Edward Olson, lineman in the eni-

had narrow escape from death
from handling "a live wire Saturday
afternoon. As it was, prompt restora-
tives brought him back to conscious
ness, and he will probably be entirely
recovered in day or two.
During the afternoon he was work
ing, in company with Albert Burton,
on the company's lines west of Au-
gustana college. About 4 o'clock a
test of the lines was made at the No.
3 hose house and the lights refused
to burn. The two linemFnr them ne
turned to the place where they had
been working and Olson took hold aOf

was down. Instantly his hand closed
over it with a convulsive grip and he
sank to the ground.
MIR. Burton FASTENED to his assist
iance and with a stick pried his hand
free. Olson then became unconscious
and remained so for some time. Mr..
Burton, being alone set to work Wig
orously to induce artificial respira-

ing signs of returning consciousness.
Word was finally sent to the police
station and the ambulance and medi-

I'm the house tomorrow morning when
two special orders of interest are to
be taken up. One of these is the great
er Chicago resolution. The order is
the resolution instructing the state
architect to prepare plans for improve
ments at the state fair buildings.
wheeler to Defend the Architect.
The last named resolution is likely
to be productive of considerable
amount of oratOry. When it was in
trouced by the appropriations commit
tee it was accompanied with some Sc
we're criticisms on the architect and his
office. At that time Wheeler asked
that action on the resolution be post
poned in order that he might make an
investigation of the charge that the
architect was drawing fees illegally. 1t
is expected that he will address the
house in defense of the architect.

what complicated the situation, and
several members who otherwise would
have supported the bill will now vote
against it. On the other hand there
are many who have little sympathy
with civil service reform, and who
have been working openly or secretly
against the bill, but who will now
vote for it on the theory that the
people should have an opportunity to
determine whether or not Il civil serv-
ice law shall be enacted. Under the
circumstances it is probable that the
bill will pass the house by fair ma
iority. The friends of civil service
who wish to secure the passage of IL
law that shall become Immediately
effective will endeavor to have the
referendum amendment killed in the
senate
The convict labor bill prepared by
the joint committee on penal institu-
tons and labor and industrial affairs
is a special order for Wednesday. 1t
is on the order of second reading. Up
to the present time no opposition to
the bill has developed, but it may be
amended when it is taken up.
The following bills are among those
on the order of third reading, ready to
be voted on:
Johnson's bill giving Cook county
circuit and superior courts power to
appoint receivers in vacation.
Lyons to regulate the speed of au-
tomobile on country roads.
Nohe's bills to prohibit telegraph
and telephone companies from fur
nishing news 10 bucket shops and pool
rooms. and to permit county boards to
regulate the abstract business in Cook
county.
s. E. Erickson's bill increasing the
salary of members of the legislature
to $1,000 per annum.
Stewards and Morris bills to amend
the election laws in accordance with
the recommendations of the Cook
county election commissioners.
Rapp'S bill to repeal the law requir
ing burial permits in rural districts.
The consideration of the resolution
to the respect of Hon. David L. Little
is a special order in the senate for to-
morrow morning. The following are
among the bills on the order of third
reading in that body:
Mueller's. for the licensing of agents
of unauthorized insurance companies.
Juul's bills. amending the practice
act in connection with the recon-
mendations of the practice committee
Clark'S and Campbell's bills to per-
NIT the extension of the park systems

struction of the Field museum and
the Crerar library on the Lake Front

phrey and Mueller are also on this or
der.

A f. Greaser Hurt.
Andrew F. Greaser, the former
Rock Island brakeman, was the vic
tim of street car accident about
1890 Saturday evening. He attempt
ed to board an Elm street car at
Fourteenth street and Second avenue.
1t was dark and he became confused
by the light, stepped too far toward
the track and was caught by the fen
der and thrown to the pavement sus-
tanning a scalp wound and various
bruises about the body. He was re-
moved to the home of Rev. Thomas
Mackin where, after receiving surgi-
cal attention, he was taken to his
home at Fifteenth avenue and Thirty
first street. Mr.. Greaser probably
owes the misfortune to the fact that
he is physically disabled as a result
of an accident that occurred while he
was on the road, and the same cir
cumstance renders his injuries the
more serious.

CITY AND COUNTY IsHARmoNIous
Chicago Members Rouse the Ire of the
People from the South.


The greater Chicago resolution is
likely to encounter some opposition
from the county members which was
not expected to develop when it was
presented. The opposition of the Cook
county members to the proposed in
crease in the percentage of tax limita-
ton, which is demanded by a number
of southern Illinois counties, has
brought about threats of retaliation,
and unless this difference is adjusted
the friends of the resolution will find
many of the men from the country
districts lined up against them.
There is pretty well defined di-
vision between the country and the
city already. and it has been in evil
dence ut recent committee. meetings
on the house side. Only day or TWO
ago the comnittecon municipal corpor-
ations voted down Il proposed amend
meat 10 Il bill which was designed to
give the city council of Chicago discre-
ton in some minor matter, the coun-
try members out-voting those from the
city ON the proposition. The feeling
of rural legislators was expressed by
Representative Tippit, who said in the
committve meeting: THE men from
Chicago are always asking us to protect
them from their common council in
tax matters. and if the council can't
be trusted along this line it can't be
trusted in other directions"
