TRAMWAY ACCIDENT.
WELLINGTON, May 27. One of the most remarkable tramway mishaps that has taken place in Wellington occurred last evening, when corporation freight car No. 200 ran off the rails and toppled over the embankment fronting Little George street. The car was returning to the city from Karori, where a load of luggage and other goods had been delivered, and was being driven by Motorman T. Orchard, the conductor being J. Nolan. Both men had a wonderful escape from death. _ Strange to say, neither of them was injured, although one received slight scratches on the back of his hands. As might be expected, however, they both received a severe shaking.
