Street Gars Collided.
There was a collision on the
river line of the electric company
at an early hour last Thursday
morning between a passenger car
and a work car, caused by the
motorman on the work car run
ning off schedule towards the river.
The collision occurred on a grade
just betwpen the switch and the
negro pavillion, and the two cars
went together with great force.
A passenger car en route to the
city in charge of Conductor How
ard Smith and Motorman Ulse
Hughes was coming up the grade
from the river with only two pas
sengers—Messrs L. G. Potter and
B. H. Whelchel. As the car came
on a curve the work car wheeled
upon it in an instant- and crashed
in the front end but not materi
ally damaging the car. Motor-
man Hughes stuck to his post, re
versed his car and endeavored to
get it out of the way. However,
the track was wet and when the
motorman on the work car ap
plied the brakes his car slid and
could not be stopped,
Mr. Potter attempted to jump
and one of his legs was broken be
low the knee. Mr. Whelchel was
thrown forward and sustained a
severe cut on the forehead and his
back was wrenched. His injuries
were slight, but Mr. Potter will
h e laid up several weeks.
The blame for the accident is
due to the motorman on the work
car running off schedule.
