RIVERVIEW PEOPLE COMPLAIN
Want the Old Schedule TROLLEY Cars to be
Renewed

Residents of Riverview and the vicinity
are complaining Of the present schedule
in operation by the Wilmington City
Railway Company by which the River
view cars turn west at Fourth street in
stead of proceeding to the p. W. * b.
railroad depot as formerly.
They say that in going to and returning
from work much time is lost by having to
change cars at Fourth and Market
streets and the result Of the discomfort is
that petition containing large number
of names has been forwarded to the COM
pany officials requesting that the old
schedule shall bc returned to. So far no
action has been taken in the subject ms it
is said that persons living in the south
western section of the city are much
pleased at the present schedule and do
not desire it changed. In view of this
fact and of the probability that petition
will be forwarded by the latter people oh
jecting to any change, the company viii
not take action until both sides are heard
from.
Conductors and motormen on the
Riverview line are well satisfied with the
present run and say that they will not ay
erage over two transfers "a trip to persons
desiring to go down Market street.

CARS PLUNGE
INTO CREEK
Destructive Freight Wreck
Near BrandamOre
CAUSED BY BREAKING BOLT
Crew Jumped Into BraRdYWine and
Swan Ashore With But Minor
Injuries

destructive wreck, caused by the
breaking of a coupling bolt on freight
train No 60, occurred on the Wilmington
q Northern branch of the Philadelphia
q Reading railroad about one mile be-
yond Brandamore, shortly after 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. Three cars were al
most totally demolished and several of
the crew were injured, though none SER
iously.
There is sharp curve on a steep grade
where the accident occurred and il was
while the train was rounding this that
the crash came Freight train No. 60,
Wilmington bound, and heavily loaded
was putting up the grade and had reached
the top when a coupling bolt parted, free
ing six cars and the caboose. which ran
down the grade like bullet and crashed
into the section attached to the engine.
There was a deafening report and the
three rear cans of the first section seemed
to stand in the air for "a moment and
then went whirlng through space and
landed with a tremendous splash into the
waters of the Brandywine creek many
feet below.
Members of the crew who were stand
ing on the tops of the cars attached to tho
locomotive started on a mad run across
the top of the train, endeavoring to gel
as far as possible from the cars which
they saw would be telescoped.
just as the crash came three members
jumped from the train into the creek and
swan ashore, escaping with nothing more
than scratches and bruises.
The work of clearing the debris from
the tracks occupied but a short time.
The wrecking forces today are engaged
in hoistmg the cars from the bed of th'
creek as it is not believed that they ar
damaged beyond repair.
