The Empire reporter also called upon Mr..
j. I. Ford, proprietor of the Oakville Ba5-
ket Factory, in which Mr.. Condor is en-
ployed Mr. Ford said he knew Of the pitt
able condition Condor had been in for years,
and he had thought he would never recover.
The cure was evidently a thorough one, for
Condor worked steadily at heavy labor in
the mills. and apparently stood it as well as
the rest Of the employees. Mr.. Ford said lie
thought a great deal of the young man ard
was pleased at his wondrous deliverence
from the grave and his restoration to vigor-
Gus health.
In order to still further verify the state
ments made by Mr.. Condor in the above
interview, the reporter on his return to
Toronto examined the General Hospital
records, and found therein the entries
fully bearing out all Mr.. Condor had said.
thus leaving no doubt that his case IS one OF
the most remarkable on record. and all the
more remarkable because il had baft1ed

Frank Mccarthy Risks His Life to
Prevent Imminent Peril.

A horse and empty buggy came tearing
down Market street last night at 7:45
O'clock. The animal was bleeding profusely
and was evidently scared 10 the point or
madness.
Drivers of vehicles between Third and
Fourth streets instinciyely drew out OF the
way as the combination came swaying
along. Foot passengers scurried across the
streer, but enc old lady, when about half
way. paused irresolutely and seemed dazet
with fright as she saw the rig coming dash
ing straight in her direction.
At that moment Frank Mccarthy, who is
employed at rs Market street. took in the
situation and rushed out of the store Just in
time to catch a trailing rein and turn the
horse so that one wheel graZed tie trem-
bling old lady and the other scraped his
own knee. Sull he hung on to the rein and
finally managed TO pull up the frightened
horse onto the sidewalk near Fourth street.
When spoken to aiterward Mccarthy
said his friends had declared they wouldn't
have done what he did for a thousand dol
lars but he thought some one might get

any action.
It was ascertained that the rig had been
hired from f. NJ. Walters stable. on the
corner of Powell and Suffer streets. TO a
man named Thomas German, who lives at
7,S California street. Ii was supposed that
in collision German was thrown out and
the horse injured, causing it to run away.

Electricity Now Plays Prominent
Part in Dividends.

III kDis tGGi1IS.
n s. Keith OF the Electrical Engineering
Company returned yesterday from Placer
County, where he superintended the fitting
up OF an electrical plant in the Forest Hill
mine.
There has never been anything like it
anywhere" said lie to CALL reporter.
There Is tunnel half a mile in length, at
the end Of which are located the hoist and
pump. rUH by electricity, while the tunnel
itself is lighted with incandescent globes
night and day
Formerly the tunnel was not lighted at
all except by candles. The pumping and
hosting was all done by cable.
Now about ODe-quarter Of the power
formerly needed is used, and the light is
thrown in gratis.
mo additional force is required to run
the dynamos and generator.
The innovation is important from an
economical standpoint, as much lower
grade Of quartz or gravel can be worked at
profit. For instance. in El Dorado County
they have mine where they can extract
gold for 81 ton, and everything over that is
clear profit. 1t probably pays over 81, and
thus the electricity they use is an important
factor in their dividends.
Electricity is being used more and more
IN mining as the best Levels are worked out.
II is also being used in coal mining, and the
Black Diamond mines in Seattle hoist out
zoo tons day by means OF electricity alone"

years, who lived with his family at 1922

by the neck, dead, in the attic of their

plated such thing. On Thursday night
Mrs. keltOn and her little daughter went 90
a theater, leaving the father at home. They
returned about midnight, and as Mr. kelton
slept in room by himself his wife supposed
he bad gone to bed and did not risk disturb
ing him BY going to his bedroom.
Yesterday morning when Mr.. Kelton
failed to respond to the cali TO breakfast the
little girl was sent to his room with il and
found that the bed had not been slept in

mother brought Join Ewing. a blacksmith

the body down. Kelton had tied a hand
EeTchief tightly around his neck and then 10
that tied a second handkerchief, the other

bis feet up from the stairs and slowly

From the ready manner in which the
merchants respond to the ralls made upon
them by the committee, which is canvassing
the city for subscriptions for the North

judged that the majority Of tie business
men are in favor Of indOrsing Mr.. JohnsOn's
