HORRIBLE DEATH.

Superintendent Brockway of the Brush
Electric Light Company Killed by
Electricity.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Sept. Super

Electric company was instantly killed
here last night by an electric shock re-
ceived while he was engaged in repairing
the electric lights at the Nicollet house.
The superintendent was repairing light

lobby OF the hotel, and supposed that the
current would not Re turned on from the
central plant until he was through, but
the operator had failed to receive his in
structions, and at 6 80 O'Clock turned on
the current as Mr.. Brockway touched
wire with pair OF nIppers. There
was slight fash, and he fell back

caught in the arms Of a lineman and MUIR
INJURED, Send for doctor, ;" and In few
minutes later expired. This is the second
accident of the kind that has occurred
within a few days.
The victim of this inexpressibly sad &C.
cldent WAS about 81 years of age, and
single. He was regarded as most com
petent electrician, and while perfectly
familiar with the dangers Of recently
discovered Illuminating systems, was ex-
ceptlonally watchful in guarding against
accidents to the men under his control
Early in life he was in the employ of the
Remington Arms company, of Ilion,

Special to the Gazette.
VINITA, /. T., Sept. Cat an early
hour this morning our town was treated
to what is generally believed to have been
u bogus visit Of vigilantes. Some days
ago q negro named Israel Collins was ar
rested and placed in the city calaboose
on suspicion that II was he who burned
the public school building on Thursday
night. The evidence was by no means
complete, but II was gradually being
strengthened and the offer of a $500 re-
ward for the apprehension and convic-
tlou seemed to stimulate the energy Of the
local officers. No fears of a rescue were
entertained. This morning cries of ooh,
Lordy!" proceeding from the vicinity Of
the jail, were followed by six sharp pistol
reports, then perfect quiet. Our citizens,
adopting what they thought thes course
OF prudence, quietly remained Indoors,
presuming that the devil was getting his
dues. Subsequent developments have gen
orally satisfied the people that Israel was
really taken out OF bondage by his friends,
and the shrleks and shouts vera simply a
ruse devised for the effect they pro
duced. The fact that this town was
some years ago noted for attending TO
these little matters in the highest style of
the art when perfect order was univer.
sally maintained satisfied the older inhab.
ttants from the start that this case was a
fraud, The reward still stands,

The New Postal Card.

The new design of postal cards con-
sists of one piece of engraving instead
of two pieces, as on the present card
A head of Jefferson, miniature por-
trait after the original in the state de
partment, occupies a central place on
the upper third of the card Over
this head, in light letters ARE the
words "United States" In panels,
supported by scroll work at the left
and right, are the words postal card
10 distinct letters zone cent, and be-
meath the border line inclosing the
designation of value is the line Moth
ing but the address is to be on this
side" The design is graceful and
light, and its advantage over the old
one is that the idea of putting the
stamp off at one side and the desig
nation of the article at the opposite
side is abandoned to secure an inclu-
sive design with the strongest feature
of it in the centre. The postmaster
general may decide to print the new
cards on white paper, i'll black ink,
for the reason that white paper fur
nishes a better ground for wr ritten
characters, helping the post office
clerks who are compelled to deci pher
addresses,l aud for the other rcAsor
that the brown ink is complained o.
by the printers who use it as more
troublesome to obtain good work
with than the same quality of black
ink. AS there is a stock of about II,
100000 postal cards now on hand it
is probable that the new cards vii
not be out for a month or two.-Al-
tona Tribune.

Some time ago an American wag
wrote an account of a gelatine shirt
that Edison had invented. 1t was
said to be made of thin sheets OF
gelatine, each sheet to be taken off
when soiled, and there were enough
sheets to make the shirt last year.
This yarn was printed in various
newspapers and at last in Brazil. "The
gullibility of the South American
may be appreciated" said Mr.. Edison
in recent interview, "when it is
known that soon after the shirt story
met their eyes the Brazillians began
to send me drafts and checks for
shirts. One idiotic diamond dealer
sent me a draft for f100 on the
Bank of England. He wrote that he
didn't know how much the shirts
were, but he did not think they ought
to cost ever hundred pounds
apiece"

Temperance.
Contributed By TUE ". c. T. Q.
Cigarette SIM OklDg.

The local representative Of a large South
ern tobacco house, in New York, speaks as
follows regarding the poisonous character of
cigarettes. He says in answer to the ques-
tion, Are cigarettes very injurious "The
amount OF drugs used in doctoring them is
appalling. There is q certain kind of cigs-
rette, regarded as one Of the most salable
in the market, in which eneryating drugs
are used to frightfui extent. Millions Of
| these cigarettes are sold annually. One
house in New York sells, on an average
6, ,00O, 900 day and the profits of the pro-
prietor of the brand are said TO be third Of
million dollars year. Valerian and
tincture of opium are extensively used in
the manufacture Of the cigarettes. The to-
bacco, which is Virginia production and
naturally OF straw color, is rendered dark,
soggy and greasy by the process to which it
is subjected. An experienced tobacconist
can detect the presence of vslerian by the
smell. The drug imparts sweet. soothing
effect, that in little time obtains II fasci-
mating control over the smoker. The more
cigarettes he smokes, the more he desires
to smoke, Just as is the case with one who
uses opium. The desire grows into q pas
| sion. The smoker becomes a slave to the
enervating habit. To the insIdous effect OF
the drugs is attributed the very success with
which the particular brand has met. Unfor-
tunately, that has caused an army Of imita-
tors to spring up and nearly every day
some new brand is placed on the market.
BY the use of drugs it is possible to make
very inferior quality of tobacco pleasant.
They are put on the market at such price
that the poorest can easily procure them,
and boys go In swarms for them. The 'Ha-
sana favoring' Is made from the tongua
bean, which has become quite an article of
commerce, aud is extensively used in the
manufacture of cigarettes There are three
sorts of paper wrappers in common use,
made respectively from cotton, linen rags,
and from rice straw. Cotton paper is made
chiefly in Triests, Austria, and the linen
and rice paper in Paris. The first, manu-
factured from the filthy scrapings of rag
pickers, Is bought in large Quantities By the
manufacturers, who turn 1t into pulp, and
subject 1t to a bleaching process to make it
prssentable. The lime and other substances
used in the bleaching have a very harmful
influence upon the membrane Of the throat
and nose. Cotton paper is so cheap that a
thousand cigarettes can be wrapped at a cost
of only two cents. Rice paper is rather ex-
pensive. Tobacconized paper is manufsct-
ured. 1t is common paper saturated with
tobacco in such way as to initiate the
veins OF the tobacco leaf very neatly. 1t Is
used in making sll-tobacco cigarettes. Ar
senical preparations are also used in bleach
ing cigarette paper, and oil of creosote is
produced naturally as a consequence of COM
bustion. The latter is very injurious to the
throat and lungs, and is said 10 accelerate
the development of consumption in any one
predisposed to the disease. The Inde-
pendent.
