Three of the lady members of the Wilson
Barrett Dramatic Company received pain
full injuries yesterday while riding on a
cable-car on the San Pablo-avenue line, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets. The
ladies had Just arrived in Oakland, and
Mrs. Belmore, Mr.. and Mrs. Murray Car
son and Mrs. Cooper Cliffe boarded the
cab!e-car at Seventh street The car was
running at the usual rate of speed, when
the front struck violently against the cover
to an opening in the roadbed that had been
carelessly left open. The sudden jar threw
Mrs. Carson against an iron railing, she re-
ceiving an injury TO the right shoulder.
Mrs. Cliffe. daughter of Mrs. Belmore, was
also thrown against an iron railing, and
her right arm was hurt Mrs. Belmore
struck her knee against an iron railing.
The ladies were removed in a carriage to
their hotel. The injuries of Mrs. Carson
and Mrs. Cliffe are not serious, and they
will be able to play with the company as
usual Mrs. Belmore. however, did not
escape so fortunately. When she was
taken to the hotel she was unable to walk,
and the injury to her knee may prove
serious.
A conference of committees from the
carpenters and contractors was held last
evening and the indications are that what
seemed ready to grow into a disastrous
strike may be compromised and settled
wit bout any serious difficulty.
