ELECTROCUTED A WORKMAY Violent Death of a Boilermaker in a Man- hole, CHARLES EKMAN ROASTED ON A LIVE WIRE Repairing a Holler In the Motor ower House and Wi ¢ perfectly Insulated Light Wire— Tnstantly Kilied, ven an fm- A caso of electrocution o morning at the street railw: Twenty-second and Nicholas streets, and the body of the victim, Charles Ekman, lics at Maul's morgue awaiting the action of the coroner's jury, ‘I'ie deceased was in the employ of Wilson & Drake, boilermakers, at Eighteenth and Pierce, and was sent tothe power house this morning to make some ropaits on one of the boilers that generates the steam to run the dynamos. As the only opening into the boiler is the small manhole at the end, itis necessary to use artificial light in making repairs on the fuside and this was furnished in this case by an incandescent lamp at the end of several yards of slack wire, which was, bowever, supposed to be thoroughly in- sulated. The lamp was placed inside the boiler, with the wire resting on the lower side of the manhole, Ekman then started to crawl inside, but he never passed through the fatal opening. His istant, Michacel T'roy, who was at the other end of the boiler, heard him scream, and running around to the opening, found Ekman lying in the man- hole, with his head and shoulders iuside the boiler and his les hanging down outside. He at once saw that something was wrong, and seized Ekman by the ankles to draw him out to the open air, but received a se- vero shock us soon as he touched the body of his companion, which hurled him severa feet awny. He had, however, moved tho body of Ikman sufiiciently to cause the Jower part to overbalance the ubper, and the body fell out of the manhole and to the floor below. Assistance ed immediately, but Ekman did not move or breathe, and an’ ex- amination showed that he was dead. How It Happened, A single glance at _the fatai wire showed pliinly how the accident had happened. “The insulation overa part about an inch long had been torn off, leaving the wire cx- posed, and in crawling across it the deadly current had been communicated to the body of the unfortunate man. His shirt, wet with the perspiration of hard toil, had furnished a free conductorto the subtle fluid and the 500-volt stream of clectricity, backed by a pressure of from 400 to G600 amperes, wis forced through his body, thence to the metal walls of the boiler above and on cither sideof him. The powerful curront had burned and blistered tho flesh fna numberof places, and the unmistak able odor attending {t was plainly noticeable when the horror-stricken stokers gutherea around the lifeless form. Coroner Maul was at once notified and re- moved the body to his morgue. An examination of the remains disclosed a deep burn on the abdomen as large as the palm of & man's hand, with marks running from it toward cithor side. indicating where the wire had been. A long, narrow burn extended blisters, as largo s silve found on the ruzht hip. The burned from the shoulder mearly to the elbow and on the right shoulder blade was a burn and blister, four inches wide and seven inches long. On the chest aud abio- men the skin was burned to a crisp, and tho flesh underneath was charred. On thohead, Just above the right temple, was a bruise, and near it a gash an inch and a half long, bat these were caused by striking against i protruding picce of iron as the body fell from the manhole. Neither of them would have been serious wounds, and it is prac- tically certain that tho man’was dead beforc he was seen by his companion. Ekman was 85 years of age and unmar- ried, and bonrded at Twenty-ifth street and Popploton avenue. He had been in the employ of Wilson & Drake for ten years, and was r garded as a faithful, hardworking and care- ful man. the cmployes at the power house had been accustomed to use this wire and light whenever anything of the kind was in de. mand, and had not noticed that the insula- tion was imperfect. One of them thought the defect was the result of striking the wirea blow with a hammer, thus eutting the covering, but whether this was done by the deceased while at work, or whether or not it was done in_that way'at all, is some- thing that can only be surmised, Coroner's Inquest, The inquest over the remains of was held at the morgue yesterday nfte But three witnesses were examined the companion of the dead man, tendent Tucker, of the stroct pany, and J. M. Wilson, the senior niember of the fim for which the deccased worked at the timeof his death. Nothing was learned as to his death, more than is stated above, as there was o eyewitness of the occurrences imwediately preceding the fatal contact with the wire, 1 re turned a verdict of death by aceid tric shock, and no blame was a any one. A careful examination of the premises yesterday afternoon demonstrated beyond a doubt thint the burn on the abdomen of the deensed was partly caused by u hot wate and steam pipe, and partly by the electric current. manbiole is & little more than waist high from the floor, and the pipe runs along just below it. There 1s every reason to believe that the dead man had put his head and shoulders through the hole and had just thrown his weight on his chest when he received the shock, which was of suf- ficient force to deprive him'of control of his muscles, and throw him upon the wive help. . H as also thrown upon the pipe at the same time, and cleetricians { the opinion that the metal pipe cause the current entering at the chest to scok an at the abdomen, and as his clothing vened an are was formed, which burned the clothes and also caused the largo burn in the flesh at that point, Tho shape of tho burn_indicates that it was in contact with the pipe, while the current must have passed through there to have charred the flesh. It is not believed that tho burns on the arm and shouider were caused by the current, us the metal framework of the hole is insulated in the fire wall, and would not have offered a ready passago. These burns wero undoubtedly eaused by contaot with the pipe after the body fell to the floor. Wire Wis AlL Right, Tt scoms quite cortain that the light wire was all right when Ekman started into the botler and that when he pressed it upon the sharp corner of tho opening the insulation was either cut or 8o tightly compressed that the cu s through to Ekman's body, tho arc thus formed burning off more of the ulation and within & very short time ing the wire itsolf. lectriclans are at a loss to know what caused Ikman's death, as they sy that the reent was not suficient to cause it. The it was on a sido circuit with four other lights, and was connected by a half ampere fuse, which would have burned out had a stronger current passed through it. It is maintained that death could hardly have been caused by .it, had not the victim had orgunic heart trouble, in which case the shock might have had & fatal result, Bo that as it may, the unfortunate a man came in contact with a- current, howeyer strong it may have been, and did not survive i, and the burns just over the heart and on thoabdomen show that the current was not & weak one. curred yesterday v power house at 2kman noon Troy, Superin lwuy com- ———— 80 nervous'--before taking Hood's Marsapariila m so well’—after taking Hood’s.

Seerie, a member of the firm of Ged dis & Seerie, thg Denver contractors, who have been prominent bidders for the con- struction of the new Federal building here, was in the city yesterdny. He was secn by a Ber man just prior to his departure for home Mossrs, Geddis & Seorie have been bidders for the work on_the new building from the start, and Mr. Seerie’s visit here had to do with their connection with the matter, in which Mr. Fred McConnell is their Omaha representative. Said Mr. Seerie: We hope to get the contract for the new building, We have certamly tried hard enough for it. The first time we were next to the Jowest bidder, but the ‘powers that were' decided that the lowest bidder was too low nd the bid was not a ded. Next lowest, but was in excess fon. *“There is a strong effort on the part of the Indiana men, this time, to work in under a cheap limestone_bid, but we stand a snow just the same. Wo have three bids in, one on Colorado granite, one on sandstone and one on limestone, Of course, we hope to securo the act on Colorado granite. “Yes, 1 son the reports concerning the bank failures in Den nd they don't make me feel n vitgood.

Promptness of Marshal White Rescues Judgg Dundy from n rle Dinner. The quict of the federal court was dis- turbed yesterday morning by a rather amus- ing incident. Judge Dundy was listening to motions in equity cases and was occupying the small court room on the second tloor. Close by nis desk thereis a door whi opens into the hall. While the judge was engaged in writing an_order in the docket this door opened gently and aninstant later in stepped o woman, accompanied by a small girl. Thinking no doubt that she had simply entered a private oftice the woman roached the judge and said: “Couldn't you some tickets for a chicken pie pper down on South Twentli-fourth street? tickets are only twenty-fi—" this time “hizzoner" was looking up at ruest face of the ticket seller and the spectators and lawyers were anxiously wait- ing to sce how the jodge would get rid of the church entertainment canvasser, out the marsha onto his job and before the judge had an opportunity to really deter- mine whether he was afool or a horseback woman was informed that court was_in on and must not be aisturbed.

Mr. Connell had asked for n copy of the opinion and the reply of the clerk indicates that it will be some time before the opinon in full is filed, perhaps not before September. However, Mr. Conuell is of the opinion thai_the memorandum furnishes suflicient enlightenment for the council to proceed and that it is wholly unnccessary to have' the opinion in full, as all of the oints at issue have been covered. In his judgment the nnow be proceeded with in the where majority petitions have been filed, conditional of otherwise. The attorney also expresses the belief that in the future it will bo necessary to avoid complications to haveac v majority asking for the creation of o paving district before the same_can_ be done. With the districts in hand Mr. Con- nell considers that the line to follow 1s laid out in the decision and that the contracts ean be executed and the work of paving pro- ceed as soon as the bonds are disposed of. e T g it Charged with Geand Larceny. Jim Lee had his preliminary hearing yester- day morning on the charge of grand larceny, preferred by Bertie Mann, The defendant is accused of stealing several rings and an um- brella, the whole valued at §120. One of the rings was found in his possession and he was arrcsted for tho theft. He is in the employ of an upholsterer and he accounts for the possession of the ring by saying that alot of furniture belonging to Miss Mann was sent to tho shop where he was employed, to be reupholstered, and in removing the old covering he found the ring between the seat and back of one of the chairs. He visited the place kopt by the plaintiff with the ring on his fiuger, and it was recoguized aud ho was arrosted. The rest of the property has not been found ———— Killed Near ) d.

Board of Fdneatiem: Members Willing to ftenson witht ealth OMelals, The uitimate reknits of the controversy between the Board Wt/Hoalth and the Board of Education over thé maintenance of the dry closet systemsin several of the school buildings are difficultat present to predict. Tt scems reasonablywertain that if no con- ciliatory steps aretnken in the near future the whole mattor willhave to be decided in the courts, but there sre indications that the spirit of arbitratiom and sound reasoning will gain the uppersand and that an adjust- ment may be reachadiwithout resorting to aw. Speaking of the matter yesterday several of the members of the Board of Education ex- pressed themselves as being fully confident that the Smead dry closet system was per- fectly sanitary, but at the same time they weraopen‘to conviction as to the opposite view of the case *I have no disposition to oppose the Board of Health,” said Mr. C. J. Smythe, in spoak- ing of the controversy, “and in fact 1 hold that it is the duty of every good citizen to uphold the Board of Health 1 every effort that is undertaken for the good of the public health. But Tam inelined to believe that in this matter of ventilating school buildings the Board of Health has stepped out- side of its legitimate domain to some extent. The moment that the Board of Health can show conclusively that the dry closet system of whatever mike or pat- tern is unsanitary that moment I shall be in vorof removing the apparatus from the school buildings. But Tam not in favor of admitting that the dry closet scheme 18 un- sunitary simply upon the assertion of the Board of Health without proof. T am not in favor of maintaining anything in the shape of 4 nuisance, not for a moment, but¥l must be convinced that this system, of which so much has been said, is a nuisance before I shall vote to make a change.” Referring to the attitude of the manufac- turers who put these dry closet apparatuses in the schools Mr. Smith continued: “If iv should trauspire that those dry closets can be proven to be u nuisance then, it seems to me, another important question will arise. Will not these heating and ventilating firms who sold their apparatus to the Board of Education be responsible for the imposition? Will it not _be possible to_bring them to ac- count for palmimg off nuisances under the guise of sanitary apparatus?” Mr. Elgutter was scon with regard to the matter and “I have never been much of a dry ¢ n, as my record in the Board will show, but it strikes me that the Board of Health' is getting in its work on these mattersat a ratner late aate. The plans and specifications for these buildings in which the dry closets have been intro duced must have been submitted to the building i before they were finally adopted by the Board of Education y e not only submitted, but were approved the city building mspector before they re incorporated in the buildings of which the present health commissioner makes so much complaint, Now it strikes me that when the city of Omaha, through its au- thorized agent, the building inspector, that certain plans and specificati right and thav they the ordinances cre: ters, and later through another agent, in of the health comm coudemns the plans formerly approved, if there is anybody responsiblo the blunder it must be the city government. am not in favor of creating ui nsation over these matters, 1 be- it we shouldi proceed in a business- like and dispassionate manner and if possi- ble reach an understanding that will not only be agreeable to the members of both boards, but also for'the best interests of the entire city. Tam inclined to think that this will be done. 1don't think that any man an afford to make: this an occasion for parading his particular views before the public simply for the sake of a little notori oty, and I feel pretty sure that good judg- ment and common sense will win in tho end and we shail reach a1 settiement of the dis- pute without resorting to the courts.
