knocked Down by n Wire.

An electric railway wire which fell at
Front and Market streets on Tuesday
week knocked down a horse. The
beast fell yith the wire under it and
groaned with pain. Several men who
went to the animals assistance were
compelled to let go their hold of it
because of the severe electric shock they
received when they touched it. Finally
the horse was rescued from its unpleas
ant position and soon recovered from
its shock.

BISMARCK STRICKEN DOWN
The Man of Iron Attacked
With ApopIexy.
BROKEN HEARTED AND CRUSHED
No Official Concern for the
Ex-ChanceIlor'S Condition.


BERLIN, Sept. 11.-It is reported that
Prince Bismarck has had slight apoplec-
tic attack.
Whether the foregoing report shall be
verified or contradicted by latter adyices
from Friederichsruhe, there is no question
that the Iron Prince has for some time
been sadly crushed out of all physical as
well as political sembance to his former
self by what he deems the base ingratitude
of that young man" whose hand now
guides the destinies of the German empire
which Bismarck made it his life work to
establish, and to whose inheritance of
power the old ex chancellor had once
looked forward as the elimination of his
ambition in molding German policy in the
affairs of Europe.
GOING BRoKEN-HEARTED TO HIS GRAVE.
Shorn of power and thwarted in every
recent aspiration by the young Emperor,
the old Prince has been slowly but steadily
tottering to his life's end with only a
broken heart and clouded fame as a re-
ward for the treacheries which 1t has been
charged he praoticed toward Frederick III
and his cruel treatment of the Empress
Frederick, that the German people might
be taught to long for the hour when their
own son should take up the sceptre Of Will
liam /.
OF course, the once brilliant and auda-
cious chancellor had lived to the years
when one might naturally look for traces
of the weakness which is the penalty of
old age; but the collapse in Prince Bis
marck's case has been so marked and rapid
within the past year as to leave no doubt
that his treatment by Emperor William
has shortened us well as saddened his last
days,
