A LINEMAN's PERIL.
Gus Erickson Almost Killed by a Live
Light Wire,

ALAMEDA, Jan. 22.-Gus Erickson, a
lineman in the employ of the Sunset Tele-
phone Company. while at work at the top
of forty-foot pole this morning received
the force of the current used in operating
the Alameda and Oakland electric line,

men stringing new telephone wires along
Park street, near the tidal canal bridge
The telephone wire crossed the feeders
of the electric line, and when Erickson
took hold of 1t to make it fast to an in
sulator 1000 volts of electricity went
through his system. The palms of the
mans hands were burned to the bones
the flesh peeling off in strips.
When he received the shock he dropped
limp upon the crossbeamS, where he
dangled for a few moments in midair, the
crowd below expecting that If he was not
already dead from the shock he would be
killed by the fall to the ground, which
seemed inevitable.
Erickson was in q semi-conscious con-
dluon, but he still retained sufficient of
his senses to clutch the pole with his
arms He swung his body from the cross
beams and darted feet first to the ground.
He broke the force of the fall by cling
ing TO the pole until he was within ten
1eet or the bottom, when his strength
gave way and he dropped to the pave
he was carried into a house near by
Where he was attended by DR.. E. NJ

INVESTMENT OF A SYNDICATE
BUYS FURNACES, RAILWAYS
AND COAL LANDS.
Strongest Company Ever Organized
in the South Will Develop
Hitherto Untouched
Resources.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 22.-The
largest business transaction made in
the South in ten years has just been
made here. It involves an investment
of ST., ,000, 900. The Virginia Coal, Iron
and Railway Company has bought the
immense blast furnaces at Max
Meadows, Pulaski, Roanoke, Va, and
Bristol, Tenn: also the Bristol and
Elizabethton and the South Atlantic
and Ohio Railroad. Cash is paid for
all the properties, The company be-
comes owner of 125, 900 acres of coklng
coal lands, 10000 acres of ore lands,
two railroads and nine furnaces. The
railroads extend from Big Stone Gap,
Va, to Elizabethtown, Tenn, passing
through Bristol, Tenn, and the rich
coal, mineral and timber lands Of the
new company.
The result of this transaction is due
to the efforts Of Colonel E. j. Sanford
of this city, president of the Knoxville
and Ohio Railroad; Colonel q. M. Nc
Ghee of this city, who is known among
the railroad magnates, and Mr.. Ben
Dulaney of Bristol, Tenn. Colonel San
ford and Mr.. Dulaney interested New
York people in the enterprise and or
ganized the company with $1,5O0,OOO
stock subscribed and the same amount
OF bonds were issued ana Solu Ior SpoI
cash. E. B. Chapman of Moore &
Schley, the new York bankers. car
ried the deal through and that firm un-
derwrote the bonds.
The Bristol Furnace was purchased
over a year ago by Colonel Sanford and
Colonel McGhee, thereby forming the
nucleus of what has developed into
such a strong concern. This furnace
will be put into active operation imme
diately, under the management Of
George T. Carter, president of the new
company, who has for ten years been
president of the Carter Coal and Iron
Company.
The gentlemen composing the COM
pany have made propositions seeking
the purchase of the furnaces at john
son City and Embreeville, Tenn. The
company is the strongest ever organ
lied in the south for a similar purpose.
1t will develop untold resources hereto
fore untouched. East Upper Tennes-
see and Southwest Virginia are rich in
coal, iron zinc and other minerals, to-
gether with valuable forests of timber
of every description. The develop
ments Of these properties will begin at

ALAMEDA CAMPAIGN
WILL BE CLEAN CUT
HARMONIC HALL PARTY WoR-
RIES THE CANDIDATES.
Declares There Must Be Two Distinct
Tickets in the Field and That
They Are Out for
Patronage.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 22.-The Harmonic
Hall party declared itself this afternoon
at a meeting of the general committee
and tonight all the politicians in town are
discussing the actions of the leaders and
some of the admissions made at the meet
ing.
A few evenings ago the Harmonic Hall
executive committee adopted the follow
ing resolution:
''It is the sense of this committee that
any candidate who signs the platform Of
the Municipal League convention be not
supported by this committee"
AS most of the local candidates had
been striving to shut off opposition by Sc
curing the Endorsement of both the
League and the Harmonic Hall people,
the resolution sent them scurrying around
to ascertain where they stood. Then a
mighty howl went up against the resolu-
ton. 1t was characterized as a high
handed piece of business and an effort
on the part of one or TWO men to run
the Harmonic Hall machine.
The meeting this afternoon was called
for the purpose of discussing the actions
of the executive committee. The outcome
was that the resolution was indorsed and
the action Of the committee ratified.
AS a result, two complete tickets will
he in the field at the spring election, a
condition never heard Of before in Ala
media politics.
Wv committee, said the purpose of the
ution was to compel every candidate
he ticket TO get in and work for the
Ny.
1t has been the practice" he said, "for
me of the candidates to get on all the
skets, and then when election day came
nd they had a cinch on their jobs they
gould take things easy and smile while
he rest of US worked"
He also dWelt on the assertion that Har-
monte Hall was out for the public patron
age, and If the party was successful in
the spring every appointive office to be
filled must come from the ranks of the
Harmonic Hall organization. This is
another thing never dreamed of before in
fhe municipal affairs of Alameda.
Alexander Mackie, who is a candidate
for City Trustee, addressed the meeting
and charged that the city electric light
liant was conducted in an eXtravagant
ianner and that the city's accounts were
gept very loosely. He asserted that the
tfv government could be run on a tax
svy of 70 cents instead of 81 % as at pres
mt.
b. j. Smith retorted by stating that
Mache did not know axle grease from
lubricating OIL The chairman shut off
the acrimonious debate before any blood
was spilled.
IT was proposed to suggest names to go
AZ the party's ticket, but such action was
nut off by the unique statement from
ecretary Muller that there would be a
Feneral understanding that the executive
committee would-take the matter in hand
and determine who the candidates should
