KILLED BY AN ELECTRIC WIRE
A Broken Telephone Line shocks n
Fourth-Avenue Car Horse
TO Death.

People about the corner of Fourteenth
street and Fourth avenue at s o'clock
last night watched the blue and white
flames which at intervals sputtered from
wires interesting above the middle of
the street. Suddenly one of the
wires parted, and the ends dangled
in the street A man who was cross.
ing the street came into contact with the
wire and was thrown TO the ground. The
swapping and cracking flag ends lay un-
guarded in the middle of the street. In
parting their electricity to the rails on
the car track, a line of impromptu fire.
works was set up, aud the bystanders
looked on in amazement. Several per-
sons had their feet entangled in the
wires, but escaped without injury.
A moment later Fourth-Avenue Car
No. 1877, driven by ID. McMahon, reach
ed the spot. MC.Mahon's team got tue
full effect of the powerful current The
horses reared and plunged and their
cries could be heard for blocks A man
rEshed out TO disentangle the wire with
his bare hands, but policeman seized
him IN time TO save his life. The wire
got fastened into the harness of one of
the horses. AS the animal stood on the
wet ground perfect current was esta-
blished, and the brute fell dead. The
remaining horse tore away from his
PROSTATE mate and ran up the street
The police were kept busy restraining
the curious, but for three quarters of an
hour the dangerous obstruction lay in
the street menace to life and block
TO traffic. At last q lineman came,
equipped with rubber gloves, and cut
the WIRE He told World reporter
that the broken wire was one OF the tele-
phone circuits, but would vouchsafe no
further explanation. A continuation Of
the sparks along the unbroken wires led
the spectators TO fear that further trouble
would ensue. They ranged themselves
at distance and waited for develop
ments, but no other accident occurred.
1t was suggested that the trouble was
caused by an electric-light wire coming
in'contact with the telephone wire at
point where the insulation had been
worn of, the stronger current of the cleo
tric-lght wire parting the smaller wire.
The night clerk at neighboring
Western Union Office in Broadway said
that when the telegraph and telephone
wires become crossed with electric-lght
wires at some point in the circuit flash
OF lightning comes from tue switch
board, which might easily result in set
ting the building ON fire.

Death OF General TrimbIe.
baltimore SUM-


The death of Major General Isaac r.
Trimble is an event which will be heard
with regret by all who knew that cour-
teous and brave old soldier Though a
Virginian by birth, he was thoroughly
identified with Maryland, where he
passed nearly all his lie after resigning
from the United States army in 1882,
He rendered most distinguished service
in the Confederate army under Lee and
Jackson, and on the promotion of Cen
eral jackson was made the commander
of the old Stonewall division. He bore a
conspicuous part in the Valley OF Vir-
ginia campaign, and commanded divi-
sion on Pickett's right in the celebrated
charge at Gettysburg, where he lost leg
and was made prisoner of war. Both
in his civil and military career he was
engaged in very important engineering
work. Early in his career in the Confed-
crate service he had charge of military
constructions for the defence of Norfolk
and for blockading the Potomac at Evans
port In his civil life he built the North
ern Central railway to York. He
was for many years superintendent of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more railroad, and was employed also in
the construction of a number of rail-
roads in different parts of the Union.
His long life of eighty-six years was full
OF eventful incidents and brilliant
achievements. His rank as a soldier was
the highest achieved by any of the Mary
land contingent in the service of the
Confederacy, where he was held in the
greatest esteem, as he was here at home
in bis civil life.

Cordyood and Railroad Ties.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dlspatch.I

correspondence OF tne RICHMOND Dlspdtcnsl
ToANo, Va, December 80, 1887
A few months ago gentleman from
New Albany, Ind, having met PENN
sula Judge on the cars proceeded, &C.
cording to the regular blizzard style, to
enlarge upon the great West. After ex-
hausting himself and his theme he po-
ltely rendered our Judge the floor by
asking: (Which are your staple crops?"
The astonishing reply was "Cordwood
and railroad ties" The Judge then
showed how large fortunes had been
made from these industries, and the
land, being simply let alone, would
make another handsome dividend in
twenty years. This little circumstance
has suggested to me that some informa-
ton of what has been done in this line
in this county during this year might
be interesting to your readers:
Cords poplar wood sold 5000, at S5.......t 1900
Cords pine wood sold 10000, at t2.50.....$ 10000
$4,000
The largest dealer was Mr.. Robinson,
who sold 5000 railroad ties, 800 cords
poplar wood, and 5000 cords pine wood,
all off the historic old farm Green
Spring, which he bought in August,
1886, for $l4, 900, and which he has late
ly sold for So, 900, reserving all of the
pine timber. PENINSULA

Executive OF New York's sister city was
busily engaged in winding up his work,
so as TO leave everything in apple-pie
order for Mr.. Chaplin. IL was nearly
noon when carriage drove up TO the City
Hall, Brooklyn, and deposited its freight
on the sidewalk. The freight consisted
of the trsgedian, Anna Deinet- Possart,
and Mr.. Deinet and wife, the brides
brother and sister.in-law respectively.
The party stepped into the august
presence Of the magistrate, and, with q
number Of reporters as an audience, the
German actor and Anna Deinet- Possart
were made man and wife for the third
time.
The bride is q bright.eyed, pleasant
looking woman of forty.five, with hair
on the verge of turning gray. She is not
exactly handsome, but her exterior, to
Judge by the attention paid her by Herr
Possart, was extremely pleasing to him:
Possart himself has outlived the era OF
red -headedness, and his face 10 no longer
freckled aud sunburned. He is tall,
broad-shouldered, typical man, whose
every action tells of vital force. de IN
formed the officiating magistrate that
he and the bride had been mar
ried in Germany, but had been
divorced and therefore considered
renewal of the marriage contract
necessary. After the ceremony the
bridal party again entered the carriage
and repaired TO No. ID st. Marks Place,
the home of Mr.. Deinet. where the ac-
tor left his bride. He then went to the
Belvidere Hotel, where he is staying,
and soon after met Miss Emile Won
Aichsburgand her husband, Nj. Werther,
OF bis company, together with Manager
Amberg, OF the Thalia.
This new party took luncheon together
at the Belvidere, but during the repast
the tragedian allowed no word regarding
his marriage to escape his lips. He had
gone to Brooklyn to escape the curious
eve of the American public, but, having
arrived on these shores only week ago,
made no allowance for the penetration of
the American reporter.
Herr Possart had been married to Anna
Deinet some twenty-five years ago in
Munich, Bav., where Posssrt is director
of the Royal Theatre and holds pro-
fessorshipin the Royal Academy of Arts.
The actors handsome exterior and in
creasiug popularity led his wife to doubt
his faithtulness, and her doubts culmi-
mated in q proceeding for divorce about
ten years after they had been first mar
ried. After two years of separation they
married again, and period of happI-
ness followed, which eventually came to
n similar end to that Of their first sepa-
ration. They were again divorced about
three years ago, and Mime. DeinetPos-
sart came to New York, with daughter
of ten, to live with her brother, Mr..
Deinet, a merchant, who lives at No. 10
st. Marks Place.
1t is now said that twas as much de-
sire to see his daughter and his former
wife that led Frost Possart to visit the
United States as it was the desire for
gain. When the actor arrived here there
was crowd to greet him, but his wife
and daughter were not noticed in the tur-
mol of the occasion. Soon after he had
registered at the Belvidere Madame Pos
sart called on her husband, and they at
once made up, with yesterdays marriage

A Celebrated German Tragedian's
Third Venture.

A New York special says: Ernst
Possart, Germany's crack tragedian, who
is now playing at the Thalia, has been
married three times. Among all the
European stars who have visited the
hospitable home OF the almighty dollar
he enjoys the distinction Of being the
only one who was three times fettered in
the chaips Of wedlock--to the same
woman. In fact, none Of the bright
lights on the dramatic horizon have a
record even approaching that Of this
Teuton. Yet Ernst Possart is only AZ
wears old. He began life as a book
CLERK, after having made 8 failure as 3
student OF theology. Freckled, sun
burned, and red-headed, he ran away
from home and began his theatrical ca
Yeer under. circumstances which the
ornaments OF the "Rialto' curbstone

TO do with the case.

Harold, the four-year old son OF Pay

railroad, and little Cora Robbins, daugh-
ter of Mr.. A. L. Robbins, were playing
near the boat-house adjoining the little
fellows home. Cora stepped on to the
steps used for embarking in rowboats,
and, losing her balance, fell into the
water. The tide was very high, and
naturally she was very much frightened
and screamed at the top of her little
voice. Harold, seeing her dangerous
situation, coolly got down on his hands
and knees aud, holding on with one
hand. with the other reached out, caught
her dress, and by dint of vigorous pull
ing succeeded in safely landing her once
more on terra .fraa, all the time assuring
her that she was safe, saying: Don't
be afraid, you won't get drowned I; I'll
get you out all right and he did.
