The inquest over the remaius of the late Mrs. Goodson, who died from injurics re ceived by bmn run over by a horse car ate the coruer of Twelfth and Farnam strec resulted in the exoneration of the driver of tho car of all responsibility in the unfortu- nate accident. The excuse of the driver was. that he did not see the victim, being at the time in watch for the motor car at the cross- ing. “Ths circumstance has led people to in- quire as to what understanding the drivers, the grip and cylinder men of tho various street car men have as regards the crossing of intersectio cted,” said a horse car , “that the car which first reaches a crossing has the right of way, whother it 18 a stroet, cable or motor car, Formerly, the drivers of stroet cars were expected to olaim this right even in case of collision; but of late, since the consolidatiou of the street car and cable lines, the drivers and gripmen take the greatest care w avoid coming together, It & colision does occur, and the ront. end of tha stroct car is struck, the stroel drivor is buld responsible. - 1f' the rear and of the the gripman is held to ac- count.” Au interyiew with a gripman resulted in & corroboration of the above statemeat A cylinder man on the motor line says that the rules, under which he is working, sp ‘oify that the car which reachos the crossing first has the right of way. 1f a_cable and motor car reach & crossing at the same time the cable car has the right of way.
