 ELECTRIC SHOCK
Westville Man Touches Live Telephone Wire and Hurled
 to Ground

New Haven, July H.-Touching a live telephone wire while at work on the top of a pole at New Canaan yes- terday, Homer Gulliver, thirty-o one years of age of IS Harrison street, Westville. received a severe electric shock that hurled him violently to the ground and rendering him unable to help himself at all, compelled him to lie in agony in the road for five hours before his pitiable plight was discov- cred. A passerby then found the man in a terrible condition near the pole, and he was picked up and brought to the railroad station at New Canaan, after which he was brought to this city on the first train and sent to Grace hospital. Sullivan was thrown thirty feet from the pole by the force of the electric shock.
 At the hospital it was stated his condition is serious. He has a bad injury to his spine and is completely paralyzed from the waist down and it is feared the effects may not disap- pear Besides these injuries he is badly bruised about the body and his hands are burned by the current. He was conscious last night, but is not allowed to talk much. He is single and resides with his parents in liar rison street.

ARTILLERY RECORDS BROKEN WITH 3-INCH
 GUNS AT SANDY HOOK

All previous records for service prac- tice with coast artillery 3-inch guns were broken at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook yesterday when the 135th Company of Coast Artillery, U. s. A., made eleven hits in as many seconds, firing at a moving target 2,150 yards away. The company that made the new worlds record is a part of the Fort Totten command. and was under the command of Capt. Carroll Power, a Kentuckian who entered the regular army from civilian life after the Span ish War.
 The 18th Company also made the best record with 3-inch guns last year, but yesterdays achievement was twice as creditable as the 1909 performance. By it's record yesterday. the company made a figure of merit of 15O per cent, by far the highest percentage ever made in the army with guns of that calibre. Capt. Power was in personal command at the practice.
 The practice was held in Battery Morris, Fort Hancock The target was 10 by 24 feet in size and was in tow of a steamship that was proceed ing at a speed of some five knots an hour Capt. Power. the commanding officer of. the 18th Company, entered the army as a Second Lieutenant of volunteer infantry in 1899. Two years later he was mustered into the coast artillery arm of the regular army as a Second Lieutenant. He was promot- ed to Captain in January, 1907.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

] The Poli clientele take most kindly to this weeks offering by the Poll Players, the eminently successful Clyde Fitch play, "The Cowboy and the Lady. being the vehicle of entertain ment, and a splendid presentation and interpretation of the former Maxine El1iott-Nat Goodwin success is given refecting credit on every member o1 the company and a trif1e additional credit to the painstaking stage direc- tor, Oscar Eagle.
 With its scenes laid in Colorado, with all of it's types skilfully drawn and with a well connected plot and an easily understandable one, it is no problem to get the answer to the plays popularity.
 Marital infelicity might be said to be the keynote of the trouble for James Weston, a wealthy man of the idle rich class. comes to Colorado with his beautiful wife in search of health. Weston has no conscientious scruples and makes love to most any woman he meets. Making love to one girl, the bar maid in a dance hall who is loved by a half-breed. eventually makes for his undoing. for the half breed kills him as he is about to run away with the bar maid. and Teddy North, a young ranchman and Har- yard graduate. takes upon himself the penalty of the crime to save the mans wife with whom he is in love. In the final act North is freed directly after a jury finds him guilty of the crime. the half breed being forced to confess.
 MT. Ince in the role of Teddy North adds one more to his long list of suc- cesses and scores equally with his Ste phen Ghent in "The Great Divide, while Mary Stockwell in this. her sec ond week, has a splendid role for the display of her charm and artistic tal- ent and she takes advantage of the op- portunity afforded her. AS a trio of cowboys Tommy Williams, Adolph Lestine and Theodore Marston furnish the bulk of the comedy of the play, and Camilla Crume. an exceptionally good character actress, scores as Mrs. Prissisms. Arthur Buchanan, J. Ham, mond Daley, Eleanor Parker, Thomas Walsh and all the favorites make in dividual hits. and little Lo LEstes. a newcomer to the Pol Players, bright ems the dance hall scene in the second act with dainty personality and decided evidence of ability along fn- genue lines.
 The settings are especially fine and Mr. Eagle has recruited a typical jury for the trial scene in the third act.
 Between the acts Jack Allmann puts over a little hit of his own accord in the singing of illustrated songs. as- sisted by the Singing Ushers.
 The management refers to those who have witnessed the production this week for corroborat1ve evidence of the fact that the theatre is at least twenty degrees cooler than the outside atmos- phere. making the playhouse about as cool a spot as one could find of an afternoon or evening.
