An Experienced Electrician Gives the Public
Valuable Advice

Valuable Advice.
The following advice from an experienced
electrician with regard to "liven wires is
worth remembering: Never touch an
your way while you are standing on tho
ground, your body will become con-
ductor for the electric fluid to the earth.
unless you have rubber boots upon your
feet. Linemen are sometimes seen pulling
these wires about. but they have insulat-
ing rubber boots upon their feet or gloves
of like material upon their hands, ana
some people, supposing these cover
ings to be only used for pro-
lection against the. wet weather,
received severe shocks in consequence.
Don't employ o carpenter or ordinary Ia
borer. nor do you yourself attempt to fix
any electric apparatus of any power about
your property whether the current IS
turned on or not Electric wires should
be handled one at q time. If it is neces-
sary to take hold of two wires at the same
time don't do it. In handling or drawing
any wire lying over any OF the ordinary
street wires, especially such as convey cur
rents for electric lighting, use dry hand
line for the purpose or grasp the wire with
insulated pincers. An ordinary wire
clOthes-line may become the conductor Of
deadly current.
handle not. The most MISUNDERSTANDING
dishpan may strike you like q mailed hand.
Nothing is safe to You here. unless you
know everything. Let workingmen re-
member that when a company has strung
wires on the cross-bars of poles SO closely
together that man cannot move easily
between them it is better for him to come
down and resign. What profteth it q man
that he has Q situation If his wife
be a widowf Never close circuit
without giving notice to all concerned.
A telegraph notice received in the
back of the neck generally arrives too late
to do any good. On no condition let two
wires touch your body at the same time.
Don't think that any wire is not dangerous.
There lis difference between gun with q
cap on it and one without that can be de;
tected with the naked eye. but loaded
wire-who knoweth 1t? Trimmers employ ed
to attend to lights in crowded public thor
oughfares should be sure that the current
is turned off before they touch the lamp,
as the step-ladders are often very high. and
the public objects to being hit on the head
by gyrating galvanized lamp-trimmer."

That Corporation Law.
PHILADELPHIA telegraph,

By sheer force of dumb stupidity. ap-
parently, Indiana's legislators have COM
mltted that State to practical decree of
banishment against all existing corpora

organization of any more such bodies. no
matter what their design or constitution,

not SO far denied, which prescribes that
no stockholder In corporation
shall have more than one vote,
no matter how many shares he holds.
This extraordinary enactment puts it in
the power of few inscriptions persons to
get control of any corporation in which
they can contrive to buy q share of stock
each. In effect it destroys the corporate
form of organization. No sane man will
consider for an instant q corporation in In
diana as competent body for the trans
action of any business whatever. 1t
seems incredible that a State Legislature
could be found. in this land of enlighten-
ment. ignorant and inconsiderate enough
to pass such q law as this; but if it has
been done in Indiana, it puts an end to the
existence OF corporations in that State un-
til it can be repealed.

BATTLE HORRORS.
The Burning to Death or Wounded Men at

Among the horrors of the battle of Chan
cellorsville was the catching fire of an
abatls and the burning of wounded sol

wounded man months afterward told Mr..

lections of Private" that he watched the
flames and counted the minutes when they
would strike him, but was unexpectedly
saved by little pool of water which ar
rested the fire just In season. Another man,
a hospital comrade, said to Mr.. Goss:

How godfrey Was Knocked Out

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. March 14-The
most notable feature of the fight between
Kilrain and Godfrey. last night, was the
negro's ability to stand punishment. After
the sixteenth round. and until the end of
the fight, Kilrain again and again rained
blows on his antagonists head, neck and
face, but Godfrey took them all with
smiling countenance. Kilrain could have.
in all probability. knocked his opponent
out sooner, if he had pushed him, but he
apparently felt sure of the result, and
seemed desirous of giving the spectators
good show for their money. In the last
round. however, Kilrain woke up and began
to send in both hands for the darky's head,
speedily rendering him groggy. The lat
ter stood up feebly against the ropes un-
able to do anything. taking whatever pun
ishment Kilrain was able to administer.
The blows, sometimes indeed. were little
more than pushes, but they served their
purpose. Godfrey went through the ropes
with his headilanding in box of sawdust,
but only succeeding in gettirg partly back
and hung his head downward over the
ropes. He was counted out and was car
ried to his chair amid the cheers of the
spectators who admired his gameness in
the face of sure defeat. There was little
or no blood drawn during the fight. The
gloves weighed little over five ounces.
