What came very near being very
bad accident happened last night at
the corner Of Eden avenue and Bristol
street. The Sis car in charge OF Mo-
torman Henry Barnes and Conductor
Nolan ran. off the track at that point
and came within ten feet OF the curb
ing. Something on the guard rail was
the cause of the accident and at the
time when the car left the track the
air brake refused to work. The motor
man was rounding the curve very slow
ly or there would certainly have been
very bad accident and It would have
gone over the opposite embankment
The curve is the sharpest on the entire
road and If the proposed macadamizine
lis done the trolley company will be
asked to lay a wide curve.
