DEADLY ELECTRIC WIRE
A Cincinnati LIneman Released
by u Fellow Workman

The employees of Havlin's Theater
in Cincinnati were startled by series
of piercing screams. On rushing into
the street they beneld a lineman
employed by the electric light company
swinging from an electric lamp by
one hand. The man whose name was
Lundigran, had just climbed one of the
iron ladders in front of the house and
was proceeding to trim an arc lamp
when in some way he completed cir
cult of electricity. While the Mortified
spectators were hurrying hither and
thither distractedly, none knowing
what to do for the unfortunate man,
his screams of agony grew more faint
until they subsidized into mere means.
Meanwhile a fellow workman who was
engaged in looking after electric lights
on the opposite side of the street, had
seen Lundrigan's peril. He at once
made dash for pole, which he
climed with desperate eagerness. On
reaching the top he turned the cutoff
key, with which every post is equipped
and Lundrigan instantly fell to the
ground. Vigorous use of restoratives
brought him TO in half an hour. AL
though he was suffering greatly from
his terrible shock, Lundigran will
probably recover entirely from his in
juries within few days. He showed
no marks of what he had suffered ex-
cept slight discoloration of the hand
which had grasped the lamp.

JIMMY HOPE GOES FREE
Gov. Hill Decides That He Was De-
tanned Without Warrant OF Law.

Governor Hill, of New York, decided
the case OF Jimmy" Hope, the ia
nous bank burglar. Lately the Gov
ernor gave a hearing TO counsel. Hope
was present in charge of two of In
spector Byrnes' detectives. Hopes
counsel, Lawyer Charles w. Brooke,
OF New York, made the argument
Governor Hills decision makes Hope
for the time being free man. In
view of the facts presented tho Cover
nor has revoked the warrants hereto
fore issued to arrest Hope. Itappear.
ed that Hope was compulsorily brought
into that State from California upon Il
requisition and upon his release from
prison he was Immediately arrested
under requisition from Delaware
Governor Hill has filed an elaborate
decision holding that Hope was en-
titled to a reasonable time to return
to California after his release in New
York, and hence his arrest was pre-
mature. The point OF law is an in
teresting one in regard to which there
have heretofore been many conflicting
decisions. Hope is now in custody in
New York and under Governor Hills
decision he must now be discharged
and given an opportunity to return to
California If he SO desires.

DYNAMITE IN A PRISON.
Walls Shattered But a Stampede
Averted.

Another desperate attempt to dyna-
mite the walls of the prison at Jack
son, Mich, occurred at $3.50 o'clock
on the evening of Nov. 18th. The
convicts had just finished work for the
day when tremendous explosion oc-
Cured in window ledge of the west
cell block, SCATTERING the three feet
walls and creating panic. The aper-
ture was not large enough to admit
man outside. and the promptness of
the officials saved break of the con-
victs. Three convicts, among whom
was Latimer, the matricidc, were found
sneaking in cells, the doors of which
were unlocked, and one of the convicts
threw revolver from his cell as the
guards approached. These three men
claimed to DE sick as "A reason for not
attending night school and remaining
in their cells. They were locked up IN
solitary cells and the officials began
thorough investigation, but say the
convicts under lock and key in the
solitary are the culprits. There was
was great excitement among the Off
cials when the explosion occurred, the
report being heard II mile away. A
double force of guards has been put on
and no further trouble is anticipated.

GLAD SHE KILLED HIM.
Mrs. Southworth and Her Mother

The mother OF Mrs. Southworth who
killed Stephen Pettus, arrived at the
Tombs, New York City, Nov. 25th.
She is a fine looking old lady OF about
sixty years Of age with snow white hair
which formed u striking contrast with
the soinbre black OF her attire. Han

he deserved" were her first words as
she greeted her daughters counsel on
entering his office. Mrs. Martin went
over to the Tombs with her son and
was admitted to her daughters cell
alone. She refused to talk with the
reporters who were present when she
went in. The meeting OF the mother
and daughter was most affecting.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
Said to be HopeiessIy Insane and
Beyond all Aid Of Physicians.

The friends Of Mrs. Harriet Beechcr
Stowe, the famous authOrcss of Uncle
Toms Cabin" have at length been
compelled to admit that she has be-
come hopelessly insane and her end is
a matter of but short time. She has
been now in this condition for several
months. but though thousands saw her
daily few really knew her real condi-
ton. Strange TO say, while her mind
becomes weaker her physical condition
steadily improves, and now attended
by nurse who never leaves her for u
moment, she wanders around spend
ing most of hertimc in pleasant wealth
or out in the open air in the park.
Her malady is inoffensive save that she
is constantly haunted by shadows Of
her dead friends, and is constantly
whispering to these visions, believing
them real, which CHASTITY conduct is
anything but pleasant to her attend
ants. When not thus engaged she Is
singing some old hymn popular City
years ago, Rock of Ages" being her
favorite. Her physicians say she Is
beyond all aid and will gradually lose
all her facilities, dying, most probably
some time while asleep.

THE MORMON CHURCH.
Further Startling Testimony he fore
the Investigation.

In the Mormon Investigation ut Salt
Lake, Mrs. Is, Smith, niece by mar
riage of Joseph Smith, was called rs
witness for the church. She had OIL
ciated in the endowment house, but
knew OF no oath taken to avenge the
blood OF Joseph and Hiram Smith.
Geo. Q, Cannon, the noted Mormon
leader, was called by the prosecution
and identified the circular sent out by
himself and John Taylor in 1883, call
ing on the saints in this aud adjoining
territories TO contribute to the iuna for
the defense Of Mormons charged with
violating the Edmunds law, etc.
Mrs. Gilmore went through the house
seventeen years ago with number OF
others, all OF whom were called upon
TO swear to avenge the blood of Joseph
and Hiram Smith upon the American
nation and teach it TO their children
and childrcn's children to the fourth
generation, Any one who violates the
oath orrcyeals thcsccret woul be killed.
III. w. Lawrence, President OF the
Chamber of Commerce, testified that
he became Mormon In childhood;
came to Utah thirty-nine years ago;
was an officer in the endowment house
several years and was eXcommunicated
in 1869 for questioning the rights of
the priesthood to dictate in temporal
affairs. Persons going through tho
endowment house always took the
oath of vengeance. There was another
covenant to obey the priesthood in all
things, and the penalty Of death at
tachcd TO u violation of the covenants
or revealing the secrets Of the house.
In the time OF Brigham Young the
priesthood was supreme and had con-
troll Of the people in all things. The
church was in opposition to the gov
eminent, and the feelings OF the pco-
pie were being alienated more and
more. Witness and some others start
ed n magazine to disseminate more
advanced ideas, and were tried before
council Of priests with Geo. Cannon
as prosecutor, and were excommuni-
Gated. 1t was claimed for the church
that it was the literal kingdom Of God,
its jurisdiction extending to all things.
1t was expected to control the whole
earth in time, and then Christ was to
oome in person and take charge. When
witness was accommodated he
was doing business of SO, 900 or
$40, 600 Il month, but after the trial
business fell of greatly, and he was
socially ostracised. Tho cross. exami.
nation failed TO shake Lawrencc's tes-
timony.

AN EXPERT SWINDLER.
A Wealthy Californian A Victim of
Over-Con fidence.

Charles Montgomery, owner Of the
American Exchange Hotel, in San
Francisco, CAL, and widely known on
account of his charitable work, made
statement showing that he had been
made the victim of n confidence opera
tor TO the extent of $4,000. Two
years ago a young man calling him

NEWS FROM STANLEY.
The Explorer Makes an Important
Discovery.

McKinnon, the head of the Emin-
Pasha relief committee in London, has
received cable dispatch from Henry
Nj. Stanley announcing his arrival Mt
Mpwapwa, and stating that he expects
TO reach Zanzibar in four or five days.
The dispatch also states that Stanley
has made the important discovery that
there is an extension of the land OF
Myasa.
The British consul at Zanzibar tele-
graphs to the foreign office that Stan
ley arrived at Mpwapwa the 55th day
after his departure from Victoria,
Nyanza, and the lSSth day after leav-
ing Albert Nyanza. Stanley left
Mpwap~a the 18th, travelling toward
the coast by way OF Kemba and Mweni.
Stanley made an unexpected discovery
of real value in finding an extension of
the Victoria Nyan2a toward the south
west, which brings it within 155 miles
of Lake Tanganyika. The area OF the
extension is 10000 square miles.
Stanley has with him $50 persons,
OF whom 296 are Emin's followers.
Stanley lost only Is men during the
march from Victoria Nyanza. He had
four days lighting near Usuakama.
Stanley, in Il letter to the British
consul at Zanzibar, tells of the hard
time the expedition has had and how
many OF the people have died off.
South of Victoria Nyanza there was
continuous fighting for four days. The
natives took an unaccountable preju-
dice against Emin's people, insisting
that they were cannibals. Talking
was useless, as any attempt to disprove
their impressions only drove them into
white heat of rage, and in their mad
hate they flung themselves upon Stan
ley's forces and suffered severe losses
Victoria Nyanza, Stanley says, is
1000 square miles larger than report
ed by Spoke, whose statement regard
ing the size of the lake was supposed
to he an exaggoratiou. Ujija, also,
which Spoke so lightly sketched, turns
out to be very respectable lake with
populated islands.
