Horse Owned by Or. Llnnell Stepped
on 2,30o-Volt Live Wire-Horse
Owned by A. 3. Maine Ran Away.

DR.. Edward H. Linnell lost a horse
valued approximately at $500 Thurs
day afternoon about 1880 in rather
unexpected manner while driving along
Tenth street between North Main
street and Central avenue. The horse
stepped on a wire, gave a lurch and
fell dead very much to the doctor's
surprise. It was found that a wire on
a 110-volt circuit which feeds the lights
in William Kramer's stable had been
blown down and in its descent had
crossed a feed wire carrying 1900
volts. The doctor himself did not re-
ceive any shock and not a mark was
found on the horse. The doctor bor-
rowed a horse from William Kramer
and continued on his way. The dead
horse was removed by c. K. Bailey
during the afternoon and linemen from
the city light department replaced the
wires. The horse was a handsome
bay about 6 or years old, and had
been owned by DR.. Linnell about a
year.

LINCOLN DAY OBSERVANCE.
Much Interest Manifested Here and
Observation-Disclosures Sent Out.

Department Patriotic Instructor N.
L Bishop of the G. A. R stated on
Wednesday night that interest in the
celebration of Lincoln day by the posts
of the state was thoroughly awakened
this year, and though it was too early
for him to receive reports, he knew
that there was general activity on the
subject, and the posts seemed to be
needing his call to them to make Con
necticut stand in the front ranks in
the matter of this celebration. Some
weeks ago he issued a circular letter
to this effect, calling attention also to
Washingtoh's birthday, Memorial day
and Flag day.
Probably the largest observance Of
the day will be in New Haven, where
Department Commander Griswold and
his staff are to be present and large
public meeting is to be held in the
Center church. Most of the posts will
hold their celebrations on Friday, as
Sedgwick post Of this does. The cell
ebration held by the local post is not
to be a public affair. but viii be only
for the post members and their invited
guests, who are the Woman's Relief
