TWO CARS OFF IN SUCCESSION.
Six in IA Row Last Night at Anderson
and whitaker Streets.

ana whitaker streets.
There was a massng of cars of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle OF Hope
Railway at Whitaker and Anderson streets
last night, caused by the deraiTment of
two cars. The cars ran off il was said
because of a defective curve, and for
about two hours, things were in confused
condition.
The trouble started when the Montgom-
cry street car ran aground at the curve
and at point where it blockaded both the
Anderson and Whitaker street tracks. A
gang of men was soon at the corner with
old rails and other implements and for
some time they priced away. After some
thing like half hours work they sue
ceeded in getting the car on the track
again, and those that had been stopped
continued on their schedules.
The gang which got the first car on the
track discovered the cause 10 be a negl-
gence on somebody's part in allowing sand
from the street TO bury the track. What
ever the cause may have been. however
those IN charge OF The next car on the
Montgomery street line apparently took
no notice Of the trouble into which the
first car had fallen, and on reaching the
curve il TOO went into the sand. Again
both lines were biockaded and at 10 O'Clock
a gang of men was pricing 10 get it on the
track. During this time the deraEed car
was worked Off Whitaker street. so that
cars on this line were kept running.
OF course, the accident was one that
might occur at any time, but IL is only a
result remarked a bockaded passenger, oil

hope for a change why not, It has beer

The body was taken to the corner Of
Abercorn and Broughton streets on the
car as soon as it could again be put on The
rails. The coroner had been sent for and
arrived about p O'Clock. He found the car
off the track and the body jammed under
it. He and others who were there got 1t
aboard the car and it was thus carried 60
his undertaking rooms.
Coroner Goette searched the body care
fully to see if any evidence of identity

successful, not oven a letter being found.

very good condition apparently, though the
dirt and dust gathered in the accident
made il almost impossible TO tell in Just

a brown Alpine, and did not show great
signs of wear The man was apparently
about % years old
The coroner asked a number of people

The motorman could not explain just
how the accident occurred. He said there
was shadow across the track just where
the man was struck, and he thought he
must have been standing in this and there

there was no shadow, and they could moi
