TROLLEY CAR RUNS DOWN MOUNTAIN
Sunday School Party Has Narrow Escape
from Injury

Montclair, July 2S CSpectaD.-A trolley with
fifty young people on board, representing a Sunday
school from Jersey City. ran wild down the noun
tain in BIoomfeld-ave. last night. The accident
was due to the brake chain giving way, rendering
it impossible for the motornan to control the car
any way.
The car sped down the steep incline at lightning
speed barely escaping number of collisions. That
no one was killed was largely due to the presence
of mind of the motorman. John Sweeney who.
when he discovered the plight they in. beck
70 the conductor to pull the trolley pole of
the wire. This had little effect.
At the Valley Road. where another trolley line
begins. the motorman continually sounded an
alarm and it is believed this alone helped to keen
the way clear for the rapidly moving car. Below
Midland-ave. the car was finally brought to a StO2
after Wild of two miles. Not one of the oC-
cupants was injured. Hundreds OF people watched
the runaway it's wild career, and expected
to see the occupants dashed to death
