tween Ralph avenue car and a Broad
way car at Broadway and Myrtle ave-
nue., Williamsburg. last evening, one man

Zinke. who was on the back platform. to
the street.
In the mean time. the motorman of
the Broadway car started ahead, but

man ahead he put on the brakes. Be-
cause OF the slippery rails the brakes
refused to work and the Broadway car
crashed into the rear platform OF the
Ralph avenue car. The windows OF both
cars were smashed. as were the rear and
front platforms. Traflc was blocked for
half an hour.
