CAR JUMPS THE TRACK.
Runs Off at Curve and Ties UI
Traffic.

An argument between the front and
rear trucks of car No. % of the LIE Droit
park line as to which direction the car
should take when it reached the curve
at nth and E streets northwest shortly
after o'clock this morning resulted in
the car jumping the track and tying up
traffic.
The car, operated by MOtorman G.
Pence, made stop at the switch on 18th
street just north of + street. The usual
way is to turn right into Z street, but
the front trucks decided that a shorter
route to the wharves would be down
18th street. AS they struck the curve
into E street they ran over 1t and con-
tinued over the pavement for about
twenty feet. The rear trucks, however.
thought the route laid out by the street
car company was good enough and start
ed around the curve into E street.
After about an hours work, another car
of the nth street line pulling, the rum
away was replaced on the tracks and
continued along E street When it was
seen that some time would be consumed
before the car could be replaced on the
tracks inspectors of the railway COM
pany directed the cars Of the LIE Droit
Park and 18th street lines around 18th
and F streets and down 9th street to
the wharves. thus allowing passengers to
reach the river front without much de-
lay.
