CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA BLUFFS. LIVE WIRE PROVES FATAL Oharles Bloomquist, Electrio Light Line- man, is Instantly Killed WORKING AT SUBSTATION AT THE TIME Dodges Flash Cansed by Short Circult and Falls Against Wires Carry- ing Over Two Thousand Volts, Charles Bloomquist, a lineman In the em- ploy of the Cltizens’ Gas and Electric com- pany, was electrocuted yesterday after- noon while working at the company’s sub- station In the alley south of Isroadway, be tween Sixth and Pearl streets. His death was evidently instantaneous, although his fellow workmen thought they noticed a spark of life in him, and with the assist- ance of Drs. Seybert and Hombach worked over him for nearly half an hour in a vain effort to resuscitate him. Bloomquist, \with three other linemen, was working Yon the wires entering the substation at which the current is re- ecelved from Omaha and thence distributed through the city. In front of the building is a framework supportea by four poles, across which the many wires are carried to and from the bullding. Bloomquist was standing on a ladder to which he had hitched his safety belt. In cutting a wire to make a new connection a short circuit in some manner was formed and this caused a flash. Bloomquist evidently leaned back to avold the flash and in so doing came in contact with the heavy voltage wires. He slipped from the ladder and hung suspended by his belt. The three men working with him at once went to his assistance and lowered him to the ground They thought they noticed a slight respira- tion and proceeded to work over him and in this were assisted by Drs. Hombach and Seybert, who were quickly on the scene. After working for nearly half an hour the doctors pronounced the man dead and the body was taken to Cutler's undertaking rooms. Bloomquist's first finger on the left hand was burned to the bone, Indicating that in leafiing back to avold the flash caused by the short circuit he had eaught hold of an- other wire and a burn on the rightarm be- twepn the elbow and shoulder showed where his body had come In contact with another wire, thus forming a circult for the current of 2,300 volts. Bloomquist was a native of Bweden and had been in the employ of ‘the company since August 2% last. He was, however, an old-time lineman. He was 34 years of age and single. Bloomquist roomed and boarded at No, 16 North Eighth street. He is/said to hav a brother somewhere in the northwest and friends in Omaha. Coroner Treypor will hold an inquest this morning at 10Mo'clock at Cutler's undertaking rooms. W. C. A. Hospital Meeting. The quarterly meeting of the *Woman's Christlan assoclation at the restdence of Mrs. Don Macrae, jr., on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon, brought out a large attendance.i Reports of the ‘gfficer showed a healthy ncrease in the receipts of the ySaturday night on complaint of his wife. Lookabill after filling up on bad whisky, went home and started to abuse his tamily, He was placed in the ety jail and a charge of vagrancy under the state law, was to have been flled against him yesterday. Lookabill had frequent for- mer sojourns at the city jall, being em- ployed as trusty, and he was again filling this position yesterday morning, when he learned that he was to be turned over to the county authorities. Without golng through the formality of saying good bye to Sergeant Gardiner or Chief Tibbets, Lookabill left the precincts of the city jall for parts unknown. LET CONTRACT FOR SIDEWALKS Time Limit Omitted on Account of Scarcity of Home Made Briek, Owing to the uncertainty of the brick supply in Council Bluffs the city council last night, in approving the contract with John M. Harden for the laying of about ten miles of brick sidewalk, decided te omit the|clause providing for a penalty In case the work was not completed in a specified time. Nearly all of the brick made in this city Is belng used for street paving and little can be had for any other purpose at present. The recent paving contracts provide for concrete base and this will tend to leave a more plentiful supply of homemade brick on the market. Residents of the Fifth ward petitioned for the opening of Twenty-ninth street be- tween Fourth and Ninth avenues and ‘for walks on the same stroet between Broad- way and Fourth avenue. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. Residents of Cutoff complained about their portion of the city being used as a dumping ground for Omaha's garbage and also complained about a rendering establishment there. The complaint was referred to the Board of Health to Inves- tigate. A number of requests were received from the newly organized West End Improve- ment club. One, that the city council take some steps to improve the condition of West Broadway, which Alderman Lovett urged should recelve prompt attention and the aldermen will make an investigation of the thoroughtare to ascertain what can be done. Another request was, that the clty construct drains and culverts were- ever needed in the western part of the clty to prevent a recurrence of the con- ditions recently existing after the flood. Alderman Lovett was delegated to ascer- taln where these drains were needed and report back to the council. Hooper & McKee were'granted permis- slon to conduct a saloon at 608 West Broad- way and C. A. Fearight one at 1509 South Main street. The greater part of the session was taken up with routine business not of particular public interest. The council will meet in adjourned sesslon Thursday to inspect the recently completed paving on Graham avenue and pass on the assessment as prepared by the city engineer.

McNa- ‘mara’s sister was recently appointed a teacher in the Garner schools by the dis- trict board. Schotz oppossed the appoint- ment and this led to & quarrel between Mc- Namara and Schots, J. W. Bartley, a contractor from Malvern, Ia, who is bullding a residence in the vieinity of Lake Manawa, appeared before Justice Ouren - yesterday afternoon and displayed a three-inch cut on:, his head which, he suid, had been inflicted by Abe Weller, one of his workmen.

Amends Diteh Injunetion, Logan Crawford yesterday filed an amendment to the petition in his sult to restrain the authofities of the two counties from proceeding with' the construction of the Harrison-Pottawattamle county drain- age ditches. In the amendment he alleges that the letting of the contract for the cons(ruction of the ditches was fraudulent and that there was connivance between the contractors and the county auditors in that the taxpayers will be called upen to pay 3,000 more for the work than was ac- tually bid. He asks that the firm of R. A Brown & Co. of Washington, Ind., which secured the contract for the Allen and Willow creek ditches™be made party defend- ant to the sult. The amendment also alleges that no bond has been flled securing to the abutting property owners payment of the damages awarded them. This, he claims, is contrary o the Provisions of the statutes sllowing the taking of property by eminent domain.

NOW A MATTER .OF MEMORY Mayor Low Says that He Certainly Misunderstood Intentions of Comptroller Grout. NEW YORK, Oct, 5.—It is denfed agaln today that Comptroller Grout and President Fornes of the Board of Education will voluntarily withdraw from the fusion ticket. The complication that has arisen over the acceptance by them of the democratic endorsement remains the major features of the political situation in greater New York, and the fight for and against them is being actively waged. From democratic sources came the sug- gestion that the position of Grout and Fornes could be strengthened by withdraw- ing entirely from the fusionist movement and from the democratic party, and Lepder Murphy of Tammany, who managed the coup under which they were endorsed, wi urged to see Grout and arrange the matter, The plan Involved the acceptance of & full fledged nomination from the demoorats and a positive line up against the fusionist movement during the campaign. It wa sald that Leader Murphy favored the move- ment, but today Luke D. Stapleton, legal adviser for Grout, again averted to the intention of his client to resist the erasure of his name from the fusionist ticket. It 18 down to a question of memory and veracity between Mayor Low and Comp- trolier Grout as to the former's knowledge of the latter's plan to accept the demo- eratic endorsement. The mayor in rejoiner to the last letter of the comptroller says he has no recollection of the second of the democratic endorsement of Grout. Here 18 what the mayor said: I have read the comptroller's statement and 1 have no recollcetion, whatever, of any such conversation such as he speaks of. When everything has been said that can be said, the facts remain that antll my conference with Mr, Grout and Mr. Fornes, on last Sunday momlnr T had no appreela- zon of any change* in their attitude of ntagonism to Tammany. When I then realized, for the first time, that neither of them was any longer ready to enter upon an aggressive anti-Tammany c-mPulln, it seemed to me & situation that vitally concerned those who placed s all in_nomination. 1 therefore put the matter before their representatives and left it in their hand: Mr. Marcutting's action followed. 1 must decline to enter Into any further contro- versy, but I can't help resenting an at- tempt to represent me as approving a elubulrle that 1 never oontampll&% as 'po.- sible.
