been employed for the last six weeks

in the presence of a large crowd of people Young
Madden, it appears from the statements OF Mr.
Piper, was IN exceptionally clever and ambitious
young man. He was repeatedly cautioned not
TO touch the electrical apparatus.
An electrician named Charles Mullany went
on the top floor little after o'clock last
evening to see to the lamps and burners.
Madden followed closely at his heels. Whether
he was ordered to do this or not, nobody knows.
The officials at the hotel deny that he was. After
he had reached the top floor of the hotel the eiec-
trcian looked around and behed, to his astonish-
ment, the limp form of Madden hanging from q
lamp. He had hold of the wire connecting the
burner with both hands
MulIany tried hard to kick him of, but his
efforts were Intellectual Finally he ran over u
the encine-room which is about 100 yards from
the scene of the accident, ard turned
off tbc current In the meantime large
crowd had assembled around the unfortunate
vounQ man. and when the current was turned or
