of the Electric Wire Victim In New

New YORK. Oct. 14.-Elcctric wires in
all parts of the city have Leen inspected.
Expert Wheeler, of the board of electri-

wires examined have been found to he
imperfcctly insulated. This includes the
wires of all the electric lighting compa-
MES. If the temporary injunction is not
continued. his idea is to take down every
electric wire which is not properly insu-
lated from the battery to the YOnkers
line. He SAYS there are about 500 miles
of wire which will have to come down.
The interest shown by working people,
even to the boot blacks, in helping Feek's
family is indicated by a collection of
more than 81 900 in tin cracker contri-

Feeks met his death Friday. Notices

There isn't a doubt in the mind of any who
have investigated carefully that the average
length OF human life is increasing; and it i,
certain that IN some sections of the United
States a,d Canada it has increased very
greatly III the last fifty years. Nova Scotia
for instance, has many very old people
and the Piedmont counties of South Carolina
especially around York and Spartanhurg
are thickest with people of 10 or 80 Years
And public interest in the matter has been SC
aroused of late that one may say there = q

IVES'S PERJURED PARTNER.

Woodruff's testimony in the Ives case affords
an astonishing revelation Of the extremes OF
baseness to which self-intercSt will impel an
unpIincipled scoundrel. When Fulgraff and
Duffy covered under the storm Of cIoss-exam-
nation which exposed the extent Of their per-
Jury in connection with the Broadway Railroad
steal, their crime was at least asclibable to
desire to screen themselves and others. But
Woodruff lacks even this ptiful excuse. The
lies he acknowledges having told in the various
suits growing out of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad fraud were uttered for
no other motive than gain, and the plea that
Ives inspired them, even if true, proves moth
ing more than that there is no measure to the
iniQuity made possible by the concerted action
of cOnsummate rogues.
There is a disposition to regard Woodruff
as sort Of guleess Simpleton, whom the
wicked Ives persuaded against his will to deeds
of sin. His abject, crnging attitude on the
witness stand during his first days eXamina-
ton was supposed to indicate a condition OF
mental tiabbiness which would render him just
such an easy prey But his subsequent dis
closures have shown how false Is this inn
preston. Even if he were not self-convcted
liar. the adroitnesS with which he parted the
questions concerning his second visit to Gin
cjnnati. and his ieturn to New lorll in lyes's
company with the certificates for $500 shares
Of the railroad stock, would argue an inde-
pendent and individual disposition to dcfraud
which the most charitable construction OF his
acts must fail = explain away. Far from being
a weak-minded and weak-willed ignoramus, he
was evidently fully alive to the pecuniay adj
vantage of completely with Ives and if he
