CAPE ELECTRIC ACCIDENT.
The car on the Cape electrics which
left the casino about 9 O'Clock Saturday
evening, jumped the rail near the Will
lard hose houss and planted itself almost
at right angle across the track. 1t
was fully an hour or more before the car
could be got of and in the meantime
the theatre cars from the city began to
arrive and Of course were brought to a
standstill. Something like eight or ten
cars were blocked on the city side OF the
wreck and but one car was available on
the Cape Cottage side to make the trans
fer.
Along toward o'clock the track was
cleared and things went smoothly from
that time on to the last car of the night.
1t is quite coincidence that the opening
and closing days of BARLEY McCuilum5s
season should be signalized by accidents
SO much alike, but here's to better luck
next year.
