James Lynch, age about 26, was killed by a shock from an electric wire in Mon son Saturday morning about 8 o'clock. Lynch was in the employ of the Central Massachusetts electric company of Palmer and had gone to Monson to do some work The wires which were to be worked upon were cut off from the main wires, which were carrying a current. Lynch had mounted pole and was leaning against a wire. He reached up and cut off another wire and immediately fell back. The spur on one of his climbers caught on the pole and prevented him from falling. En- plOyes of the hat shop saw him and ut once got a ladder. lIo was taken down and laid on the grass. MT. Rollins, man. ager of the company, at once drove to Monson on being notified of the accident. He found that the wires running to the hat shop had been properly cut off and the current on the wire upon which Lynch was leaning must have come from the ground. When he cut the other wire a circuit was established and the current passed through hls body with Sun1aIent force to cause his instant death. No one can be blamed for the accident, as it was not due to any carelessneSs and could not have been foreseen. A hole was burned in his right leg where the current entered and the tip of the forefinger on the left hand, where the current passed out, was also burned.
 Grace Sedgwick Cushman, 20, died at her home Saturday evening at 7.20 oi tuberculosis of the stomach. Miss Cusb- man was a graduate of Monson academy in the class of '96. She had been attend Ing Miss Wheeler's school in Providence, K. l., which she left on account of her illness. She was a daughter of Mir. and Mrs. k. D. Cushman. She leaves beside her parents a sister, Blanche, and a brother, Edward. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2.80 p. m.

This Is usually done in a sing .song monotonous tone, and before 1t is half finished, some senator moves that It's further reading be dispensed with, and 1t Is a very rare occa lon when anybody objects. The other day after this motion had been made and agreed to and a conference re- port was being read, Senator Carter got up and moved that further reading of the journal be dispensed with", supposing the clerk to be still reading the journal of the preceding day.

THE DREADED BACK DRAFT,
One of the Worst Perils That Confront
 the Bremen.

One of the Worst Perils That Confront the Bremen.
 In St Nicholas there is an article on ''The Perils of a Fireman's Life," by Charles T. Hill, who has written sev- eral articles on the New York fire de- partment for this magazine. MT. Hill says:
 Next to dangerous cellar fire noth- ing is more dreaded by the men than what is known in their own language as the "back draft" This is a sudden veering of the flames, usually caused by the burning away of some portion of the building that gives the fire renewed draft and changes its course completely. The firemen arrive and find the whole second or third floor of building in flames. Axes in hand, they smash open the doors. and with the hose dash up the stairway. This is all afire, and the flames are rolling above like a red pail. With the engine at work and good pres sure on the line, the battle between the two elements, fire and water, begins Inch by inch the men fight their way up the stairway, now to retreat as the fire gains upon them and now to ad- l The encouraging words of the com manding officer are heard behind them urging them on: "Now, get in, boysl That's it-get in-get inl Make the next landingl Hit 1t up, boysr" and all the other words of encouragement that he usually gives.
 They finally reach the landing. They are on the floor with the fire. It rolls away from them. They drive it farther back. Encouraged by their seeming vic tory, they drag up more of the heavy hose to make final dash at 1t, when suddenly something falls in at the rear of the fire that gives it renewed draft. It rolls tow ard them, an impenetrable wall of fire-the deadly back draft Their only chance of escape Is to throw themselves upon their faces, in hope that it may roll over them, or to hurI themselves down the stairs up which they have so gallantly fought their way. Better broken leg or arm than deatt by roasting, and tho water of 50 en- zines could never stay the progress o1 that awful wave of flame.
 Many a brave fellow has lost his life in this manner, and very often all the members of company return with their eyebrows, hair and beard singed off, bearing evidence that they have been "ketched, " as they express it, by less terrible form of this deadly draft
