telligent-looking man, and the atatement ho
made waa glven ln a straljthit.rwr.rd manner.
He throwa tho blame entirely on the machlnery,
and sald that he rersonally was not to blame.
for the accldent. The street at the pcint where
the car Jumped the track la on a down grade.
and even when the apeed ls ordlnary the <:ir
needs a atrong clutch to prevent slipplrg. Thla.
accordlng to the ctory told hy the motorman. lt
dld not posaess. Le Rouffle explalned that his
car had what is known an a alngle motor.
"I was not golng at a rapld speod." sald he;
"certalnly not over ?ix mlles an hour. I dld not
have a heavy loao* on board. but the car began
to Bllp. I oould do nothlng wlth the brake, aa
lt would not hold. I was powerless. Of courae,
you aee that the car went faster at every turn
of the wheela. and when lt struck the curve
nomethlng had to go. I was frightened at what
happened. I knew, I would bo arreated, and I
lan home to tell my famlly of the accldent. bo
my wlfe would 60. be worrled at my absence.
When I returned to the wreck lt had been al?
most clear.-d away. Then I went to the pollce
atatlon and gave myself up. I do not conalder
that any motorman on the llne could have pre
vented the accMent, surely not when the ma?
chlnery went braok on him at a down grade."
Ever aince the Nassau company ncqulred con

been one of almost dally dl***ter. Accldenta

A railmad man who underatanda the pollr-y fol
lowed by th* Nassau prealdent condemned lt
yesterday ln unquallfled terma Re said he
th.-upl.t lt was about tlme that the Nassau road
got a few m-n to ault th-lr requlrementa. " rt, ire
is more in just ice oraetiaed on the Kaaaau road
than on any line In the city." he added. John
Hon and hla offlcera ara getting deaperate at the
nuniu-r of accldenta, and ar* acttng wlthout
good ludgment. Even if a man is ordlnarlly
competent. or more than that, an unavoldaole
accldent 1? a tngnal for his dlacharge. The com
.,.r,v is contlnually making an 'example, and
the reault la that many 8 good man is dlscharged
when a Ilttle forbearance and patlence would be
the makinp of 1 good motorman. It takes prac?
tlce for a level-headed man to liecotne proflclent

when rnen are ftred rlght and left regardless cf

Wbatevei may be aald concernlng the con

Flve yeara ago the old bullulnc was tboroughly re
palred. and It was thought at that tlme that lt
would anawer the nceda of tb* aoctoty for many
years to come. The rapld crowfh of that i?ortiun
of the clty has so tncreared the demand for church
slttlngs that th- toctot*/ now tlnds It n*ce*aary to
hav- e much larger bulldlng. Plans have already
been aubmltted an-1 examtned by the Rer It I>ar
