SPLIT THE SWITCH.
$ Car Straddles Church and Chapel
 Street Crossing.

Did you have to walt for your car at
 bout a quarter of seven last evening? :? If so, there was lots of company. for
 'ost of the lines were tied up for
 me fifteen minutes at that hour. The
 ause was one which has happened before, As ear t76, bound out State and Ferry streets, was crossing Chapel street on Church the rear wheels tried to take the curve, or Split the switch as 1t Is called, and stranded the car across one northbound track and both cast and west bound tracks By back ing and running the car with the aid of wedge, some fifteen minutes of hard work and much sputtering from the crowds who were anxious to get home suffced to get the balky steed on the rails again, and all the other cars dashed forward in a violent effort to make up lost time, It was fortu- nate that the accident had not occurred an hour earlier or tho blockade and in- convenience would have been much greater.
