Israel is Iowayiaa, Yesterday
A near fatality occurred yesterday
afternoon, in Rowayton, to two of the
employea of Warren Brothers Com-
pany, and they are lucky today to be
alive to tell the tale, although both
were severely burned by the electrical
current which the New York. New Hav
yen and Hartford Railroad (‘ompany‘
uses to operate its trains through this
state.
The victims were Henry Baker. of
Massachusetts. in foreman, and George
Hough, of Meriden, both old employee
of the Warren Brothers, engaged in
laying Warrenite pavement on Can-
lnecticut avenue. They were in the
ifreight yard at Rowayton, where the
mixing plant of the company is lo
cated. it was intended yesterday to
‘lay a new water pipe line from me
stream in Row‘ayton to the tank which
the company uses in mixing concrete
and other materials. The men had hold
of an iron pipe. and were endeavor-
.ing to get the rust from inside of it»
[in some manner the pipe came in"
dreds of bolts of electricity. 3
There was a flash and both men
dropped to the ground, having been!
‘severely shocked. Baker's hands and:
arms were terribly burned and flour;
was also badly burned about the hands“
and arm! Companions quickly wo-otl
to their assistance, and the men were
carried to the boarding place in South
,.\‘orwallt, where pr. Robert M. Wolfe;
attended them. it will be some time;
before they fully recover front the‘
shock and burns. but they are more.
than thankful to be alive, as it is‘
quite likely they escaped receiving
the full voltage of the wires.
