A Wild Train in tHie Fennsylvanla
Railroad sthtson.
What might have beenaa serious acci-
dent occurred at the Pennsylvania Rail-
road station about 1920 O'Clock this morn
ing. A string of day coaches failed to an
swer to the breaks and sna6ving at good
rate Of speed tore over the bumpers at the
track terminus and crashing through the
large iron guard gates, spent their force
against the brick wall of the station. The
impact was SUFFICIENT to tear large hole in
the wall scattering bricks and mortar
about. Fortunately only one person was
injured. He was John Mclaughlin, a
brakeman, whose home Is at 121 Massachu-
sets Avenue northeast. He was thrown
from the rear car and stunned. It is not
thought his injury is serious. The damage
done to the station is considerable and 1t
will require several days to repair 1t.
The railroad officials and employees OBJ
serve the utmost reticence and claim to
have little knowledge Of the cause OF the
accident. A yard engine was making up
an early morning train in the trainshed.
Cars were picked up In the yards and after
being coupled together We're switched to
No. track, which Is in the centre OF the
she'd and started toward the station prop
er. The engine was cut loose, leaving the
cars in charge Of Brakeman Mclaughlin
to continue on into the trainshed. AS a
rule the momentum Is SO regulated that
the cars are brought to q stop without
much braking.
Mclaughlin, IL is said, was on the front
platform Of the first car into the shed.
He attempted to apply the brakes. and
realizing that they would not work and
that crash was inevitable, rushed through
the string of cars to a rear brake. There
be was again unsuccessful in his efforts
to check the cars. He was still at his post
when the first car struck the bumpers or
blocks" at the end Of the track and was
thrown violently to the ground.
When the first car struck the "blocks"
it toppled them over as ball would ten
pins, and scattering splinters in all direc-
tions continued over the tagging for
twenty feet, when it crashed into two
large iron posts twenty feet high, eight
inches in diameter, and set on bases four
teen inches square. These were knocked
over like reeds. carrying with them the
large iron fencing and gates. The car then
crossed the tagging from the gates to the
south wall OF the station, where the train
struck with crash. The front end Of the
first car was wrecked and the rear plat
form was damaged.
After considerably difficulty the second
car which was partially of the track, and
the first car, which had crossed the open
space between the track and the wall Of
the station, were drawn off for repairs.
gang of men was then put to work clearing
away the debris and putting temporary
supports in place Of the iron posts. and
temporary board fence was erected, At an
early hour this morning another gang Of
men was put to work erecting new
blocks"

Robbers Raid a Brewery.

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Dec. 5.-Early this
morning three masked men entered the
office of the Bowler Brewery. Watchman
Paul Larson was confronted with a revoi-
yer and was soon tied to a chair. The safe
was blown open, but little money was Sc
cured. Larson was relieved Of his watch
and a pay envelope containing about $40.
Yesterday was collection day at the brew
cry and the robbers evidently expected to
find considerable money in the safe. One
burglar stood guard over the watchman
while the others blew open the safe with
dynamite.

manded his money. Thinking they were
ordinary hoboes. he made remark about
being broke. and started to pass on. The
highwaymen attacked him and attempted
to throw him. Talmadge. who is we'll
built and stocky. started into defend him
self. and was getting the best Of the rob-
bers. when one Of them pulled revolver
and fired two shots at him at close range.
One bullet penetrated his body near the
heart. and the other lodged in the muscle
of the left arm. Then both highwaymen
took to their heels. They have not yet

Every houi Of his time is fully mapped
