SLIPPERY RAILS.
What Caused the Suburban
Railroad Accident at East
Providence, Say Officials

An electric car on the Bristol Subur-
ban line was dcrailed In East Providence
just before midnight Monday. The .eaI
was one of tho heaviest OF those operated
on the through lines. and that everybody
upon IL was not killed is a miracle.
The tracks were slippery from the very
heavy fog. and for this reason the late
cars were run with extreme care. This
particular car was running toward
Providence, and had reached sharp
down grade at Moorcs corners. when the
motorman, testing his air brake and find-
ing pressure OF 25 pounds. started down
the hill.
Before the car had travelled 50 feet on
this grade the motorman found that his
car was sliding.
Reversing the motor he attempted 20
stop the car. but, instead, II slid along
faster and faster. until II Jumped the
rails. plunged with a terrific crash into
tree, then into "a post. and almost
turned turtle"
The motorman and conductor were
stunned. Mrs Isabella Harris OF Psllss
street was picked up unconscious. al
though she was not seriously injured.
Charles H. Holmes, an accountant. re-
siding on Cypress street, was thrown out
OF window. and hurled against tree
His head was badly cut, and his hip very
seriously injured.
The car ran down the hill so fast that
on all the wheels a hat surface was
ground by the rails.
The officials of the Union Railroad COM
pany said today that there was no doubt
that the accident was due TO the slippery
condition Of the rails caused by the heavy
fog and melting OF frost in the ground
around the rails Is generally come ded
That the motorman was exercising
carefulness 10 avoid an accident under
the evil conditions is attested by one OF
the two injured passengers. Mrs. Harris.
