HORSE HURT
BY A TROLLEY
Another Accident at FIori-
da Grove Crossing--T
Ia This Vicinity.
HARD TO SEE CARS

One man was severely injured, a
horse was badly cut and bruised and
a wagon was dameg to the extent of
about $125 In a smashup between an
east-bound trolley car and coal
wagon belonging to the Perth Amboy
Coal and Ice Company, about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
collision occurred on the Smith

Grove road, almost the identical spot
where horse belonging to the same
company was killed less than a
month ago.
Soren Petersen, of Goodwin street,
who was driving the wagon, is the
injured man. He was thrown from
his seat and one of the wheels of the
wagon passed over his lef. He was
taken to the Office of DR.. Charles /.
Silk, in State street, and later car

According to a member of the firm
by whom Petersen is employed, the
wagon was passing through Florida
Grove road, which is SO situated that
It was almost impossible to see the
car, No. 1,158, in charge of Motor
man Lawrence Christy and Conduc-
tor H. Hanson, approaching. The
car struck the wagon and, 1t is al
legged, carried 1t for almost 200 feet
after the horse had detached itself.
During the past three months
three accidents have occurred at this
spot. The first was collision be-
tween a wagon owned by S. Splitter,
in which the horse was badly injured.

ago, when a horse belonging to the

MORE CARS ARE
RUNNING TODAY
Probability of a General
Strike Growing Less
Night Service Resumed.
STATE POLICE ON DUTY

Special by United Press Wire.
Philadelphia, Feb. 25:-The
seventh day OF the street car strike
opened SSiii1noGr distHrbance. More
cars are running today than at any
time since the strike began. The
probability of a general strike is
growing less.
Officials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company announced today
that the night service, which was
successfully tried last night, will be
increased until normal service is re-
sumed. The state police are still on
duty, but are having little trouble.
Only one disturbance occurred up
to IL o'clock today. This happened
at Sixth street and Columbia avenue
when a car on which a policeman
was riding was stoned and the police
man knocked unconscious. The state
constabulary charged the crowd,
using their long maces. The mob
broke and scattered. One arrest was
made.
The cars are being better patron
lied, especially in the shopping dis
trict, where many women are now
riding.
The vigorous action of the state con
stabulary has awed the rioters, who
until their arrival had such sway In
burning and blowing up cars and ston-
ing nonunion motormen. President
Charles Kruger of the Rapid Transit
company says ne is confident that the
company will soon be able to run Its
full complement of cars and that the
strikers win be beaten.
Offer of Mediation Shelved.
The Transit company is so confident
that the strike is broken that 1t has
referred an offer of mediation made
by the ministers of the city to meet
ing of its board of directors that will
not be held until week from next
Monday.
There was a general impression that
the company would agree to arbitrate
all differences save only the question
of recognizing the Amalgamated un-
ion, but the Philadelphia Rapid Trans
it company let 1t become known that
1t was standing pat and thoroughly
satisfied with its improved position.
Its attitude was based largely on
the success of the state constabulary
in checking riots and on its own sue
cess in extending it's service. Phila-
delphia for the first time since last
Saturday enjoys partial peace and cit
izens are able to go about their busi-
ness without lodging through back
streets to escape bullets and bricks

Find $571 Hidden Behind
Mirror in Room.
PRISONERS PROVE CLAIM
Police BeI'ev Complainant
Concocttd scheme to Get
Money--Case Dismissed.

Charged with stealing $3.50 from
a trunk belonging to their landlord,
Dominick Bruno, Louis and Felix
Lemano, twenty and forty-five years
old, respectively, of 334 Elm street.
We're arrested by Detectives Huff and
Long yesterday afternoon.
A search of their room disclosed
$5l7 sewed together in packets OF
500, thrust between the glass and
back of small mirror, hanging on
the wall. After the arrest, however.
the elder Lemano established his
right to the money and 1t was re-
funded to him when he was dis
charged this morning. The police
are inclined to think that the whole
affair was a scheme concocted by
Bruno to gain possession of part OF
the money.
Bruno had a warrant sworn out
yesterday for the arrest of his two
boarders. He told the police that
1888 had been stolen from his trunk
last Monday night, although he had
not discovered 1t until yesterday
morning. He said that the two
boarders were the only ones in the
house at the time the trunk was
opened, and were the only persons
besides himself who knew of the
whereabouts of the bills.
Detectives Huff and Long made an
investigation yesterday afternoon
after arresting the two men, and
found the $571 hidden behind the
mirror They questioned the elder
Lemano and he said that he had hid
den the money there hecause he waa
afraid OF being held up and robbed.
He denied any knowledge of hiR
landlords alleged loss.
According to his story. he has un-
til recently carried the bills wrapped
around uSan nIess, and for tfat

the men told truthful stories and dis
