Council decided to allow the telephone
company to put a pole in front of the

.FATAL RAILRO4D ACCIDENT.

Disastrous Collision ON the Philadelphia &
Reading Raiirond mt FrRnIford, Pa.-Two
Instantly Killed, Three Fatally Injured,
and Others More or Less Hurt Due to "a
Conductors CareIessness.
Philadelphia, Dec q. THE local
north bound train on che Philadelphia
d Reading railroad, which left the sta
tion in this city at 6, l5 O'Clock this
morning and reached the suburban
town OF Frankford at G. A, started from
the Frankford station without waiting,
as is customary, for the down train
which arrives at 6.44. The result was
head-on collision at Sellers streets,
two blocks north of the Frankford sta.
tion. Two persons were killed and
several injured. Three of them fatally.
killed-Daniel Hart, aged 10 years,
of Frankford; George Anderson, aged
l6 years, Of Frankford.
njured-Edward Scott, aged 20 years,
Frankford, both lges crushed, will
probably die; Samuel Sievers, aged 50,
Frankford, both legs and one arm
crushed, will probably die; George
Lee, aged 10, Frankford, both legs and
one arm crushed, will die; Charles
Guard, aged %, Philadelphia, baggage
master, injured about legs and shoul-
dera; Herbert L. Fray, aged II, Frank
ford, one leg crushed, body badly
bruised; William Mosley, aged Ii,
Frankford, both legs badly hurt; Irwin
Udall, aged 45, Fhankford, both legs
and one arm brogen.
Several others were less seriously
hurt. All Of the killed and injured,
with two exceptions, were in the com
bination car of the out bound train.
The orders, as usual thing, are for
the out bound train to wait at Frank
ford for the train due at the same time
from the north.
The conductor of the north bound
train, it is said, ordered the engineer
to go ahead. The train had barely left
the depot when the engineer sent his
fireman back to ask Conductor Lewis
Jarrett IL orders had been received TO
go ahead as he, the engineer, had
heard of none.
AS soon as the fireman spoke to the
conductor, the latter jumped up and
pulled the rope for the train to back.
But before the engineer had time to
reverse. the down train crashed into it,
The force of the collision was such
that the bumpers OF both engines
smashed to splinters. The tender OF
the north-bound train was driven clear
through the baggage compartment OF
the combination car into the smoking
compartment, which was crowded with
passengers, and this is where the
slaughter took place.
