Wt A Sm tn In, THE CENTRE REPORTER, FRED KURTZ, . . . Editor, Orxtre Hatt, PA, Nov. 26, 1884. r — ELECTRICITY'S DEADLY WORK. [Mexico Two Republics.) A shocking tragedy occarred the other Sunday night in the Zoealo where the beautiful concert j avi'ion has been erect- ed for the festivities of All Saints’ and All Souls’ days. One life was lost and three men were go seriously injured that life in their case was despaired of. It was a case of peculiar interest. A man known as Pantaleon Estrada, a worker in guis tars, tying a stone to the end of an ordi- nary wire threw it over the electric wire, Estrada immediately fell dead in his tracks. The contact of the two wires killed him. A policeman standing by and a street~car conductor had much of their clothing burned off and were themselves 80 seriously injured that their lives trem- ble in the balance. The electric current effected others also more or less, The scene gucoeeding the tragedy was demor- alizing For a moment the dumb terror of seeing strong men totter and fall as if struck by some invisible band held the crowd spellbound. Succeeding the ter rorized apathy came a wild erush for life, Fortunately exits were plentiful, and to that was dune the fact that many werenot stamped ro death, John Herbert, of the Electric Light company, mounted a ladder with a silk hankerchief in hand to remnyve the wire thrown by the nanfortunate Estrada. The rain was falling heavily at the time, but he did not notice thai the handkerchief was becoming damp. He apolied it to the wire to remove it and received him- self a severe shock that threw him from the ladder. Falling to the stone pave- ment, his head was cut open. He will recover, however, The police believe that Estrada represented a gang of pick- pockets and thieves and that his object chance to operate, or not is not known, for he who could have told had his lips burned to silence. - - EXTRACTS FROM LETTER. “In the winter of 1877-8, I was con- fined to the house 3 or 4 months and to the bed 4 weeks with rheumatism.

[St. Louis Globe-Democrat. | “Wou!d you like to see the mate to the ball which passed through the General in the Mexican war?” Mrs. Shields ask- ed. In tue response to an affirmative she brought out a grape shot, not Ke the bat a great iron ball, with a deep ragged friage, showing rude casting. fi eas ured full three inches in circumference. luis was picked np on the battle-fieid by 8a aide of Gen. Scot's. The shot which struck the General entered below the heart, passed turough the laug aud came out under the shoulder<blade. A sure geon on the Mexican side, who found him, took a silk hendkerchief and, fol lowing tne coarse of the wound, drew it entirely through the body. So certain were the medical men tuat he conld not recover that the official report sent on 10 Washington iucluded Suieids among the dead, “In ail the years of our married life,” said Mrs Shields, “I don't thiok I ever knew him to have one wuole might of sleep, uudisturbed by that wound, He would get up out of bed and walk the floor by the hour. He was not a maa to complain, and very few people knew what he saffered—he conid staud so much After he was wounded in the Mexican war they wanted to cat Lis left arm off : it had begun to monify. He told them no. Then they ssid the only thing that cvuld possivly save him was to cot in ang scrape the bone, He wid them to do it, and went through the operation without taking ehlorofurm. In the inst war his right arm and shoulder were badly hurt by fragments of a sheil, and he had much trouble witn them. He could never lie on that mde. You might think a man who had goue througn such sufferiogs himself wouid get callous toward the feelings of others, but he didu't. It was nt ouce, hut many a tine, I have seen him take a8 mouse that Lad fallen into 8 basin of water, snd dry the little thing carefully, and iet it go, he was so tender- hearted.” a i A BINGULAR POLITICAL DENCE, [Charleston News and Courier.) Benator Brown, of Georgia, in a speech at Atlania said that the 6,000,000 colored people in the Southern states give those Bates about 37 Representatives in the House and Gov. Cievelaud’s majority over Blaine in the Electoral College is 87, the namber of votes which the South- ern States gain by the eofranichisement of the colored people. Without those votes the total electoral vote would be 864 and a majority would be 182, which Is the Blaine vote exactly, The political Romer which was intended to fortify Inineism and save it from poiitical harm is the means Of its undoing. Once again the whirligig of time hrings ite revenge. The vote of the Southern States is the eafegaard of the Repubiie, .- o-oo THE DROUGHT IN VIRGINIA, Petersburg, Nov. 17.—The drought of the last few months remaing Wnbroken. In some of the upper counties springs and streams are mill drying np. The ¢rought is a great drawback to i who, in consequence of the dry and hard eondition of the ground, are unable to low their lands. For more than a month w water in the city reservoir hae been so low that only one-half of the eit- fzens have been sappiied from that pmren, the other half being farnished from the river. A I AT pS.

Burleigh played Macbeth and Miln played Mao. duff. When we witches went out in the caldron scene we were fixed up in firsts class style, and we did the whole busi. ness as nice any three witches ever did, But when it came time for the caldron to sink into the earth the trap-door stuck fast and the old soap kettle tipped over sidewise and spilled all the torpe. does and green fire and things all over the floor. The stage got into a blaze, somebody shouted ‘ Fire!’ aud the andi- ence began to get frightened. Burleigh stood in the wings, swearing likea troop. er, but Miln just stood around looking mad, and saying ‘Oh, dear!’ I got to laughing and so did the other witches, Somebody turned on the gas and showed the whole thing to the andience.
