Story Of an Electrician.


Story Of an Electrician.
Buffalo IN. " Newal
AZ the dead OF night Mr.. J. b. Anthony,
Wholesale srocer OF Troy, N. Y, was awak-
ened by his burglar alarm annunciator,
which tod him that his house had been en-
tered through the roof scuttle. He hastily
dresses, rings for policeman, hurries to the
upper story, and hears the burgIsr IN the
servants room, threatening her with Instant
death II she made loud noise.
He was captured, convicted, and sentenced
to Sing Sing prison for ten years.
So said Mr.. c. II. westfall, the electrician
Of westfeld, N. Y, to our reporter.
do city residents generally use burglar
alarms?'
"Yes, all first-class houses are provided
with them, and have never had any dissat-
isfaction from my customers, many OF whom
are the best known and wealihiest people OF
New York, Boston. Philadelphia, and other
large cities"
"Do wealthy men have much fear OF burg
lars?"
.As a rule, wealthy men do not keep val
uables in their house, and yet they arc not
sure that they shall escape burglarious at
tacks, and they don't feel secure without
first-class burglar alarm apparatus In their
house. Every door, window, and scuttle is
connected with the annunciator, and it Is
quite impossible TO effect an entrance with
out the fact becoming at once known"
Don electricians run considerable risk
in handling wiress''
'.Even the most careful OF them sometimes
get n shock. A few years ago, while / was
descending stairs at Elmira, N. Y, with
wire coll in my hand, l felt as IL had re-
ceived the entire charge from the battery.
For over half hour suffered the keenest
agony. i did not know but what had been
fatally injured. After completing my bust
ness circuit, returned TO Boston, and for
eighteen months did not get over the shock.
/ lost my appetite, all food tasted alike. /
could not walk across the common without
resting several times"
my head whirled, and 1 reeled like
drunken man. L consulted the best physi-
clans in a good many large cities, but mono
OF them seemed TO understand my case.
About a year ago 1 was in Albany, and
physician there stated that 1 would probably
not live three months. But to-day" said
MIR. Westfall, and he Strengthened himself up
with conscious pride, $50 far as l know,
am in perfect health. / weigh 10 pounds,
eat well, sleep we'll, feel well, and am well.
One of my old physicians gave me n thor
ough examination a few weeks ago. and told
me that was in perfect condition.
"You are very fortunate man, sir, re-
markell the scribe, to have escaped in
slant death after an electrical shock"
"Oh, it was not electricity that Frustrated
me. It was uremc CONFUSION. For all
my physicians told me l was n victim of n
very serious kidney disorder. And when
they and dozen widely advertised medicines
failed t. benefit me, Warmers safe Cure re-
stored me to perfect health. That prepare
ton is invaluable TO every grade of society,
for ii is a priceless blessing
"1here is no need OF death from handling
electrical wires If, the operators will exercise
care. In our burglar alarm attachments
there is no possible danger from that
