Emily is over by the window full of interest in the opposite side of the road and your friend John Edward is at the'other end of the room with YfMENA'MAN Aa Elaetrta Eqalaa 'Georg Benton who reside on Indiana avenue ha discovered an electrie horse Benton stepped from a street car at Wabash and Eighteenth street whije the horse were being trotted He placed his hand on the flank of one of the animals a bay mare and received a tremendous shock The car was attached to a cable train and sped onward After it had gone a block Benton returned and experienced a succession of Blight shocks which gradually

strong picture was presented hy-tboee who had occasion to travel on too Sixth Avenue Elevated railroad lute in the evening Diagonally across the street from the hotel is a hall in which some sort of an entertainment is held nearly every night and a passenger on an elevated tram con look into the windows of the hall and see the merrymaking there 1 While the digging was progress a person on a train passing the scene of toe disaster could look out of the window on one sule-of the car and see workmen in the light of smoking and flickering torches digging down in the nuns anxious to find what they so much dreaded to see These men were black ymd grimy and over their heads blackened walls with gaping windows told the stranger in town that tins was the scene of the terrible calamity of which he had read so much in the metropolitan newspapers in the last twa or three days The passenger need only turn his head to witness a sight strongly in contrast indeed with the one just described A ball was progress and everything was bright and cheerful Men in evening dross had their arms encircling the waists of thou- fair partners the women in handsome gowns with low cut necks and short sleeves and each couple dancing around the room to graceful music They seemed oblivious as they undoubtedly were of the grewsome scene only a few feet away and within plain view In one picture ail was

hand He clasjied the post firmly with his legs and gave his disengaged hand to a third man who In turn placed his hand on the mare's flauk Benton turned on the gas jet and put his mdex finger on the
