GRABBED A LIVE WIRE.
Lineman Was Hurled Is Feet Into the
Air by Shock.

Stamford, Conn.,, July 6.-James
Hayes, % years of age. of Crosby
street, is making a wonderful fight for
life in the Stanford hospital. Shocked
by 1000 volts of electricity and burn
ed from head to foot, he is yet alive,
but the hospital surgeons say he can
not live.
Hayes is a Westinghouse Electric
company employe. He went on the
roof of an electrical locomotive of the
New Haven road in the Stamford
yards today to oil a paragraph, sup
posing that the power was off. The
power was on and when he grabbed
the feed wire with his right hand H.
900 volts shot through his body and
set his clothing on fire. He was hurl-
ed Is feet in the air and every stitch
of clothing was burned off him. He
does not realize that he is dying. The
surgeons say that it is remarkable
that he has lived so long. An inves-
tigation is being made by the police.

morning and continued to pour into
the Union depot until well along to-

at the station was disappointed when
the Tammany men announced that
there would be no parade or any pic

There were no Indian signs" by
which the Denver folk could distin-

FOURTH" VICTIMS.
At Least Four Whose Faces and
Hands Are Burned.

The sane Fourth which was planned
and brought about by the city fathers
over the protests of their patriotic
sons as well as others is passed and
its wake is devoid of the long line of
accounts of accidents large and small.
So far no fatalities have been re-
ported and no really serious accidents,
though powder burns are of such a
nature that serious conditions may
result later.
Mrs. H. L. Thompson of Wanna
maker was brought to Keith's hospital
Sunday afternoon suffering from a bad
cut in her arm caused by a Fourth of
July accident She was watching a
number of boys who were firing a can
non in honor of the day when the acct
dent happened. Their reserve supply
Of powder was kept in bottle and for
convenience sake or some other. the
cork was left out of it, A spark blew
in, and the bottle blew up with the
result that deep cash was cut in
Mrs. Thompson's arm.
The six-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Kinney of 615 Chand-
Ter street was severely burned while
attempting to light a fire cracker. She
was alone at the time and her dress
became ignited and she would un-
doubtedly been burned to death had
not her mother been attracted by her
screams. She smothered the flames
with her skirts but not until the little
girl was severely burned about the
hands, arm and chest. DR.. Keith was
called and dressed the wounds which
he thinks will not prove serious.
DR.. Roby was called to the home
of w. L. Grubbs, corner of Kentucky
avenue and Swan street in Highland
Park Sunday evening to dress wounds

by a belated celebration. The day
previous in celebrating he had lighted
a giant firecracker which failed to ex-
plode. Last night he again attempted
to light it and this time he had better
success and as a result is now confined
to his home with his head swathed in
bandages and waiting for the pain to
cease: The fuse in the big firecracker
was short and the explosion followed
before the boy could drop it and get
out of the way. His forehead is badly
cut and bruised, both eyes badly burn
ed and there is possibility that he
will lose the left eye as result of the
explosion.
Clair Boone. the 18-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George o. Boone of 6l3
Buchanan is numbered among the in
jured who attempted to celebrate the
Fourth of July according to the old
established custom. Doctors GruDDs
and Esterly have labored over him
faithfully and hope to restore him to
health with his eyes in fairly good
shape. In company with a number of
friends he was exploding powder in
a can surrounded with dirt when
premature explosion occurred. His face
is badly bruised, his nose cut and both
eyes more or less injured by the pow
der which was blown into them though
it is thought that he will recover his
sight within a few days.

SULLIVAN TO GET OUT.
VIII Resign as Illinois Member of Ma
tional Committee.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 6.-The
reference of Colonel Guffey, of Penn
sylvania in his answer charging
against William ]. Bryan that the lat
ter has compromised with boss
Roger c. Sullivan, of Illinois-whose
votes he needed. lends interest to a
statement made here by NJ. F. Dunlap.
delegate from Illinois.
Mr. Dunlap declared that not only
would Sullivan not be chairman of the
national committee, but that he would
resign as the Illinois member of that
committee.
Twill he resign of his own free will
or because he faces defeat?" the ILL
noisan was asked.
HE will resign without a fight"
slowly answered Mr.. Dunlap.
Has Mr.. Bryan used his infiuence
to secure Mr.. Sullivan's withdrawn
1T think that Mr.. Bryan will be
pleased"
Particular importance is attached to
the statement of Mr.. Dunlap for the
reason that he and Judge o. NJ. Thomp-
son, of Jacksonville, ILL.,, to whom Mr..
Bryan wrote the public letter request
ing Mr.. Sullivan to withdraw from the
committee. remained here three days

ing New York's representation at the
convention complete.
When the New York delegation went
into caucus here today it was stated
that there had been no change in the
program decided upon at a conference
of the leaders on yesterday when a de-
cision was reached to pass over for
the present the question of policy as to
candidates, both for the presi-
dency and vice presidency. The eau
Gus will assign all these important
matters to subcommittee, which it is
said will be friendly to Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany hall.
Mr.. Murphy was slated before leav-
ing New York for selection as chair
man of the delegation and will be- in
entire control.
Judge Alton B. Parker. it was stat
ed, would surely represent New York
on the committee on resolutions and
New York ideas in the platform. 1t is
believed that New York's position as
to offering a vice presidential candi-
date will depend entirely upon what
sort of a platform is framed up by the
convention. 49,
Judge Parker was busy before the
caucus went into session preparing a
new resolution of respect to the MEM
DRY of Grover Cleveland. 1t was sal
that no copy of the resolution would
be made public until it had been ap-
proved bv the New York state leaders.
According to the program New YORK S
platform ideas will be formulated by
a subcommittee to be named at the
caucus. This subcommittee will nave
access to the draft of the platform as
outlined by Bryan leaders, and Will
make up tentative drafts of its own as
representing New York's desire and
suggestions.
Other than the selection OF Mr..
Murphy as chairman of the delegation
and the filing of convention commit
tee places in order to conform to the
conventions temporary organization
it was said nothing would be developed
at today's caucus.

The Break in the Water Mains Is
Repaired.

After desperate efforts extending over
exactly week. the water works depart

p. m. the driven well points from which
the muddy water was pouring from the
Kansas river into the mains of the city.
A week ago last Sunday break occurred
which started all of the trouble. With
the river at flood tide it was impossible
to locate the break and an effort was
made to supply the city from a masonry
well. which. however, proved futile, be-
ing filled with muddy water which poured
in over the top This morning at IL

TWO CASES OF SMALLPOX.
They Are Guaranteed But Families
Are Exposed.

Two new cases of smallpox made
their appearance in the city Sunday
and in each instance a large number
of other persons, members of the inn
mediate family have been exposed to
the disease.
The city board of health has quar-
antined the family of VIM. Burbank,
1874 Woodruff street: there are seven in
the family; the family of VIM. Drake,
1921 North Van Burn street; there are
six in this family.
This makes three cases to be re-
ported in the last two days. Because
the city had no vehicle at hand. the
one patient was walked out to the city
detention hospital in charge of sani-
tary policeman. The vehicle used by
the city for this purpose was out of
commission temporarily. The patient
had however a very mild case of small
pox and it was just at the incipient
stage so that there is no particular
danger of the contagion spreading. Il
walked him in the middle of the road
all the way" said the sanitary officer.
"and kept on the windward side"

The Saturday Night club will OBJ

There will be a banquet, and speaking
