In New Orleans seven O'Clock last night two
Italian organ grinders, Vincent Mongolia and
Salvedo Tercicie, were standing at the corner
of 81. Louis and Charities streets. Tercicie was
turning the crank of his instrument, at the
time. Mongolia, awaiting his turn, leaned
against an electric light pole. There was o
flash of electricity, and Mongolia fell dead at
his comrades feet. Tercicie dropped the organ
and stopped to pick up the dead man. AS soon
as his hand came in contact with the body OF
Mongolia he received a powerful shock, knock.

was found that his hand was burned to q crisp.
Investigation showed that Mongolia had leaned
against hoisting wire running along the pole
from the main wire to the ground, and his body
became entagled in II, when he fell; hence the
shock TO Terclcie. The wire is just being strung

The Presidents Good Right Arm.


44S TIMES WITHOUT FALTERING
The Presidents courage must have failed him
when he entered the east room at quarter of
two o'clock to-day and faced five hundred peo-
pie crowded together, ready to make an attack
us soon as he put in an appearance. The at
tendance this afternoon was much larger than
at any of the Presidents receptions held
since Inauguration. Many of those present had
compassion for the President and decided to
ioreg0 the pleasure of grasping his hand. Four
hundred and forty-eight, however, passed be-
tween the ushers and received q hearty hand
snake. The largest previous number was
24O: The President entered upon his
work in earnest and did not falter
once in the pump. handle motion of his right
arm, and the last arrival received as hearty q
shake as the first He disposed of the four
hundred and forty-eight in sixteen minutes,
averaging sixteen shakes minute.
One OF the last callers, lady,
said that If she hadn't been so anxious
to see him she would not have imposed upon
him. tor he must be tired out. The President
replied pleasantly: 'Oh, no, this is the easiest
time have during the day." One gentleman
shook hands impressively with one of the
ushers, thinking he was the President. He sub
sequently saw his mistake and returned to cor
rect it. Another gentleman insisted upon
whispering in the Presidents ear, and the
President, after trying in vain to get out Of
reach, told him to call tomorrow.
