himself either to admit OF deny the

Won by the Widow.

LONDON, March 27.-The widow of a
man who was lately killed at Brighton
by coming in contact with hanging
electric light wire, succeeded to-day in
recovering $500 damages through suit
against the company owning the wire.
The number of deaths occurring in
America from electric light wires
formed the chief objection to the intro-
duction of the system here, which the
companies had long and tedins fight
to overcome, and which were not finally
removed until the restrictions were SO
fixed as torender danger to human life
almost impossible. AS this was the first
accident of the kind In England the case
attracted great deal of attention.
