Trolley Crash.

The long-looked- for crash between
tlolleys ut the corner of Calhoun aud
West State street, Trenton, occurred
| Monday night at | /. % when car on
the Trenton street railway collided
with Lambertville car on the John
son line, tearing away the headlight
and fender of the Lambertville car
and crushing its own sides as we'll as
smashing the glass on the front of
both cars. No one was hurt. The
Trenton Street Railway company has
the right of way, being the oldes:
company, but the tracks were s'innery
on the deep incline of the ca noun
street hill from the feeder bridge to
the water power. The Lambertvile
car left the Warren street terminal at
IL. 30 and consumed five minutes in
running to the scene of the collision.
It started down hill after crossing the
feeder bridge and the tracks we're icy
and slippery and Motorman William
McGowau, au extra man, applied the
brakes. The car continued to slide.
Conductor Wallace Mershon jumped
from the car and signalled to Mellow
an to stop. {. II. lane, the State
street ear motorman saw this but did
not slacken mp, thinking that the
Johnson line man would heed the
warning OF his conductor. MCGOWAN
had the brakes on, but the ear kept
on down grade and the crash occurred.
The Lambertville car was crowded
and there was wild dash to get ont
of the car.
