MONSON.

James Lynch, age about 26, was killed by shock from an electric wire in Mon son Saturday morning about o'clock. Lynch was in the employ of the Central Massachusetts electric company of Palmer and had gone to Monson to do some work The wires which were to be worked upon were cut off from the main wires, which were carrying 8 current. Lynch had mounted pole and was leaning against a wire. He reached up and cut off another wire and immediately fell back. The spur on one of his climbers caught on the pole and prevented him from falling. En- ployes of the hat shop saw him and at once got ladder. IIe was taken down and laid on the grass. Mir. Rollins, man ager of the company, at once drove to Monson on being notified of the accident He found that the wires running to the hat shop had been properly cut off and the current on the wire upon which Lynch was leaning must have come from the ground. When he cut the other wire a
 
 passed through his body with sufficient force to cause his instant death. No one can be blamed for the accident, as it was not due to any carelessneSs and could not have been foreseen. A hole was burned in his right leg where the current entered and the tip of the foreinger on the left hand, where the current passed out, was also burned.
 Grace Sedgwick Cushman, 20, died at her home Saturday evening at 7.2O of tuberculosis of the stomach. Miss Cusb- man was graduate of Monson academy in the class of '96. She had been attend ing Miss Wheeler's school in Providence, R. l., which she left on account of her illness. She was daughter of Mir. and Mrs. E. D. Cushman. She leaves beside her parents sister, Blanche, and a brother, Edward. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2.30 p. m.
