DRIPPED MOLTEN METAL.
Brooklyn's Fulton Street Made Dangerous
by a Trolley Wire.

by a Trolley Wire.
From the New York Morning journal.
There are plenty OF people in Brooklyn who
predict big accident sooner or later upon
Fulton street from the overhead wires which
operate the trolley cars of the City Railroad
Company. Already there have been several
narrow escapes from mishaps to these wires.
One occurred at about 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning. At that time there is usually crowd
of vehicles OF all descriptions on that portion OF
Fulton street between the city hall and Flat
bush avenue, where the large dry goods and
furniture stores are located.
The trolley wire which is to operate the DE
kalb avenue cars connects with the Sd ave-
nue. trolley car wires at the junction just oppo-
site Loeser K Co.'S store. Third avenue car
No. 204. going uptown. had just passed this spot
when there was loud report, followed by a
kissing noise, as though a big skyrocket had
been set off.
The report and this kissing sound came from
the overhead trolley wires which ignitod at the
point of connection. They spluttered and
burned and dropped large clods Of burning SOL
der upon the street and almost upon the backs
OF a number of horses passing at the time. One
end of a burning trolley wire fell across the car
tracks and caused the pedestrians near il to
make very hurried steps Away.
1t was nearly fifteen minutes before the elec-
trio current could be shut off and the broken
wires removed. Then there was block of all
the cars on Fulton street and this was not re
moved for an hour. The Sd avenue trolley
cars had to get over the burned-out locality by
putting on an extra rate of speed rs they reached
1t and then going ahead by their own momentum
until the wire could be picked Up again.
Two similar accidents occurred last week one
at the crossing at Fulton and Smith streets
the other AT Fulton and Adams streets. At both
places the burning wires made blaze and red.
hot solder fell to the street. When the last
mentioned cross wires were ignited one of Their
dropped in front Of the noses of a team o.
horses attached to Gates avenue car and the
animals actually stood upon their hind legs and
screamed from fright.

THE WEEKS RECORD.
Ephraim's Comfort In Afliction.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A venerable colored citizen on Bates street
was shoveling coal ashes into q barrel Friday,
and the rising dust had chung to his features
and shrouded his form.
He was working near a large pile Of them,
and in his haste he overstepped the bounds of
his physical powers. and, slipping in the mud.
rolled over in the ashes until he looked like q
wrath.
A Journal man was fortunately passing by
just in time to see the better half Of the mis-
placed colored gentleman rush from the door
and gaze around after her lord and master.
"Ephrum. whar you be, chile?''
'Chile'' didn't answer.
$40 de Lawd war 20 be, my Ephrum, o

With a long and melancholy groan Ephraim
answered from behind the pile Of coal ashes:
s'An' de LAwd spoke to the chillen OBJ Isrul by

piller Of coal ashes by day. Whaffor you come
ont here . 'sturbin' man wen he's restin' on

MURDER MYSTERIES.
Six Crimes Rivaling Those OF tho White

Denver Special

Six Crimes Rivaling Those OF tho White
chapel Fiend.
A Denver Special.
Six mysterious murders near the little
town of Sebolia, in Arizona, have greatly
agitated the Mexican population of the
locality. The crimes appear to have been
committed by the same person. The
first case was about six weeks ago
when girl about II years old was found
dead on hill near the town. The only sign
Of violence about her was a deep mark on
her throat, showing the imprint of large
fingers, as if she had been choked to death.
There was small cut on the forehead in
the shape OF rude cross, but this was sur
posed to have been done by the body fall
ing to the ground after the girl had been
killed.
The people had not gotten over the ex-
element of this murder when they found
dead almost in the same place a woman
with exactly the same marks on her. Her
throat showed the marks of stranguiatiou,
while on her forehead was the rude cross.
Then followed in quick succession four
other murders two men, women and q
boy-showing that the murderer made no
distinction of persons.
1t il believed that the work has been done
by some insane man, who must be very
powerful. for there are nc signs of violence
about the places where the bodies are
found, and the victims must have been
grasped with such awful strength that they
had no time to struggle before they were
dead. Reports have come In Of a strange
man who Is said to live in a cave in a
mountain and who shuns everybody and
fees when any one approaches his place.
1t is probable that this man Is the muir
derer, and search is now being made for
him by friends Of the people who have been
killed and officers.

FEATHERED HIS NEST.

German Ofhcer an Embexxler to the
Extent OF 81, 900 Marks.
New York special to Cleveland Leader.
During the voyage of the big Cunarder
Aurania to this port, one Of the saloon pas
sengers. a tall. squarely built. military
looking young man made himself conspicu-
Gus by his lavish spending Of money. He
had lots Of II, in gold and greenbacks, and
everybody aboard knew it.
He drank champagne, smoked the best
cigars, and constantly tipped the steward
and walters. With the ladies ne was q
great favorite. and frequently he displayed
his gallantry by permitting them to beat
him at whist and domiuoes. He intro
duced himself to all as Lieutenant George
Edward Krapf OF the German army, and
said he was on leave of abfence. and bent
on a hunting expedition in the Rockies.
When the vessel arrived ut quarantine the
saloon passengers were thrown into mild
state of excitement by the sudden arrest OF
the genial and goOd-looking lieutenant.
Deputy United States Marshall Bernhardt
had boarded the steamer armed with war
rant for the young. soldier on q charge of
forgery and embezzement to the extent of
1900 marks.
The lieutenant was not surprised half so
much as the passengers over his arrest He
merely shrugged his shoulders ana said: =.
"Well. sir. suppose must 60 with you"
"In view of the circumstances, l guess
you WILL" answered Bernhardt.

Bernhard noticed the paleness. Not

the Deputy Marshal firmly. knowing the
propensity German officers have for blow
ing cut their brains when the hand of the
law is about to be placed on them. He had
had such an experience with q German off,
Ger about two years ago.
Without waiting for the lieutenant to
hand out his weapon, Bernhardt placed his
hand in the officers hip pocket and took out
the rev0lver-a handsome silver-mounted
affair. Then he followed his prisoner to
his stateroom and thera searched him. He
found wallet in which were Il. GOO marks

Women Who Have Bank Accounts.
New York Times

The custom Of keeping a bank account
has increased with surprising rapidity
among the women OF New York within the
last five years. There are two banks-the
Lincoln National and the Fifth-avenue-
which have upward OF 1900 women de-
positors each, and special facilities are en-
joyed by women in these two banks.
Important alterations are now being made
in the internal arrangement of the Lincoln
bank In order to give better accommoda-
tons to the female customers.
General Thomas l.. James, President Of
the bank. said last Friday that of the
Sc. 633. 600 OF deposits then on hand, fully
81, 000, 600 stood to the credit of women.
When asked how the women in general
manage their accounts Mr.. James said that
they were more methodcal and more care
full than the men.
They kept their books written up more
closely than the men and never attempted
TO overdraw their accounts. "They are the
