Sunday mornln-, July 29, 1906, Charles Babcock, chief engineer at the Jefferson Traction Company's power house In Florence, was instantly killed by coming Into contact with a field coil on the machinery. The large engine at that power house had been shut down about 7.30 In the morning, two smaller engines doing all the work, but by an oversight the knives controlling the electric current on colls of large dyna mo were not pulled out. Babcock and another workman bad been cleaning up and while the other was oiling the machinery Babcock leaned over the rear of the large engine to get some blocks laying underneath. The first intimation the other workman had of the accident was the smell of burning hair. They looked for Babcock, but he was lying In such a position that only Mb feet were visible and these moved, as If the man were alive. Finally they called to him, but received no answer and on going to him discovered that the feet were moving because the body was heavily charged with electricity. In leaning over the engine the back of his head touched a coil charged with 550 volts of electricity and death was instantaneous. Remarkable Strike. The strike just ended in the bitumin ous coal mines or Western rennsyi- vania, considering its magnitude, was, beyond question, the most orderly one in the history of the mining Industry. In the midst of evictions and all the exasperations Incident to an industrial war the miners of this community, among whom some of the most tur bulent and hot blooded foreigners are represented, were remarkably cool and Belf-possessed. There were, of course, occasional acts of rashness and disorder, but few, If any, more than when the mines are running in the regular way. For this exhibition of self-control under trying circumstances the miners and their leaders deserve great credit, and no doubt obtained a much better set tlement than could have been secured had they lost their heads. It Is en couraging to note that as this country grows older it is becoming more law abiding, better legislation for the mass es Is being enacted and the laws are better enforced. The Improvement in this line has been especially marked within the past four or five years, and much of the credit is due to our ener getic and juBtlce-lovlng President, who Is sincerely desirous that everybody should have a square deal.
