PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2O.-At twenty minutes
Of 4 o'clock this afternoon a car was descending
the steep grade on Leverington avenue. leading
to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway tracks,
when the brakes refused to act, and despite tho
large quantity Of sand poured on the slippery
rails. the car shot down the incline. gathering
momentum with every foot.
Motorman Van Fassen worked ct tho brakes
and sand box and Conductor Justice Laymond
ran to his assistance, but their combined efforts
failed to check the flying car.
Just below Sherwood street another car
stood waiting to transfer such OF the passengers
on the approaching car as desired for the Penn
~sylvania station. George Yarnall, the motorman
saw the runaway car. but too late even to re-
lease the brakes on his own car. 1t jumped the
rails at the Sherwood street turn and was
front Of the "dinky" and partly against a lamp
post and fire plug standing at the curb.
Motorman Yarnall was thrown from his car
and escaped with a few bruises. but the crew of
the runaway were not so fortunate. Conductor
and leg were crushed and torn.
Motorman Van Fassen was also terribly cut
on tho head and arms. or the passengers on the
runaway car none escaped injury. The wreck
took fire from the heater, and one of the cars
was destroyed completely.
The ambulance from st. Timothy's Hospital
removed to that institution, where q few hours
after the accident all were. reported to BIO doing
well. with the exception Of Laymond and Van
Fassen. who, 1t 10 feared. will die.

tho Commissioners for tho United States and

The Behring Sea claims. which IL was proposed
to settle for $425. 900 by President Cleveland,
now aggregate moro than $500, 600. with inter
est for ten years. That the amount of indemnity
paid by the United States to Great Britain will
be much larger than was expected at first is APP
parent from tho evidence already submitted.
Some of the claims will be disallowed. but tho
