ELECTRICITY KILLS TWO.
Son and Mother, Latter Having Tried
to Rescue Former.

New York, April 16.--A double trag-
edy, in which mother and son We're kill
ed, the death dealing instrument being
an electrical apparatus used to operate
d chicken incubator, the invention of the
young man himself, occurred yesterday
at Croton Falls, West Chester county.
The victims OF the accident were Daniel
Jeungst, ,Ir., aged 80 years, and his
mother, Mrs. Anna Jeungst, aged so
years. The husband and father, Daniel
Jeungst, made the discovery an hour
afterward.
The Jeungst brothers own the elec.
trio plant which. supplies the lights for
the station and streets of the village
of Croton Falls. The younger Jenngst
was in the chicken raising business and
he invented an incubator which was
operated by electricity, which he got
from the Jcungst plant.
While experimenting with his ineu
bator by which he hoped to hatch FIVE
hundred chickens at a time, the younger
Jenngst early Yesterday attempted to
shut off the electricity current and in
reaching for the switch caught hold om
live wire and 1000 volts Of electricity
shot through his body, killing him in.
stantly.
His mother who accompanied him to
the incubator house, and who held the
lantern, realized that her son was in
peril and thoughtlessly grabbed the wire
to pull it away. She, too, was instantly
killed.

That Of Benjamin Franklin Rushed to
Washington.

New York, April I6.--The portrait of

gallery in Dorcheter house, London. at
present the residence of Ambassador
Whitelaw Reid, which has been restored
TO the United States by Earl Grey, the

terday on Steamship st. Paul.
The tin case containing the canvas
was placed under the personal care OF
Thomas Kinsey, the purser. IL was adj
dressed; ITO the Honorable President,
Theodore Roosevelt, Washington
As The picture came from this coun-
try originally, there was no duty paid
upon II, and in the letter from the
steamship company to the purser il was
stated that its value was beyond count
because Of the sentiment which attached
to it.
In view of the biccntenary Franklin
celebration in Philadelphia this week,
Earl Grey, who. with Countess Grey,
was recently entertained IN this country,
thought 1t fitting that the picture should
be restored at this time. The portrait
went to England during the revolution
airy period and became the property Of
Earl Grey, great.ersndfathcr Of the
present earl. 1t was taken from Frank
Inns home in Philadelphia.
The painting has been cleaned and re-
vanished and Is in excellent condition.
It depicts Franklin at an earlier period
Of his life than the generally known

BIG SEWER BREAK
ON NO. MAIN STREET.
Is Between the Rails Of the Electric Rail

discovered in the main city sewer, d.

iby the breaking Of cuivert, under
Main street at that point, the culvert
being the one which drains the swamp
on the eastern side OF the street. The
small streams which flow through the
swamp we're swollen by the recent rain
and the pressure of The water in the
narrow sluice way pushed out the stones
from 4 weak place in one side and grad

thought that the weight Of ihe electric

of residents in that vicinity.
The superintendent OF streets, Fred
Bruce. has half dozen men at work
