BOY NEARLY ELECTROCCTEp.

Luke. the 12-year old son of Mrs. Mar
tina Gallagher, of Barre, met with seri-
Gus accident on Friday afternoon while
playing with some other youngsters near
the sheds OF the Empire Granite com
pany He attempted to get away from
the other boys by climbing to the roof
of Browns blacksmith shop and to faci-
litate his assent, grabbed hold of wire
which ran down the side of the building.
/ The wire happened to be live one but
the current was not on until he he had
assembled some distance when ii came
on with such force that he was not able
to release his hold. One of the other
boys6 seeing his predicament, ran for
help and summoned Officer Nicholson,
who released him by prying his hands
open with a stick. He was taken home
and physicians summoned, when it was
found that the flesh of the left hand
had been burned through so that the
! bone was exposed, while the right hand
WAS not so badly burned. 1t is feared
that the boy will lose the use of his left
. hand.

Cormoranta AZ Signals.

An incident OF peculiar nature oc-
Cured recently at the Bell Rock Light
house, says the Scotsman. At II one
night the keeper on watch was startled
by the sound Of a steamers whistle in
close proximity to the rock. On going
out On the balcony sthe steam tug
Alexandria of Arbroath was observed
in the clear moonlight within haillng
distance.
A strong westerly wind and the beat
Of the sea against the base Of the tow
er made conversation somewhat d.tfi-
cult, but it was understood that the
tug had been sent out from Arbroath
In response to signals. which were re-
ported to havs been shown from the
rock that day. On being assured that
all was we'll, and as no landing could
be effected at the time, the tug return
ed to Arbroath.
The solution of the mystery is as fol-
lows: When signals are made from the
rock, two-foot disks are run out on
poles, which project horizontally from
either side of the balcony, Daily OBJ
servatiOns are taken BY the keeper on
shore duty In Arbroath "a distance Of
twelve miles from the rock) by the
aid Of powerful telescope, and what
appeared to him to be two disks on the
southwest pole, which mean "Send
boat Immediately" were in reality two
cormorants, which, tired out at fishing,
had made the signal pole resting
place.

Topeka, Kan. June s.-A disastrous
collision between Santa Fe passenger
trains at Stilwell. this afternoon, kill
ed nine people and seriously injured
six. Train No. / was going west at
full speed and crashed into the Chi
cago section of No. s, east-bound.
The trains were routed on the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks on account of the
floods which washed out the Santa
Fe tracks. Orders we're sent out by
the train dispatcher today for both
trains to meet at Stilwell.' 1t Is
charged at the Santa Fe once here to-
night that the crew on the Chicago
train disregarded this injunction. and
ran a mile or more past the meeting
place. No. / did not stop at Stilwell,
but on running slowly by the engi-
neer saw no other train, and as he
had clear track according to his or
ders he rushed ahead. No. whistled
