 What promised to be another Of those serious accidents which now and then occur at the Washington avenue crossing of the Naugatuck road, was narrowly averted to-day by the pres- ence of mind and the quick action of several persons. Precisely at the time
 that q south bound freight train was
 heading for the crossing delivery wag-
 on No 1.22S of the Standard Oil com
 pany started to cross the tracks, Dut
 one of the horses slipped and fell, and
 was unable to rise. The driver was
 terribly frightened, for he saw almost
 at once the horrors of q collision, the wagon being smashed to pieces, horse
 being ground under the cars, man
 receiving a free ride i'll the air. All
 these things rushed into his mind The
 train was approaching nearer and
 nearer. When he was about to give
 up all hope, the 1agman rushed out,
 waved his red pennant. and the train.
 which fortunately was not moving as
 speedily as generally, came to
 stop in the nick of time. and a serious
 accident was avoided, the basis of a
 suit of damages was removed and the
 newspapers were deprived of an
 article of news. The cond1'
 tion of the tracks at the Washington
 avenue crossing is wretehed and de
 plorable and those in authority should
 see that things are remedied. It Is
 not the first time that q horse mas
 fallen at this crossing. It Is almost
 all every day occurrence.
