SAFETY APPLIANCES FAIL

Wilmington is Mortified by the scope
of the trolley accident which happen
ed in West Sixth street at midnight
sympathy is divided between the dead
and the injured, and the Peoples Rail-
way Company, which receives a stag
gering blow at the very start Of it's
existence as a common carrier
The cause Of the accident seems
plain. Two cars We're coming I'm Sixth
street and one was going out The
safety appliances Of the rear car COM
ing in refused to work on the steep
grade east Of Franklin street, and It
plunged down the hill into the rear of
the other car moving in the same di-
rection. Neither car was derailed, and
both cars plunged in Sixth until they
met the west-bound car at Madison
street, and there the big crash came
One person was killed and about forty
persons were injured, some of them Sc.
riously, and perhaps fatally. The run
away car was in charge of an expert
enced motorman, and It is to the credit
of him and his fellows on that and the
other cars involved that they stuck to
their posts TO the last. and went into
the crash with the passengers, who
were their charges. In most instances
the injuries sustained by the passen-
gers were due to jumping from the cars
while they were in motion.
The accident will cost the comDan,
dearly, for il win involve il in expen
siye litigation and tend to lessen il
patronage for the time being But it /,
a shame. after the inspection on Tues
day had been attended by such uniform
good fortune and satisfaction, and
thousands of persons had been carried
safely to and from Brandywine Springs
Park yesterday, that the day should
close with such a disaster, the precise
responsibility for which will have to be
determined by official inquiry.
