LINEMAN INJURED.
EmplOye of the WestbrOOlx Company
Shocked and Fell

Mr.. Andrew Myers, lineman in the
employ of the Westbrook Electric Light
and Power company, received yesterday
quite bad burning and a serious fall as
a result of a shock Of electricity.
Mr.. Myers is man of about flfty-four
years of age and resides at Westbrook.
For years he worked in the employ of one
of the telegraph companies as lineman,
and is one of the best linemen In the
business. Mr.. Myers was at work with
crew of men on RackIeff sire ct, near the
corner of GIenwood avenue, yesterday
forenoon. The men were engaged in
strlnging new wires. The foreman adj
vised Myers to tie one end of the rope to
the wire and then throw the rope over the
wires of the Deering Electric Light COM
pany, and the men on the ground would
haul the new wire up into place. Myers
was working on the pole at the time near
the top. Instead OF doing as advised,
Myers threw the wire over the wires Of
the Deering company which carried
about $500 volts of electricity. Mr.. Myers
reached under with his left hand to haul
the new wire into place. The new wire
came in contact with the Deering COM
pany's wire and as Mr.. Myers was stand
ing on one of the iron steps on the pole,
circuit was completed AMI he received
heavy shock. A bad place was burned in
the palm of his left hand, and another
just under the elbow. The current also
passed through his body and made quite
burn on the right foot which was rest
ing on the iron step His fellow work
men knew the risk that they took in try
ing to climb the pole to aid the injured
man, so did the next best thing, which
was to twirl the rope in such a way that
it wound around Mr.. Myers leg three or
four times. With the rope in this man
ner, Mr.. Myers started to lower himself
by sliding down on the rope All went
we'll until within about ten feet of the
ground he lost his grip and fell heavily
to the ground, striking flat on his back.
DIR. @. w. Foster was called and an am
bulance summoned to remove the injured
man to the Maine General hospital,
where he is reported as resting quite COM
fortabIy, although the worst is not
known as there is danger of internal in
juries Mr.. Myers being very heavy
man and striking as heavily as he did,
there is danger OF a concussiona of the
spine

DEATH BY HEART DISEASE.

Edwin ID. Reynolds, the we'll known
trunk dealer in Congress square, died
suddenly during Thursday night of heart
disease. He has been accustomed to sleep
in the basement of his store, and was
there last night as usual. Yesterday
morning his clerk opened the store and
arranged the goods for display on the
sidewalk, supposing that Mr.. ReynoId
was asleep below. He did not appear,
however, and search was made in the
basement, the result being that Mr.. Rey-
nolds was found sitting in a chair, having
been dead for some time. DR.. Clarke was
called and pronounced the cause of death
to be heart disease. Mr.. Reynolds had
been afflicted with this disease for some
time. Coroner Perry was called, but of
course no inquest was necessary.
Mr.. Reynolds was man about forty
years of age and had no immediate
family He had two brothers, one of
whom is in Australia, and the other is at
sea. He also had two aunts in this city

work was done by both teams, although
for the most of the players this was their
first game Of the season. DR.. Pond, the
former Baltimorean, had not even seen a
game of ball since he had left to go to the
Philippines two years ago. But for all
this lack of practice the brilliant young
Vermont man showed up in grand style
in all departments of the game. His
work was easily the star feature. He
started in as a left fielder, but was soon
called upon to take his place on the slab,
succeeding Byrne. The doctor was evil

The United States
Defines it's Position
as to China.

The news brought from Washing
bon by cable yesterday to the BoLE-
Tin in respect to the Official Note
addressed to the Powers by the
Government CT the United States,
shewG that that Government is det.
srmined to give no opportunity for
misunderstanding as to its attitude
in the present Chinese crisis.
Its purpose in sending troops to
China, as stated in the cablegrams,
il primarily to protect its citizens
and to hold to strict responsibility
ali who take the lives of the soldiers
or sailors of the United States or
destroy the property of Americans.
In addition, the United States pro
mises its aid in bringing about peace
and establishing order in that
much disturbed country. Fourther
than this, such is the notice served
on the world, it will not 90, and the
spirit of the announcement would
almost indicate that it weuld, so far
~ possible, prevent other nations
from doing SO.
But, it may be asked, il not this
almOst identical with the avOwed
purpose and published declarations
of each of the other Powers at pre-.
sent operating in Chinai Aye.
such is the purpose, as opsrly avow
cd, but in no case except that of the
United States, are these avowals
taken to mean much.
The truth is, each Of the Euro.
pean Powers is jealous and distrust-
full of its neighbors. At present
united in just and holy cause, each
is watching the other for some indi-
cation Of a covert purpose to gain
individual advantage At the expense
Of the coalition. LII fact there is q
painful strain in the relations bet.
tseen some of the Powers caused by
the astions Of one or the other sshich
have aroused suspicious of their
geOd faith.
Thesmanly, clear, ringing declara
tion Of the United States has, it is
to be hoped, come at the proper
moment to clear the air and open
the way for more deeply secured
mutual International agreements
between the nations represented in
the Gulf of Pechili, to work together
in harmony for the accomplishment
Of the purposes which originally
brought them there.
1t this way, and this only, can the
grave difficulties in the situation be
successfully overcome.
