Shocked OH Top of a Pole.

Michael F. Fitzpatrick, young lineman in
the employ of the United States Illuminating
company, was engaged Saturday in repairing a
wire on the pole at the southeast corner of STAN
ton street and the Bowery, New York city. He
accidentally sat on another wire transmitting
an alternate current, and was instantly made
unconscious from the shock. His grip had
closed on one of the arms of the pole, and il
stuck there and he swung backward upon the
network of wires, which prevented him from
falling to the ground. Fitzpatrick became con-
scious in moment, but found that he could
not stir hand or foot and shouted feebly for
assistance. Several of his associates were work
ing near by, and they ran to his rescue. They
were compelled to lower him from his lofty
perch by the means of ropes. An ambulance
was called and he was removed to Gouveneur
hospital. After remaining an hour in the hos
pital he left and returned to his post He was
still very weak, aud said that he had suffered
excruciating internal palms.

Paris Not Openly Immoral.

Belva lockwood in New York World.
Outwardly Paris is moral, chaste, cleanly and
we'll governed. have been on her streets for
nearly two months by night and by day in car
riage and on foot, in the seething crowd and ON
the less frequented thoroughfares, without see
ing or hearing the slightest immortality, bois-
-terousness, drunkenness or rudeness of any
Sort An impression has gained ground in the
States. and was led to believe it true, that it
was not safe or prudent for women to- travel
through Paris without male escort, that
Frenchmen were sometimes rude to women
unprotected. There are thousands Of women
to-day without escorts in Paris-young and
beautiful women from every nationality under
the sun-who will tell you that they have
received only kindness and courtesy, and the
fact that they were travelling by themselves
had not in the least affected their standing in
society. But it is not nice!' I heard a
French lady exclaim, and French women do
not a rule travel without their husbands.
But French women travel very little, have few
privileges-in youth are kept under strict sur
Vigilance and in the marriage relation are
taught strict obedience. They respect, how
ever, the customs of our country. A French
man desires for his wife young woman with
out experience and with no knowledge of the
world. Drawing inference of his own morality,
doubtless, he has no faith in the young woman
who protects herself and has learned self-de-
pendence. But these are matters of education.

AN EXILED KINGS RETURN.
a German GunbOat Bringing Nalietoa
to Samoa-Missionary Troubles,

The steamer Mariposa, which arrived at San
Francisco Saturday, brings the information
from Apia that political affairs at Samoa remain
quiet The German gunboat Wulf left Apia
June u for Joluit, Marshall Islands. for the
purpose of bringing back the deported king,
Malietoa, and three chiefs, who were taken
there by the Germans two years ago. The
Germans state they are bringing Malietoa back
to Samoa of their own free will, and not as the
result of the Berlin conference. They also as
sert they will do all in their power to restore
the condition OF affairs that existed in Samoa
prior to the time that Malietoa was deported.
and they announce they will favor Malietoa as
king and Tamasese as vice king.
Admiral Kimberly, accompanied by Lieut..
Merriam, his secretary, has gone to Tutuila
Island, Is miles from Apia. to inspect Pago
Pago harbor and the site for storing the coal
which Is expected to arrive there daily from
Philadelphia. Lieut.. II. D. Rittenhouse and
SIX men are the only survivors of the recent
hurricane who still remain at Apia, and it is
thought they will go aboard the Adams as soon
as she arrives from Honolulu.
The police appointed by Mataafa last juno
have full charge OF the town, the police who
held once under the old Tamasese government
having been forced to disband AIataafa has
also appointed native judges for the munich
pailty and county districts. The natives have
not an abundance of food, but il is believed the
supply Will last until their plantations are again
In working order.
Considerable annoyance is expressed in Apia
on account OF newspaper argument which has
been started in Sydney between the Roman
Catholics and London missionary society as to
which religious body the natives belonged who
saved lives during the hurricane. The Samoans
are divided IN their religious belief and it is
feared the discussion may tend to increase the
bad feeling which already exists among the
natives. Some Of the high chiefs say that they
fear the religious differences may be carried
into the election for king, which will be held on
Mahetoa's return, and that a split may occur
among the adherents of the Malietoa family, OF
which Mataafa Is u member, and that thereby
Tanasese may be elected a king, in which
event the Germans would have as full power az
they had Two years ago.

THE LIFE ELIXIR AGAIN.
Only -Four Hours Required to Rejuve-
nate Feeble Citizen.

An indianapolis dispatch says that DIR. Pur-
man Of that city has just made a practical
demonstration Of Brown Sequard's life elixir
theory. DR.. Purman easily procured the con-
sent of Noah Clark, who is fifty years Of age,
generally debilitated, suffers from rheumatism
and from disease contracted during the war,
and is a very fit subject for the experiment
tried upon him this morning.
DIR. Purman drove out to the stock yards Sat-
urday morning and selected the healthiest
lamb obtainable. The lamb was killed and the
necessary parts were brought to his Office. The
preparation was very simple. The parts were
cut and pounded in a mortar, or thoroughly
'trlturated." Two drachms of water was
added and the preparation was carefully fl
tered The result was a reddish fuid-the
elixir. Ore and a half drachms of this were in
Jected into the emaciated arm of Clark a little
below the shoulder with an ordinary hypo-
dermc syringe. Granville Allen and Dr. Theo-
dore Parker were present during the operation,
which took place within two hours after killing
the lamb
A few minutes after the operation reporter
called at the Office and saw Mr.. Clark. He was
limp picture OF detection, and seemed to have
little vitality.
'You know how you feel sometimes when
you get up in the morning." he said, .'you feel
sleepy and lifeless and unable to do any
thing. That's the way have felt ever since
the war"
About four hours afterward Mr. Clark walked
down town from Fort Wayne avenue and
climbed up two flights of stairs without stop

South Dakota Adopts Constitution
N. Dakota and Montana Conventions

The South Dakota constitutional convention
practically closed its labors Saturday, though q
final adjournment will not be taken until Mon
day. State and county officers win be elected
in November, 1890, and South Dakota has been
delivered from annual elections The most i'm

MoNTANA's SCHOOL LANDS
In the convention at Helena Saturday Mr..
Marshall introduced q resolution classifying
lands granted for school funds and providing
for their leasing. The lands are only to be
sold at full market value. Such as are within
the corporate limits Of towns or cities are only
to be sold in five-aAre tracts. The bill on sena-
torial apportionment came up for further dis
cussion. Section 4, providing for sixteen SEN
ators, or one for each county, created perfect
uproar. Toole wanted, as before, Representa-

NORTH DAKoTA's CONSTITUTION.
In the constitutional convention at Bismarck
the salary for members of the legislature was

be IS per day. The preamble and bill Of rights
reported by the committee was discussed
and adopted. with the exception of the pre-

WILL THERE BE A CHALLENGE.


From the New York Sun.
IF Harry North is going to have Yacht
built and Fife is going 70 build her, the chances
are that we shall have to build and build well
she comes for the Americas cup"
So said racing yaehtsman last night. and he
spoke sincerely, for he knows North and he
knows Fife and the boats he has built at Fair
he The Minerva is a fair sample of them. and
the S0-rating cutter Foxhound. now owned by
Mr.. North, Is another. On July of this year
she won the Corinthian match in the royal
Yorkshire regatta on the Humber river against
half dozen others, and on the Sth she carried
on the l,5Oo frame prize given by the town of
HARE to the winner in the regatta of the
Societe des ,Regates du Havre. II was a 90
mile race over a square course, and she beat
Mr.. ". g. hIler's yawl Vanguard handsomely.
The Foxhound was designed by w. Fife, ST. :.
and built by him in 1870 as yawl She was
altered to q cutter OF 80 rating in 1887. Her
dimensions are: Length. s. feet; BEAM IL IS
feet; depth. feet Z. Her tonnage Is S. IS.
There are yachtmen who claimed to know the
general feeling in England about the new deed
OF gift. who say that since the Royal yacht
squadron have shown their disapproval Of it.
no other club will challenge for the Americas
cup under Its terms. But IL Mr.. North builds
boat for the purpose of challenging for the
cup he Is sure to be backed by the club to
which he belongs. II recent cable reports are
true he has already given Fife an order for q
yacht the dimensions of which we may not
learn for three months to come.

BURKE BETRAYED HIMSELF.
Story Of the Way He Happened To Be
Caught in Winnipeg.

When Burke reached Winnipeg he made his
first public appearance, as far as is known, in
the Office Of an employmentagent Burke asked
the agent what the cost of ticket to Liver
pool would be.
He desired particularly that his railway jour-
ney be over the Canadian Pacific railway and
the boat to be an Allan liner sailing from Mon
treaL Burke foolishly said he wished to follow
this route because he had got into trouble in
the states and had delicaey in venturing again
on soil owned by Uncle Sam.
While Burke was thus babbling to the ticket
agent there was an interested though unob-
served listener to il all. This was Sergeant
Hossack of the Canadian Pacific railway police,
who was quietly seated behind glass partition
Burke's words put him on the qui vive, as that
same morning he had received from Chief Nc
Rae the description OF forger wanted in the
United States and had been requested by the
chief to keep lookout for him. This descrip-
ton Hossack found tailed to certain extent
with Burke's appearance and, taken with his
admissions, certainly looked suspicious He
therefore notified Chief McRae Of the circum-
stance and watch was set for the suspect.
The result was the arrest of Burke, but it was
then found that his appearance did not tally ex-
actly with the description of the forger. 1t
was certain, however, that the man was wanted
for something, and his description in detail
the query: "Do you want this man for any
thing2"
Back came the answer: "Hold him; he is in
all probability Martin Burke, wanted for COM
plicity in the Cronin murder"
The result is known. Burke's identifca-
ton. trial and extradition followed, and to-
morrow he will be en- route to Chicago in charge
OF strong guard of police, with Chief Hubbard
in command. Jim Madden had nothing to do
with the capture.
The necessary warrant arrived Saturday from
Ottawa. and Burke was turned over to the Chi
cago officers in the afternoon. The party left
Tor Chicago on the 2:45 p. m. train yesterday.
BURKE's PROBABLE COUNSEL.
The appearance of Senator Kennedy, Of Ap-
pleton, Wis, in the Cronin case has caused
much talk in Chicago. Kennedy was in Chica-
go for several days before his appearance in
Winnipeg. Probably no one knew Of it at the
time except few of Beggs' and Alexander
Sullivan's friends. It is a fact, however, that
Kennedy was there and in constant commune
cation with the alleged conspirators. 1t Is said
on seemingly good authority that it was Ken
nedy who forwarded the money so suddenly
acquired to fight Burke's case at Winnipeg.

NICARAGUA WATERWAY.
Pushing the Preparations for Work OF
the Interoceanic Canal.

Greytown, Nicaragua, destined to be the At
lantic port of the Nicaragua canal, is rapidly
awakening into new life. The terrible exam
pie" set by the Panama fasco has been most
useful lesson and guide for the American canal
company, which pays as high wages, If not
higher, than the French company, and in addi-
ton supplies all its employes-even the Jamai-
can and other colored laborers-with good,
wholesome food and plenty of it shipped direct
from New York, and as the work expands all
the suffers stores along the line of the canal.
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will be under
the company's control and strict supervision,
the goods sold being charged for at cost prices
only, SO that the company's employees will get
boots. shoes, Shirts sacks, tobacco, cigars
and also luxuries at the same rate that they
could buy them in New York. Portable build
lngs OF all descriptions are being continually
shipped from New York to Greytown, and the
engineers and mechanics will soon be practi-
cally as well housed in Grey*own as they would
be while at work in any part Of the United
States. Fifteen miles of steel water piping will
convey an abundant supply of perfectly pure
water from the Deseado basin to Greytown.
Thus, SO soon as the jetty and wharves are
completed, ocean steamships will be able to
water at the companys dock. The town of
Greytown, otherwise San Juan del Norte, will
also receive its water supply through the canal
company's pipes.
PROPOSED STEAMSHIP LINES.
1t Is reported in Greytown that the canal
company is figuring upon a line of three Amer
lean steamships which may be established be-
tween Greytown and New York and San Fran
cisco and Brito. one of these steamers to be de-
voted to carrying stores and machinery for the
company's use between San Francisco and
Brito on the construction of the Pacific harbor
of the canal, and the other two to perform like
service for the company between New York
and Greytown. On the other hand, it is said
that the Thurbers of New York grocery fame
have got little ahead of the canal company in
this matter and that they are making arrange
ments to offer the canal people a well equipped
line of steamships which will be engaged in the
South American trade. One of these lines of
steamships will undoubtedly soon be an estab-
lished fact
1t is expected that by January / the San
Francisco construction party will be ''stirring
up the mud" at Brito. while the New York con-
structlon parties will be digging their way to-
ward Lake Nicaragua from the Atlantic side.
1t is said to be the plan of the Nicaragua canal
company to attack the isthmusian problem
from the Atlantic and the Pacific side at once.
Work on the telegraph line. railway route,
buildings, and preparations for the jetty con-
struction continues

A Remarkable Achievement.

From the Boston Journal.
A most important and successful military ex-
pertinent has just been concluded by the
French on the rivar Var near Nice. which
shows at once that war is apprehended and
that the French troops are expected to move
in the direction of Italy. For some time past
the merits of an adjustable steel bridge. the
invention OF NJ. Henry, chief of the engineers
staff, have been actively discussed, and the
minister of war recently decided to have this
bridge tested on the Var. over which there is
but one railway bridge, which, in case of war.
might be blown up by the enemy The in
structions were to put this bridge in position,
with its accompanying pontoons, in the shortest
possible space of time, as if an army on the
march were waiting to cross The point chosen
for the. experiment was just below the Fort
Mont-Chauve. on the River Var, where the
stream is about 1876 yards wide. On Tuesday
the I'd of July the bridge arrived on a train
composed of twenty-five cars, and with it de.
tachment of railroad sappers from Versailles
and 125 men from the Avignon pontoon train
At noon on this same day the work Of LAYING

steel construction. 200 yards of pontoons and
| 100 yards OF ready-made dykes or bank an

came up at nightfall, but the work was con.
| tinued all night, the electric lights working
well in spite OF the storm. On Wednesday the

first steel beam, seventy yards long, was swung
into its place. At IL that night, although the
storm had continued, 215 yards were in place
and on Thursday, July 4, at noon the bridge
was finished. Infantry, cavalry and artillery
| in large numbers passed over il at rapid pace
and nowhere did it bend or weaken. Sixty off.
GERS of the general staff and all the great en-.
gineers OF Marseilles, Lyon and Toulon were
present and expressed their surprise thsk the
bridge could have been laid down 80 quickly,
the speed being much greater than any thus
far shown by the Germans.
A few days ago the readiness Of the railways
for mobilization Of troops was tested all over
France at midnight, and in every instance the
companies had ready at moments notice the
number of locomotives and cars required by
law. No previous notice was given the railway
officials. France seems to be getting the worth
of her money
