terday and last evening was the trolley
car collision. II cannot be denied but
that the want of signals at the switches
caused the accident. 1t will not be the
last one. The route is one that is sure to
have lots of fogs and mists. 1t is all
guess work from Eden Park.
The Wilmington ear is just as likely to
collide with u New Castle Car. Third
street bridge is the cause Of tho roads
trouble. You never know when you arc
going to get across. 1t is chance wotk
with tho street cars. When car would
enter u certain block then tho danger
signal would have been displayed at tho
other end.
No collision could take place. The soon.
or the travelling public compel the railway
companies to put in signals the sooner
will it be safer to travel over tho road. An
invcs igation reveals the fact that DORIS
was badly bruised.
He did his whole duty under the crcum-
stances. He shovel he was no coward.
He stood at his post until tho crashing
timbcrs and motor defeated human aature
all regardless OF self oprotect tho lives OF
those aboard on the car. None OF tho
men who had charge OF tho cars will
be discharged
A severe reprimand will cause them to
remember this costly lesson.
Superintendent Miller said last evening
that the Two new cars will be put in ser.
vice Tomorrow and that no inconvenience
will DO caused to the general travelling
public.
