TROLLEY WIRE
FELL; MAN is
STRUCK
Remarkable Escape of Stranger
This Morning From a Horrible
Fate. = Much Excitement.
ONLY A BRIEF TIE-UP RESULTED

The first accident that came any
where near being serious to occur on
the Grand Junction street railway
happened this morning about II
O'Clock and created a great amount of
excitement on Main street for the
time being.
One man, stranger in the city,
had a very narrow escape from a hor-
rible death by electrocution and the
street car system was put out of
working order for about thirty min
utes.
The trolley wire. extending around
the curve made by the track at Fourth
and Main street, suddenly broke this
morning as the result of the trolley
pole of passing car jumping off the
trolley wire. The latter snapped sud
denly and one end fell to the ground.
Just as the car passed and just at
the moment that the wire fell man
was crossing the street on the cement
crossing. He had just stepped be-
tween the rails of the track when the
wire, charged with the deadly cleo
tricity, came down and struck his
hat, grazed his clothing, fell across
one foot and then writhed on the
ground.
According 10 men well NerSeu III
the work of electricity the man had
an extremely narrow escape from
sudden death or horrible and fatal
injuries. Had the mans foot hap
pened to have been on one of the
rails when the wire came in contact
with his straw hat and head. only a
miracle could have prevented him
from being instantly killed or ter
ribly injured. AS it was the man
escaped with the effects of severe
blow from the heavy copper wire
when il struck his head and from a
slight but acute shock in one foot and
ankle. Naturally the man was badly
frightened and people who saw the
wire fall thought sure he would be
killed. The man picked up his hat

Washington. July 30.-When Rep
resentatiye Payne. the head of the
house conferees on the tariff bin
which bears his name, arose in the
house today to present the report of
the conference committee OF the two
houses on the bill. the measure had
been in conference for just three
weeks
Proceeding on the theory that the
bill marks a general downward ten
dency from the present rates of duty.
Mr.. Payne presented. but did not
read, an exhaustive analysis of its
provisions. This statement, he said,
had been prepared by himself, and
he asked to have it printed as an Of
ficial document. There was objec-
tion, however, from the democratic
side of the house. and the printing
OF the statement was prevented for
the time being. In this statement
Mr.. Payne undertook to show that
there had been marked decrease in
the rates on the necessaries of life
while admitting that there had been
an increase in the duties on luxuries.
Probably the most marked reduc-
tions as the result of the action of
the two houses and of the conference
committee are found in the metal
schedule. Beginning with decrease
in the rates on iron ore of from 40
to % cents per ton, there is gen
eral reduction throughout that por-
tion of the bill, pig iron going down
from 81 to $3.50 per ton and scrap
iron from 81 to 81. The reduction
on many of the items in this schedule
amounts to about so per cent, and
this reduction includes steel rails.
