And Yet They Come

AnO let They Come.
 At $40 this morning a new car carrying six passengers skidded on the slippery pavement of Berlin street. turning turtle in front of the post office. Fortunately no one was in- jured to any great extent although several of the men received slight decorations of the face, body bruises and all were more or less shaken up. The car carried the number 231s.
 According to men who witnessed the accident the car was coming north at a slow rate and running on the trolley tracks. The driver noticing a .trol- ley car approaching from the opposite direction veered to the right side of the road at the same time applying his brakes. The momentum of the vehicle and the appliance of the brakes served to make the machine skid on the slip pery pavement. The rear wheels brought up against the curb on the left side of the road. The contact was so great that the car overturned, land ing on the sidewalk, pinning the occu- pants underneath. Conductor Maloy and Motorman Murray, who were in charge of the approaching trolley, were the first to lend assistance. Stop ping the electric car they rushed to the scene and lifted the wrecked ma chine so that those pinned underneath were able to crawl out. The two men who were injured were carried into the home of Postmaster Goodrich. They were given medical attention by Dr. Griswold, who happened to be coming from the Town hall in Berlin at the time. He reported that no bones were broken and that the worst damage was a general shaking up. The six men are motormen in New Haven and were going from that city to Springfield to attend a convention there. However, the accident upset their plans and several of them an- nounced that they would return to their native city, not by auto, but by train.
 The car was later lowed to Ventres' garage for repairs.
