Telegraphers' Paralysis and Teleg.
raphers' Mistakes.

Photographers paralysis is an ailment
the most dreaded of all by telegraphers.
1t comes on very suddenly sometimes.
On the night of the election, when the
returns came pouring in, one of the best
men in the New York office was struck
and compelled to give up. There is
hardly an operator of any experience in
that city that has not had touch of it.
Many telegraphers, after serving for
years, are forced to throw up their DO
sitions on account of this form of
paralysis. Apart from the evil effects,
physically speaking, arising from the
ailment, operators trace many mistakes
they make in sending messages, to the
same source. The slightest pressure on
the key will ofttimes produce other than
the letter the operator wishes to indi-
cate. Mistakes are often the cause OF
much annoyance, and frequently loss,
in pecuniary way, as many operators
can attest to their sorrow, as they are
held responsible for mistakes. When an
operator is attacked he soon finds that
lis keen sense of touch has disappeared.

Y, Dec. Another accident has happened on
the new croton squeduct. IL occurred early
this morning at shan No. 8 and resulted In the

of a nfth. The men were descending TO work
in one OF the buckets used for lowering them
down the shaft The start was made all right,
but before the bucket had descended many
feet a cross beam. or billy" as IL IN called by
the miners, used TO steady the bucket, caught
in the shaIt and remained fast until the bucket
had almost reached the bottom OF the shan,
when IL shook loose and came crashing down

OF the unfortunate men. The following men
Were instantly killed: Francis Carr, single,
residence, Glasgow; Frederick Dresser, singla,

When the cross beam struck the bucket he was
Knocked ont. but In his descent fell on n shelv-

sides OF the shan. This in all probability saved
him from instant death. When found ne was

injuries has not yet been learned.
