Accident to a "Trailer" Car.

A trolley car on the Calvary and Lutheran cemetery branch of the Steinway railroad fell over an embankment at Maspeth, Sunday afternoon. The car was a light open one and was being pulled along by a closed motor car. When the accident occurred the two cars were on their return trip from the cemeteries to Long Island City. The twelve passengers of the "trailer" were badly shaken up, and one or two of them injured, but none fatally.
