AN ELECTRIC FREAK.
How Wet Pocket Handkerchief Cause
u Lot Of Trouble.

How Wet Pocket Handkerchief Caused
Lot Of Trouble.
On the roof OF q meat store in Salem.
Massachusetts, clothes line was
stretched and on it wet handkerchief
was hung to dry. This was seized by
the wind and twisted around an electric
wire; by means of it's dampness, this
handkerchief conducted the electricity
along the wire and brought it into com.
munication with other wires, running
along which it reached the water pines
In the cellar. From these the electricity
sprang to the stove, on which stood n
boiling kettle of fat to which it commune
Gated so strong light that q workman
who was near thought the fat was burn
ing. In attempting to take the kettle
from the stove he received an electric
shock which threw him against the wall.
Pale with terror, the man run into a
room back of the workshop. Another
workman, trying to bring him q glass OF
water, turned the brass faucet of the
water-pipe, and was Immediately thrown
to the furthest corner of the room. For
several minutes everything appeared to
be turned into . galvanic battery: the
nails on the wall were red hot, the water
pipes spurted out flames, and even the
iron bands on the water pail showed
signs OF disturbance. Finally the cause
OF the emotion was discovered. and
ended as soon ~ the wire was freed from
the embrace OF the wet handerkerchief.

40 MILES AN HOUR.
The portslectrio Company's Idea OF send-
ting Fast Mail Matter.

rhs Portelect rio Com pany's Idea OF Sen"-
ing Fast Mail Matter.
From the New York Recorder
The Portelectric Company, when mas
recently been Incorporated under the
laws Of Virginia. proposes 20 transmit
mail matter between New York and
Philadelphia IN forty minutes when
it gets into operation. The IN.
corporators are mainly prominent
New York men. The nominal capital
of the company is IS, 900 900, and the pro-
motors are ssnguine that their system
will make sufficiently favorable show
ing to warrant the investment at album
dant capital to build and equip the lines.
The company has for some time been
operating an experimental line at Dor
chester. Mass, and Prof. A. +. Dolbear
estimates from the results attained that
speed of $50 miles an hour will be possible
when a regular line is built. The Dor
chester experiments have been made on
an endless oval track 2,7S4 feet long, and
despite the sharp curves and other disad-
yantages a speed equal to thirty-three
miles an hour was made with loaded
car. Other electricians who nave exam
ined the plant predict that it will achieve
the success predicted for it.
The track is elevated and consists OF
an upper and lower rail, each formed OF
bar steel. The car is merely hollow
projectile of wrought iron, pointed at each
end. This car is twelve feet long
and ten inches in diameter, but
he cylinder in which the
letters are placed is only eight feet long.
1t weighs 500 pounds and has capacity
for O,OOO letters, weighing l75 pounds.
There are two wheels above and two be-
meath the cylinder. The power to propel
the car is provided by series of hollow
helices of insulated copper wire, which en-
circle the track at intervals of six feet.
The current is transmitted to the belices
from a central dynamo station, and from
the helices through the wheels and run
ming gears to the car. The intention is to
load mail and Other light matter requiring
quick transit into the cylinder car and
start it on its journey. On arriving at it's
destination the speed lie slackened auto
matically by the normal action Of oppo.
site currents through the terminal hellces.
The company does not expect to carry
passengers or freight.
1t is claimed that letters can be trans
mitted between the main postoffice and
Harlem by this system in ABOUT five
minutes, whereas it now requires about
an hour. The incorporators say that
practical line of several miles in length
will be built in short time to give bet
ter idea Of the possibilities of the system
thru is afforded by the experimental line
at Dorchester.

then skunk away, but an officer. who had
been watching him for some time and
who had been unable to come up in time
TO cave the drunken man from injury,
gave pursuit, and with the aid OF other
officers soon captured 1.-The slasher." In
spector Byrnes has no doubt that he has
tie right man, at whose door also is laid
the death OF John Carton, the Baltimore
ex-lawyer, and the dangerous wounding
Of five other men. The prisoners name
is Henry g. Dowd. He ia well connected,
so far as his family is concerned, but his
habits have long made him social out
cast, and for two years at least, he has
had no other home than the cheap lodg-
ing houses on the Bowery. He is about
43 years old, and is believed to be in
sane. Dowd's seventh victim is man
named William Miller. 40 years old, who
was walking along James street in a
drunken condition. His throat WAS badly
cut, and he was taken to the hospital.

Heard From Sage.


From the Portland Telegram.
Soon after the attempted blowing up of
Ruesel Sage, the Eugene Journal wrote q
highly laudstory editorial on that be-
nevolent and liberal man of straitened
circumstances, and now publishes az
consequence two letters he has received,
one from the celebrated philanthropist,
sage himself, and the other from lone OF
the ablest and most distinguished men,
beers OF the United States senate"
whose name is withheld. Mr.. Sage in
his letter says the views of the Eugene
editor coincide exactly with my own,"
but adds that ''the press is somewhat
scattered in ito views"-something like
that clerk was whom he held before him
~ shield, and then refused to pay any
damages. Mr.. Sage will be friendly
enough with the Journal editor az long
as there is no subscription to pay, but
there is one mystery-how he came to
waste go much money a. 2-cent stamp
and an envelope cost. Perhaps the edi.
tor enclosed them, though.

A Joke on whittier.

Philad elphia Bulletin.
Joseph Garland, with whom the poet
Whittier spent his birthday at Newbury-
port on Thursday, tells With great vehe-
mence and considerable disgust an Incl
dent Of the poets tojourn with him. 1t
seems that last autumn q newspaper cor
respondent called to see Mr.. Whittier
and was told to walk through the house
and into the garden, where the poet
could be found The correspondent spent
half an hour with Mr.. Whittier and then
went away. In his etory OF his inter-
view he uses the phrase "Cartland's
garden" to describe the place where he
talked with the poet. "Thou shouldst
have seen the number of letters that
have come to Mr.. Whittier since then
from strangers, addressed John e..
Whittier, Cartland's Garden, Newbury-
port as If ran beer garden or some
public resort Of that SOFT" Then the
genial old Quaker gentleman, with
cheeks as ruddy as fall apple, himself
only year or two younger than Whit
tier, Strengthened back in his chair and
seemed undecided whether to laugh or
give way to unquakerish comment on
the stupidity of he world in general and
on newspaper correspondents in partic-
ular.

The UnlOvely l'rude.

From the Chicago Herald.
Nobody hates prude more than l do.
would rather have an earache any day
than suffer the infliction of person who
is always being shocked and seeming
improprieties. Such folks ought to be
kept in dark room, like photographic
negatives, for fear the honest light of
day would kill them; they ought to be
forced to wear blinkers, like skittieh
horses, for fear of the effect of random
sights, but let me tell you there is vast
difference between prudery aud modesty.
Without the latter any character is Of
little account. Modesty is the genuine
pearl, prudery the wax bead, modesty
the garden rose, prudery the muslin
blossom created by the milliner's skill,
With neither fragrance nor life. Modesty
is the chief charm of maidenhood, pru-
derry the last resort OF a charmless per
as apparent a humbug as cotton
wrap and shoddy dressing.
