LlNEMAN BADLY INJURED
WILLIAM G. COPP FALLS DISTANCE
OF TWENTY-FIVE FEET.
His Skull Fractured 1t Base, and 1t
ID Believed He In Hurt
Internally.

William G.. Copp, twenty-eight years old,
who has recently been employed In the
electrical branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. was thrown to the
ground from q high pole at the Baltimore
and Ohio depot this morning, about 1880
o'clock, receiving injuries which 1t Is be-
lieved will prove fatal. The accident was
the result, 1t Is alleged. of a rotten pole
being kept in service long time after 1t
had become dangerous. Copp. VINO was
formerly resident Of Winchester, marr1ed
Miss Fritz of the same Virginia town
only about two months ago, after ne had
worked here for the railroad company about
six months. 1t was his duty to make daily
visits to the companys poles and renew the
carbons in the arc lights. This morning ne
started from the depot end of the line, with
his sack filled with carbons, and had been
engaged in the work but a few minutes De-
fore he reached the rotten pole at North
Capitol and D streets. only a few feet from
the rear end of the depot shed. He went
to the top OF the pole and was about twenty
five or thirty feet from the ground when
the pole broke and fell directly across the
tracks, the lineman dropping on the iron
and rough roadbed.
Police Summoned.
The big glass globe was smashed and the
new carbon that he was about to adjust
was broken in several places. James Bros
nan, James Ford and d. c. Randolph, who
witnessed the accident hurried to the as
sistance Of the victim, and Detective Rey-
nolds and Policeman Gordon were sum-
moned. Copp was unconscious when the
men reached him, and 1t was thought by
some of those who saw him that he was
dead. The police ambulance was sum-
moned and the injured man was removed
to Providence Hospital. When he reached
the hospital the surgeons found his uncon-
seriousness was due to a fracture of the
skull His left arm was broken and his left
leg was severely injured. Besides these in
juries the man was hurt about the back.
and it is feared that he was also internally
injured.
Soon after he reached the hospital the
surgeons performed an operation to relieve
the pressure on the brain. This afternoon
at the hospital it was stated that the pa
tents condition was critical.
