pass through his body for more than
thirty seconds htd to bc able to laugh
about It twor hours afterwards and
wonder how long it will be before
he will be up on the cross-arms
among the high tension wires, was the
experience of william Martin, aged 20,
of jefferson street, one of the line
men OF the Marion Railway Light
and Power company, this morning.
Martins escape from death was
most miraculous. He was engaged in
making some change in the electric
wires at the alley intersection at the
rear OF the Grand Opera house at
eight o'clock this morning. He was
handling wires carrying a voltage of
2300 and was engaged in cutting in
some wires on the circuits used by the
Mirror and Star offices.
With his knife in his right hand
he was cutting away the insulation
of wire carrying $500 volts. While
doing so his right leg came in con-
tact with second wire Of the same
voltage.

groan escaped Martins lips as
the strong current passed through his
body and he fell unconscious on the
wires, only his safety belt, which was
strapped around the cross arm over
the alley, saved him from dropping
to the pavement 35 feet below.
II. +. CLOSER, foreman of the line

work, saw Martins plight and rush.
Ing to the pole, climbing up as ia st
as legs and hands would take him.
crossed over several wires carving
23OO volts of the juice, and terked
Martins hand from the wire, break
ing the current.
Martin, who is big powerful fellow
weighing close to 200 pounds, lay
there on the wires and cross-arm, un-
conscious, but his breathing told that
he was still alive. Miner Metzgar,
one of the linemen who was working
on another cross-arm, Il. Il. Closer,
and superintendent Frank Closer,
VINO was summoned from the offices
or the company, together with several
others, took a rope and by using
the rope around Martins waist, ex-
trlcate him from the wires and lower
him to the ground where he was ten
derly carried to the Central Emer-
gency hospital and attended by DR..
James McMurray.
Martin was unconscious for some
time but was revived and though
quite sick from the terrible shaking
up was able to talk TO friends. II
was just two hours after the 23OO
volts had passed through his body
that friend looked in the door and
Martin greeted him with a smile, saw
ing: l guess / won't get any three
base hits today. VIII II" Martin
plays amateur baseball and does a
good job of 1t, too.
His right hand is badly burned
where the current went through tho
glove In which his hand was encased
ana more severe burn is on his
right leg, below the knee. This burn
is as large around as n half dollar
and very deep. II is the opinion of
those conversant with such cases thot
leg came against what is
termed tie wire and that the loose
end penetrated the leg.
That Martins death was not in
stantaneous or that II did not follow
shortly after he was released from tho
wires, is attributed to the fact that
no vital parts of the body were touch
ed by the current. In the Ohio
penitentiary but 1850 volts are given
to electrocute while Martin took sew
eral hundred more volts and was ablo
to laugh about it within two hours
afterward
This is Martins second accident of
the kind. Several years ago he lost
hnger on his left hand when be
touched two high power wires M
the corner of Prospect and Center
streets
But the accident. serious as Il was.
has not unnerved him. He will mere
~ wait three or four weeks until
able to go to work again when he will
handle wires with as much or more
voltage.

Since the old-fashioned theory of

these salves only clog the pores and

IT MAKES THEM LAUGH.

With the admission Of the two new
States to the Union. it is thought that
it will be Il long time before the ques-
ton Of statehood Will again come up.
There are other territories, like Alaska
and Hawaii. not to mention the District
Of Columbia. and there are other distant
possessions such as Porto Rico, Guam
and the Philippines which have the pro
YislOnai governments and where Amen
can citizenship is in a state of forma-
ton The Isthmian zone, ten miles IN
breadth. but with a Zone OF lnhu-
ence' much wider is 4 national posses
sion aud it is not improbable that owing
to the civIizjng influence incident 10
canal work, it may at no remote day
claim admission to statehood. 1t Is
possible that the flag Of the Union may
in time hold more than forty-eight stars
but that time will certainly be remote.

which the battleshjps of the East have
been equipped. The after bridges on
the vessels will be removed as we'll as
