PARALYZED BY ELECTRICITY.
ANOTHER LOOSE ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE CAUSES
A COMMOTION II THE BowERY.

ANOTHER LOOSE ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE CAUSES
COMMOTION II THE BowERY.
An electric light wire caused great COM
motion in the Bowery near Bayard-st at noon
Yesterday, and shocked one man so badly that
he was carried to the Chambers Street Hospital
with paralyzed leg. 1t was one of the wires
belonging to the United States Illuminating Com
pany, which are strung under the elevated rail
road in the Bowery. Somehow il got loose from
its faStenings, and sagged down until It was
caught by the roof of a passing Third-ave. horse
car and broken. Then the ends fell upon the
pavement and the electricity sputtered out on
the car tracks One broken end of the wire
lay for time near rail of the up track, and il
stopped Second-ave. car.
The conductor got OIL the car, took hold of
the wire at point where the insulating covering
had not been worn of, and tried TO move IT out
of the way of the car horses lie succeeded
admirably in doing just what he did not wish
TO do. As he tuggcd at the wire the exposed
end of it coiled back like the head Of snake and
fell across the necks Of the horses They fell
on the pavement as if they had been shot, but
they did not appear TO suffer long from the
shock, because they were on their feet again
in moment after the wire was pulled away from
them, and they trotted up town with the car
as lively as if nothing had happened.
y crowd, numbering over 200 persons had
gathered close TO the broken wires. The on
lockers were afraid TO touch the wires, and
policeman, who strove 10 drive the crowd back
was plainly afraid Of getting a shock Among
the persons on the edge of the crowd was Michael
Lynch, young hborer, of No. 100 Oliver-st
lie was about TO cross the BOwery when some
body crowded him, and he stepped on the wire
lie received shock that sent him sprawling on
the pavement. Policemen picked him up and
took him into a HquOr-store, where glass Of
brandy helped TO revive him. Before any further
damage could be done by the WIRE lineman in
the employ of the company arrived and made
the necessary repairs. Lynch WAS removed TO tha
hospital in an ambulance. He was able 10 walk
a little, but his leg stif at the knee and
partly paralyzed. He had no other injury.

ANTIQUITY OF THE GLOVE.
An Emblem Of Power and of Purity, of Def
ance and Sublecti0n

An Emblem Of Power and of Purity, of Def
anee and Subsection.
No article of attire has more of interest
in Its associations aud history than gloves:
for while the interest attaching to most
other garments has been mainly
that of utility, to gloves has been attached
a varied aud widespread symbolism Civ
ing them an exalted place and linking
them with many curious observances
regal, ecclesiastical, military and social.
The glove has been the emblem of
power and of purity, Of defiance and sub
lection. LANDS and personal property
we're once conveyed by the delivery of a
glove; authority of kings over provinces
was attested by presenting glove; kings
invested barons with dominion by bestow-
ing on the favorite one of the kingly
gloves; and many ecclesias tical and legal
ceremonies could only be performed with
white gloves, the embiems of purity.
The antiquity of gloves is very great;
they doubtless ante date history, for tho
earliest literature alludes to them, and
they have been known and worn from the
earliest ages of which we have any knowl-
edge Homer, in the 'Ody sseyn describes
Laertes, the farmer-king, the father of
Ulysses, in his retirement: awhile gloves
secured his hands to shield them from the
thorns." Xenoohor jeers at the Psrsians
for wearing gloves rs a protection from
the cold; not only did they have umbrellas
borne over them in summer, not being
content with the shade of the trees and
rocks, but in the winter it is not sufficient
for them to clothe their heads, and their
bodies, and their feet, but they have cover.
ings made of hair for their hands and
their fingers. In their earlier days the
Greeks and the Romans soorned such
effeminaey, but at a later day, in the time
of Pliny, the uncle of that lively histor-
ian is described as travelling with an
amanuensis who wore gloves upon his
hands in the winter lest the severity o the
weather should make him lose any time"
in writing.
From time immemoria the glove has
had 10. al tigniioance in oriental coun-
tries the transfer of property, just as the
Goods penny" was formerly used to blind
a bargain" 10 the West. disputed pass
age in the Old Testam ent-Ruth iv. z and
S-reads: Now this was the manner in
former time in Israel, concerning chang
ing, for to confirm all things a man pluck
ed off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor;
and this was in testimony in Israel" 1t
is now commonly agreed by scholars that
the word shoe should be rendered glove,
for in the Chaldaic parsphrase the word
is rendered 'tbe case or covering of the
right hand" and accepting this view it
appears that among the Israelites the
passing of glove was the metaod of
transferring property.
Later the glove as pledge or emblem
of conveyance, came into use among the
Romans, whose ancient law held property
to have passed with its literal transfer, or
of part of it, into the hands of the pur
chaser; and the glove, doubtless as a mat
ter of convenience, took the place Of and
symbolized this actual transfer.
