a circuit was formed the boys get
ting the full force of the current
through the wire. Both were knock
ed down, and the larger one fell with
his face across the wire, while the
other boy held on to the wire. Messrs.
Ransom Rivers and w. H. Turner of
the engine house No. 3 saw the boys
fall, and FASTENED to their assistance,
after procuring rubber gloves and a
wooden rake, with which they discon-
nected the wires and cut off the cir
cult. The larger boy, Willie Saunders,
was horribly burned. He fell with his
face across the WIRE and his right eye
was completely burned out, and the
right side of his face was badly char
red. The left eye was also badly burn
ed, enough to cause a total loss of
sight. Both of his hands were burned
to the bone, and his left shoulder badly
mutilated. He also had a deep hole in
his left side just under the heart.
and there is absolutely no hope for his
recovery. The smaller boy was not
so badly burned, although his inju-
ries may prove fatal. His left hand
was very badly burned, so bar, in fact
that if he RECEIVERS 1t will have to be
amputated. His worst injury was on
the back of his head, where the wire
rested. DR.. j. B. Maloney, assisted by
DR.. I. o. Otto, dressed the wounds,
and made the boys as comfortable as
possible.

In the news column of to-day's Sun
there appears, as coming from Mr.. Dit
mars, assistant curator of the Zoolog-
ical Park, a statement in regard to the
existence of a highly poisonous snake
in Cuba. one member of the species
the Fer-de-lance he calls it-having
Travelled from the island in a banana
bunch. Now, with all due respect to
that gentleman's authority, 1 wish to
say that such deadly reptile as the
one in question halls probably from
Honduras or from some other banana
exporting country, for the simple and
only reason that there are no deadly
snakes in Cuba. at least to the extent
of destroying human life. and IL there
is still any lingering doubt in Mr.. Dit
mars mind as to this assertion. he can
consult all leading writer's on Cuba
and its fauna. He will then ascertain
there are some venomous insects in the
island, but not deadly. The "maja, 3"
the largest of the snakes, is entirely
harmless. N. H. Carlo.

A man employed on the steamship
Mascotte tells a rather interesting
story, which is both affirmed and de-
MED. II is in connection with Rests
tencia and it's troubles. The employe
mentioned is a Spaniard, and he knows
many things in connection with ar
fairs in Havana and Tampa. He said
that a woman and $4,000 of the Rests
tencia money was missing. by cute
trick which the woman worked. He
said the sum of $1,000 was raised very
quietly in Havana to be sent to the
strikers in Tampa, and a woman, who
was a member. was selected as the
bearer of the funds. Her name has
been withheld and nothing has been
done to give away her identity. She,
having been a good member of the I'M
ion and a fire-eater, was designated as
the proper person to transmit the funds
to Tampa, and she started with the
money, travelling on the Mascotte. She
arrived at Port Tampa and at once
secured passage for New York and
passed through Tampa in a Pullman
car. When she reached New York,
she booked passage for Spain, or some
where else, and has not yet been heard
from.

PERMITTED TO SEE HIS WIFE.

Atlanta Journal: In order that he
might visit his home in North Geor-
gia where his aged wife is seriously
i'll. Calvin Powers, a moonshiner, was
released from the Tower this morning
on an order signed by Judge Newman,
committing the sentence of the pris-
oner. Powers is So years old and was
sent to Jail for one year and ordered
to pay a fine of 800. His time would
have been out a week from to-mor-
row, but during the eight days that
must elapse between this time and
then his wife may die, and Powers
wanted to see again the partner of hts
joys and sorrows, from whom he had
been separated for over a year. He
petitioned Judge Newman to give him
his freedom. When the circumstances
of the case were explained to the judge
he signed an order Immediately for
the release of the moonshiner, and a
few minutes after the arrival at the
jail of the order Powers babe Jailer
Fain and the turkeys farewell and
made a bee line for the depot, where
he purchased a ticket for his North
Georgia home. Tonight, in the noun
tains of the northern section, in farm
house that has for year been without
a head of the house, there will be an
affectionate meeting between two aged
people, who years ago plighted their
troth and vowed to stick together
through sickness and health. Proba-
bly, the presence of the long absent
husband will have the effect of cheer
ing the wife and lengthening her de-
clining years At any rate. this is what
was wished for Powers this morning
by Jailer Fain and his assistants as
the old man passed through the barred
doors a free man once again.
