Thomas III. Atwood, a member OF Hook
and Ladder Company, No. ., OF the Prov
idence Fire Department, was taken TO his
home on Westminster street last evening
by fellow fireman in a critical condi-
tion.
Mr.. Atwood had been assisting his fam
ily in moving Saturday. and the heat OF
the day, il is thought by his friends, al
fected his brain; 80 much SO, that 1t is
probable that his services "a fireman
are ended. Some who are intimately ac-
unainted with Mr.. Atwood think that his
mind has been affected for some time,
over financial matters, as IL Is known that
he loaned a man $4,000 some time ago, and
has never been able 10 get any part OF II
back There are other causes assigned TO
the breaking down OF his mind
Mr.. Atwood was for years considered
the best driver in the department, and
these who rode behind, and with him,
felt confident that there would be no aC-
cident. He has many friends and they
are In hopes that the atlliction is only
temporary. Captain Smith has reported
his case to the fire commissioners.

The strength Of Rock Island is evidence

A horse attached to q tip cart, owned
By the Smith Concrete Company, was
instantly killed just before noon today
ct the corner OF Atwells avenue and Solo
street. The horse jumped into the air
and fell dead. Upon investigation II was
found that the ground in the vicinity
where the horse wss killed was charged
with electricity, for while the men were
looking the ground over dog trotted
over the spot and as IL did it was sent in
to the air dozen or more feet, and when
II struck the ground was dead.
The Union Railroad Company was no.
titled, but the men found that the trouble
was not from their wires but from
those OF the Narragansett Electric Light
ing Company, as the large feed wire had
sagged sufficient amount to rest upon
the cross wire of the Union Railroad
Company wire, which formed circuit
with the ground by the poles on either
side. The spot where the horse and dog
were killed was directly under cross
wire.
The Narragansett Company were noti-
ded and remedied the defect.
