FATAL SHOCK.
Mr.. Chas. Lundy Meets Instant
Death From Live Wire.
TELEPHONE LlNEMAN.

He Was Elcctrocuted While Work.
ing on IA Telephone Wire, Which
Was i'm Contact With Live Electric
Wire. The Unfortunate Man Had
Been Knocked From Wire Some
time Ago.
The Columbia State says those who
watched Charles Lundy ascend a
telephone pole on upper Main street
Thursday about noon saw him reach
for cable, fall across two wires
and, while sparks flew from every
metal substance on his person, saw
him make only one convulsive jerk
and realized that he had been electro
cuted.
About $3.50 volts had passed
through his body and the unfortu-
nate lineman had died almost in
stantly. For fully 15 minutes the
body hung across the wires in mid
the tragedy telephoned at once to
the telephone and electric power COM
panies to have all current shut off
until Lundy could be brought down.
The request was not very promptly
complied with. In the meantime me-
dical aid was summoned, but it was
too late One third of the amount
of voltage would have been sufficient
to cause death even to those who are
used to heavy shocks.
The death of Mr.. Lundy is the cli-
max Of series OF accidents with
which he met while at work on the
wires. and his announced intention OF
seeking some other vocation makes
his death peculiarly sad. Some time
before he became employed by the
city he was nearly killed by shock
received in the lower part OF the
county About six weeks ago he was
knocked from a pole on lower Ger
vais street and the injuries received
laid him up until last Monday He
went to work again this week and at
the time he met death was engaged
in strineing some Of the city wires
to patrol box 10 he placed about two
blocks above Elmwood avenue for the
section just admitted to the city. II
is supposed that he touched the SER
vice wire of the telephone company
which had crossed with the heavily
charged wire of the electric power
company and perhaps the dampness
and wire he carried formed short
circuit which resulted in the entire
voltage passing through his body.
Mayor Reamer and Chief Cathcart
were at the city hall when the news
of the accident was telephoned in
and both went at once to the scene.
The body was taken down and after
being viewed by the coroner was or
dered moved. The affair created con-
siderable excitement in the neigh
hood and very large crowd gather
ed to witness the removal OF the
body.
Mr.. Lundy resided on Gadsden
street and was about 32 years of age.
lie came here from Darlington some
time ago and Is survived by his WIFE
who was Miss Price, and one child.
Since his accident some time ago ne
has been continued on the pay rool
of the city and Mayor Reamer, VINO
was shocked by the accident, was
gratified to learn that it was through
no fault of the city that Lundy met
his death.
Coroner Walker. on being notified,
cmpaneed jury, which brought In
the usual verdict, that the deceased
came to his death while working on
a telephone pole by coming in contact
with an electric light wire.

FILIPINos' BLOODTHIRsTY IDEAS
AROUSE WRATH OF THE MANILA
CASTILIANS.

MANILA, July 29.-The Spanish
colony here is greatly excited over a
speech made by Simon Villa, who is a
candidate for Office on the Municipal
Board, in which he made plain his
hatred of everything Spanish. The
Spanish residents are planning an Of
fetal protest against his utterances.
Villa escaped trial for the murder of
a Spanish officer during the insurrec-
ton only because Of the general am
nesty proclamation.
In his speech yesterday Villa said
that he had sanctioned the execution
of the Spanish officer, and that while
he was opposed to another insurrec-
ton, if such an instruction should
come he would be in favor of the kill
Ing of all Spaniards and of all who
resembled Spaniards.

There are some men like fire crack

A woman may make her husband

him look happy after he gets there.
How few men there are in the world

Men don't enjoy keeping secrets
from their wives. Ask your husband

An elderly woman, who is crazy ov-
er going to parties, is almost as sill

man in the courts; and how easy it is
to convict an innocent man in the

A STEP TOWARD
AERIAL WARFARE

AERIAL WARFARE
While the Observation-Disclosures vessel
is capable of swifter speed than the
balloon, its far from completed stage
of evolution and the dangers atten-
dant on its operation must, it is con-
sidered, for some time to come mill
tate against its use for any purposes
of practical value. At best it would
be limited to carrying small weights
at high rate Of speed. The speed of
the dirigible balloon, on the other
hand, is sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses, and its large carrying capacity
and extended cruising radius render it
the only possible medium for warlike
operations in the air.
The proposal OF the Signal Corps Of
f1cers is to establish dirigible balloon
stations at various points along the
coast, such as Boston, Norfolk, and
Charleston on the east shore, Mobile
on the south, and San Diego, San Fran
cisco and Bremerton on the Pacific,
where they would form an invaluable
adjunct to coast defence. Now that
all the military powers of Europe are
building dirigibles, it is held that the
United States cannot afford to fall
behind.
Contracts have been entered into
with the American inventors to OBJ
tain both dirigibles and aeroplanes,
and a thorough trial of these will be
made at Fort Myer, Virginia, during
the coming fall.
The construction of these air-vesseIs
by all the great Powers is a striking
commentary upon the action of the
Hague Peace Conference, which pro-
hibited the discharge of explosives and
projectiles from balloons. This de-
claration was ratified by the United
States Senate on March IL last, and
the United States is practically the
only great Power which signed it. at
the same time the discharge of explo-
sives from balloons has always been
considered as against the rules of
civilized warfare, even in Europe.
1t is claimed that the purpose of
these vessel is to observe the move
ments of the enemy alone; but it is
self-evident that if attacked by shell
fire, the occupants of the balloon would
use all human endeavor to put the hos
tile guns out of commission.-Har

TRACK TO NAVY YARD.
Senate Bill That Proposes to Solve
the Problem.

Inc pennsylvania railroad and the
washington navy yard seem both to be
between the devil and the deep blue sea
In order to comply with the terms under
which Its million and a half payment for
the REIMBURSEMENT of the old Sixth street
station site is made the road must take
up Its present tracks to the navy yard.
But, according to Secretary Metcalf and
other officials. that side track is urgently
needed for the delivery of supplies at the
yard. So there you are.
A Senate bill. which will soon be sent
to the House, authorizes the road to
maintain and operate a single branch
track from its present main line TO the
yard. and in the report on that bill the
reasons for this suggested action are set
forth.
1.-The original BILL the report saws.
was introduced at the request of the
tarys letter it appears to be absolutely
necessary TO preserve railroad connect ion
with the navy yard and at the same time
II is obviously desirable that the present
connecting tracks shall be removed AT the
earliest practicable date. If the bill. as
presented by The Secretary. extending the
time for removal Of the connecting tracks
Tor TWO years without making any provi-
sion for the construction of any other
connection in the meantime, should pass,
the necessities of the navy yard would
most asSuredly require further exten-
sion. Under such conditions the COM
mittee deems it wise to require that the
railroad company should proceed within
six months TO construct a connecting
track from its lines at or near Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast along the water
front to the navy yard. and to allow the
existing tracks to remain in their present
place. pending the construction of the
new work.
The bill grants the right of way for the
new track to the railroad company over
land owned by the government and across
streets. and provides that no riparian
rights shall be gained by the railroad
company by virtue of this right of way
privilege. Where the right of way ex-
tends over private property. the railroad
is required to acquire 1t by purchase or
condemnation. The new connecting track
will probably not exceed more than 1000
feet in length.

PROVISIONS OF BILL INTRoDUC-
ED BY SENATOR KNOX.

General and Advocated in
Public Addresses.

Senator Knox today introduced bill to
establish system of postal savings

lined by Postmaster General Meyer in his
annual report and which he has advocat-
ed In public addresses as being calculated
to encourage economy and thrift and to
afford place Of deposit free from any
possibility of doubt or suspicion for vast
sums of money which might otherwise be
boarded and kept out of circulation
through ignorance or lack of confidence.
The bill authorizes the Postmaster Gen.
eral to establish a system Of postal saw
ings banks composed of such money order
Offices as he may designate for that pur-
pose.
Accounts may be opened and deposits
made in any postal savings bank estab-
lished under this act by any person Of the
age of ten years or over in his own name,
by a married woman in her own name
and free from any control or interference
by her husband. by a trustee as such on
behalf of another person. by a parent.
guardian or other person for the benefit
of a child under ten years of age, or by
any charitable or benevolent society or
association: Provided. that no person or
organization shall have more than one
postal savings account, except that a
trustee, parent, guardian or other person
may have an individual account and an
account in his representative capacity

be entitled to open an account. The bill
further provides that such postal banks
shall receive deposits of money in even
dollars, with 81 as a minimum. and post
masters are required to make daily re-
ports to the Postmaster General, who
will forward to the depositor written
