and raised his hand to the motorman
to stop, but that his signal was either
not seen or was disregarded, for the
car, without slackening speed, crash-
ed into the automobile and carried it
a distance of fifty-two feet before
stopping. The force of the impact
must have been tremendous, as the
trolley is a very light one, of the sin-
gle truck type. while the Mayer is a

Krusch was able to jump clear of his
seat, just as the car hit his machine.
and escaped injury. The trolley car
was in charge of Conductor Leonard
Mowry and ‘Motorman William Daton.
The car struck the auto almost exact-
ly in the middle of the front platform,
sticking into the car, which doubtless
saved the motorman from injury. The
car was derailed. but neither vehicle
went down the bank into the river.
There were only two passengers. nei-
ther of Whom were injured. '
The motorman at once called at--
tention to the fact that the street
lights at this point Werenot burning.
and blamed his failure to see the ob-
struction to that fact. There are
three street lights in the vicinity, but
they have not been burning for sever-
al nights, owing to the alleged fact
that as soon as new ones are put in.
by the lighting company, they are
broken with stones thrown by small
boys.
