KINGSTON, n. Y, Jan. "A serious ac-
cident occurred on the Kingston Electric
Street railway. The lower portion of the
road Is very steep grade along the lower
end of Broadway. Near the top Of the
hill is switch. When car No. 1, in
charge Of Conductor James Norton and
Motorman Charles Link, reached this
point going down it was found that the
brake would not hold the car. The motor
man made frantic efforts to get control of
his ear, but the ice had got between the
brake and the wheels and the sand box
passengers aboard and they made des-
perate attempts to jump from the flying
car, but were prevented for a tim,.
Alishted Safely In n Snow b lnk.
Finally one man, T. p. Ostrander,
sprang for his life and landed safely in q
snowbank. Two of the passengers were
ladies, and they were kept in the car by
the conductor, who stuck 20 his post, as
did also the mOtorman. BY this time
they were moving at the rate of IA mile n
minute, and many spectators gazcd in
horror at the runaway, which looked
every moment as though it would dash
into one Of the buildings that lined the
road down the hill. The car kept the
rails however, until the sharp curve ut
the foot of the hill was reached. Right
here tine tracks lead into Ferry street. on
one side of which stands the building of
the Cornell Steamboat company.
Crashed Into q Building.
The runaway dashed over this curve at
a terrific rate and plowed half way
through the Office taking down huge
iron pillar in its flight. The motorman
was seriously injured about the skull and
he has been unconscious ever since and is
likely to die. Conductor Norton came
through safely. Mrs. James Seifforth
was seriously shocked and received a anum-
Der of minor injuries. Her sister, who
was also on the car, was severely bruised,
but not seriously. Two gentlemen from
Germantown jumped just before the car
struck and escaped with slight injuries.
MotOrman Link was taken to the city
hospital, but the others did not require
much attention.
