PEOPLE PANIC-STRICKEN
GARFIELD PARK CAR WAS on j., VI,
81. TRACKS At SOUTH STREET.


Another frightful railway crossing acct
dent was threatened about o'clock last
evening when an outbound North Alabama
and Garfield Park street car, damned with
passengers, got stalled on the tracks of the
j., NJ. d l. Railway at South street On
the street car tracks about seventy feet
each side of the railway tracks, ground
switches are located. These are for the
purpose of running cars onto the ground In
case of danger from collision with railway
cars Conductors are obliged to get off the
cars and throw these switches before pass
ing over the railway tracks. After throw
ing the switch the conductor goes forward
10 flag the car over the crossing, and then
catches the car again as il passes. This
leaves the trolley pole unguarded, and last
night just as the car was about to pass
over the railway tracks the trolley flew off
and the car stopped on the crossing. When
the conductor gave the signal to come
ahead he did not see that a train crew
were switching in the yards, and just as the
car stopped on the railway tracks, the troll
ley having flown off, a cut of seven or
eight cars backed down around the curve
and were within few feet of the street car
when the engineer stopped them.
the passengers, seeing the cars coming,
were panic stricken and a wild rush to get
out. which resulted in blockading the door
way, was made. Several women were al
most Frustrated and number of them
would not enter the car again until IL was
nearly block away from the crossing.
There is a sharp curve in the railway tracks
north of South street, and with the other
tracks filled with cars, an engine with few
cars attached can hardly be seen from the
street. The conductor, motorman and train
crew worked hard to prevent collision.
There was no fagman at the South-Street
crossing at the time. 1t was learned last
night that no fiagman is kept at this cross
ing on Sundays and at no time after 6
o'clock on week days. AT o'clock last
night not a single flagman was TO be found
at any of the crossings. Persons living in
the neighborhood of several of the crossings
expressed themselves very forcibly regard
ing the absence of the tagmen. Some of
them tell of many close calls experienced.
Regarr ing the practice of allowing the
crossings to go unguarded Sundays, they
say that II fiagmen are needed at any time
they are needed on Sunday nights, when
the crossings are more used by the people
than at any other time.

SPRINGER RUNS AMUCK.
Led to a Report that He Had Killed
His Daughter.

A little family trouble between William
Springer 300 Baltimore street, and his wife
and daughter caused Captain Kruger, sew
eral of the detectives and the bicycle police
to make time run through the city yes
terday to Springer's house. Some one tele-
phoned the police that Springer, after kill
ing his daughter, seventeen years of age,
was attempting to escape and was being
pursued by man on horse. 1t was learned
that Springer came home Saturday night
drunk and created disturbance. His wife
complained to the police of his actions, but
no officers came. He left the house early
yesterday and again returned intoxicated.
More trouble occurred and Springer, it is
said showed his daughter so hard that she
fell to the floor, striking her head with suffi-
Gent force to render her unconscious. The
man who telephoned to the police looked into
the house and saw her on the floor and con-
cluded that she dead. He saw Springer
running down the street and followed. The
father was found at his brother-in-law
and arrested. He is charged with assault
and battery with intent to Kill. The girl is
not seriously injured.
