SERrous ACCIDENT. While two deck
hands, employed on the steamer T. J.
Potter. were loading freightat Tacoma.
Tuesday evening, collision took
place between the trucks, resulting in
serious injuries to one OF the men
named J. Anderson. One OF the
truck handles entered the abdomen
inflicting very ugly wound. Medical
assistance was procured Immediately,
and it was deemed necessary to con-
vcy the injured man TO the
hospital. He was brought over
TO Seattle by the Potter and
taken TO Grace hospital, where
he now lies in a precarious con-
dition. The other deck hand was so
badly shaken mp that he has been una
bic TO attend 10 his work since the ac-
cident. X is not astonishing that
such accidents occur, judging
from the steep grade which low water
always gives gangways, and some pre-
caution should be taken at such times
10 insure the safety OF truckers, who
are themselves often recklessly careless
while loading and unloading vessels.
Thar TrxE cARD AGAIs.--Train
Dispatcher Sharp Of the Puget Sound
shore railway yesterday informed a
Posr-InrE1IiaRscER reporter that
trains will be running on the revised
schedule next Sunday. From now
until that time the two daily passen-
ger trains win operate under special
orders, so that close connections will
be made with the Northern. and no
inconvenience through delay az Stuck
Junction win be experienced by pas
sengers. The new mail car service
will begin Sunday, and the Pullman
will be placed on Sunday or Monday.
The trouble over the new schedule
arose from the mistake in the time
card OF the Northern. The officials of
the road here have spared no effort TO
accommodate passenger travel and
make proper connection with the
Northern. and are not to be blamed in
any degree for whatever small annoy
ance may have been caused to the
public.
