fruit stand at thu corner of Houston
aud Chrystie streets, in front Of Frank
Patterson's saloon, in New York City,
was instantly killed II night recently
by contact with an electric light wire
belonging to the United States electric

awning to clean out the gutter, and in
doing so slipped on the awning, the

him were some thirty wires strung from
a pole along the edge of the awning.
He fell over against these, his neck
| resting on the second one nearest him.
He grasped another wire with one
hand and was instantly killed,
He uttered II cry, it is said
as he fell, which was heard or
the sidewalk. George Albig, keep
err of a shooting gallery, was passing
bv at the time, and at the risk of his
life attempted twice to drag Mecci's
body of the wires but received such
violent shocks himself that he was
compelled to desist. Mecci was dread
fully burned about the neck and throat
and burns were also found on biz
elbows and feet. His body rested Oh
the wires for about ten minutes, as he
could not be removed until 3 linemaI

A Snake Broke Her Arm.

A Reading special of April 20 is rs-
sponsible for the following: This morn
ing Mrs. John Davis, residing in Cumru
township, about two miles from this
city, went into her flower garden to
arrange for the protection of her young
plants from the drenching rains. Lit.
Ing an earthen pot, which was turned
upside dowD, from the ground, she was
horrltied to find curled up underneath 1t
a nest of at least a.dozen reptiles of differ
ent varieties. In her fright she dropped
the pot on the rigging mass, when q
large black snake, measuring 8 feet
inches In length, sprang out, and rapidly
coiling Itself around her right arm, actu-
ally broke 1t, at The same time forcing
the blood from the end of her fingers.
In her agony she cried for help, and q
son coming to her assistance cut the
snake in two with his pocket knife when
1t rellLquished its grip, and a short time
afterwards was numberd with the reptiles
that had been. Five OF the other snakes
were killed, but number Of them escaped.
The woman is prostrated as much from
the shock her nervous system sustained
as from the injuries to her arm, and fears
are entertained that she will lose her
reason.
