WALK ICY FOOTPATH.
Cars of Elevated Train Leave Track, De-
laying Traffic.

Owing TO the fact that the last two cars on
southbound train on the Sixth-ave. line OF the
elevated road left tfe tracks as it was rounding
the curve from Fifty -third-st. into SiHth-ave at
9 o'clock last night, the lives of about forty pas
sengers were endangered. Had not the train
been travelling at a slow rate of speed, there
might have been many casualties, but it hap
pened no one was injured, and the only serious
result was the blocking of travel for several
hours After escaping possible injury by the
accident the passengers were forced to walk to
the Fiftieth-st. station, and the train was SO
situated that many had narrow escapes from
falling TO the street while climbing from the
train to the side path.
There were about one hundred and fifty pas
sengers on the train, which made up of six
cars and run by electricity. Just how the accf-
dent happened coul1 not be learned from the
officials of the company last night, but passen-
gers on the train say that after three cars had
successfully turned the curve. the last two sud
denly left the track and rolled upon the ties
for about ten feet. Then the train came to
sudden halt.
In the last were ten young couples all in
evening dress singing and laughing heartily.
One young man, thinking that a wheel or a
hange had broken, jumped up and pulled the
bell cord three times in rapid succession. The
guards the train echoed the rings from car
the power. The light in the last two cars had
gone out, and there was great deal of excite
ment.
To the guards great deal of credit is due for
subduing any possible panic that might have re-
suited from the accident. After assuring them
selves that the cars were in such position that
they could not fal! from the tracks they went
among the passengers and told them that there
danger.
The passengers we're informed that they would
have to walk to the station al Fifteth-st. This
proved q harder task for many than was an
ticipated on account Of the manner of construc-
tion of the road at that point TO make the
curve more secure many additional treStleS are
riveted to the pillars at that point and to make
a guard for the trains. they extend several feet
above the tracks Outside of these trestles is
the regular board footpath, guarded by an iron
rail In order to get to the footpath the pas
sengers We're forced to climb over these iron
trestles which were slippery with snow and ice.
The men formed themselves into guard lines
and the We're first taken from the train.
They had TO be carried over to the side path. A
strong wind blowing, and this made the
task more hazardous one to undertake. Many
of the women were frightened that they
