for the Standard Oil Company at lower rates,
and furnishes to the Standard company facilities
in the way OF cars, switches, side tracks. ETC.,
which it refuses to the plaintiff. The defendant
answers, practically, that the volume of business
given it by the Standard company makes it
profitable to allow a rebate, as said company
furnishes about 90 per cent of all the oil shipped
from here, and, moreover, owns tank cars and
takes all risks of fires The plaintiff alleges
that the railway refuses to allow the firm to
provide tank cars, and has resisted all efforts to
establish equal footing, The plaintiff further
AYERS that it has been prevented from doing
business on account of inability to compete with
the Standard company in the oil markets be-
cause of the difference in rates of transportation.
