ciently repaired TO allow the passage OF
trains The greatest difficulty was e&-
perienced in raising the sleeping car that
had fallen into the cornfeld. forty feet
down the embankment. The other two
sleeping cars were taken off the tracks

STREET CARS in COLLISION.
Two Cars Come Together on the
West Michigan-Street Line.

Street car collisions had the call yester-
day and. tried to displace the record for
collisions set by the railroads on the day
previous. In one instance street car col
lision was serious and resulted in injury to
one of the workmen. In another the car
tried to take a sidewalk instead of keeping
to the rails. The third case was an escape
from probable injury of many people when
passenger train nearly collided with a
loaded Irvington car.
The first collision occurred at 7:2S in the
morning between two cars on the West
Michigan-street line. Motorman Porter
was painfully injured. Several persons
were cut by flying glass, among them be-
Ing w. Z. Rice and John r. Bells, city
firemman attached to hosehouse No. in
Haughville.
The collision occurred at the fill on Mich
igan street between Patterson street and
the bridge over White river. A heavy fog
hung over the lowlands and was partly
responsible for the collision. The east
bound car, No. 226, late. Motorman
Porter expected west-bound car No. 222
to wait on the switch. Instead of waiting
Motorman thinner ran ahead and was run
ming at good speed in the single track when
he saw the east-bound car approaching
through the fog. Brakes were applied and
the current reversed in both cases, but
the cars were too close TO be stopped The
cars crashed into one another with great
seats. Windows were broken and several
OF the passengers were cut with flying
glass. Motorman Porter was caught be-
tween the two cars and crushed He was
injured internally and received cuts on the
head and back.
Another great fright was given a car
load or passengers on an Irvington car at
O'Clock yesterday morning at the Lake
Erie & Western crossing of Washington
street. An Irvington car was coming
west. NO. fagman was seen at the cross
ing. yet the conductor did not get of and
run ahead as is usually the case. The
motorman proceeded across the tracks but
In some matter the car became grounded
In the middle of the tracks. While the
motorman was adjusting the controller
there suddenly loomed up around the curve
of the railroad about one hundred feet
away an engine and three cars. The en-
gineer saw the predicament and Immediate
ly applied the air brakes and reversed his
lever. In the meantime the controller on
the street car was adjusted and the car
moved slowly across the tracks The pas
senger train glided by, just barely missing
the end or the car. When the passengers
saw the train loom up at the side of the
car great excitement prevailed

SUIT AGAINST SUGAR TRUST.
Mr.. Trimble Wants 1t to Stop Selling
Below Cost and Dealing i'm Coffee.

Below Cost and Dealing i'm Coffee.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 2S.-Robert j.
Trimble to-day filed in the Court of Chan
Ger, bin asking that lhe American Sugar
Refining Company be restrained from deal
ing in coffee, that it be restrained from
selling sugar at less than cost and that
the directors of the company be compelled
to distribute among the stockholders
portion of its undivided profits. which. the
bill alleges, amounts to about $5OOW,WO.
This bill is an amendment of one that
was filed by Mr.. Trimble in May, 1900, to
accomplish similar purposes and that was
dismissed on demurrer on technical
grounds with leave to file an amended bill.
Mr. Trimble charges in his bill that the
company's charter gives IL no authority to
deal in coffee. and that, as a result OF the
fight with the Arbuckles, the company is
selling sugar at less than cost. 1t Is also
alleged that as a result of this fight some
$50 900 600 of undivided profits have been ex-
pended, and that unless the order asked
for is granted and the fight Is discon-
tinued the remaining undivided profits also
will be spent.
