Isham G. Harris, Augustus H. Garland, and Joseph E. Johnston, holding hands, complete the circuit of an electrical device operated by a figure labeled “Pan Electric Co.” and “Dr. Rogers.” On the floor at Rogers’ feet are shares of “Pan Electric Co. Stock.” The three men are getting a jolt of electricity that surprises Puck, who is standing on the left, holding his lithographic pencil. A group of men are standing in the background, observing. A wire connected to “Dr. Rogers” runs out a window and connects to the office of the “Bell Telephone Co.” across the street. Caption: Puck – “Dear me! This is really a shocking affair!”
