TERRIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Gable Car Company Employee Sustnins
1000 Volts and tx Expected to Recover.

1000 Volts and tx Expected to Recover.
New York, March 7.-Joseph Hampel,
an employe of the Lexington Avenue
Gable Power company, while working
at the switchboard to-day, received and
survived an electric shock of about
1000 volts The mans body was burn
ed black from head to foot. Every
stitch of clothing was torn from him,
and he fell senseless through hole
instantaneously burned in the floor by
the terrific electrical power. Hampel
is expected to live.
The doctor who attended him says
there is no case on record of man
withstanding similar shock. The ac-
cid6f1t was caused through Hampel's
trying to tighten loose screw on the
switchboard and in some way creating
a circuit. The enormous power of the
shock may be judged from the fact
that until the circuits were re-adjusted
all the railroads were brought to
standstill.

wind which at one time reached a ve-
locity of sixty miles an hour, causing
tremendous seas outside. The waves

their beats. There was heavy fall OF
snow and sleet, most OF which melted.
A schooner narrowly escaped going
ashore on the Bass Shoal this morning.
She struck once, but huge sea forced
her over the bar and thereby prevented.

TO IMPROTE WESTTILLE.
Meeting of the Society of Village I'm.

|
| provemcnt-A Residents Views
There was meeting of the Village
improvement society held at the Ma
sonic hall at Westville last evening, but
nothing of moment was accomplished.
The society has been in existence for
some months, but with the exception
of the advocacy of new park to be
laid out they have accomplished practi-
cally nothing.
A well known resident of Westville
said last night: 81 am a member of the
Improvement society, and I hoped that
some good would come from the organ
ization. What l, in common with many
Others particularly desired was to see
some decided effort made to improve
the present conditions, not to theorize
on ideal parks and Fairgrounds.
For instance, one good work would
be the removal of that half-burned
building on Whalley avenue, the most
prominent eye-sore of the village; then
tackle the walks on Whalley avenue
right near the postoffice, and also on
Fountain, Pearl and Mechanic streets.
The walks on Pearl street are particu-
larly bad, and this street used by the
most influential men of the town.
"Of course they have comfortable
footwear and can wade through the mud
and slush, but this street is also used
by many school children who are not
so comfortably shod. 1t seems a diff
cult task to reach these things, but it
was hoped that the Improvement soci-
ETY. would educate the people up to a
desire for more modern comforts and
conveniences."
