CORONER WHLINYESTIGATE
Inquest to Be: Held Over the Lad
Killed bpa Live Wire.
One of His Conspa Mons Was Also
Injured, but Not Seriously, by
the Charged Cable.

The body of little Eddie Handler, the
eight year Old son Of FrancisA. Handler, who
was killed by live wire while at play
yesterday morning, lay at the boys home,
No. 1875 Twenty fifth street northwest,
all day yesterday.
The story OF his death was told in yester
days Evening Times. During thedayman
or thelittle fe ellowsplaymates came To look
for tue last time at their companion and
offer their childish sympathy 10 the sor-
rowing Observation-Disclosures. Tneboy s tragic
death was a great shock to his parents,
especially the father who had seen him
leave the house but few moments before
lie was called 10 carry sson's body home.
The accident occurred on a vacant lot at
Twenty fifth and streets and 1t is almost
miraculous that several Others were not
discovered.
The lot Is used as a short cut from street
TO street and many pedestrians pass over
IL during the day. Assistant superin-
tendent Chamberlain or the United states
ElectricLight Company, who made an IN
yestigation soon after the accident was
reported to him, stated that the wire was
OF the alternating system and carried a
current OF 1,200 volts. Such voltage
was Sulnclent 10 cause instant ueatu anu tne
usual precautions had been taken. The
wire was new one, having been strung
scarcely two months, and the insulation
was considered perfect.
Mr.. Cha hamberlain could not account for
the wire being down. He said that 1t
supplied the current for the light at the
Metropolitan car stables and the riding
academy on T street and had 1t fallen
during the night these lights would have
gone out and the break would have been
discovered at once. President Thomas OF
the Electric Company seemed inclined to
the opinion that the wire had been cut,
but would not make u positive statement
to that effect. While deeply regretting
the accident he said he did not think
the company to blame, but would make a
thorough investigation.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook will hold an
inquest at 8 p. IN. today at the Seventh
precinct station.
companion of the dead boy, Thomas
Fitzgarrell, had a narrow escape from
death. He stepped on the wire and sus-
tained "a laceratiop of the foot, but how
lie esca ped the fate OF Handler is one OF
those mysteries the subtle fluid is COLI
s,antly offering for solution.

SEARCHING FOR POISON
Estelle Holden's stomach Is to Be
AnalyZed


AnalyZed.
An Inquest over the body of Estelle
Chisley Holden was held by Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook yesterday at the Sixth pre-
cinct station. The woman died under
suspicious circumstances early Sunday
morning, as told in yesterdays Morning
Times. sug
An Investigation by the police of the
First precinct resulted In the arrest of
Charles Holden, the woman's husband. and
Lizzie Clayton, Mamie Mann and Jessie
Cook. The four prisoners were examined
at the inquest and told what they knew
of the circumstances surrounding tl.e
woman's death. Although no verdict was
reached the jury ordered that Holden and
two OF the women be held pending a
chemical examination of the dead woman's
stomach.
Jessie Cook, who was taken into custody
on suspicion, was released. Sergt Acton
and Officers williams and Warren, who
arrested the women, hoped that she might
throw some light upon the case. but her
testimony proved immaterial. DR.. Sterling
Ruffin performed an autopsy on the body
OF the woman yesterday morning. He
was unable to discover any signs of poison
ing. but removed the stomach. which has
been sent to the District chemist for ex-
animation. The inquest was adjourned
pending this examination.

AMNESTY.

..The good cause of Amnesty" Is; by it's
inherent justice, winning support and
sympathy not merely in these countries
and America, where Irish influence is
strong, but in far-off Africa, where as yet
cur countrymen have not obtained either
in numbers or In influence any marked
preponderance, says United Ireland. In: the
government Of the Cape so late as Friday
last motion, calling upon the Imperial
Government "to extend to the Irish polit-
ical prisoners similar cGemency to that
exercised by President Kruger towards
the Reform Leaders, was agreed to with
out a division. This admirable act OF
sympathy is all the more valuable and
praise worthy from the circumstance that
it was absolutely spontaneous, spoke the
living sentiment of the assembled repre-
sentatives, and was not by any means the
outcome Of political scheming or intrigue.
It was. no matter from what point viewed,
a grateful and kindly message Of SYM
pathy to the political prisoners, and must
tend to promote strong bond Of sympa-
thy between the old country, struggling
to be free, and the young commonwealth
that already blooms with life and health
and vigor under the saving aegis Of a
native Parliament. 81 e...

It would seem that as Mr.. Gladstone Is

is losing the restraint that his great toll

how, when he was laundering his an

politan prisoners he was hardly as wrath
full as he is now In his attacks on the Sui

towards the Armenians. The thought Of

what extent it ID not yet certain.
Senator Roach, on his way from the con-
vention in Chicago, said to reporter in
this city:
.'The delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton were largely new men, and came fresh
from the people. The old leaders were
many Of them present, OF course, but their
power for leadership seemed to be gone.
The delegates were there at the command
Of the people apparently to perform a task
set for them to do by the people. II the
old leaders could have had their way the
platform would have consisted of string
of tariff chestnuts as usual. But the dele
gates would have none OF it. The people
think, and think with perfect Justice, that
the question which most vitality appeals to
the common veal at this time is the ques-
ton of the finances. They have deter
mined to settle that question first, leaving
all other social topics inabeyance until it is
settled.
II regard the late Chicago convention as
The spasm which begins the regeneration Of
the Democratic party. When the people
are once fairly awake on any question they
seem to be inspired, and the enthusiasm OF
the Chicago convention was an evidence Of
that inspiration.
.'The nomination of Mr.. Bryan marks a
new epoch in American political history
as the discovery Of Jackson did in 1924,
and Lincoln in 1860. When Jackson, the
.ncouth militia general, was first nom
mated, scholarly New England laughed,
