Another Trolley Crash This Morning. Women and Men
 TrsmpIed Upon

Another serious trolley accident in which almost dozen persons were injured occurred on the Watervllie line this morning shortly before o'clock. The smash-up took place on the upper end of the Faber switch, the persons injured being employees of the Waterville Pin Co on their way to work. Three cars figured in the accident, two extras and the regular. Two of the young women in the &C., cident are thought to be seriously in' jured, while the others are suffering from minor injuries. The accident caused the widest excitement, oc- curing as it did in the fog, and dur ing the mix up that followed girls were trampled upon and thrown about in such manner that 1t IS surprising more were not badly hurt
 The most serious hurt are Miss Mary Daley of Wall avenue the well known singer, and Miss Josephine Reidy of Wall street The formers spine is thought to be severely in jured while her body is mass of bruises. Her head came in contact with the floor and it is feared that she may be hurt internally.
 Miss Reidy Is suffering from a fracture of the right ankle, several severe bruises and has been so af fected by shock following the collis ion that her injuries prove worse than first expected.
 Miss Margaret Dwyer of 27 Stone street is suffering from bruises, as she was trampled upon by several men in their haste to reach the door. She is also suffering from shock. Mrs Patrick Guinan of 23 Stone street went to the floor with such force that several of her teeth were knocked out. She bled considerably from the mouth. One of her ribs was fractured and several severe con- tusions were made on her body.
 James Tiernan of Baldwin street was also badly shaken up by the jar ring received and had to be removed to his home in Lunny's ambulance. Miss Daley and Miss Reidy also had to be carried to their homes in the ambulance.

 How the accident really happened has not been stated by the officials of the company, who are reticent about making statements. As far as it can be learned the cars that left Exchange place at 6:30 o'clock with the shop employees and the regular were the ones that figured in the smashup. AS one of the cars was rounding the lower end of Faber's switch the pole came off. The motor- man of the car following could not see far ahead of him because of the fog and crashed into the the first one before he could bring his car to a halt. But it was not the first crash that did the serious damage. It was the next crash which almost caused a panic. It is said that one of the cars had reached Waterville and was on its way back when it went slam bang into the two cars that were just getting untangled from the first acci- dent. The second bump simply terri fled the passengers and those who were not thrown to the floor made a wild rush for the doors.
 Miss Dwyer of Stone street, one of the girls in the accident, said it was awful. She had pair of glasses oE and some one stepped right on her face. The glasses were smashed, but none of the glass went into her eyes. She said the screaming was terrible in the cars and the fog was do dense that one could scarcely see what was
