Fridav, the I3ih, Caused Two Workmen Almost Instant Death New York. December 14.—Nervous ness and superstition regarding Fri day the thirteenth brought dangerous injury to a gang of thirteen workmen on the Third avenue elevated struc ture at Seventy-third street today. Two of the men may die. Oscar Anderson and Tony Ziznosi- skl were putting rivets in the regular elevated tracks when Andersen re marked about Its being Friday, the 13th, and said there were just thirteen men In their gang Ziznossiski started and looked up quickly. His hammer struck the third rail. An explosion followed instanlv and a second lat. r the man’s clothing was in flames. An derson rushed to his companion’s aid. hut his clothing caught fin- also and both were terribly burned. Foreman Daniel Murphy managed to tear the lazing garments from the pair, but himself terribly burned before •he rest of the laborers came to hi = ssitnnce. Anderson and Ziznosiski are not xpected to live. Waynesboro. Ga., December 11. Nothing has hapi>ened in recent years that has wrought so much excitement as the stabbing of Mose Green. Wed nesday night, about eight miles from the city. In the afternoon about dark, •he, with a party, left the city,' going cut on the Quaker road about eigh, miles. About 2 o’clock that night word was received in the city of tin- serious cutting of Mr. Green. It seems tltat the party were drink ing and Green was stabbed in re ■ riv 100 plaees, the ettis varying from nr- qnarter of an inclt to an inch d ■-p, covering almost his entire body. !>rs. Milner and Cox went to his assist ance, and at 10 o’clock Thursday he was brought to the city, and is at his heme, doing as w-ell as could be ex pected at present. Green accuses Byrom Evans of do ing the cutting, while Evans stoutly denies it- No warrants have hern issued up to this time. Green is a paralytic and! is almost helpless when well, and the cutting of him has created much excitement for he was universally liked by all who knew him. Several theories are advanced as to (how this afltack was made, but no one knows just how it happen ed. The affair seems to be a mys tery. and developments will be watch ed with interest. NOTICE.
