DEATH PLUNGE ESCAPED.
Trolley Car CIllides with an Engine
and halts on the Brink of the
Roaring Brook.

A trolley car containing eight pas
sengers c0llided with one of the Lack
awanna Iron and Steel companys
small engines drawing a trip OF loaded
cars near the northerly end of the
Cedar avenue bridge Saturday noon
and the car and its living freight were
saved by only a trolley pole from an
awful plunge down steep bank and
into Roaring brook. Three women and
an Arabian pedder We're injured, but
not seriously.
The car was descending the grade ON
Mates street. Motorman Miller saw
the approaching train and applied the
brakes, then changed his mind and at
tempted to make the crossing. There
is difference of testimony as to the
way the brakes worked, and as to
whether the tlagman, John Smith was
at his post and gave the proper sig
mails. .
= Half of the trolley car managed to
clear the crossing when the engine
struck the car and forced the wheels
from the rails. The momentum car
ried the car toward the Roaring brook
bank. IT would have plunged over
but for contact with a trolley pole,
which was snapped at its base like a
twg.
Mrs. Bridget Reap and a Mrs. Eagen
We're severely bruised, and Mrs.
Hyde and an rabiap peddler slight
ly bruised
Flagman Smith says he signaled
Motorman Miller that the train was
approaching. The latter makes a
statement to the contrary.

.-.. by the Piece of Lead.

The bullet which last Thanksgiving
day was lodged in the shoulder of
William Widener, and which was lo-
Gated by an X-ray picture taken a
week ago yesterday, was extracted
Saturday afternoon in the home of Mr..
Widener in the rear of $40 Washing
ton avenue Prior to the location of
the bullet by the X-ray picture, which
was taken by DR.. LOngstreet and Mr..
HUMMER, the spot where the bullet
was imbedded was a matter of con-
lecture, but Saturday afternoon when
DR.. Longstreet, in the presence of Dr.,
Allen and Dr. O'Malley, prepared to
extract the bullet, it was with the ut
most certainty of reaching the object
that he made a vertical cut, midway
between the neck and the left arm pit,
at the point where the photograph in
dicated that the bullet was.
With but little difficulty the piece
of lead was reached 1t was imbedded
about one and one-half inches from
the skin, and when brought to view
proved of 32-calibre, and but slightly
battered. 1t is quite certain that Mr..
'Widener will now regain the use of
his left arm, which was paralyzed by
the bullet. The securing of the piece
of lead with so little difficulty was
the last development of what has
proven a highly successful and inter-
esting application of the Roentgen
ray in aid of surgery.
