thousand volts of electricity which was being
sent through the wires at that moment as
test from the powerhouse at Fifty-third-st and
Saventh-ave.. passed into his body at the left
wrist as he was standing on ladder examining
the mass of cables.
He was thrown on the subway tracks. His
wrist was terribly lacerated by the force OF the
current and his skull was fractured on the
floor of the tunnel. but he probably never felt
these injuries as the electric shock caused IN
stant death.
The foremans helper. who was dozen feet
away when the blowout occurred was overcome
by the force and report of the escaping cleo
tricity. When he recovered he ran to the body
of his chief and dragged it out of the danger line

the street Dr. higgins. OF the Hudson Street
HOSPITAL who was called said that the fore
mans death had been instantaneous.
The foreman and his helper were making an
inspection of the wires in all the duct houses

the last nights the wires nave been SUD
iected to severe tests. Fifteen thousand volts
were sent through them on Tuesday night, ana
last night the strength of the current was
doubled The foreman and his helper started
out early i'm the evening. the foreman beginning
at Spring-st. and going south ana the other De
ginning at Worth and going north. They were
on the watch for just such blowout as the one
that caused the foreman's death.
The foreman and his helper met at Canal and
Film SITS where the last duct house they were to
inspect was situated w. III. Fravert, the
watchman there, heard terrifying report soon
after they had left him. and the tunnel was
lighted by binding flash. When he was able

several Yale professors searched high and low
for the culprit for hours. Detectives and Off
GERS from the Police Department also Joined in
the chase. which resulted in the arrest of
Thomas F. Stuart. negro, at early hour this

ii is thought that had Stuart been captured di-
rectly after the assault violent action would
have been taken.
The voluntarily formed posse did not mind the
pouring of the rain and continued their search
until word passed around that the negro had
been apprehended. The police made the arrest
in a Dixwell-ave. saloon, and are confident that
he is the right man.
Several people say they saw man answering
Stuart's description running across lots from
Canal-st., near the scene of the assault, toward
the avenue. When taken into custody the negro
was under the influence of liquor. and therefore
not questioned
The assault was on young woman whose
name is not even known to the police, although
it is understood that she will testify if needed.
The assailant, according to the story told De-
tective Dunlap by the young woman. crept up
behind her. threw his arms around her. cover
ing her eyes, and struck her repeatedly. She
screamed. and. several men appeared. the as
sailant threw her heavily and ran at full speed.
He disappeared in the darkness, and extra po-
lice, patrolling the Yale residential district be-
cause of the recent assaults. appeared Police
Headquarters informed and the search
began. The young woman told her story, but
refused absolutely to give her name. saying she
wished TO avoid publicity. Although suffering
from nervous shock. she said she was not
injured by the brutal attack.
Tonight il said that several assaults on
well known young women of the Yale district
had been made III a similar manner within the
last month. the affair being kept secret as
there clew to the assalant and the
girls wishing to avoid the notoriety caused by
the publicity following such cases.
Stuart will be arraigned before the court to-
morrow morning. The bears bad repu-
tation IN the city and has police record for
drunkenness and minor offences. The last as
sault was made last Thursday on the daughter

VENEZUELA ARMING.
Fear That She Means to Repudidte
Further Indemnity Payments.

Washington. May 25.-Military measures on a
large scale begun recently by Venezuela are
giving rise TO a great deal Of uneasiness and
apprehension here. 1t is said that French
company sold Castro's government 1,5OOOOO
livres worth of artillery. which is being placed
in fortificatIons at Porto Cabello and other
important coast ports. The company also con-
tracted to supply a force OF skilled artillery
men TO man the guns for a certain period.
Just what this expensive armament means
when Venezuela is so poor is matter of spec
ulation here. and there is some fear that IT is
the forerunner Of n reputation OF liablilty ior
further payments OF instalments OF indemnity
under the awards of the recent arbitrations.
