CORNING, Oct. 3.—John F. Quinn, foreman of the ralilroad section crew at this place, narrowly escaped losing his life to-day from an electric shock, which for a time completely paralyzed him. The railroad com- pany is at present building a track into the bed of Thomes Creek to facilitate the loading of gravel onto its cars. The electric wires of the iine of the Tehama Electric Company, which furnishes light and power to the town of Corning, pass over the new track. Division Roadmaster Somner and Mr. Quinn were desirous of finding the distance from the wires to the track and he procured a tape line for that purpose. The tape iine was reinforced on the inside with very fine wires over which was a coating of waterproof material. Mr. Quinn held one end of the line while the other end was thrown over the wire. As soon as it touched the wire the current came down the line, lifting Mr. Quinn from his feet and leaving him in a paralyzed condition. It was fully ten minutes before he could speak. He was brought to Corning on a handcar and placed under the care of a physician. ¢ Mr. Quinn will be able to be around in a day or so. The current burned his body under his steel suspender buckles and left him in a very nerveus con on. The fact that he escaped from death after having the ten thousand volts pass through his body is something miraculous.
