BUS of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company ran down and kilied one man and narrowly missed two others in upper Seventh Avenue. The accident happened at 11 o'clock at night, but the three men were standing under a bright electric light and witnesses @eclare the bus chauffeur was nodding over his steering wheel as if helt asleep. The Fifth Avenue Coach Company holds a valuable franchise which gives it a practical monopoly of bus traffic through some of the inest streets in the city. It can afford to hire first class chauffeurs and give them plenty of time for sleep. In its advertisements the company boasts the*safety and comfort @itich a ten-cent fare assures its patrons.
