A CONDUCTORS DEATH.
Excessive Electric Current on the Trol- ley Wires-Coroner Believes That Steadman Was Shocked.

Excessive Electric Current on the Trol- | ley Wires-Coroner Believes That | Steadman Was Shocked.
 | William Steadman, conductor em- ployed by the Bridgeport Traction company, says the Bridgeport Standard
 of Monday, died while on duty last evening and after examination Coroner Doten is of the opinion that the death of Steadman was due to the over-charg-
 ing of the trolley wires. It is probable
 that a finding to this effect will be re-
 turned by the coroner.
 Steadman died during the thunder
 storm that evening and it soon became
 reported that he had been struck by lightning Later it was given out that
 he had died of heart failure but the coroner offeres a solution to his death in a combination of the two Stead- man was employed on the Seaview ave- nue division and was making trip to the seaview ferry. When the car cross ed East Main street, the trolley pole jumped the wire at the cross over and Steadman leaned far out from the rear tp adjust it. While endeavoring to make 1t the connection, there was a vivid flash of lightning and the con ductor fell headong on the platform of the car. Several went to his assistance but it was seen at glance that he was dead
 Coroner Doten said Monday that he did not believe that the conductor was struck by bolt, neither did he die of heart failure without some foreign trou ble. He said that from the evidence he had secured he was inclined to believe that while Steadman was endeavoring to get the pole on the wire, the rope struck against the wire It was thor oughly wet and made a good conductor. It was at this time that the flash came and Coroner Doten believed that the wire was either directly or indirectly charged with an unusual amount of electricity, which passed down the rope. Steadman's clothing was probably very wet and the circuit was complete. The coroner holds that if the man was in good health the shock would not have been sufficient to have caused serious injury but Steadman hnd long been sufferer from heart trouble and the combination resulted in his death.
 The body was removed to Stratford and taken in charge of by friends, He has no relatives in this country, but 1t is understood that he has mother liv- ing in England. Steadman was at one time in the employ of the Consolidated road and served as ticket agent and station agent at Stratford. He was dis charged from the roads employ some time ago, and after period of idleness secured work as a conductor. He was well liked among the employees of the company, and their sympathies will be represented by floral piece which cost over S25. Steadman belonged to the odd Fellows lodge in Stratford, was a Red Man and member of the Sons of St. George.
