Reached For Three RevOIvers and
Bowie Knife-WOuld Have Add
ed Murder to Efeet Escape.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-John A.
DELANEY, who, the police say, is want
ed in st. Louis, New York, Washing
ton and particularly by the authorities
of Baltimore, who charge him with
forgery, was arrested at the Hotel
Hanover after a sensational struggle
with two detectives, who owe their
lives to their presence of mind. The
arrest was made in the presence of De
laney's wife, who was in bed. The
wife comes from a good family in Bal
timore and did not know that he was
wanted by the police until the detec-
tives broke into their bedroom. The
couple were married in January. She
had always believed him to be a trav-
cling man.
According to the police, Delaney and
his wife left Baltimore on a trip which
she supposed was for business. The
detectives located them at the Hanp7,
yer. Assuring themselves that the, epurI
pie were in bed, Detectives Thomas of.
Baltimore and Tall of this city broke
in the door. and q struggle instantly
ensued in the dark with Delaney, who
had jumped from bed at the first
sound. A porter turned on q light, and
the prisoner was Don subdued, but not
until after he had attempted to reach,
| revolver that was under a pillow and
another under the bed. While dressing
he said he wanted q vest and stepped
to a trunk, but the detectives antici-
He made three more moves, such as to
get a collar or a handkerchief, and in
zach place the detectives found n
bowie knife. Having been foiled at
every turn, Delaney gave up and, ac-
cording to the detectives, said he
would have made his escape if he
could have reached any II of the six
weapons, even though he had to kill
both of them.
Mrs. Delaney, ~dumfounded at the
whole proceeding, almost went into
Mysteries from surprise and fear.
Among Delaney's personal effects
were found chloroform and a sponge,
Il silk bag which, the detectives say, is
patterned after the kind used by sand
bagging highwaymen, two pieces of
rope, a chisel and a razor.
The prisoner was taken to the city
hall and held without bail to await
requisition papers from Maryland.
Mrs. Delaney's mother and sister
were telegraphed for, and they have
taken the heartbroken I'M home.
Delaney told the police that his pres
ent plight was due to his attempt to
have his wife remain in the same So
cial position she was in when he mar
ried her. Delaney also said he was at
one time confidential agent of Chris
Won der Abe of st. Louis.

PERIL IN ELECTRIC WIRES.
Fires Are frequently Caused by
Badly Protected Conductors
Cases in Montreal Cited.

It was claimed at one time that the
substitution of electricity fcl gas and Pc
tro!eum in lighting would result in a
lessening of the danger from fire. But q
recent report issued by the Montreal
fire and light committee sends to show
that the danger has been increased rath-
er than diminished by the change, says
the Toronto Globe. TIE report gives
q record of $50 fires due TO electric cur
rents during the last three months Of
1903, with an aggregate loss OF $780,
900.
When classed according to causes the
list shows that % fires were due to the
contact of telephone, telegraph and 9TH
er low potential wires with electric
light and other high tension circuits
Wires grounded OF gas pipes were re-
sponsible for 10 fires. Eleven fires were
due to the defective wiring of gas fix
lures, five to the puncturing of gas pipes
by the currents of flexible cords wrapped
around them, three to short circuits in
holdings, three to open link fuses In
porcelain cut out bases, Is to o%verheatec
resistance coils and heating devices and
nine to incandescent lamps coming in
contact with inflammable material. In
the same report 1856 fires are recorded in
which electricity was supected of being
the, cause, but in which all material evil
dences of origin were destroyed.
