Lewis Charles Edney, colored, employ
ed by the Penobscot Bay Electric Com
pany, met with an accident while at work
August list, on the company's sub-station
at Prospect. With Messrs. A. c. Hop
kins and Scott Gray, Lewis had been at
work on the lightning arresters. The
power was turned on as soon as the work
was done and all were making ready to
return to Belfast when Lewis in attempt
ing to pick up roll of tarred paper lean
ed against the wires and received 10000
volts in his shoulder, pinning him to the
wires The current was shut off and
when Messrs. Hopkins and Gray lifted
him from the wires his body was rigid
and his clothing was smoking. DR.. H. E.
Snow of Bucksport was called and assist
ed in bringing the injured man to the
Waldo County Hospital, where he is at
tended by Dr. Foster c. Small The nerv-
Gus shock was very severe causing ir-
regular heart action for a time. The
burn on his shoulder is so severe that
minor operation will be necessary to re-
move the dead tissue His left foot is
seriously burned, particularly the little
toe. Less than a year ago Edney re-
ceived like shock at the power house in
East Belfast and was in the Waldo Coun-
ty Hospital two months for treatment.
