train of the Maine Central railroad was
halted in the freight yard, the engine and
forward cars standing over the electric
car track. The gates were down and
quite distance back Motorman Blake
shut off the current and applied the
brake. The rails were wet and the tracks
were covered with leaves SO that 1t was
impossible to stop the car. Motorman
Blake, however, hung to his car re-
solved to hold it back if possible. 1t could
not be done and the car smashed into the
engine. The hood of the electric car was
quite badly smashed as was the fender of
the car. No passenger was injured.

the wrist by the overhanging sign on his
car which fell when the collision came.

result of the falling sign. The car was
taken to Portland for repairs and will
probably be in running order in day or
