viii h he had on Thursday night. While he was
stan ling with John F. Stanley and John Kehoc
in front Of David Strauss store at the cor

umbrella over his head, he felt shock which
nearly knocked him down and the umbrella was
torn from lis grasp. When he recovered and
looked around he saw that he had touched the
bottom OF an arc light with the ferrule OF his
umbrella, which has metal tube running
through the iol.
There small blister raised upon his right
forefnger where II had touched the latch Of the
umbrella. Mr.. O'Connor was deeply impressed
with the danger he had undergone; and his
nerves were unsteady for the rest OF the evening.
The two arc lights in front Of strauss store
hang so low that man can easily touch them
with his hand. There are many other lamps in
the city which are similarly placed. In wet
weather the insulation is imperfect. and any one
making good contact with one OF the lamps
