Castleton Man Slips From Flat Car on Which He Is Riding -
Suffers Double Fracture of Skull -
Dies On Operating Table -

Charles McCarty of Castleton, a motorman employed by the Rutland Railway, Light and Power company, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon when he fell between a flat car on which he was riding and the passenger car to which it was attached. He died on the operating table at the Rutland City hospital last night at 12 o'clock. The man had suffered a double fracture of the skull and many minor injuries, and little hope of his recovery was ever entertained after the extent of his wounds was realized. Several physicians worked over him for hours at the hospital. it is believed that he received the fracture which proved fatal when he was struck by the work car on which he had been riding, and thrown to the ground.
Mr. McCarty was 30 years old, and had lived in this vicinity most of his life. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Margery, six years old, and a son Jerry Jerome, one year old, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick H. McCarty of Castleton, two brothers, John and George of Castleton, three sisters, Catherine of Rutland, Harriet of Castleton and Mary McCarty of Pittsfield, Mass.
The accident occurred at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of Hart's switch, between Castleton and West Rutland.
The young man, who had been in the employ of the firm but two months, was acting as brakeman on a flat car attached to an open passenger car. The work car had been in use on the western end of the line, and was being towed back to the barn. McCarty was seated on the edge of the front part of the flat car and, in endeavoring to change his position, he lost his balance and slipped between the cars. He landed on his feet, and for a few seconds managed to remain upright, matching his speed against that of the cars between which he was imprisoned, but before they could be brought to a halt he had tired and was struck by the pursuing flat car. He was knocked down and fell between the rails in such a way that the wheels of the car did not touch him, but when his fellow workmen picked him up it was discovered that his condition was serious.
The injured man was placed on the car and taken to West Rutland where medical aid was soon obtained, Dr. C.B Ross attending him. He was later brought to this city, and taken to the Rutland City hospital in the Stearns ambulance. He underwent an operation last night for the skull fracture.
