One of the motor trucks of a well known oil company, with tanks full of, oil, met with a peculiar accident terday afternoon at the top of Cacsar's hill on the East Berlin road The truck was on its way to Middletown and had reached the top of the hill when the truck began to slide. The brakes only partially checked the speed of the mac¢hine which continued on until it struck one of the “thank- You-man near the center of the | hill. The force of ihe impact caused the truck to leave the ground and upon the rebound thg huge tank open- | ed a seam through which the oil poured in torrents. FEfforts upon the part of the driver to the flow were useless the fracture was to great to allow of effectively checking the stream of oil.!
