TOUCHED AN ELECTRIC REEL.
John Wards Injuries May Cause
His Death.
Policeman Otto Killed at the Same
Spot Yesterday.

ELIZABETH. N. J., Sept. 1s.-John
Ward, of Eugene place, twenty-four
years old, WAS perhaps fatally injured
about o'clock this morning by touch
Ing reel on the pole supporting the
electric light wire at the corner OF
Washington avenue and Pearl street.
The peculiar phase Of the accident is
that 1t was precisely at this point that
Policeman Otto was killed yesterday.
Ward touched the reel, 1t was ex-
planned, for the purpose of determining
whether a certain circuit had been
turned on. He was picked up uncon-
scious and taken to the hospital. His
clothing was scorched and his body was
badly burned. He may recover.
Edward Moore, the employee of the
Claus Bottling Company, who was nearly
killed by taking hold Of a live electric
wire Monday night, Is still at the Eliza
beth Hospital, where fears are expressed
for his life. He received a shock that
shattered his system, and he will lose a
portion of his right hand, where he
caught hold Of the live wire. The. scalp
wound that he received by the fall is
not considered dangerous.
The friends of Otto Moore and Ward
claim that these three accidents in two
days would not have occurred had rea-
sonable precaution been taken in the
management of the electric light wires
Suits for damages may follow.
