CRASHED INTO A TROLLEY CAR

It Was Stalled on @ Track of the Berk-
 shire Division-A Smash-Up.
 Bridgeport, July 22.-Trolley car No. 175 of the Bridgeport Traction company was badly wrecked this morning in a collision with the west-bound Berkshire division train leaving here at 9:35. The collision took place at the East Wash ington avenue crossing and was una- yoidable.
 The trolley pole jumped its wire just as the car was crossing the steam roads tracks The conductor was try ing to replace the pole when he heard the whistle of the approaching train. Knowing the car could not be moved in time, he ran toward the train and sig nailed it to stop.
 It's speed was too great, however, and this, coupled with the wet rails, rem dered it impossible to stop, and the To- comotive crashed into the car.
 The latter fortunately carried no pas sengers, and Motorman George Van Ness escaped injury by leaving his sta tion. The car was turned completely around. The fender, dashboards, run ming board and, in fact. the whole car, were badly damaged. The loss will be about $500.
