railroad train on down grade that
struck a level at the same point.
Car Slides on lev Rails.


The trolley car, special run for
the convenience of the high school pu-
pills, carried about 100 passengers. AS
the car approached the crossing the
motorman noticed that the gates were
down, this being a warning that a
train was due. He applied the brakes,
but the rails were covered with ice, and
the wheels would not hold. The car
slid like a sled to the crossing, crashed
through the gates and stopped on the
track on which the Morristown express
was approaching. The next instant the
crash came.
Neither the engineer of the train nor
the motorman of the car could stave
off the accident. The motorman,
Henry Brady, who was probably ia
tally injured, did all in his power to
stop the car, even to the extent of sand
ing the track and reversing the motor.
Carried Two Blocks.
So great was the speed of the express
train that, although the engineer ap-
piled the brakes before the crash came,
it cut it's way through the car and car
ried many dead and mangled school
children on with it. When the train did
stop, two blocks beyond the scene of
the collision, the mutilated body of a
young woman was found wedged be-
tween the Stats of the pilot.
The children who had crowded back
in the car were scratched and bruised,
and some were seriously injured, but
the deaths wererestrictedto those who
took the front part of the car. Those
in the rear, when turned over in the
car, scampered out and extricated
themselves from the mass, the front
part of the car being torn away. 1t
was found block and half down the
track.
Rescue Injured.
Immediately the accident had been
reported all the police reserves of the
Second precinct were sent to the scene
to keep back the crowd which had
gathered. Mutilated bodies of the
children were scattered in all direc-
tons. The uninjured passengers car
ried the injured children to nearby
places of temporary refuge. Later the
injured were taken to their homes or
to hospitals.
