DRIVER OF TEAM AT FAULT
In Rutland Collision the Railroad Com
missioners Decide That Rutland R.
r. Should Adopt New Switch
lock System.

Newport, Feb. 11.-Carelessne on
the part of X, w. Eyarts, the driver,
was the cause Of an accident at q
grade crossing on the Central Vermont
railroad at st. Albans, October 81, zoos,
In which Mr.. Evarts and his wife were
injured, according to the report of the
state board of railroad commissioners.
Their report follows:
"On the evening OF October 81, 1908,
Mr. and Mrs II. w Evarts, of st. Al
blns, were driving westerly along Lake
street in said city. Their course led
across the many tracked railroad grade
crossing just south of the Central YER
mont depot in that place. This cross
ing is very dangerous one ON account
OF the large number Of tracks and the
frequency OF train movements theFeover
but is protected by signals operated
from tower located just south of the
crossing. When Mr.. and Mrs. Eyarts
against them, and the crossing was
blocked by moving train. As the train
was just clearing the crossing, but be-
fore the signal evidenced that the
crossing was open to them, Mr.. Evarts
and another team just ahead Of his
started across. The preceding team
barely succeeded in passing safely over
the fifth track along which was coming
y shifting engine. with van attached,
from the north. being hidden from view
by the westerly wall of the depot un-
I'll it emerged on the crossing,
Eyarts concluded that he could not stop
his horse without injury to ii and pos
sibly to himself and wife, and veered
from the northerly TO the southerly side
of the highway and tried to thus cross
ahead of the engine, but was caught at
the extreme southerly side Of the cross
ing. His carriage was somewhat dam
ageo. and himself and wife thrown out,
the wife receiving the more serious
though not fatal Injuries.
"From all the evidence. we are salts
fed that Mr. Evarts attempted to
make the crossing when the signal was
against him, and that the accident re-
suited from his own raTeiessness1
The board recommends more precau
tions in the Rutland railroad yard at
Rutland to guard against collision
such as occurred December 3, zoos in
which I. Greene was injured, perhaps
by installing >switchlccks. The board
asks the Rutland railroad TO consider
the matter seriously and devise safe
guards in the switches used.
