George IIanseIman the UnfOrtu-
nate Victim.
THE BODY FRIGHTFULLl BURNED.
Discovered With the Fatal Wire
in His Grasp.

George Hanstlmau, an emp oye OF
NcCrow & Steuslofl butchers, was
found this morning in one Of the colo
storage vaults of that company dead,
with the living wire, that had caused
mis- uniimely demise grasped tight in
ais hands, as if the last thing he had
tried to do was to push away from him
the fiery and demon-lIke wire that wa.
causing him intense pain.
Hanselman entered the market this
morning at the accustomed time, and
,cted as well as usual. He was cheer
iul and happy and performed bis duties
- he had done every day for the last
eighteen months. He started out Oh
some trivial errand, aud as he passed
out toward the back door, it was the
last seen of
GEORGE HANSELMAE ALIVE.
This was at O'Clock this morning,
Ennis Wait was ia the market at the
time and busted himself in tending to
his customers. About three quarters
Of an hour alter Hanselman left the
store Wait had occasion to enter one of
the large cold storage refrigeratoTs and
finding the door locked, an unusual
occurance at this time Of the day, pro-
creded to enter the refrigerator through
another door, and as be passed from the
one to the other he came upon
HANsELNIAN's DEAD BODY.
The shock was enough to scare any
man out o. his senses, but Ennis Wait
evidently did not lose his presence of
mind, for instead of graspiug or trying
to wrench the wire from the dead
man, he left him entirely alone and
ran for help. Tie first man he met
was his father, T. b. Wait, and after
lighting lantern they proceeded again
TO the presence of death.
A CHASTITY SIGHT
met the view of the father and son.
10 the doorway between the two re-
frgerators, lay the Eapless man. His
face was horribly coutorted, the electric
light was throwing its weakened rays
over its victims pale face, and the
stencil of his burning hands was some.

caution the current was turned off he.

second time, and as the electricity ceased
coursing through the body, 1t slipped
down in more relaxed position on the
door, his hsnds fell 10 his side and his
legs slraightened out. for this with him
WAS the long sleep Of death.
No sooner had the current teen cut
