THE TROLLEY IS NOW CHAINED DOWN

Since the death of Motorman Harrison, while changing a trolley wheel, the cars have been provided with a chain to strap the trolley to the top of the car while it is being removed, instead of allowing it to fly up as was done before.  The motormen say the accident might have occurred to any one of them, as they were used to changing the trolley wheel before the high tension power was put in and having the trolley wheel strike the wires with no ill effects.  "There had to be a first time," said one of the motormen yesterday, "and poor Harrison was the victim.  It might have been any one of us.  But it is liable to happen to any of us now."
