DiTer*a ttapleaaant Bxpertonee With a Very Much Alive Wire. The truthf-idittesa of the old saying •Chat one never cam fell whsre Hifhtning is going to strike proved by an aceideint whloh 'happened to a -man while ptandi«g oh th® Hwttcan of .the Wtftiaanette, says the Morning Ore^onian. The Oity & Suburban ^Railway Co. -has a power thouse near Inman A IPouAaon's mill, from' which th-e elactfielty is conveyed- by a submarine caMe across the riv^r to operate some of-ats lines on the West Side. A short tfcme since the Union Power (House, from whidfi some of the com»pany'e lines were operated, was burned, and, as misfortune .never comes singly, a day or two since the cable which crosses the river to the foot of Jefferson street failed to its du«ty.

J. IF. KeHey, superintendent of the power plant of the IBast 6'Jde, took steps to ascertain what the trottbte was and to -have it put to rights. He sent Bi-liy Martin, the company's diver, down to overhaul the cable, which was found to have sustained a fracture, and the copper wire in the center, whioh t» -the conductor, had in some way got An coptact with t'he wire covering which .protects the outside of the cable. The power 'had been shut oft Xrom the cable at the power house before the diver went down, and all concerned supposed Jft? would 'have "dead wire" to handle.

They Xorgpt about the "ba-ck. wate^rtr current from' the Third' street* trolley wire, which kept -the part of ,the caile west of the breaJt charged "and very much "alfve." In -bending ,4iis. head down close to the -cable to examine -the .break, for 'the light iwas 'dim down there, the .metallic fixtures on the diver's hei* met .touched the charged end- of jit, and he received a shock whi,oh ,yearlyknocked him insensible.

He was remonstrated with and assured that he must be mistaken that it was impossible he ctftfld have been shodked by electricity, because the power was shut ofE at the power house. He was 'finally persuaded •that the shock was due to .the imagination, or something of the sort, and, hW helmet -being put on, down he went again. Before he cou'ld 'fairly see what he was about he was shocked again in the 'same manner, and came to the surface, if -possible, quicker and^.-madder than before.

A Fellew Priaoner Waa to K1U the Tarnhey iteel Sawi Fooad la Walltag*! Cell—Cloaely Watched.

Cincinnati, Sept 7.—The Enquh** aays: Bbcxtt JadUson and: Alonso WanIiW, the rtayera oif Pearl Bryan, y*»teitiay attemaiptedl to igain their HbeiltQr by tome. They hoped tor tWs entt through one oif the feeblest ipfiots ever cor»oe4ve® by datlTag (prisoners to e**pe from jadl and ttffsAa thrtr frewtem. Bold as 4ft .was, yet %t wCrust rated by ttoe vlgiilanice of Jlatlsr Joseph Wieg"haus, and hto deipu'ties, JVedi (Mlaurer and George (EJrase, of the Covington

Jail foroe. The sdam. as aTran^etd, (but Which (fortunately attisoarrt'e'dt was to murder George Krase, tfae night turnkey, wkreat from Mm fthe keys -and then snake a break for Q&berty. Atnonv the prisoners whose botpes were raised were Jackson and WUiEwsr, the slayws of pretty Pearl Bryant df F*t. Thomas fame.

Yesterday afternoon Turnkey Maurer in makinig hte usual nour -throuigh the corridors oif the jail, noticed Kbott Jackson enter the cell oif

colored d**s-

peraido named Wlaulker. The turnkey bald never before not'toed Jackson associating with this colored man, and by

shrewd! -wise Ma-urer secured a position, overheard the conversation* carried1 on in a whisper, and then carelessly entered- the lobby and went into the colored mianls toefl.

Jaidkson. surprised (by the presence off (Mteiurer, wfes somewhat abashed, and suggested a gtatme off cards with the oolored' mari. The turnkey went away, and Hast nlight at 10 o'clock, returhin«g iiinexpedtedily, quietly entered the middl lobby, the quarters containing Jackson.. Wallfinjg and' the colored man Walker.

Tne prisoners aW fiodked In their cells ware apparently deej4n sleep when the door oif Walker's ©ell was Opened, and, Itke a flash, Maiurer bounded into the narrow comipaftumen-t, seised Walker's fhroat iwilth his Wft hand -and with his right put a revolver to his head and dfraggied him out frnto the lobby.

Here were Jailer Wieighaus and Deputy Rruse, and, «aoh grabbing the prisoner, Maurer asked him for the revolver that he had. 'Walkeir, ternifled, denied any -knowledge of t'he weapon, until 'the turnkey, reaching in hl's pocket, ipulled- forth a murderous looking buJMoig revolver, (brand new and) of 38 caliber. Walker -h*a/d on all of h'is clothes, «ven to shoes and stocflcinga, ready and' waltinig far the coming of the hour off 11 o'clodk, when the night turnkey was to -enter his cell and open the doors.

fWalker (was ipwt in. another cell, and then A'lonEo WaUing, the accamplice ctf Sbot:t- Jlatokso.n, was ordered out and qiueistionedi aibout stteel sa.ws that he had.

The revolver Wad been passed to the colored man Walker by an alleged' friend. The steel sawa w-eire passed in to Walling iby a -lady, also we'll known to the turnkey, and who had. been shown many favors by this official.

The "plot, as arranged, was to awa the opening af t)he doors by 'the morning turnkey at 6 o'clock. He was to be throOt'led toy "Walker and shot down If necessary. The keys were to be taken |rom hi'm and the outer doons oipened, and escape .wou'Bd then have 'been easy. At that hour the night police wouM have gone home, and the jail would be guarded onJy (by the morning turnkey and It he lieutenant of police, and the .escape could not have been prevented.

J'aiiler Wleighaus has now Issued orders that hereafter -nothing can be given to the prisoners, and no one wi'il be allowed to hold any "O&mmum caition with them to any extent. ID very pr.vilege h'as been accorded the prisoners and their frten'dS, fbuit hereafter not the .slt'lghitest priviieige or courtesy will be shown e.'ttver prisoner or their .friends.

The t'wo imen have received food-, clothing and other InoMentals calculated to make itheir period In ja-11 comforta'bSe. Visitors could call and talk to them for hours, but these cslvt'llties have all been stopped.

LANGLEY'S FLYING MACHINE.

Professor Bel lea Upon Its Shape and Power for Succeaa. Prclfessor Dantgley'e machine measures but fourteen feet from tip to t:p| we-jghs, cctmiplete, twen'ty-four pound's, Is solidly ibu-ilt df steCl, and, compared with the air which supports It, has a weight df 1,000 to 1, says 'the St. Lou's GWdbe-iDemoicrat. It has no balloon arrangemenits af any soirt, and instead of' trying to bud Id. a. vessel lighter than the air land fillinig 'it wiith gases 'tO m-a»ke -rt rise, P-rafessor Dangley has praci'.-'ioally IbuMt a machine as heavy as he lifcets and relied upon lt% shape ar'l •po'wer for Bu.ctcessipul flights.

This is just 'the oppofi'te of what almost wery other experiment In this fi-eld -has lirled to do, although It wss apparent to everyone that a flying machine to be df any commercial or praottoa.1 value whatever, (would have to be heavy enough anld powerful enough to drove straight against or across and in and out of the stoutest gale that blows. Otherwise it would forever be at themefr-ey of the element. What was necessary was a ?hiip that -would ride the storm, in the air the same as a greait ocean liner r?des a storm ait sea.

Professor'Langley has been very careful to say that he nevor expressed his opinion that man can flj by hi* own Strength. But he hos demonstrated that poiwertfu'l machines, thousands cif times as heavy as the air ltseKf, can be buil't to navigate the air. As to Ju* the meaeure of his present success the secretary df the Smithsonian is exceedingly ret'Jcert. The latter say* that he entertains no doubt whatever th'afc a practical aurshitp for use In war is but a very short'way off.
