TWO SHOCKED BY
 DANGEROUS ELECTRIC CURRENT,
Chief Stanton Hit at Box PIP and John
 HaIpin While Tending Arc Light.

Two men in this city on Thursday morning Howard l.. Stanton of the fire department and John Halpin. a light tender for the city gas and elec- trical department-re severe electrical shocks and both owed their escape from possible death to the fact that they fortunately touched the charged surface with only one hand, instead of two at once.
 An investigation made by Chief Stan- ton immediately after he had been knocked back from box 2l2. att he cor ner of Hickory street and Boswell ave- nue showed that the fire alarm box wire was crossed with the electric light wire from the city plant, carry ing 230O volts. which supplied the cleo tricity that knocked him down when he touched the boK with the tips of the fingers of one hand
 The cross with his fire alarm wire he found had been made because al certain pole the electric light wire had been lifted up to the top crossarm on the pole, and was in contact with his wire This had probably been done at some previous time to avoid hitting tree, and the electric wore had new i CT been put back on it's own arm, where it should have been.
 Chief Stanton had his fire alarm boxes, which had been injured in the storm Wednesday night to the south of box 212 all cut out dead and nae no reason to think there was any such danger in box 2l2.
 The same crossarm between the elec- tric light wire and the fire alarm wire was accountable for the shock that John Holpin got when he was trim ming an arc lamp In the rear of the store of Eaton Chase Co, on Water street. A wire of the fire alarm thai had been cut loose to cut out dam aged box hung down across one or the arc lights, and thus furnished an ave- nue for ehe 2300 volts from the citS electric light line to travel through the fire alarm wire to the arc line whicr John Halpin was working on.
 Mir. Halpin was hurt by the cleo tricity when he pushed back the lamI switch with his bare hand. He wal knocked down and was UNCONSCIOUS ' about half an hour,
 Alex Durie a wireman for the Pos tai Telegraph company, started arti- ficial respiration on him, and Herner B. Cary, Thomas B. Leahy and Charle' F Engler rendered assistance.
 During the excitement an Italian workman from the gang on the shannon lot happened to rub his eal up against the hood of the eleetri l, light. He was knocked down by thu shock and went rolling and howiinl down the street
 Superintendent Rogue conveyed MI Halpin to his home, 176 North Man street, where he recovered sufficientl. after an hour and a half's rest to b
 able to return to his work, and at !
 o'clock he was back on the job.

All gOWned in girliSh white,
With roses on her maiden breast
And in her ~tresses bright.
I met her later at the ball,
And we together danced
I hung upon her every look,
Her lightest word, entranced.
l took her in my motOr-car
Next morning for a spin,
And breathed to her my fond desire
Her heart and hand to win.
But when I clasped her fingers small
She drew her hand away,
And coyly murmured, I'm engaged
