NARROW ESCAPE

A tram conductor named Charles Morton, a married man, had an extremely narrow escape from a serious accident shortly after noon to-day. He was etand> ing beside his oar, No. 35, on the Aroj street run, which was stationary at the I loop at St. John'e, Church in Upper Willjs-fttreet, and when the up c*r was passing he apparently endeavoured to mount the front step of that car, with ' the result that he collided with, h« own car, and was knocked beneath it. Fortunately the up car was slowing down at the time, or' otherwise the consequences would have been serious. Morton ws* unconscious when taken from beneath the oar, and was carried to Dr. Agnes Bennett's surgery, where it was found that no bones had been broken, but that Morton was considerably bruised and wh suffering from Bhook. He wa» removed to hit home in Adelaide*rottd. Messrs. E. Johnikton and Co. advertise a sale in their rooms to-morrow of 660 lots of oak furniture, also books MM nttftMrous other good*.
