Shocked ON an Electric Car.

HuDsoN, n. Y. February "a
very painful and peculiar accident to
a lady passenger on an electric car
caused much excitement here Frid ~
afternoon. Miss Clark, a young lady
who is visiting Nathan Clark, OF
Athens, just opposite this city had
been making a short visit TO Hudson,
and on her return home took an
electric car for the river, As soon as
she entered the car she complained
Of feeling i'll, and toll the passen-
gers that she had received an electric
shock. She appeared very pale, and
leaned YEARLY against the back of the
seat. Upon alighling from the car
at the river Miss Clark received an
other shock and fell to the ground.
Treasurer Rainey and several passen-
gers assisted the unfortunate young
Lady into the Curtiss house and sum-
moned DR.. Frederick Cochrane
When the physician arrived he found
Miss Clark unconscious and in a very
critical state, passing into commissions.
She was with great difficulty restored.
She was later able to be conveyed to
her home across the river DIR.
Cochrane thinks that the shock was
communicated to Miss Clark by m ans
Of the iron bolts in the platform, as
she wore no rubbers.

LONG MARRIED.
Romantic Story Revealed by the
Death Of Capt. Pitcairn
Rector.

st. Louis, Feb. 3.-The funeral of
Capt. Pitcairn Rector, VIII" was in.
S antly killed last week near Hickman,
KY, by being thrown from horse
while engaged in a fox chase, occur
red yesterday afternoon from Lynch's
undert king establishment TO Calvary
Cemetery. There was a large attend
ance of sincere mourners, Tor the de-
ceased was long a resident of this city,
well known and very popular. He
was for several years deputy under
the Harbor Commissioner ami at the
time Of his death was in the employ
Of The government as an Inspector of
the work now bsing done by the gov.
eminent on the river. He had been
absent for some days inspecting the
work of the feet located at Hickman,
and, having completed his duties, was
on the eve of returning, when
the lamen able accident occur
red. Captain Rector was a near
relative of Governor Rector of
Arkansas and Cousin of Mrs. Gen,
Beal of Carondelet, with whom he
made hrs home when In the city.
There was peculiarly SD and touch
ing sequel to bis death that was not
generally known until yesterday, and
that was.that by bis death a popular,
accomplished lady OF South st Louis
was made widow. As tn fac,s We're
stated to a. reporter, it seems that
among the inmates of Mrs. Beal's
home. beside Cap. Rect,r, was Mss
Sarah Sharpe, the director the kim
dergarten of the Meramec schopI, a
lovely blonde, possessing many charms
of person aud mind aud of excellent
family. Captain Rector fell desper-
ately in love with her, ami, his affect
ion being reciprocated, the two be
came intim te friends and were hardly
ever seen in public out of each others
company. They were recognized as
lovers by their friends, and some day,
it was though, they would be mar
ried. This courtshiD continued for
several years when Capt. Re tor be-
sought the young lady to pledge him
her hand and heart in secret wedIock,
that whatsoever b,fell them they
might be man and wife. To this she
consented and some five years ago
they were quietly married in the pres
ence of Mrs. Beal aud one or two
trusted friends.
1t was the intention of the contract
ing lovers to keep their marriage quiet
ell the captain was enabled TO support
his bride as he desired she should i've;
in the meantime they were to pursue
their usual walks in life but each aid
ing the contamination of their dream
of welded bliss. Accordingly Mrs.
Rector continued as Miss Sharpe to
the world, and. being devoted to her
school work. still remained director of
the kindergarten, which position she
has so long and accepiably filled.
What a shock of news Capt. Rec
tors death was to her can only he re-
allied By thuse whose brightest dreams
of life have been suddenly blighted.
at first Frustrated by her
great sffiiction, she rallied sufficient
to attend the obsequies yesterday
afternoon and take last view of her
lover and husband.
