Judge ban Called = FELLOW.

An amusing scene occurred in the
Municipal Court this morning While
the court was waiting for the arrival of
DR.. Shortlidge, to testify in the Gem
case, man who said that he was a wit
ness in the Walsh-Maguire case, rushed
breathessly into the dock and exclaimed.
Il cannot be here at 8 o'clack Wednes-
day morning" City Solicitor Lyman
quietly told him he would have to.
whereupon he turned to the court and
waving his hand towards the Judge said
81 don't see why you fellows cannot
-,' when Judge Ball said very
slowly, You be here Wednesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock" and Immediately hid
his facs behind newspaper. The man
stood facing the court with look and a
smile that indicated his utter contempt
for the judicial functionary that pre-
sided there, and only after several min
utes did he yield to Sergeant Peterson's
whispered order to leave the dock. It
was lucky for him that the court did not
see that contemptuous look or this
bumptious person might have found
himself an unwilling occupant of the
dock

1t Follows the Electric Wire Into the
House OF George Churehman.

House of George Churehman.
A terrific thunder shower ragged in this
city about o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The electric wires were very heavily
charged and no telephone messages could
be sent or received. Immediately after
the most startling clap of thunder one of
the inmates of the house of George
Churchman, No. 800 Delaware avenue,
smelled smoke coming from a room
directly yer Mr. Churchman's library.
Mr.. Churchman was told and after q
thorough search found the Hoor on FIRE.
He extinguished it with water.
He then examined the place where the
FIRE had started, and found that light
ming had entered the building by the
electric light wire and passed through
the gas pipe to which the incandescent
lamps, lighting the room, were fastened.
The pipe completed circuit with the
wire, and the joist and floor boards were
set on fire by the sparks which followed.
The insulation was burnt off one Of the
wires. 1t was fortunate that the fire
was discovered for If it had started in
the night, the house would probably
have been burned.
The house of a. Watchtel at No. 9.
West Second street. was also in danger
OF burning from the arc light wires.
William Blyer, errand boy, was made
unconscious by contact with the wires.
