WILD DASH OF TROLLEY CAR.-Be-
cause an electric brake refuse to work, a
crowded Western avenue car of the Pitts
burg Railways Company ran away yes
terday on Federal street, Allegheny, Pa,
wrecked a carriage, broke through the
safety gates of the Fort Wayne Railroad,
derailed fast-moving freight train and
then went to pieces. Almost all of the
45 passengers abroad the car were hurt,
though only one fatally. When the mo-
torman tried to make the safety stop on
the steep grade at Stockton avenue, he
found the power brake was useless and
the car beyond control. 1t had about
1875 yards TO go before reaching the gates
of the railroad, which were down
to let a freight train pass. The big
car gained momentum every second
Harry Catin was trying to get his car
riage off the track, but failed and it was
wrecked completely. The car dashed
through the safety gates, struck an empty
refrigerator car in the moving freight
train, turned it over and derailed several
other cars. BY this time the trolley was
a wreck itself and its passengers were
strewn in all directions, the wonder being
that there were not many fatalities.

Tomatoes And Nnts.

Peter johnson of 1912 Washing.
ton avenue South. has had nothing
to eat but a handful of nuts and q
raw tomato a day for nine months.
He is a living example of the SO.
called fasting fad for foolish per-
sons.
johnson had partial paralysis of
the left side a year ago, he was the
victim of Bright's disease. weighed
240 pounds, suffered from asthma,
and was informed by his medical
advisers that he could not live
more than a month or two. Now
johnson weighs ITO pounds, is
harder than nails and free from
aches or pains.
johnson tasted nearly 40 days
when he began his "cure." Then,
as he tells the story:
II ate half a tomato a day for a
week and then increased to a
whole tomato. After a while I adj
ded a half pound of mixed nuts
Three weeks from the time 1 began
eating 1 was told to eat more by
degrees, but never to overfsed. 1
shall never take a chance. The
tomato and the nuts, with plenty
of water, keep me in splendid con-
dition. I am as sound as the day
l was born. 1 can do four times
the days work 1 used to do."-
