he ESCAPES ELEcIRoCUTIoN.

Live Electric Wire Wraps Itself Around
Man, Yet He Lives.
Michael Stapleton had a remarkable es-
cape from electrocution yesterday. He was
driving along Butler street in a buggy,
when at Thirty-ninth street an electric wire
of the East End Electric Light Company
broke and fell, striking his horse on the
back. The animal jumped into the air and
then fell as though dead. Stapleton Sprang
to the horses side and caught the wire to
pull it off, The moment he touched it he
fell to the ground The wire wrapped it.
self around his body. Stapleton gave a
little moan and then life apparently left
him.
A big crowd gathered around the horse
and man. Everyone was terrified and no
one was trying to rescue the man. Staple
toms clothing was burning and the fire was
fast making its way to the mans flesh. In
the midst of this excitement young man
came running along the street carrying an
Ak. He quickly climed the pole and with
one stroke severed the wire. The hero suf-
fered shock sufficient to knock the ak
out of his hand. He quickly made his de-
scent and hurriedly left the crowd. No
one knew him, and he refused to give his
name.
Stapleton was found to be alive and wss
removed to the West Penn Hospital He
will recover. The horse was dead before
the current was turned of.

was likely to take no longer than usual,
though the exact time would be hard to
state. The hardest work will this time fall
upon Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Pagan, to whom the
figures of the Democratic and Republican
parties viii fall. The clerks who have the
Socialists and Populites to look after have
a soft snap in comparison to the others.
But one humorous incident lightened the
labors of the Board yesterday. 1t occurred
when the vote of the Ninth ward of Pitts
burg was reached. Judge Porter, who was
reading the vote, could hardly refrain from
laughter when he said: For Supreme
Court Judge, H. G. Frick, three votes"
There was mild peal of laughter at this,
but the clerks mad to record it. and column
had to be set aside on the sheets for Mr..
Frick.
The public appeared to take very little
interest in the count, and there were practi-
cally no spectators present. While no
be for some days, the unofficial footings
are decisive as to all the candi-
dates but Steele and Snee for State
Senator. The final returns received yes
terday show Harrison's vote in the county
to be 43, ,493 and Cleveland's 29,6 sos, plur-
ality for the former of 1885. 1t is esti-
mated that Sipe's majority over Acheson
will be 1.157 in Allegheny county, and L. 600
in the whole Twenty-fourth district, while
he beats Stewart by at least 200. DalzelPs
majority over Breen in the Twenty-second
district is 6, 395, and Stones over Osborne
in the Twenty-third, 1865 Uppermnn's
majority for the State Senate is 506.
Coroner Mcdowell ran ahead of his ticket,
getting 10, 900 majority. Judge Stowe
practically received the unanimous vote.

DEMOCRATIC QUALIFICATION.

The John A. Snee Club Celebrates the
Great Victory of the Party.
The John A. Snee Democratic Marching
Club, of the Southside, held a jollifcation
meeting in their rooms on South Fourteenth
street last night. The place was filled to
overhowing and there was no lack of en-
thusiasm. Joseph d. Mccarthy presided.
Attorney Frank L Gosser made q speech,
commencing the Democrats for their victory
and the members of the club for their earn
est work during the campaign. He said the
Republican plurality inAlleghny county had
been reduced 1000 and that the city would
be Democratic within five years. William
Walls made the last address of the evening
He said that John A. Sree had made a
splendid fight and was rightfully elected.
Whether he would be counted out he did
now know. He urged the club to get ready
for the coming May orality fight, and said
that in T. c. Beinhauer they had a candi-
date worthy of their support. In closing
he expressed the opinion that law should
be enacted requiring the voters to mark
their ballots with indelible ink to insure
them against fraudulent counts. At the
conclusion of the meeting the club formed
a permanent organization.

The Clevelands Never Excited.
With all the hundreds of prominent and
wealthy persons with whom Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland have been more closely identified
in a social way the past four years their
intimate friends prior to thai time are lntl-
mate still, and likely to remain 30. In this
circle Mr.. Cleveland has always been re-
ferred to as 'the President" and it came
very pleasantly on Tuesday night and yes
terday, when they came to offer their con-
gratulations. Even to these, the closest
friends the Clevelands have, neither of
them betrayed the least bit of excitement
prior to the election, and it was confidently
believed that if there had been defeat in
stead of success they would have borne it so
gracefully that no one would bave sus-
pected the depth of their disappointment.
In the first place, last Tuesday there was
every indication of success from early in
the day. Toward the afternoon 1t almost
amounted to certainty. 1t was not SO four
wears ago. The news then was SO depres-
sing that Mrs. Cleveland was much better
prepared for it than her husband. Like
woman she gave up quickly, but the Presl-
dent hoped to the lest moment
Quite a Difference in Four Years.
Mrs. Cleveland was greatly excited that
day. She spent from early morning until
o'clock in the house of friend, playing
whist with three other ladies. At that hour
the first news of defeat began to arrive, and
she knew it before her husband. Last
Tuesday she busted herself with her house
hold matters all morning, saw her callers,
and took a leisurely drive in The park dur
ing the afternoon with Baby Ruth. When
she returned success came with her, and
before she went to bed at midnight there
was no doubt but that the White House
would be her residence the next four years
The return of the Cievelands suggests to
pretty much everybody the names of the
ex-Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Whit
ney and Colonel and Mrs. Lamont. 1t can
be stated on the very best authority that
neither Mr. Whitney nor Mr.. Lamont is
likely to form part of President Cleveland's
official family Both have so expressed
themselves and Washington society will
be sorry that it is to be so. There could be
possibly nothing more delightful to their
friends and admirers here than the an
nouncement that Mr. Whitney would be
the next Secretary of State. Mrs Whit
nev would shine pre-eminently as the lead
ing hostess of the administration, and would
add to her fame, already established.

DEMOCRATS TO CELEBRATE SATURDAY

Governor Mckinley, the accepted author
OF the policy of the Republican party, came
to Pittsburg last night on his way to his
home at Canton, O., from East Liverpool,
O., where be attended the funeral of q
friend during the day. The great protec-
zionist and apostle of high tariff spent two
hours while in Pittsburg with c. L. Magee
and Justice Paxson, of the Supreme Court.
Governor Mckinley looks thinner and
more thoughtful than when he last visited
Pittsburg He was neatly dressed in black
clothes From under his stylish plug hat
his heavy black eyebrows hung like fur
rows. His face was white as marble, but in
appearance he showed no indication that
his party or his policy had been repudiated
by the people.
Would Talk Only to Friends.
To his intimate personal and political
friends the Governor talked freely of the re-
cent political contest, but he had little or
nothing to say for publication on the result
of the national election. IT he really knew
how the defeat of President Harrison was
encompassed or what conditions combined
to bring about Republican defeat, he
refused positively to distribute
that information to the public generally.
When the Governor was asked to account
In some way for the result of the election,
he smiled significantly and said: ''The ver-
dict has been rendered by the American
people. Their will is law"
All efforts to have the Buckeye Governor
express himself more clearly or more salts
factorily failed. He waved his white hand,
soft as woman's, and said he was not yet
ready to explain.
Will Probably Talk To-Day.
The Governor left Pittsburg shortly after
midnight. Mr.. Magee accompanied him
to the depot and the two went to the
Columbus sleeping car, which was in wait
ing in the depot yard. The two remained
together until the train was ready to de-
part They then separated, both ap-
parently regretful that they could
not finish their talk. Incidentally
during his stay in Pittsburg, Governor Nc
Kinley said that he had promised the rep
resentatives of the press associations of
Columbus, O., to give them a detailed talk
to-day, in which he will likely explain the
Republican defect and will talk on the
future prospects of his party.

TRAINS CRASH TOGETHER.

The Philadelphia Express Runs Into the
Rear of the Bissen Accommodation
One Man Fatally InJured-An Engineer
Was Running Without Orders.
At 1O:45 o'clock last night the Philadel-
phia express, west, on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, ran into the rear end of the
Bissell accommodation at Laughlin station.
Daniel Kennelty. fagman on the Bissell,

to bad weather and other causes, it was two
hours and 20 minutes late. The Bissell
accommodation is due here at 1850. 1t lett
Bissell at 9:53 last night the usual time. 1t
arrived at Laughlin station at 10:41, the
schedule time, and had Just left that point
of it.
The rear end of the car was completely
demolished, while the forward end of the
engine was smashed In and the smokestack
and steam chest torn away. Daniel Kennedy
was standing on the rear platform of the car
endeavoring to flag the express when the
shock came. He was caught between the
locomotive and the car and terribly crushed.
John Andy, engineer of the express,
stated that he could not tell how it hap
pened. He was running without orders, he
said, and never saw the accommodation
until he was right on top of it.
Conductor Shipley, of the express, could
tell nothing about it and did not wish to
talk. One of the crew said that minute
before the accident Mr.. Shipley
had looked at his watch and an
nounced they were running very close
on the accommodation. He then pulled the
bellrope twice for tho engineer to slow up.
No attention was paid to the signal and he
then pulled the cord that connects with the
airbrake. Just then the trains struck.

moved Kennelty to the Hoeopathic Hos
pital. He is a married man, "a years of age

SOME ROOM FOR DOUBT.

There Are Some People Who Think Eber-
hardt Waller Was Murdered-It Wasn't
for Gain If He Was-A Post Mortem Is
Asked For.
Eberhardt Walters demise at the home
of his sister on South Twenty-third street
yesterday gives room for doubt as to what
caused his death. He was peddler. who
lived near HAYS station, on the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston Railroad. On Sat-
urday he appeared at the home of Michael
Lindner, near that village. His nose was
bleeding and his face bruised in several
places Waller did not have his pack with
him and said that he had fallen and hurt
himself The man was taken into the house
and cared for. The next day he was re-
moved to the home of his sister.
Deputy Coroner Donnelly investigated
the case yesterday and he thinks the man
was not murdered. Walters pack was
found and everything was in it. The old
fellow also had s3S and gold watch when
he went to Lindner's, and it is thought that
had he been assaulted these would have
been taken by his nssailants
Dr. Duff, who attended Waller after he
had been taken to the home of his sister,
said last evening: 81 was called to attend
Waller two days ago. found him in dy-
ing condition. He died of injuries received
about the head. How he was hurt do not
know, but he had conclusion of the brain,
which was aggravated by acute infamma-
tion. There was no hope for the man when
first saw him, and 1 deemed his case
so hopeless that 1 called in no advice.
''It was only by the free use of stimu-
lants that was able to keep him alive as
long as did. There was not the slightest
trace of paralysis, as he had free use of
every part of his body. Waller had been
suffering for two or three days before 1 saw
him, and his case had gradually become ag-
gravated. 1 consider his case very sus-
picious. The only way to find out the true
cause of his death would be by q post mortem
examination.

Mayor Gourley Refuses to Sign the Dia-
mond Street Widening Petition.
Mayor Gourley allowed yesterday to pass
without signing the resolution authorizing
and directing him as the Mayor of the city
to sign the petition for the city of Pittsburg
ior the widening of Diamond street, from
Smithfeld street to Liberty avenue. The
ten days expired yesterday in which His
Honor was given TO sign the resolution, and
he failed to do so.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Mayor Gourley said that Councils had no
right to dictate to him as to what he should
do. No ordinance passed by Councils can
be operative unless it is approved and
signed by the Mayor. In the second place,
the resolution was very indefinite, as it
called for him to sign petition but did not
state which petition he was to sign. For all
the Mayor knew, there might be a dozen
men with different petitions in their in
side pockets. The Mayor will send the
resolution back to the next meeting of
Councils with his reasons for not signing

A Rush Of Applicants to the Allegheny
Department of Charity.
The rooms of the Department of Public

day yesterday with applicants for aid.
Inspector Eichenlaub in speaking of the
matter said: 'Never before in my expert
ence with this office have seen so many aD-
plications for charity made in one day.
The miserable weather of yesterday and to-
day is the principal cause of this rush Of
applicants for aid. Most of the applicants
here to-day have received aid. The sloppy
condition of the streets caused many of
them to ask for shoes and IN nearly every
instance their requests were granted"

MAY CONTEST THE ELECTION,
His Friends Claim That John A. Snee Has
Defeated Steele.

His Friends Claim That John A. Snee Has
Defeated Steele.
Talk was rife on the Southside last even
ing as to the outcome OF the Steele-Snee
fight for the State Senatorship. At the
meeting of the John A. Snee Democratic
Club the subject was fully discussed. The
consensus of opinion was that he was
elected, notwithstanding the report that
Steele was The winner. Snee's magnificent
showing on the Southside and other places
where the labor vote was in the majority
led them to believe this. 1t was generally
stated among the leading members of the
club that should he be declared defeated
the election of Steele would be contested.
This opinion was concurred in bv many
of the Democrats on the Southside, where
the admirers of Snee are particularly nu-
merous They said nothing would be done
until the official returns had been received.
