KILLED WHILE At WORK
John Eldridge the Victim of a

While Trying to Adjust a Flying Belt

A very distressing and fatal acct

the lower works yesterday morning, in
which Jesse ]. Eldridge was injured.
He died within a few hours after be-
ing removed to the hospital. About
1915 O'Clock Eldridge and a companion
In the mill were in the act of placing
a loose belt on a shaft pulley. E~ldridge
was standing beside one shaft while
his partner was placing the belt en-
the pulley by his side. When the belt
encircled the first pulley it began to
move around the loose shaft at FL
bridges side. In its circuit around the
shaft 1t became entangled, and, 1t is
believed, thinking that a poke with his
toe would set the belt all right, Ell
bridge essayed to kick the flying belt
into position. When he kicked at the
belt with his left foot his ankle was
caught. and in an instant he was
thrown from one side of the shaft to
the other. his head striking the floor
with terrific force. In his flight over
the pulley his leg was literally torn
apart just below the knee, only a
shred of skin holding the mutilated
emnan to the upper part of the limb.

1t costs Sal to cable a single word

dore Dewey been able to cable Presi-
dent Mckinley from Manila, I'VE have

would have cost the hero of the Phil
ippine engagement about $35, and the
fee would have to be paid in advance.
Other considerations han expense,
however, hav delayed a detailed de-
scription of the naval fight in Manila
bay. although word-painting by cable
is an expensive luxury.
1t costs 81 cents a word to send a
cable from Chicago to London, and
SCI to forward it to Manila. A cable
leaving Manila would probably take
the following course: From Manila to
Bolinao. situated oil the west coast of
Luzon, the largest island of the Phil
ippines, on which Manila is also stu
ated: from Bolinao across the China
sea to Hong Kong, thence southwest to
Cape ST. James, thence southwest to
Singapore, on the Malay peninsula:
thence in a northwesterly direction to
Penang on the same peninsula: across
the Bay of Bengal to Madras. India:
thence by telegraph to Bombay; thence
across the Arabian sea to Alden, a
British colony: thence, northwest
through the Red sea to Alexandria.
Egypt; thence in a westerly direction
through the Mediterranean by Malta:
thence to Marseilles, ana thence by
cable and telegraph to London.
After reaching Malta h cable can
travel by several routes to London.
For instance, transmission could be eff

man whom Captain Smith found under

ton.
Weaver had no counsel. and Judge
Brantly, a few days ago. appointed At

yer put up a defense that his client
could not object to under any clrcum-
stances, but IL was a case not to be
