LIVING IN ELECTRICITY.
Trolley Wires Affect the Water Pipes
and Flames Brighten the Residents

Away.
Harris Kotschinosky a tailor, and his
family and assistants live in a house on
Bond street, Baltimore, which since Satur-
day has been SO full Of electricity that the
occupants have decided that the habitation
is not a safe one.
The exhibition began on Saturday night
when Mrs. kotschinosky was about to use
an iron wash basin. Just as she touched
the spigot a blue blaze shot out and at the
same moment she received a shock that
nearly paralyzed her. When she recovered
the use of her limbs she hurried downstairs
where she found the other inmates hurry
ing out OF rooms. Flames were shooting
from water pipes all over the house. The
display only lasted short time and then
stopped
No more trouble was experienced until
Sunday afternoon, " hen the same thing
occurred. 1t was then decided to call in a
plumber to turn off the water and in that
way stop the current. With the aid of rub
Ter gloves he succeC ded In stopping the
flow of water
became redhot and began to melt. A new pipe
was put In Monday and late in the day the
water was again turned on. That night
streaks OF blue again played around the
pipes, but only for few minutes. Yester-
day morning the same thing occurred and
ever, was quickly extiEguished. The people
are now looking for another house.
The only explanation of the freak is that
two trolley lines pass the house front and
rear and number Of electric light wires
are strung in the immediate vicinity. In
some way they communicate with the Wa
ter pipes, and these in turn became
charged.

dercsi a Private TO Work on sunday.
Preparations are complete at Fort Omaha
for the court rtiai of Maj. Charles
Worth for having ordered Private Cedar
quist to the rifle range on Sunday to COM
plete his target pr. ctice for the month.
The affair hinges on a religious senti-
me-.t that wss recognized by President
Lincoln and enacted into a military law
that no labor should be required of the
members of the army on Sunday during
peace. unless in the case of an emergency
or 10 preserve the health of the men.
The emergency in this case was the fact
that Maj. Worth desired to join FISH
Ing party on Monday. and In order to do
this found 1t necessary that his company
score should be completed on Sunday.
Ceiarcuist refused to obey. He Is a de-
vout church member and declared that he
rreferrel to violate the laws of man to
these of God. The trial will begin on Aug
ust IL and will probably be concluded in a
day as Maj. Worth will plead guilty to
having iss ued tine order.
His defense viii be that the Lincoln order
has been ignored so long In military circles
without any question being raised that 1t
is Ubsufete. and that he cannot be bound
by that, which by common consent, even of
the privates themselves. has never been
observed. Maj Worth can be cashiered
