ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

No excuse is needed for recurring to the
manifold pens which the modern uses OF elec-
t,icity have engendered. Scarcely day passes
without a startling revelation Of them In some
mart Of the country, and in this city the inter-
walls between fatalities due to this cause are
growing constantly shorter. 1t must soon be-
come evident to ALL even to the unwilling senses
Of the individuals who are kept busy III deny
ing their responsibility, that some rational sys-
tenn of oversight and control is an absolute
necessity One Of the first duties Oh the IN
coming Legislature is to determine what TINS
system shall be- There may have been time
when popular opinion would have justified the
continued existence of the Board of Electrical
Control, though just why such authority should
ever have been placed in such hands 1T is now
hard to understand. But it is to be said that
the fact was not realized at the outset ~ 1t is
now. that we were actually intrusting the
issues of life and death to three men who had
never made pretence OF knowing anything
about electricity Now that succession OF
shocking catastrophes has made the situation
plain, longer neglect to repair great bllmder
will be criminal.
The day after the death of Feeks from con-
tact with a wire in itself harmless The IRIB-
UNE drew the lessen that sudden destruction
was lying in wait wherever an electric wire OF
any description ran. Mr. Edison has since
declared that any metallic object-a door-knoo,
a railing, a gas fixture, the most common and
necessary appliance of life-might at any mo-
ment become the medium of death OF the
reasonab leness of this assertion the Eighth-aye.
tragedy supplies an even more startling con-
frmation than the fate of Feeks or any other
recent victim of the wires. He was on the
sidewalk, where any citizen might have been,
and fatal contact with the overhanglng lamp
might as easily have been made by some other
means as by the lifting of showcase. The
SUSPENSION of a deadly charge of electricity only
a couple of feet above the heads of persons
walking through the streets of New-York is in
itself sufficiently dsquieting circumstance
and the belief that in scores of cases mere
narrow interval of space measures the distance
between life and death is fast becoming insup-
portable.
If there ever was any reason for heSltancy
to demand that no consideration Of proprietary
interests ought to he allowed to prevent
searching inquiry and rigorous condemnation
of any system or appliance which cannot be
made safe al once and forever, the time for
such dalicacy has passed If electrical currents
Of Ugh tension are constantly or even occasion
ally liable to escape from their conductors and
annihilate human life the people will speedily
forbid their generation.

1" FJRE-PROOFp SHAMS.

The catastrophe in Minneapolis supplies an
other melancholy illustration of the ease with
which claim Of fireproof construction may be
falsely made in behalf of modern building.
The dispatches say that General Nettleton, the
original owner of 1.-The Minneapolis Tribune"
Building, had been urged to provide better fire
escapes and had refused. The impression is
conveyed that he evinced a brutal Indifference
to the existence Of perls of which he was aware,
but we do not believe that so grave a charge
can be proved against him. He has the reputa-
ton Of "A h gh- minded, public spirited man. He
declares that for two years past he has had no
responsibility for the deathtrap and until his
prior relations to it have been ascertained be-
yond doubt he ought to be held innocent of
conscious and deliberate negligence. That no
must acknowledge a more OF less cupable igno-
rance Of original defects of construction with
which he ought to have been familiar is scarce
" to be questioned, but the extent Of his moral
accountability even for these is yet to be de-
te,mined. Ii is probable that he honestly sup
posed his building to he Of very different
character from that which its sudden fate dis
closed and that he will be able to shift
at least some part Of the responsibility upon
those who designed and erected it, There is
no room left for argument about the peris
which were built into it either through igno-
rance or fraud. In so far as it puported to he
Greproof or capable of stout resistance to
flame and heat it was n horrible sham
The truth about this particular structure
has been revealed in an appalling manner, and
there is no advantage in refusing to believe
that thousands of others in all parts of the
country which make boast of safety are any
better The Boston conflagration exposed many
similar pretenccs and who can doubt that New
York contains scores of buildings which are
only waiting for chance to falsfy the claims
which serve to keep them full of tenants? The
fact that death-traps can be erected and main
tanned in spite Of laws designed to make them
impossible is bad enough; that the evil of their
existence should be increased by a false Prom
Use of security is still worse.

n,AIREPT-SARASATE

The d'Albert Sarasate or Sarasate-d Albert cult
continues grow apace. The concert at the Metro
politan Opera House yesterday afternoon was at
tended by a splendid audience which, though not so
noisy demonstrative Of the earlier gather
ings was not whit behind them in appreciation.
II might we'll be so, moreover for the merits OF the
great artists never shone in a brighter light
Their programmes somewhat too generous Tor
those judciOus music-lovers who prize quality more
than quantity and like to preserve the impressions
made by their performance of the masterpieces OF
their respective lists undistrbed; yet the charm
which they exert Is so potent that piece is per
mltted 10 pass without demand for more. fester-
days programme emitting mention OF the orchestral
pieces, which were as little an ornament OF the con-
cert as the accomplishments consisted OF Beethoven
concerto in fiat, and four smaller pieces by Liszt,
Greg and straussTausg for Mr. d'Albert, and Bruchs
concerto in minor and his "Zigeunerweisen' for
Mr. Sarasate This more than generous allowance
was augmented by Tires pieces played on recals-two
by tho vlolinist and one by the pianist. Yet, so
exquisite was the enjoyment given, the audience
seemed only satisfied, not stated.
Mr.. dAlberts playing of the Beethoven concerto
presented him again in tho character IN which he is
most amlable His reading filed with beauti-
fully reverent spirit II magnifcendy strong in
its serenity, and profound In its feeling that no
ordinary virtuoso's plummet could have sounded It's
poetcal depths. He read 1t like an epic. and so ex-
emplhed In It tho real nature of Beehoven's genius
His fingers Of Steel which threw OIL LISTS Polonafse
in with bewldering impetuosity, making picture
in tones like the cascade of sparks from blast fur
mace, allured from the pianoforte in the first
movement and inermezzo Of the concerto which
were marveously tender, lovely and insinuating
1t was performance that moved uninteruptedly in
the highest regions Of art.
An announcement printed on the programme to the
effect that Mr.. sarasate had first played the Bruch
concerto In America nineteen years ago smacked a
little OF hind of pride In tho artist which 1t IS easy
to forgive Tho concerto and the player have both
won their way to tile popular heart since that first
performance, and much inclined to doubt whether
Mr. Sarasate now has anything in his repertoy which
he PLAYS 50 we'll. The dazzling wchery Of his
Gypsy melodies amazed his listeners yesterday, but
tho suavity and nobility of his Interpretation OF The
concerto delighted them.
Those fingers which dance over the hngerboard
with uneousiled graoefness and lnfalblo correctness
of stop. performed prodigous feats In the szigeuner
singing the performance of the concerto was, we are
tempted 10 say, the most notable of Mr. saraSate's
achievements since he came this last time TO conquer
us with his art.
