= A wrecked automobile was the net
loss in what came, near being a fatal
accident Saturday morning. when big
steel coal car, heavily loaded, made a
runaway dash from the head of the
street car, siding near the freight sta
ton of the New Haven road and crash
ed into the touring car of E. NJ. NJ.
Marion of Brooklyn. which was stand
ing in front of Thomas store in the
Hyde block. The rear end collision split
the tOnneau of the automobile and so
generally damaged the car that it is
ready to be consigned to the scrap
heap. The three occupants of the car
escaped with a few bruises and a
shaking up.
The runaway car, of $4,000 capacity
and loaded with about forty tons of
coal. had few minutes before the
accident been set in by the crew of a
New Haven road freight from the track
of.the steam road on to the electric car
line, from where a service car of the
company was later to haul
it to the power house below Danielson.
The trainmen supposed that they had
taken every necessary precaution to
prevent the car starting along the
down grade into Main street, having
blocked the forward wheels with a
stone and a log. A minute after the
car was set however, the pressure of
its load forward forced it over the OBJ
struetions under the wheels, and il
started down the street.
A warning cry called the attention
Of Freight Conductor Robert King to
this fact and he made q, race to catch
the runaway. The brake was on the
forward end Of the car. making it not
only necessary for King to catch IN
but also to climb up and run the
length of the car before he could get
to the brake. When he did get there
he found that the brake WAS in such
order that it would not hold against the
heavy load. and although he worked
like a beaver he could check the speed
to only certain extent and was pow
erless to prevent the impending
smash.
All of this part Of the incident was
witnessed by Mortimer Marion. who
