KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
a Boy Grabs Wire at Fire and
Drops Dead i'll His Tracks.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ia slight fire
occurred In the vicinity of Second street
and Germantown avenue this afternoon,
and in order to facilitate their work, the
firemen were obliged to cut the electric
light, and other overhead wires. After be-
ing cut, telephone wire became crossed
with one of the electric light circuits
and gave out a brilliant spark. A
12-year-old boy, Theodore Hemmelman,
thinking that piece of rope was burning,
took hold of the sizzling wire and dropped
dead in his tracks. Great difficulty was
dent of the electric light line in removing
the wire to a point of safety, as the full
current was on at the time
A CARPENTER A VICTIM.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec 17.-Wash-
while engaged this morning in making
some repairs to the skylight of the Western
Union building, was killed by shock from
a wire of the electric light company. An
insulator holding an electric wire to the
skylight was found broken off, and on the
neck Of the dead carpenter was found
deep scar about two inches long, showing
that his neck had come in contact with the
wire and had scraped upward as he fell.
The full current was on at the
hour he went on the roof and a
drizzling rain was falling. He
had slipped on the wet roof, the dampness
of the wire and his shoes in connection with
the tin roofing completed the current
Coaxum lay with his head against the para
pet with his hatchet in his hand. His face
was bruised and made bloody by the fall,
although the cash burned by the electric
current had not brought blood.

AUGUSTUS BOAT LINE.
The Company Bound to Run 1t Despite
Losses or $4,000.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. IA mass-meet
ing was held in the cotton exchange to-day
to consider the condition of the steamboat
company, which has, through accidents
aud failure of patronage, fallen short Of
realizing expenditures some $500. The
meeting was presided over by President r.
w. Carwill of the cotton exchange. There
were several speeches made, all of which
were OF businesslike turn and advising
the retention OF the boats, even IL levy
should have to be made on commercial
circles. The spirit of the meeting was to
run the steamers next year even il not o
cent was realized. 1t was shown that great
advantage had been secured to the city and
the trade by reductions in the freight rates
OF the railroads since the operation OF
the boat line. Any tying ur
OF boats was discouraged, ard
committee OF five was appointed to so
licit further subscriptions TO the capital
stock OF the steamboat company, in-as
much as the amount at present in hand was
deemed too small o successfully operate thu
line. Before the meeting adjourned or the
committee was appointed, $500 was sub
scribed in sums ranging from $50 TO $500
The boats have made several contracts 10 do

SELLERS SUCCESSOR.
Cleveland Names a Man Who Is
Terror to Boodlers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The President
to-day nominate Leon o. Bailey of In
diana to be United States attorney fer In
diana, to succeed Attorney Sellers. He
also nominated, to be postmasters, James
O. Howell, at Asheville, N, c.; B, J. At
kins, at Brookhaven, Miss. j. NJ. Goode,
at Pratt Mines, Ala.
Mr.. Bailey has been very active in pro-
curing evidence against Col. Dudley and
the other boodlers. AS district attorney he
will press the prosecution even more vigor-
ously. Hence he will probably not be con-
frmed. The republican senators look very
tenderly upon their Indiana breth. en-. Mr..
Bailey will probably do his wors, anyway,
even as assistant district attorney, but he
would be more effectual as district attorney.
The republicans complain that he is an
offensive partisan.
SPOKE ERRoNEoUsLY OF HARRISON.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 17.-News of the
nomination of Assistant United States
District Attorney Leon A. Bailey
to succeed District Attorney
Sellers, who resigned, occasioned consider
able surprise this afternoon and
evening, and the nomination was the
subject of discussion in the lobbies and
among POLITICIANS everywhere. The repub-
licans claim. without hesitation, that
Bailey's nomination is obnoxious to Gen.
Harrison and his friends, because
of the course he pursued during
the campaign in speaking per-
sonally and, according to Senator Nc
Donald, enormously, OF Gen. Harrison.
The prediction is freely made that the nomi-
nation will not be confirmed.

Col. Atkins of This City to Call on the
President-E Elect To-Day.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1Z.-Col James
Atkins, of Savannah, Ga, arrived in this
city this evening, and will call upon Gen.
Harrison tomorrow. Col. Atkins was
collector of the port of Savannah for
eight years under President Grant,
and was afterward nominated by
President Hayes to the federal district
judgeship, but the senate failed to confirm
him.
A delegation will arrive tomorrow from
Birmingham, Ala, representing manufact-
urers of that section for the pur-
pose of presenting to the Presi-
dent-elect a congratulatory memorial.
They are said to represent a combined capi-
tai of 500 600, 900, invested entirely in the
south. Several of the delegation and many
of the signers Of the memorial are reported
to be democrats who voted the republican
ticket on account of its advocacy of
protection. In the memorial they will
congratulate the President-elect upon "the
success of those principles which caused his
election, because we believe that the pro-
tective tariff will promote and
aid the development of our national
resources. and become an issne, free
from sectional feeling and prejudice, upon
which the people of the south can divide
according to the dictates of reason and con-
viction. We know there are large numbers
in this section who think as we do,
and are only restrained from public express
sion and advocacy of their opinions by a
feeling of uncertainty as to what will be
the policy adopted in the treatment of the
southern problem, and apprehension that
any change in our local government will be
detrimental to our best Interests"

OHIO'S WHITE GAPS.
Nine Lodges in the State with Mem
bership of 900.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA dispatch from
Columbus, O., says: ''Gov. Foraker said
last night that detectives had been among
the White Caps since the first report of
their outrages in this state, and that the
names of all the members and the secrets of
the order had been secured, with such other
evidence as would bring any offender to
Justice. He said that none of the members
had been summoned to his Office, but several
of them had come voluntarily, being
frightened by the possibility of prose
cution and the result of their
visit was that the organization had been
permanently abandoned, and the members
had consented to quit their line of conduct.
The governor said that the White Cap'
were a regular organized secret body, but
that they had no connection with the or
ganizatlon of White Caps in Indiana. They
were divided into lodges, and the entire
order was under general officer known as
the 'colonel." There were nine lodges in
Ohio, with a membership Of about 1000,

NCT TO BE REoRGANIzEp.
Riddleberger Finally Allowed to With
draw His Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator ingalls,
laid before the Senate to-day the resolution
of Mr.. Riddleberger proposing the reorgan-
ization of the Senate after Jan. l. and the
author spoke in support of it. He said It's
object was to put some other than the sena-
tor from Kansas in the chair, asserting that
he had been the chief figure in the most dis
orderly scenes he could recollect occurring
on the Senate floor. He said a change was
necessary in order that the faith
of the Republican party. pledged to
consideration of the British extradition
treaty in open session. might be Kept. At
the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.. Riddle
berger asked leave to withdraw his resolu-
tion, but objection was made by Mr.. Harris
of Tennessee, who moved to lay it on the
table and called for the yeas and nays, after
paying high tribute to Mr.. Ingalls, i'm
partiality and ability. Finally the senator
from Virginia was permitted to withdraw
his resolution, and the incident closed.
EXPECTED CIRCUS.
The well-fllled galleries had high expecta-
tions when they learned that Mr. Riddle
berger was going to speak on bis reorganiza-
ton resolution to-day. Thoy were very
much disappointed by the mild assaults
which he made on AR. ingalls,, and the
silent contempt with which Mr.. ingalls,
treated them. Contrary to the general
expectation Mr.. ingalls, did not
come out Of the chair at all,
but sat there throughout Mr. Riddle
berger's attack aud Mr.. Harris tribute.
The republicans were very uneasy until
Mr.. Riddleberger finally sat down, not at
what he said, but at what he might say.
But being comparatively sober he did not
seriously embarrass them. They hope TO
keep him quiet until March 4, when his
term will expire and respectable John s.
Barbour, the democrat leader IN Virginia,
will succeed him.

ing of His Successor.
LONDON, Dec. 17.--In tho House Of Com
mons tonight Mr.. Labouchere moved that
a reduction of 81 900 be made in the salary
of the British minister at Washington. He
then censured Lord Salisbury for his delay
in appointing a successor to Lord Sackville,
and for his unfriendly attitude toward
America, which the speaker maintained
was especially shown in the premiers speech
at the lord mayors banquet.
Sir James Ferguson said he regretted the
tone OF Mr.. Laboucheres remarks and that
it was impossible to enter fully into the
matter now because it was only within the
last two days that the government had
been placed in possession OF the reasons for
Lord Sackville's receiving his passports.
NO DISPOSITION TO SHEER.
He denied the truth of Mr. Labouchero's
assertion tnat there was a disposition 10

the sympathy and friendship between the
two nations were too sincere TO be affected

declaration of an intention 10 delay the

president was installed has been made.

to hear the last statement. He urged that

ately appointed.

1t was inconvenient at present, he said,
