II. II. Winters, vicepresident Of the
Dunmore Electric Light, Heat and
Power company, was instantly killed
in Dunmore Saturday evening by cleo
tricity. Thrty-five hundred volts of
the electric fluid, about four times the
voltage necessary to kill, struck him
lifeless while he was aiding one of the
company's lnemen to repair a faulty
circuit.
While talking with a group of friends
in the postofIice Mr.. Winters was told
by Patrolman Bulger that the arc lamp
in front of Murphys hotel was out and
was affecting the service of other
lamps on the circuit. Mr.. Winters
sought Lineman John Armbrust and
went with the latter to fix the defective
lamp
Armbrust climbed the pole and low
cred the lamp He cautioned Mr.
Winters to be careful in handling the
mechanism Of the lamp and was maxi
ing his way down the pole when Mr..
Winters was heard to groan and then
fell lifeless.
GRASPED THE CARTOONS.
He had grasped the two carbons in
the lamp, completing a deadly circuit,
which was made more deadly by the
contact OF his feet on the street car
rails.
The body was carried into the hotel
and, Dr. Frank Winters, the unfortu-
nate mans brother, summoned. While
calls were hurriedly sent to Drs. Muir
ply, Garvey and Brown, Dr. Winters
pronounced his brother dead. The hope
! that he could he resuscitated led the
! four physicians and Frank f. Wage,
| general manager of the company, to
work over the body for an hour and a
| half. Artificial respiration and other
means were employed, but to no avail.
| He had been killed in the fraction of
| a second by an abnormal voltage of
$500
The flesh of each hand had been bad
ly burned by the current. Mr.. Winters
was familiar with the construction of
arc lamps and it is presumed he acci-
| dentally came in contact with positive
and negative carbons or had mistaken
| ly supposed he had shut off the current
by means of a switch in the top of the
lamp.
PROMINENT YOUNG MAN.
Mr.. Winters was 20 years old. and
one of the prominent young business
men of the borough. He was a son OF
DR.. Peter Winters, deceased and was
soon to be married. On the death OF
his father he inherited over $4,000. He
was a member of the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, Knights of Malta and
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics. one year ago he was elected
borough auditor and had two years tC
serve in that office.
The directors of the company will
take action on Mr.. Winters death al
their regular meeting this evening.
The funeral will be held tomorrow af'
ternoon at the house on Blakely street

KIMBALIL
PIANO

Great musicians use Kimballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from 81, 900 to $1,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav-
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:
"The more use my Kimball piano the
better like it." Jean De Reszke says;

News came to j. B. Gossett last
Monday of the death by suicide Of
Eugene Carson at Los Angeles, Cal
Carson was born in this county and
was raised in Stephens, and was %
years old at the time of his death.
He was a printer by trade, and left
Stephens in the summer of 1896
going to Texarkana, where he
worked awhile at the printing
business He went from that city
to California, and shot himself at
Los Angeles on Thursday night last,
killing himself instantly The rash
act resulted from low spirits caused
by a low state of health. He was a
nephew of Treasurer j. B. Gossett,
of this city.-Ouachita Herald.
Young Carson worked in this
Office as stated. He was often
very respondent and appeared to
be partly demented. He attempted
suicide at Ogemaw, before going to
California, we learn.
