SLIPPERY STREET
PREVENTED DISASTER.
Omnibus Slid Along the Asphalt

Angle and Finally Righted

IN an, almost miraculous manner four
teen crippled children were saved from
injuries and possibly death to-day in a
collision between n crosstown car or
One Hundred and Twenty-hfth street
and a private omnibus.

The stage was driven by William Alt,
The occupants. fourteen in number
were suffering from various inhrmities
and all badly crippled.
Alt drove the stage up Park avenue
M had reached One Hundred and
T~wenty-ffth street. Just as he reached
this thoroughfare he saw a One Hundred
and T~wenty-ifth street crosstown car
coming west at a fair rate of speed.
The motorman saw the stage about the
same time, and both made efforts to
stop N avert a collision.
Put IN the Brakes.
The motorman put his brakes on as
hard as possible, while Alt turned the
horses sharply to the west to get out
of the way. The attempt to prevent q
collision was unsuccessful, as the bump-
err of the car hit the rear axle Of the
stage with force.
The stage was raised clear off the left
wheels and showed along the slippery
asphalt for a. distance OF about Atty
feet. 1t was not overturned, however,

some time. The pole of the stage was

The sudden shock greatly excited the
children. They were In charge Of Miss
Helen NJ. Stockbridge, II teacher in the
auxiliary school. and she had great dit
fitulty in quletlng them. They screamed
and wept. and soon a large crowd had
gathered. No arrest was made. as The
police found that neither driver nor
motorman was to blame. In fact. the
police did not oven get the name o;

as miraculous. In ordinary good wealth
or she said there are Usually aDout
twenty-five children in the stage. The
failure to overtu.n the stage and posi-
bly crush some of the little ones was
due entirely to the slippery condition of
the pavement.
II is a rule for the crosstown cars to
slow up when the railroad station at
Park avenue is reached, Had the car
been going at full speed nothing could
have p%reysnted a serious ac S,htl1re ia

children who are too crippled to go to a

children's homes and the little tots are
