STRUCK DEAD A LIVE WIRE.
A House Painter Roasted TO Crisp in
View OF Helpless Hundreds, Sparks
Drowning from his Hands.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. IL. W. W.
Fitzgerald, house painter, met hor-
rible death to day by coming in contact
with an electric hight wire. Fitzgerald
was at work painting the cornice of the
hotel, near which an electric light with
a voltage of 1900 passes. He placed
board beneath the wire and crawled IN
der the cornice to get at his work. The
boa.d slipped and the wire fell
On Fitzgerald's neck. He reached up
to remove it and his hand touched por-
ton from which the insulation had worn
off. The shock paralyzed him. His partner,
VIM. Kirchgesnor, who went to his as
sistance, was knocked down. A half
dozen others attempted to go up the fare
escape but it was too charged with cleo
tricity. All the time, Fitzgerald was
roasting in full view of the hundreds
who had gathered. Sparks were drop
ping from his hands and face, and he
presented a sickenipg sight About half
an hour after the accident, an electric
light employe arrived and cut the wire
and the body dropped to the ground. 1t
had been roasted almost to crisp.

SPEAKING ABOUT FUSION.

Charlotte News.
There is another reason why the Pop
ulists and Republicans viii continue fus-
ion. 1t is well understood that part of
the trade whereby Butler was given t .
long term IN the Senate was that his
friends should support Pritchard this
time. They are honor bound to do so,
and they will hardly dare refuse, no
matter how much objection there may
be to the election of this Republican.
It is also more than probable that the
Republicans viii claim and secure the
candidate for Governor. Some Popu-
lists will kick against this, but their lead
ers will pay no attention TO that.
Now what course should the Democrat
lie party pursue in this State? There is
but one course. Let it stand by its prir-
ciples and make no entangling alliances.
Better thousand times defeat than abate
one iota from the right. We must turn
neither to the right nor the lett
If fusion continues, defeat is by 10
means certain. 1t will never Re as strong
again as it was last year. Thousands of
Populists will not be led into the Repub-
lican party, and thousands of Democrats
who did not vote last year will vote next
year. Let rs show the world that with
us Democracy means something, and
We would rather be right than succeed.
This course will inspire confidence and
create enthusiasm in our own ranks, and
put to shame those men in North Caro-
lima who have shown that they love
office more than they do principles by
making disgraceful alliance with the
Republican party.
Let every man who believes in the
principles Of Democracy stand firm in his
belief, and fight for the right. Victory
may be won this way, it can be won in
no other way.

Fooled.

Two young men who were neatly
duped by a good-looking girl at Mineral
Springs Park not long ago have decided
that there Is no fun in riding on q to-
boggan, anyhow. They were not ac-
1uainted with each other, nor with the
young lady whose foresight proved such
a source Of embarrassment to them, but
all three crowded together on the front
seat Of toboggan car, with the girl in
the middle. The principal feature Of
this slide is a darksome tunnel, where
many cooling couples surreptitiously en-
gage in osculation, and where the sar-
roundings are generally masculine
arms. When this point WAS reached
each young man had resolved to kiss
hat girl. They did not time the oper-
stion correctly, however, and when the
ar emerged from the darkness the
,ectators sent up mighty shout OF
lighter. The youths had been detect
in the act Of saluting each other, for
girl had OWNED their intentions and
\ leaned forward in the hope OF pro-
ne just such a result.-Philadelphi
