Two NJ IN Meet In sta Mt Death.

Rutland, Jan. ~. 2.-Frederick F. Ray
mond was instantly killed about $50
O'Clock tonight when he was struck
by an electric light wire, which was
hanging from pole. The wire was
blown against him, striking him on the
back of the head, and in attempting to
ward off the blow he put out both hands.
The man fell lifeless to earth, and the
efforts of five physicians to resuscitate
him were unavailing as not a muscular
contraction of pulse beat rewarded
efforts of the medical men, who used a
pulmotor. The loose wire had fallen
from the main light wire of the Rutland
Railway Light & Power company, con-
Meeting the wire with street lamp,
which was hanging far from the street
The accident occurred on State street,
between Baxter and Pine streets. The
story of Mrs. Raymond, who was the
only immediate witness of the accident,
was to the effect that she first noticed
the wire when it struck her husband on
the back of the head, and when he saw
it coming toward him he uttered an
ejaculation and tried to wa rd it off with
his hands. He fell on his face as soon
as his hands touched the wire which
carried about $500 volts. Mr. Ray
mond, who was forty-nine years of age,
was marble worker. He leaves a wife
and one daughter.
