SMASH OF TROLLEY CARS.
The MOtormAn Stuck Bravssy TO His Post
"a and Was Killed .-

BROOKLYN, July ga collision between
TWO electric trolley cars of the Brooklyn
City Railroad company at Third avenue
and Stxty-ffth street resulted in the kill
Ing OF Patrick McHugh. the motorman Of
one OF the cars, and the more or less Sc
hous injury Of eight others.
McHugh remained at his post so faith
FULLY laboring to lessen the force of the
collision that he was caught between the
rolliding cars. The first work Of the ex-
rited throng which soon gathered around
the wrecked cars was to remove McHugh.
The unfortunate man seemed to have
stood right where the cars struck the hard
est, and he sustained so severe injuries of
his thigh and lower limbs that he died
soon after being removed to the Norwe-
gian hospital.
The injured were Alexander Mills and
wife Of AL Third avenue, Herman Tonka
OF ~ Fourteenth street, George Stats of
50 Court street and R. W. Dillingham; of
lS1 Fourth avenue. The people were all
removed to the Norwegian hospital.
No one seemed to be able to say how the
accident happened or who was to blame
for 1t, further than II the first motorman
had not stopped so suddenly the following
car would not have run into the preceding
ono The company will hold an inyestiga-
ton to tx the responsibility OF the acct
