Joseph Hay, aged 26 years, who board
ed at 90 Fifth street and was employed
by Gimbel Bros. as a collector, received
a fatal electric SHOCK at about 5 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, in the passage which
separates GimbeIs' Grand avenue store
from the one facing ON West Water
street. The alley runs from this street
back to the river It appears that at
about 5 o'clock Hay was in the basement

went out and entered the passa geway to
go to the bank Of the river The Badger
Illuminating company recently suspended
an arc light here, about SIX feet from
the ground. Hay did not notice it, as 1t
was not burning at Une GIlle ana lie
struck it with his right temple. Man
ager McLaren and several clerks who
were coming close behind him saw him
reel and fall to the ground. They hur-
red to his assistance but life was tx
tinct. DR.. Spearman was called and
made an examination OF the body. The
right temple was burned to- a crisp and
a scar was furrowed across the head to
the back of the crown. Tt is supposed
that Hay struck the brass carbon sup

lamp. If this is the case it must have
been out of order, as experts declare that
it is always insulated and therefore
harmless. 1t is probable that water got
into the carbon supporter.
Hay was unmarried. His parents re-
side at Burnham station in Waukesha
county. He had been employed by the
firm, for ovar two wears
