Starting Accident in Liver pool.

— ♦- —— ELECTROCUTION IN THE STRBKT3 An extraordinary fatal el< c^rio «cci dent occurred m Liverpool on F» bruary 4fcb, on what is known as the "W^ver tree route. In Liverpool the electric] trams are worked on the tro'ley xystern, and where overhead electric telephone wires cross there is supposed to Up over the top of the, trolley wires a fiOD-conductor, so that m tbe event of either telegraph or telephone wires snapping there would be no contac*. These precautions did not, prevent some telephone wiree which snapped from coaiiug m contact with the charged trolley wire. It appears that tbe accomuiation of enow on the tele phone wires broke down a bunch of them, and fallioji; on the trolley wire they bftcame fused and conveyed the current to tho earth. Pedestrians came into contact with the fallen wires, with the result that two were killed on the spot—these being David Wiiliam Singleton, butcher, aud Tho* ni»B Kankey, curter—and sixteen were injured and taken to the Infir mary. The injured are i-pporfed to be progressing favourably. Mr Bellamy, th< tramway m»n«t{er, had hitus>"if » narrow escape from contact with one of the death dealing wires The poliop dNorva great credit for tne jcourage they displayed ia extricating the vic tims from among the wires, and m which aevera' of th< w received injuries. An eye witness suites that the two men who were'killed and one of those injured lay m aeony among the coils of wire for 45 minutes, sparks spurt ing from their bodies. In other parts of the city telephone wires fell and geverai people became entangled, but no serioua injury to life or limb ia reported as the result of these acci dents, although m one or two instances horses were killed. SCENES IN TtlE STREBIS Scenes which almost defy description ensued on tbe wires falling on the over head cab'e and establishing contact; with the tram lines. Men, women, children, and faorsea were involved m a convolution of wire?, and load cries of pain speedily brought a large crowd- So soon as a sufficient body of police could reach the place of the accident all traffic was suspended. The Bcenes m London Boad, Pembroke Place, and Islington were almost indescribable In the first; mentioned thoroughfare there is a vasfe number o£ wires atref eh~ ing across the street, and when these came down with a rattle, and struck the live electric tram wires, the sight "WS&B startling, the wire emitting bril liant sparka Over a baker's shop at the corner of Aneoa Street is a hrge signboard, and this was speedily aflame, while the window blind of a neighbouring estab lishment was consumed: One poor man lay groaning ia a most piteous manner m Ansou Street, but no one dared to touch him for some ininutea owing to the coils of wire which sur rounded him. A shopkeeper, however, on having his attention drawn to the poor fellow, pat on a pair of gloves and gallantly dragged the man from bis danger, and had him sent to the Infirmary. Olose by a man and woman passing along London Road were entangled, the electric forca ren dering the woman unconscious and knocking her to the ground, while her companion was flung into the middle of the roadway. Among the anfortu nate onea was Sergeant J Davies, who was on his way down I ondon Eoad m order to join the Police Mirs'rete, who were giving a concert m St George's Hall m aid of the orphanage fund. One of the live wires caught him across the body and rendered him almost unconscious. He lay on the pavement until assisted to the Royal Infirmary. THE FATALITIES. David Singleton, batcher, 205 Wavertree Road, became entangled m tbe wires m Pembroke Place, and was released by means of a rope by Police- Constable Whit© *ud other men. He was carried to the Royal Infirmary, where Drs Arkle and Bedlington ex amined him, and stated that; he was dead. Ha was afterwards identified by his wife, Thomas Bit key, Mulberry street, clriyer of a coal cart belonging to Messrs Richard Evans & Co, 179 Crown Street was driving his horse and carfc m Gill Street, at 7 10 p m, when the horse was killed by the looße wires. Hankey got oat of the trap and went to the horse and he was knocked down. He was removed to the institution, where Dr Peet examined him and said he was dead, Aa showing the dire effects of the electric contact on one of the two killed, it may be mentioned that several copper coins m his trousers' pocket were found burnt into the deceased's flesh.
