Why the motorman did not hear the clang of the fire bells or take heed when the engine passed across Bridge street Is a mystery. He hit the track broadside at full speed, and the nolme of the impact aroused the sleeping inhab- {tants of the nelghborhoud fur several blocks. ‘The heavy truck was lifted in the air and the elght men on it tossed twenty feet away.
