Co111uoN.-Thsso was q Sllght coils
ion, yesterday, on tho street railway, Just
where It's track crosses that Of the Bel
mont Mill, on Division street. The driver
OF the street car coming north noticed q
train Of coal cars cross the track and pass
on down. BE kept his team in motion,
and when within q few feet Of the crossing
point, another train Of three cars came
down at q pretty rapid speed. Thestreet
car driver did all he could 10 stop his car
and prevent collision, but he did not
succeed. His horses were struck by the
passing coal cars. Contrary to the expec.
tatIon Of the passengers, who believed the
horses would either be killed or very serl'
ously injured, they were not hurt, ex-
Cept a few slight cuts on the fore legs.
We don't know whether anybody
was TO blame or not. We doknoW, how
ever, that no signal was given the street
car driver by that Of the first coal train
that another was following closely in
his rear. There should be some signal
adopted by the drivers on these coal
roads and the street track, or by the au-
thoritles Of the roads, so as to prevent
recurrence oil yesterdays accident. The
fact that no serious damage was done, or
any considerable loss entailed, yesterday,
may rot always prove to be SO, and some
simple signal might be the means Of
saving hundreds Of dollars to the treas
ury Of the railroad and mill companies.
