DEADLY ELECrRICLIGnT WIRE.

1IncInnall Comm6rcI7l GRlettc'

Joseph Bohlman, % years of age, "a
mechanic in the employ of John III.
MCGOWAN q Co, was instantly killed
at 8 80 p. M. yesterday, on a roof OF
the Gibson House, by contact with the
large electric.hght wire This is the
drst fatal accident of this kind in the
city, though many persons have been
severely shocked.
The victim had been sent by his
employers Of the pump works 70 take
an order from the engineer OF the
Gibson House for a condenser for q
steam pipe over the laundry. II was
found necessary for him TO ascend TO
the laundry roof, at the north side Of
the house, in the rear, and thither he
went, accompanied by The engineer,
Mr. Theodore Fells, This roof, zone
Of the highest Of the buildings, they
reached through scuttle. 1T has
considerable of pitch on both sides,
to north and to the south. Their busl-
ness lea them to the northwest corner,
and they had to descend the slope of
the tin roofing. II was wet ia places
from escaping and condensing steam.
Bohlman slipped and was about to
fall when he Instinctiyely with one
hand caught at wire IN the way.
This was the deadly wire Of the clec-
trio light He must have been greatly
shocked by the contact of one hand,
for he Immediately clutched at the
wire with the other and death wasin

the situation, and when the man fell
to the roof picked him up and found
him already dead Mr.. Bells was
aware Of the danger of the WIRE, hav-
ing had few. slight shocks himself in
the last year or two. 1t is believed
that Bohlman was also intelligent on
that subject But, as the drowning
man catches at the straw, SO he
cutched at that terrible wire TO save
himself from q fail There was no
time for him to think what the wire
might be there for; it was there;
stout wire, and he grasped it, OF
course, Fells had no time TO think and
warn. He says that doubtless he
would have made the same fatal mis-
take himself under the circumstances.
Had the wire not been there Bohlman
would not have fallen from the roof,
as il ran down against another wall.
TIE body was soon taken down 10 a
lower and flat roof on the south,
where the writer saw it. A sheet was
thrown over il and the Coroner was
sent for and viewed it. He did not
decide Immediately when he should
hold an inquest, as the case will evi-
IDENTIFY assume greet Importance.
These wires are stretched over hun
dreds of buildings in the city, and if
they are generally as dangerous as
this proved itself to be, through in
adequate insulation, questions grow
ing out of this fatality may become
general and broad
The report last night from Singers
& Norman, undertakers, by whom
the body was washed, was that the
electricity bad not left mark on it.

In the cellar il makes no difference. =
Messrs. Dadant & Sos says: by
all means front your hives south,
southeast or southwest Some will
tell you to front them north, but these
people have never tried ii ON a large
scale, or else they have never tried
both ways comparatively in the same
location. We have tried it once will
inglY and twice by hazard, to our
greatest sorrow, and this on not less
than 20 hives at time. North ex-
posure is not so bad when used for
summer only, as for wintering; but if
you have to take your bees out Of the
cellar early, vixen they need all the
sun, you will soon decide in favor OF
southern exposure. Due east or west
will do better than north, but not sc
well as south.
James Heddop replies thus East

in winter, if left on the summer
stands. will have something to say
regarding the why OF 1t, before th'
year passes.
G.. w. Demareo answers thus
For six years l have had two tene
ment hives containing 4colones each
in my apiary. The 4 entrances &
each Of these tenement hives, fairly
represent hives fronting north, east

Woke Up the Wrong Parrot.
Boston Evening Journal.

Funeral fact and funeral fancy are
subjects prolific of good stories, but
we have rarely met with a better one
than the following, which is vouched
for as a story Of fact. AT suburban
funeral not long ago, the clergyman
was dilating upon the many virtues
of the departed. AS it happened there
was much Justification for it, as the
deceased was man Of large heart and
many merits; yet the clergyman,
probably feeling free TO let his fGrvor

outdid his theme, Not content with
COUGHING his praise IN simple and
straightforward words me mounted to
imagery and seemed TO attribute an
gelic as well as human characteristics.
When at the climax of mis- eloquence,
his hearers charmed with the sweet
incense, the spell was broken by a
shrill voice, which cried out:
"Facts, facts, give us factsl'
The sensible comment came from a
sage and venerable parrot which had
been removed to an ante-room, and
then it was remembered that pr0miu
ent among the virtues Of the deceased
master was a sturdy dislike for hattery
and habit OF sharply rebuking high.

Tue President of the republic, who

his command 80, 900 militia, and could
probably raise force of 40, 600 or 80,
