TWO HURT BY THIRD RAIL.
ONE MAN WILL PROBABLY DIE-WORK.
MANS HAMMER STRUCK RAIL. IN
STEAD OF RIvET

An accident through which two men wer.
badly burned and otherwise injured one Of
whom will probably die occurred yesterday
the Twenty-eighth-st. station of the Third
ave. elevated line The men were John WOfert
twenty-eight years old, of No 1868 Third-ave
and John Coughlin, thirty-six years old of No
S5S Tenth-ave- They were repairing the rails
u the southbound track COughin using a
heavy steel hammer and Wolfert holding the
iron rivets used to fasten the rails when
Coughlin missed his aim and instead of strik-
ing the rivet hit the third rail.
Immediately there was a loud explosion and
CCughIin was thrown TO the street while every
vestige of clothing, even to his shoes was
burned from his body. WoIfert was also thrown
several feet and his clothing set afre He was
dazed for a minute two, only recovering in
time to escape a southbound train by jumping
to the street. A policeman of the East Thirty
fifth-st station who met him tore his burning
clothing from him. He then called an ambu-
lance which took the two men TO Bellevue
Hospital.
Hardly an inch of Coughlin's body escaped
the action of the electricity. He was charred
from head to foot and suffered greatly. II is
said that he has little chance of life. Wolfert
was burned in the right hand and down the
right side. Though severely injured, and suffer-
ing intensely from the shock, he refused TO
stay at the hospital after his injuries had been
dressed but went home.
