SHOCKED BY CROSSED WIRES .

A Phenome non That Caused
Lively Sensation for Awhile.
The crossing of the electric light wires
with the burglar alarm wires "electrifedn
the front of Ehrlich g. Bros store on Bay
street last night and caused stampede
among the clerks and porters, some of whom
were leaning against the building when
the store was being closed up and the
connection with the burglar alarm wires
was made.
The crossing of the wires sent heavy
current of electricity through the building
and the stone sill of one of the windows in
front, where the porters were accu toned to
lean, was charged with a vigorous voltage
that lifted two or three of them into the
air with yell that startled the entire street.
The current might not have been power
ful enough to electrocute the average
porter who has been handling -four by the
barrel all day, but it was enough to make
him think that something was wrong with
the window sill. Pretty soon another porter
backed up ag ainst the building a few feet
away, and there was another leap into the
air aud an accompanying yell.
The crowd that gathered couldn't under
stand the cause Of the disturbance until two
or three more happened TO get against the
wall, and then somebody said, "Dat's light
ming" A burglar alarm Waterman was
sent for, and he soon explained matters.

OTaRLLo AND DEsDRMoNA.

A Bridgeport Negro Wins the Reart
and Hand of Comely English Wo-
man.
Thomas Bridgeforth, a colored man, black
as midnight. says special dispatch to the
Sun from Bridgeport. Conn, Aug. 8, took
out license to marry Miss Anna Temlett,
a comedy English woman, who has lived for
several years in the family of Charles B.
Wheeler of Long Hill. The match was
opposed In every way by Mr. Wheeler, but
the big negro completely infatuated the
girl, who has had many white admirers,
and she would listen to no ones advice.
Twenty-Five years ago Annals parents died,
and she has since been treated in every way
as daughter by Mr.. Wheeler and his WIFE,
Only short time ago he purchased a pair
of ponies for her express use. and in ell
things he has shown her the greatest kind
ness.
Bridgeforth has been in Long Hill for
several years, and when at work for Select
man Hobart Wheeler he lived with a
mulatto woman, and was the father of six
children. He treated the mulatto woman
brutally, and Selectman Wheeler compelled
him to send her back to Virginia. Bridge
forth claimed that he never was married to
the woman, though he said the children
were his. Lately he has shown marked at
tentions to Miss Temlett, and openly
boosted that he would marry her. When
Mr.. Wheeler confronted her with this
rumor she denied it at first, but afte-ward
assumed a defiant air. She was then com
manded to leave the house. She went to
Brooklyn and Bridgeforth went to New
York.
The girl has about 81 900 laid by in the
savings banks in this city. The couple
insist that they will have big wedding in
the African church here, and there is no
law to prevent, unless it can be shown that
the southern mulatto was Bridgeforth's
wife.
