LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE
FALLS ON THE STREET
Dropped On a Coal Wagon
and Caused Much Ex-
citement

Considerable excitement prevailed at
Front and French streets shortly after
10 o'clock this morning, caused by the
breaking Of a trolley wire Of the VIII
mlngton City Railway Company.
The accident was due to the entan-
clement Of the trolley pole on a Ches-
ter car with the wire overhead caus-
ing Il TO give way and fall upon the
street. AS the live wire came in con-
tact with the car tracks tongues of
electricity darted from Il and sputter-
ed IN every direction much to the con-
sternaion OF many pedestrians. In
falling the wire dropped across a coal
wagon owned by John M. Solomon
which was standing along Front street.
Fortunately the driver was not on his
team as his death would undoubtedly
have ensued as the end OF the wire
struck the wagon seat and with n splut-
ter slid TO the ground. The horses, be-
coming frightened reared and plunged
in an effort TO get away and succeeded
in reaching the sidewalk before they
were checked.
II was nearly a half hour before the
break could be repaired and In the
meanwhile a number of trolley cars
were tied up and traffic suspended.

THREE CHANGES SUGGESTED
Mr.. Handy Thinks Contingent Fund
For Attorney General Should
be Larger.

L. Irving Handy, who was the candidate
for Encouragement on the Democratic
ticket at the recent election, stated this
morning that it was his opinion the COM
ing Legislature should strengthen the
hands Of the attorney generals depart
ment. Mr.. Handy says he would suggest
three changes of law.
The first change he would suggest would
be to increase the contingent fund placed
at the disposal Of the attorney general
to 5000. or as much thereof as he would
find necessary. The second change would
be TO give the attorney general an addi-
tional deputy. so that he would have one
for New Castle county and one for Kent
and Sussex counties. Third. increase the
attorney generals salary from 5000 TO
5000 a year. He also thinks the salary OF
the deputy should be $1,000 a year.
Mr.. Handy explained that such a con-
tingsnt fund would enable the attorney
general to Investigate and bring to trial
those guilty ,f election corruption in
Delaware.

MRS. CHADWICK is SANE

dsnee Of lrresponsibility.
N Pnhllshers' Press.


Cleveland. O., Dec 20.--Dr. Allan Nc
Lane Hamilton, Of New York. who tes-
titled In the trial Of Guitoau, and also
examined Czolgosz. has made a psyche
logical study of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick,
and he declares that she is not insane. He
says:
Originally an ignorant woman, Mrs.
Chadwick came TO possess a highly devel-
oped knowledge Of human nature An ocu-
lar weakness gives the eyes a peculiar
shifty expression. Her photographs show
hard face, the jaw suggesting deter
mination.
"She exercised the subtlest kind Of in
telligence. and personal influence was sec
ondary. Her methods need not imply the
exercise Of any occult power, nor any
thing but the peculiar personality Of a
remarkable woman. She always exercised
an unusually efficient power of suggestion.
1t Is difficult TO find In her conduct any
suggestion Of insanity or any mental state
that would bring with It responsibility.
She is the product Of twentieth century
high finance"
