The boy’s fath er had made arrangements with the i management of the company to let Earl go around with theii lineman, Mr. Hurd, and thereby learn some things about the business, and in this capacity he had served for some time, and was at the office more or less all the time. In the rear of the office, and un der lock and key, are three large transformers, two incandescente ami one arc light. These transformers are connected direct with tbe dyna mo at Winchester. Earl aud Mrs. Jennie Krantz. the company’s stenographer, were sit ting iu the transformer room, the former was reading and Mrs. Krantz went out into the office j leaving the boy in the room. ' She had not been in the office but a few mint t-s wheu three awful unearthly veils were heard. Mr. Protzman and Cochran were in the office and they rushed to the transformer room, where the roost awful sight imaginable met their gaze. There was the boy with one band clasped around tbe wire through which 10,- ilOO volts of electricity was coming intermittingly, one leg was drawn up iu a cross wise manner, and the soles of both shoes were burning. The head bad dropped over on the chest, and to all appearance death had come when tbe first circuit was made. v Mr. Cochran showed great pres ence of mind in his actious. He sized up tbe matter in an instant aud fully realized that the poor boy was beyond any bilrnan aid aud it was all he could do to keep ttie other two people, who wituessed the awful sight, from runuiDg up and trying to jerk the body away froui the wire. I f this bad hap pened they too would have met the same awful death, for the body was fully charged with as much -o f the iq.iMMi volts as it was possible to ab sorb. three spectators had to stand T tlier and watch with absolutely no in human power to re m tu The boy’s hand lievi us suffering. held the fatal wire, slowly wbn bur >cil in that sizzling way until iand was burnt to a crisp an d then slowly relaxed and finally drop, ped all the while tbe soles of his shoe * were smoking in the most aw- ful vav.— Pinmdealer.
