A Little Ancient History.
One of the worst collisions between
an auto and a trolley car in this town
in years happened Thursday night
dUOuL ~ y CIOCh "A Il VI u SaA
ing five passengers had just entered
West Main from North Washington
street and stalled on the trolley
tracks, the hind wheels being unable
to get over the amiesite. The last
car to Bristol had left the terminal a
few minutes before and according to
reports was travelling at an augmented
rate of speed. For unknown reasons
neither the conductor or the motor
man saw the car which was on the
tracks and directly under an electric
light The result was that the trolley
struct the lighter vehicle a terrific
blow pushing it for distance of
about thirty-f1 five feet before the troll
ley could be brought to a stop. For
tunately no one was injured to any
extent though the car was completely
demolished and was later taken to
Mannings garage where efforts will
be made to repair it.
1t has been officially stated that
suit will be brought against the Bris-
tol-Plainville tramway company for
damages.
Where the motorman was at the
time of the accident is the question
but rumor has it that the wearers of
the blue and the brass buttons are in
clined to enjoy themselves in some
social amusement, especially one the
late night trolleys.
