ries, near this city, while pulling a
flexible steel guy rope across the light
ing wires of the Virginia Passenger

tached was lifting four-ton granite
block, when the steel rope broke at a
joint and fell across the Passenger

full force of the current.
Phil Godsey the older negro. who
was third in line had sufficiently re-
covered from his injuries to leave the

employees of the two companies, IN
Guiding Superintendent Staples, owe
their lives to the happy fact that they
took their hands from the steel rope
before the insulated covering on the
lighting wires was broken.
