Loss OF Life by Telegraph Wire
Coming In Contact with Electric
Light Wires.
Apropos of the fact that the Brush
Electric Light company secuted the idea
Of the danger arising from the possibility
of telegraph wires falling on electric
light wires, as claimed by the Western
Union Telegraph company, the following
from the ScteatTic american of Jan. IA,
will be of peculiar interest:
In New York, recently, people passing
along the east side OF Union square
about o'clock in the evening, were at
tracted to small but brilliant pyrotech>
mic display made by one of the telephone
wires crossing Fourth avenue at Four
teenlh street. Suddenly spark larger
and more brilliant than any of the others
flew from the wire, and a team of horses
drawing car No. 1877 of the Fourth ave-
cline, W ich was passing under the wire
at the time on the uptown track, began
to dance and prance about One of the
horses the next moment dropped to the
pavement RS though il had been shot, and
the driver noticed that the thin telephone
wire was broken and wound around the
animals legs and neck. He jumped from
the cur and was about to tear the wire
from his horses neck, when Officer Kair
eser, who happened to see the occurrence,
held him back. 1t was then discovered
that the horse which had fallen was dead,
aad the deadly character in the broken
wire thus being demonstrated, there was a
lively scatteringof the crowd in all direc-
tons Officers Kaieser and Hass succeeded
IN taking the harness from the live horse,
and saved it from the fate of its mate.
Travel was delayed on the Fourt avenue
line for over II half hour. Finally man
came along with ladder, and with
huge pair of rubber gloves on his hands
He climbed the LADDER, which the pOlice-
men held as far from the dead horse as
possible, and cut the wires, The circuit
was thus broken and the danger re-
moved The horse was quickly hauled
from the track and travel resumed.
The accident WAS caused by the tele-
phone wire falling upon the electric
light wire, and becoming impregnated
with the strong current OF the latter.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan 10 "A very ro-
mantle story is being circulated about the
city. II Is said that Miss Lizzie Melville, a
beautiful young lady living with Mrs.
Burns, at Second and Locust streets, and
who was married to Harry Walker few
days ago had been carried away by her
father during her husbands absence and
placed in n convent in California. Lizzie
was young and capricious and accepted two
offers Of marriage and had two weddings set
for the same day. Two licenses were issued
and two banls and two suppers engaged.
There was but one welding, one supper, one
happy man, and one man left Now the
question is whether it is better to be married
and have no wife or not to be married at all.
Both the disappointed lovers claim the other
fellow was left

AIazy aIan,s ingenuity.

A Kingston man, who keeps horse,
takes a ride every morning before he
goes to work. The only drawback is,
the horse must be fed and vatered before
the ride can be taken. Heretofore the
man has been forced TO get up at an early
hour, go to the barn some distance away,
to care for the horse. Lately he has ar
ranged a bin and hopper, containing oats,
over the feedbox, which can be operated
by touch of q door knob on the wall a
few inches from the head of his bed.
An arrangement is also made for let
ting on water in the pail, by which the
horse is watered. When the man wakes
up in the morning, at that time when he
feels that second nap would be a great
blessing, he pulls tho knob, which turns
on the oats and water. and then quietly
lies back on his pillow and goes to sleep.
Some would call this man lazy, but
others would say he was an ingenious in
dividual.-Kingston Freeman.

first principles of agriculture as apple
able to their climate and soil, the govern

bracing simplicity, brevity and freedom

manual calculated to create il the minds
of the youth early and intelligent interest
in the soil, and in the profitable cultiva-
ton of products that will command q
ready home or foreign market. The
work must be emincntly practical, and
entirely free from untried or doubtful
theories. Agriculturist.

Keeping Warm by Force of VIII.

A young acquaintance of mine pro-
fesses to have made a great, though acct
dental, discovery during the late cold
spell. By some misfortune he was de-
prived for two days of his winter over
coat, while it was in the hands of reno
vator this is not euphemism for q
pawnbroker, nor yet does it mean tailor.)
I believe that he has no ulster, and what
had become of his thin ovcrcoat l don't
know. Perhaps it IS q tiifle shabby, and
he was too foolishly prou'! to use it. At
all events, during Tic = two days he wore
no overcoat, but he tells me that he kept
warm through sheer force of will. By
means of some subtle action of mind
upon body, which he finds it difficult to
analyze, he forced his blood to circulate
and his skin to retain its warmth in
degree quite sufficient to make up for the
want of an extra covering. / have no
doubt that there is quite as much in this
as there is in the mind cure, and sup
pose it is partly in reliance upon this
psychological process (and partly, I I'M
derstand, by the aid of surreptitious
waistcoats and the Ike that certain of
our young men surprise the world by
discarding overcoatS.-BOston Post.

Manufacture of Locomotives.

The Baldwin locomotive works, in
Philadelphia, last year turned out G53
locomotives, the greatest number ever
turned out by any shop in the Same time.
The highest previous record was at the
same establishment in 1882, when 563
were turned out. Three thousand men
worked 304 days to make the 653 loco
motives, and they completed one for
every four hours and forty minutes OF
working time. If stretched in q straight
line the locomotives would reach five
miles. Since they were established in
1881 the works have turned out 8,975
locomotives.-Ncw Iork-Sun.
